A cheap thrill! Cover Girl Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Lush Berry

Run don't walk to pick up the amazing Simply Ageless cream blush, compliments of our friends at P&G.  Ellen is the popular spokesperson for Cover Girl and Olay's Simply Ageless line of products. This blush is a standout product at a reasonable price.


IMPORTANT:  Buy the glowy, red-purple color called Lush Berry.  Similar to the color of Armani's lotion, this resembles a couture-brand color. Even better, the formula is idiot proof (Armani's is the opposite, tough to work with).  Completely blendable and slow-drying, Simply Ageless blush can be applied slowly and blended where it looks best without panic that it will dry in the wrong place.

You will love this product.

Note, you can layer a bronzer where the sun would hit and right over the blush (as they do at Armani) for a warm tanned look and/or add a "pop of color" (a Bobbi Brown term) with pink powder blush for night-time impact.

Best ever eye make-up tips from Armani

These are the best eyeliner and mascara application tips ever courtesy of an Armani makeup artist at Saks.

For eyeliner, use a creamy long-lasting black pencil, like the ones from Armani, Lancome or Loreal Infallible. Look down into a hand mirror.  Line the INSIDE of your upper lid with small back and forth motions  The end result is a darkened lash line without a "lined" look.  Very rich.  If you want you can add a smoky line above the last line for additional definition or night-time glamor.  Note; this is a similar look to that favored by Laura Mercier and Bobby Brown, but they use powder and a straight-edge brush for a (too) natural eye look.

For mascara, use Estee Lauder Projectionist or Armani's new shiny mascara. Look DOWN.  Coat underneath lashes (which is on top when you are looking down.)  Then, STILL LOOKING DOWN, coat the tops of the lashes with upward strokes which will also curl them.  This is how makeup artists get that great look.

Cold weather finds for glowing skin and great hair

Have the heat on all night?  Try using a thick cream like  Eucerin PLUS Intensive Repair Body Creme (available at Walgreens and CVS, etc)  for glowing hydrated skin in the morning. Works better than expensive age-fighting creams in cool weather because it has one mission- hydration.

An insider tip recently to fight winter- dry, static-y hair. A tiny bit of a Shea butter cream, run through the dry parts of your hair with your hands, works wonders. Leaves a non-shiny, non-frizzy healthy look.   L'Occitane makes the most famous Shea crean; and they are happy to give you free foil packet samples at the register.  Use a pin to make a tiny hole in the foil and that free sample will last for months.
