6 July Empty Beauty Products

Hello Pretty Ladies,

This week, I feel like I skipped a few days! August is just flying by. Over on Instagram, I did a fun collab with the girls who went on the Rhode Island Trip with me. It was a fun and a little silly recap from morning into night. If you didn’t see it, you should go check it out. I also shared a recap from Ben and me’s Gaylord Couples Trip on Instagram with an entire blog post with all the details. Read that here.

Let’s get to today’s topic. I tried and tested out beauty products. I like to call the “empties” products I tried out until emptied and tested to provide you with that honest review. Yesterday, I made a whole video on Instagram, discussing each product and giving my honest thoughts (maybe too real) on all six products. Head over to Instagram to view. I think you’ll like it and find it informative.

Here on the blog, I am giving you the product, some ingredients, and the product links.

5 make up products from 2022

Five makeup products from 2022 changed my skin’s look and how I did my makeup.

Hello pretty ladies,

I hope your first week of the new year is going well. I wanted to share five makeup products that significantly changed how I did my makeup and what it did for my skin. Video HERE where you can get a visual. These five makeup products either helped give my skin a dewy/glow or helped me achieve a better or easier look. As we age, our skin loses its natural youthful glow. I found products that help achieve that glow without glitter sinking into pours. It is all about the light.

I had girlfriends comment on how good my skin was looking, and even though I will give a lot of credit to my skincare regimens, it was because of the products I added to my makeup routine that gave my skin the appearance they were noticing.

✨ It’s all about the glow✨

Here’s what I used to get that dewy glow in 2022✨

Trinny London BFF serum

Trinny London BFF– de-stress-tinted skincare formula helps to reduce the appearance of everyday stress on the skin. Instantly plumped and radiated.

Use wear alone or layer for desired coverage. Great on aging skin, as it doesn’t settle into pores.

Olivier Midy-Eclat Midy-Face oil

Olivier Midy face oil-It helps your skin and gives a beautiful glowy & dewy complexion. It allows makeup not to sink into pours and achieves that plumper, dewy completion. Apply all over after moisturizer.

See how to layer skincare HERE properly.

*Note the product is pricy, but you use very little, so it lasts a long time.

Charlotte Tilbury-Hollywood flawless filter

I wear #3, fair pale, Hollywood Flawless filter

It gives you a youthful glow! This is a game changer in the glow department ✨✨✨ apply to the forehead, nose, and cheekbones before you apply your foundation or tint.

Charlotte Tilbury- Eyebrow set 3

Three products in one easy set!

–medium brown brow lift a pencil,

–legendary brow= micro precision tinted brow gel

–Brow fix =brow serum gel to keep brows in place

It makes doing your eyebrows easy and fast✔️ This was something I struggled with, as I never really did anything to my brows as a teenager or later. Brows weren’t a big focus in the 90s, and mine had a natural shape. They were always very light, and so was my hair, so it never occurred to me to make them darker to frame the eye. (even in my modeling days, they never touched my brows)

Now, darker, more pronounced brows are a big trend. It’s funny how a brow style trends. I have read the thin 1990 brows are coming back. However, I will be sticking with my natural brow, darkened. The Charlotte Tilbury eyebrow pencil, tint, and gel help you to achieve easy shaping (pencil) and darkening (tinted brow gel) and stay put with the brow serum gel.

Charlotte Tilbury- Filmstar Bronze & Glow

Contour and Highlight powder in light/medium/Clair-moven

This due set comes in two sizes, so if you want to try it out, the small due is $29, Shown here. I just ordered the full size, as I love what it does for my skin. You apply as you would any highlighter on the forehead, nose, and cheekbones.

What I’ve Purchased Lately

Hello pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing a few items, “What I’ve purchased lately” Pieces for our home, a couple of Items Cozy items to wear perfect for Spring weather, and a cute Jumpsuit for that upcoming warm-weather vacation.

I love a little refresh for Spring for our home and my wardrobe. In Utah, it’s still cold until the end of April, and you do need layers, sometimes just light layers. So I added in a couple of warm and cozy pieces in my favorite neutral shades. I found a cute jumpsuit for Spring break and something I’ll wear all Summer long. I love getting a new pair of house slippers for the season, and I found these cute slippers in white for $12.00. Our home needed a couple of little pieces,s and Spring is the perfect time for a little freshen up.

Office Lamp= As you know, I moved my home office upstairs, and I have been adding finishing touches to the space. I found this tremendous chic and straightforward lamp that adds the light I need to my desk and the communication of gold and marble base for that stylish feminine touch I am looking for.
The Perfect Mirror= Something on my Wish list is this Large Anthropology mirror I will get for our new home. Meanwhile, I purchased the small one for my office, and I adore it! Perfect for checking your makeup or those hats I love.
Candle– Capri Blue Volcano candle is one of my all-time favorite scents. It smells excellent any time of the year. I usually burn them in the Spring and Summer as I like fall and winter scents for those seasons. You will not be disappointed in this long-burning candle.
Water bottle=The water bottle that keeps you on track hourly. If you had a goal to drink more water this year? This bottle is for you! It fits in your car’s drink holder, is easy to hold, and keeps track of your water hourly. I have loved this water bottle compared to the one I purchased a couple of years ago.
Turtleneck tunic= A Super soft and lightweight Tunic in Cream and the perfect weight for Spring in Utah. I received one from Avara in Blush in January and loved it so much I purchased it in Cream.
Jumpsuit= This strapless jumpsuit is flattering and cute for Spring and Summer. I love the crisp white, cropped wide leg and flattering strapless top—a great wide belt to accentuate the waist.
Slippers= Who doesn’t want new slippers for each season, especially when you can get these cuties for under $12. I purchased it in white.
Cozy Cardigan=, The perfect shade of oatmeal, goes with almost everything and is a much-needed layering piece for Spring. I have worn over my pj’s at home and on travels, thrown on over everyday outfits, and it’s cute over tee shirt dresses and a shirt dress. You’ll love this cozy soft layering piece.
Laundry basket= I finally found a laundry basket that looks beautiful sitting out and has the function I need. You’ll love it too.

Tarte Beauty 30% off Sale

Hello Pretty Ladies,

The Tarte Beauty Sale we all look forward to started yesterday, and this is a great time to pick up your favorite items at 30% off, stock up, and maybe grab something you have wanted to try. Like a new pallet, a blush set, or the great new dual brush. I am sharing my top 9 products I love and use daily from Tarte, and I hope you’ll give one or two a try.

Tarte Shape Tape= Ultra creamy Concealer, The iconic shape tape concealer, now with a built-in EYE CREAM for 24-hr moisturizing! This is perfect for midlifers and is not drying or sinks into fine lines or wrinkles. the Orginal Shape tape can be too dry for mature skin
Lip Therapy Mask= Get pillow-soft lips all day long with this creamy daytime lip treatment with a hint of tint for a smooth, supple & hydrated lip. Utah is so dry and can crack lips without using a regular lip mask. I love how this mask keeps my lips hydrated and smooth.

Amazon Clay Matte Pallet=Master your matte with this cool-toned palette! Matte palettes are great for aging skin, as glitter shows off fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, a matte eyeshadow helps to enhance your eyes. I love the shades of browns and earth tones in this palette. This is my daily go-to eyeshadow palette.

Amazon Clay Pallet=WINNER Best Palette, Allure Readers’ Choice Award 2021. This Pallet has the same tones above but with shimmer and matte shades. This pallet’s colors help eyes look bigger and are great tones for all eye colors.

Glow Pill super serum=Daily dose of skin-hydrating vitamins in a lightweight serum that delivers hydration & improvement in fine lines & wrinkles for up to 24 hours. This has to be one of my favorite serums for getting your skin to glow and look refreshed. I use it at night before my nighttime moisturizer.

Double-ended Complexion Brush= Double-sided brush for an instant cheek lift! Angled side lift and contours cheeks, Now how does middle-age need that? I noticed a big difference when using this brush on how it helped my blush and highlighter blend better and lifted my face.

Brezzy Cream bronzer= want that just got back from the beach glow? This is your product, a buildable cream bronzer you’ll love. I love a cream bronzer and blush as I have gotten older. It doesn’t crease or settle into fine lines.

Maneater Mascara= I wear lash extensions, but I still love a great mascara on my lower lashes, and this one, WINNER Best Mascara (Drama), Allure Best of Beauty Award 2020 (in black). I love how long and full it makes, even my lower lashes.

Pro- Glow Highlighter= A highlight and contour palette with six pigmented powder & cream shades to create perfectly glowing, chiseled looks. I love the mix of powder and cream. The shades are beautiful. I use the creams more for my skin, but now and then, I love the sparkle in the powder. It also works great as eyeshadows.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read my blog post. “Tarte Beauty 30% off Sale” I would love it if you left a comment below. You can also find me on Instagram, Pinterest, Liketoknowit, Amazon shops, and Facebook.

Easy to make No- Bake Energy Balls

Easy to make No-Bake Energy Balls

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday! Today I thought I would share a quick and easy recipe for “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy” I don’t know about you, but I love a good recipe that could be made fast, has a ton of flavor, is healthy, and that my family will gobble up.

These easy-to-make, No-Bake, Energy Balls are all of that and more. It takes about 10 mins to make. I add Chia seeds to mine for extra fiber. (Important to add more fiber when you are a midlifer). I have found we like Trader Joe’s Chia and Flax seeds. I shared a fun “How to Reel” on Instagram.

Easy to make No-Bake Energy Balls

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup chocolate chips ( we like dark Chocolate)

1 cup ground flax seeds

1/2 cup Chia seeds

1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

One tablespoon vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients in a bowl: Form into 1 inch balls with hands or a small ice cream scoop.

Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze until set (about 1hour)

For an extra touch, you can dip in Chocolate.

For simple Chocolate

Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of butter in the microwave and stir.

Dip 1/2 of a ball into….

We like Trader Joe’s Flaxseed and Chia seeds.
