Happy Friday Beautiful Friends! Today’s “Five Things” is all about the Sephora Spring Savings Event going on right now! And yes, I’m making my suggestions specifically geared towards my more “mature” ladies in the over 40 demographic like myself!   I should have gotten these personal recommendations up earlier, because the sale does end soon, on Monday April 15th, but you know, LIFE, Spring Break with the family, and work commitments, kids sports, all the things have kind of slowed me down! Sheesh! But here are the tiers of savings depending on your status with Sephora before we get star ..read more

It’s March, and we have finally SPRUNG FORWARD…Woo hoo!! Seeing the sun more often along with warmer temps is what easily lifts my mood better than anything. Well that and a chilled glass of pinot grigio when 5:30pm hits, ha ha! And now that longer, sunnier days are here, I’ve been preparing for it.  In the theme of transitioning into this new spring season, I’ve also welcomed in quite a few new items that have been major difference makers every time I apply, wear, or look at them. So in the spirit of sharing, I’d like to drop 5 random spring finds I tell all my friends about lately! If y ..read more

Okay let’s try this again. I had originally attempted to get back into blogging a few weeks ago by posting my first blog post in over 8 months, back on Friday January 5th. I promised myself I’d start slowly so I wouldn’t get burned out right out of the gate and only post once every Friday. It felt good to hit “publish” on that first post for my own website after 8 months. I told myself I was going to keep things short + sweet and only post about my Pretty Powerful Top 5 inspirational things from that week in makeup, skincare, entertainment, etc. I would do this by sharing a few links from aro ..read more

Well hello friends, and happy Spring!  I know it’s been a while since I’ve done a post on my website, but I have a GREAT EXCUSE as to why I’ve been a little quiet over here on JennySueMakeup.com.

Whether you’re single or taken, Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate LOVE. Love yourself, love your friends, love your dog, love your partner, love your precious indoor plants…the options are endless! And what color immediately comes to mind when you think of the words >> Love and Valentine?? I think PINK.

If you’ve been following me for a while now, you know I’m not a newbie to fillers/injectables. I first started with Botox at the age of 37 then had to quit, because, well, Botox quit working on me by the age of 40.  Yep, I became resistant to injectable neuromodulators. Don’t worry if you currently love Botox, it doesn’t happen to many people. But it CAN happen and I’m living proof of it. And yes, I also tried Dysport and Xeomin after the Botox ordeal – but they’re all neuromodulators, which don’t work on me anymore. Hence, why I’ve had bangs cut to cover my deep forehead wrinkles for the ..read more
