October 10, 20255 min read

You know those beauty products that make you panic when you’re running low? 😅 The ones you love so much, you buy multiples just to make sure you’re never without them?

Well, that’s exactly what I’m sharing with you this week! 💄

As a beauty lover who helps women over 50 look and feel their best, I’ve tried my fair share of products... some fabulous, some forgettable. But these five? They’re absolute game-changers.

🎥 Watch my YouTube video below for a closer look at each one and see how I use them in real life, and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel, Michelle Fox Beauty, so you never miss a tip or tutorial!

If you got something out of this week's video, please give it some "hype."🎉 It's totally free for you and invaluable to me!


My Top 5 Beauty Faves

#1) 💅 Dashing Diva Magic Press press-on nails

These press-on nails are my secret weapon for salon-worthy manicures without the time (or cost!) commitment. They are head and shoulders above any other brand that I've tried!

Why I love them:

  • My nails are very weak, and I wear them short, so strips and gel polishes aren't an option for me and other brands of press-ons didn't last.

  • These Magic Press press-on nails last over a week, up to 2 weeks!

  • New Super Strong Adhesive and Base Shield make them even better!

They’re perfect for anyone who wants a polished look with minimal effort, has thin, brittle nails like me, and/or wants to get away from the expense and time involved in salon nails. I’ve been recommending these for years and can’t imagine my beauty routine without them.

#2) 🌸 Clairol Root Touch Up Color & Volume 2-in-1 Spray

This one’s for all my multitasking beauties! 🙋‍♀️

Whether you’re covering grays between salon visits or looking for an extra boost of volume, this lightweight spray saves the day.

Why I love it:

  • Blends seamlessly with salon hair color (my stylist always comments on it!).

  • Dries quickly so there's no sticky residue and lasts until your next shampoo.

  • Doesn't weigh my hair down or make it look dry.

It’s affordable, effective, and always in my bathroom cabinet.

SexyHair Hairspray

#3) 💨 SexyHair Healthy So Touchable Weightless Hairspray

Being a child of the 80s, I use hairspray every day. And this is the one.

It gives just enough hold to keep my look in place without stiffness and allows movement while keeping volume.

And when I'm ready to change up my style, I can easily comb through my hair with no resistance. It's like magic!

Why I love it:

  • Lightweight formula that still holds beautifully.

  • Can be combed through when you want to change your style.

  • Doesn’t make hair look or feel dry.

#4) 💆‍♀️ Better Not Younger Hair Redemption Butter Masque

Finally a haircare company just for mature women! I never realized how much our hair changes as we get older. It becomes thinner, more fragile, wiry, and dry. We need special products to address our specific needs and Better Not Younger offers a complete line of products just for women over 50!

I especially love their Butter Masque because it adds so much moisture and shine to my hair, making it softer, healthier-looking, and easier to work with.

Why I love it:

  • Deeply hydrates without weighing hair down

  • Makes hair feel silky and manageable.

  • Smells like a high-end spa treatment.

If your hair needs a little TLC, this is your new best friend.

#5) 🦶 Curel Foot Therapy Cream

We all want soft, smooth feet even when we can't get a professional pedicure. This foot cream has been a lifesaver for my dry heels and toes.

Why I love it:

  • Deeply moisturizes even the roughest skin.

  • Absorbs quickly, no greasy residue.

  • My feet look like I've had a pedicure!

I order 5 at a time on Amazon! Yes, it’s that good.
