Beauty, books, New York, travel, and a full life after 40.

THE BEAUTY DESK

Still beauty obsessed.

AURA started with makeup. The difference now is that the beauty conversation grew up too: better questions, better edits and a 40+ perspective that does not treat aging like a problem to solve.

At the beauty desk

Reviews

Products get more than a first impression: texture, wear, value, who it makes sense for and whether I kept reaching for it.

Skin & Treatments

Skincare, professional treatments and routines approached with curiosity rather than miracle claims.

The PR Shelf

What arrived, what stood out and what was worth talking about after the unboxing.

Makeup Bag

Stories are added as they publish, so this desk gets better every time you come back.
