🦌 Maine Moose Gurl Beauty
At 55, I’ve learned that beauty isn’t about chasing youth — it’s about caring for the skin you’ve earned through every smile, adventure, and bit of sunshine along the way.
With weight loss, aging, and all the time I spend outdoors, my skin needs a little extra love. I look for products that feel light, bring out my natural glow, and never make me look overdone. I’m not about layers of makeup — I want to accentuate what’s real and let my skin breathe.
My routine is all about simplicity, confidence, and lasting care — things that keep up with my busy, adventure-filled days and help me feel fresh from sunrise to sunset.
Because beauty isn’t about perfection — it’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin and letting your natural light shine. 🌿
These are the products I use daily (and love) to keep my skin balanced, clear, and hydrated. I’ve included everything from cleansers to treatments to moisturizers—each one has earned a permanent spot on my shelf.
My reliable go-to's, with a variety of my splurge favorites, and my my every day choices. I've used all of these products and feel like I've found a routine that works really well for my skin. My partner and I are both passionate about skincare and explore a lot of it together, always seeking new products that work well and improve our skin health. All of these have hit the mark.
I’ll admit it, I am an under-dresser when it comes to my face. I love keeping things simple with just a few products that make me look like the best version of myself without taking all day. These are the ones I reach for most, from skincare to the finishing touch.
This features good makeup for less (WAY LESS)! Each of these items are priced under $16! Plus they are all from Ulta Beauty so you can buy them all at the same place!
A collection of my favourite hair and beauty products that use I use daily. I like classic beauty and fragrances and neutral colours unless I'm getting fancy and I prefer to pay a little more for a better quality product providing it delivers!
I’m not a huge fan of makeup, so I try to keep it pretty natural and light. Whether that’s the colors and tones, or the general feel and application of the product itself. These are my personal favorites so far! (Still trying new things, so stay tuned!)
Gift giving is my love language but I honestly freeze up whenever someone asks me what I'd like/need. So I decided to start compiling a running list of items that I've previously loved, items I'd like to try, or things that I've seen and haven't bit the bullet to buy for myself!
