All good things for yo face
MACs lipstick has been awesome longer than most of you've been around. I originally found this while working at Macy's in 1997. That's how long it's been awesome. It also tastes amazing.
Crème In Your Coffee M·A·Cximal Sleek Satin Lipstick - MAC | Ulta Beauty
My mom was using this like 100 years ago and when she'd get her little gift with purchase bags, she'd give me her cast offs and some of this amazing eye makeup remover. It's gentle, doesn't sting or burn your corneas, and gets the mess off your eyes.
4.2 oz Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover - Lancôme | Ulta Beauty
Ah-May-Zing! That's really the only word this needs. Long, curly, stays on. Done.
Intense Pitch Black BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
This has been around since I was a hell of a lot younger than I am now (in the early 90's!) and became everyone's staple next to Maybelline Great Lash. Best budget mascara on the market, hands down.
Blackest Black Voluminous Original Washable Mascara - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty
Ipsy memberships are the best! Monthly or bi-monthly you receive a bag of high end cosmetics and hair products that are well worth the few bucks.
Shop Makeup & Mystery Bags
When I struggled to find this in the US, I would pick up 4-5 jars when visiting my husband's family in the UK. That's how good it is at keeping my wrinkles at bay. And it's affordable.
Nivea Q10
This is another long standing epic mascara. Equally as good as L'Oreal Voluminous. (Both owned by the L'Oreal group) Some say they're the same but I'm not opening that can o worms.
Either way, both are amazing, long lasting, lengthening mascaras.
Définicils High-Definition Lash Defining Mascara
This is the BEST! I use it to wash my face and it lasts forever. It's gentle but gives my face a really nice, soft, but not greasy, feel after washing. It smells excellent and is really affordable.
Shea Moisture Soap
Yo Nails
My post menopausal nails were breaking like my heart did in my 20s. All the time. But after using this for a month, the breakage has stopped.
Again, like my heart after I found the right dude.
Hard As Nails
My mother wore this as far back as I can remember (the 70s), and to date, this is still my favorite brand of nail polish. It's long lasting, barely ever chips, and has stood the test of time for decades. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Yo Bod
Cheap and cheerful. An excellent scrub for face and body.
St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub, Fresh Skin, 6 Oz
Some say patchouli makes you smell like a dirty hippy bur this is one of the best dirty hippy smells ever.
Maybe it's my pheromones, but I get tons of compliments every time I wear it.
Aura Cacia Patchouli Essential Oil 0.5 fl oz
I'm actually past using these stupid things, but in peri menopause my flow became crime scene heavy and I can't not recommend these to the generations behind me who might have the same horrible issue. God speed.
Tampax Pearl Tampons for Women, LeakGuard
