False Eyelashes are great!

Hi Beauty Fans,

 Are you open to taking your "look" to the next level?

I am really loving the look of false eyelashes and today there are more great brands then ever! I  just reviewed Model21 eyelashes on Youtube.

I received the variety pack from them to review. I love that there are several styles for your every eyelash need.

 There website is easy to navigate and their prices are fantastic. I have not tried their eyelash glue but heard good things about it.

 Check out my video http://youtu.be/ZcS9Hcs88Yc It shows how to look younger using these great lashes.

Here is their website  to check out!

Drugstore and ELF Hauls!

I have been having fun doing some haul video for YouTube dtnj.

 Eyes Lips Face ELF and a drugstore haul from Walgreens.

I have come to enjoy ELF products and find a few not so hot but over all many I like.

They are getting better and better with improvements and really listening to what the customer wants.
 I suggest signing up for their emails and following them on Facebook for up to the minute sales and specials. Even over 50 gals can find lots of great products for super low prices.

 Elf is also sold at target and Walgreen's and I found some elf products in the dollar store the other day too.

 My Walgreen's hauls was mostly about new fall lip colors like rich brown/reds and plums.  Revlon lip products were buy 1 get 1 half off. I am really finding Revlon to be a new favorite. The lip butters are nice and moisturizing as are the super lustrous lipsticks and glosses. They are not sticky with lots of pretty shades for anyones preferences.

 Walgreen's just started a new rewards programs too. they change their sale items on Saturdays, so if you shop on Saturday you get the old sales and the new fly er sales so check that out!

Happy hauls and welcome to October!

Smart Cover Cosmetics - product review

Smart Cover Cosmetics Review-

I just tried some of the Smart Cover products. I started with the medium concealing cream.

It is a very highly pigmented formula used to cover scars, tattoos and port wine marks. I found the Camouflage cream to be a better choice for me as I am looking for a full coverage foundation.

 I received the makeup artist kit the kit includes:

• An Assortment of 4 Concealing Cremes
• A Color Corrector
• A Moisture Primer Lotion
• A Cover Stick
• A Vitamin Stick
• A Perfect Touch Camouflage Creme
• A Compact Finishing Powder & Puff
• A Natural Bronzer
• A Bronzer Brush
• A Tea Tree Oil Softening Stick
• A Red X Stick
• Two Camouflage Brushes
• Two Sponges
• The kit comes in a convenient cosmetic bag with detailed instructions that you can easily follow at home.

Make up and aging a series of tips and pointer to look great at any age!

I am now 51 and have found the makeup I use and love is needing to get tweaked in application. 

My eyebrows , like some other areas, that were upright and perky are now sagging a bit lol

There are lots of easy ways to adjust your makeup so you can still be that lovely, glamorous You!

I am going to be blogging about each area so we can look at them separately.

Let's start with foundation-

Ok I know I say more is more, but not when it comes to looking younger and foundation. Here, less IS more. Depending on your skin type and personal preference ANY type of foundation is ok.

I find my skin changes with the seasons, stress and hormones. Sometimes I use cream to powder foundation , sometimes mineral. I happen to love mineral foundations for the lovely coverage, light feel and ease of use. There are many on the market. Natural-Radiance.com has great pressed minerals.

 Everyday Minerals.com has really nice loose minerals with several choices of coverage and reasonable prices. I hope to do a review of their products soon!

 1. Make sure your foundation is not too light in color. This will draw attention to lines and wrinkles.

2. Always match the color on your jawline not your wrist.

3. The lightest finishing of powder only so as not to settle in fine lines.

These are just a few ideas to get you started. Remember to build covers, you can always add but it is hard to remove. Blend, blend blend. Have fun! Makeup is magic!

Hi,
Did you have a great weekend?
 Are you happy to see the Fall coming in and kids back to school! 
 Well, for me, an empty nester, it just is a little more quiet in the stores and in the neighborhood.
Being over 50 has some unique benefits and challenges. 
I still like my sparkle and love showing ways of being beautiful and glamorous in ways that work for over 30 gals.
 I am gearing up to post some reviews of new cosmetics and wigs. 
 Do you have any favorite you would like to see?
If you check out my Youtube channel dtnj06 you can see some video tutorials and wig reviews.
Thanks for stopping by,

Labor Day weekend summers coming to an end...

Labor Day weekend is here! Fall is fast approaching and I find myself ready to change out the pastel colors and get ready for some deep rich Fall and Winter shades.

It is also time to change your skincare regime too. A dry parched summer skin could you a much richer moisturizer at night. Consider deepening your hair color also.

 I am adding in a rich berry lipcolor and some new shades of makeup.

How about you? how do you say goodbye to summer?
