MidLife-Beauty.com: New Boomer Site

When my friends and I get together there is one topic that hogs the conversation. It’s not politics or the economy. It’s not sex or even our families. It’s the fact that no longer see what we’re used to when we look in the mirror and, frankly, we’re not sure what to do about that. We’re hungry for information about all things cosmetic, even those of us who used to be above such things. Yet the usual places to find such information–the women’s magazines–are, for those of us fifty plus, pretty lean. Vogue does a women at every age issue once a year. Harper’s Baazar does it as a monthly photo feature. More seems less focused on us than the lower end of the Boomer generations. So quietly and behind closed doors, we’re talking to each other. What do you use? What works? What doesn’t? What’s worth the money? What isn’t? Have you tried this? Would you? Yes? No? Maybe? MidLife-Beauty is a window onto what my friends and I are saying to each other about makeup and hair, our skin and our bodies. Go have a look.   We’re in beta right now, so we’re looking for your thoughts, ideas, comments and, yes, criticisms.  It was only four years ago almost to the day that MidLifeBloggers was launched.  We’re hoping MidLife-Beauty will be as welcome in on-line community.  So tell us what we need to know.  Now. Please. At http://MidLife-Beauty.com

    Ok, since it’s just between us girls, I must admit I got botox and love it! I have always had two deep vertical wrinkles between my brows. Because of them, I constantly look mad or fretful. My dermatologist persuaded me to try it and I love it. I got comments like ‘you look so rested’ or ‘your eyes look so bright.’ Only problem is it wears off and you have to repeat the treatment. It’s not cheap.

    I have to laugh. My mother got a facelift at age 50, her eye liner tattoo’d, and an eye lift a few later. She claims they were the best gift she ever gave herself. I SWORE I’d never do such a thing – never be so vain. Well . . . I’ve eaten those words!

      Oh Lisa, I dub you our resident Advisory Committee expert on the getting of Botox. I got it too for what the dermotologist called, “your crow’s feet”. Personally I, who have scanned every inch of my face with a 10x mirror, couldn’t really see anything resembling feet or crows. But Botox–how could I refuse. So I got it. Went home to the 10x mirror and still never saw any difference.
