Look 10 Years Younger with These Makeover Tricks

We gave three women an anti-aging makeover. Read on to see their transformations

Look 10 Years Younger with These Makeover Tricks

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeover article

If you still think plastic surgery is the only way to look younger, think again. Turns out your hair and makeup can make you look years younger. We asked stylists and makeup artists to give three women — one in her 30s, another in her 40s, and a third in her 50s — makeovers that would erase years from their looks. The results? You have to see them to believe. (Then steal the experts’ tricks for yourself!)

Hey Gorgeous!
Oh snap I love a great product that does what it says!
I’ve tested a sample of the Jason Natural C Effects Pure Natural Super-C Cleanser and the anti-aging serum in the same line.
Wow-the cleanser is light, removes all makeup, rinses clean, removes mascara, leaves skin clean but not dry and tight-in short, it’s amazing! Best of all, it’s a natural product free of parabens, synthetic fragrances, phthalates and sodium lauryl and laureth sulfates!
Then it gets even better when you figure that it is easily accessible since you can get it at Sprouts, Whole Foods, Walmarts, Targets, online and just about every major health food store.

I also tested the anti-aging C Effects serum and it’s so light and refreshing-fast absorbing and soothing on the skin. I’ve always had a good experience with the Jason Natural line-most recently with their Lavender shampoo and conditioner for fine hair as well as the Jason Tea Tree Oil deoderant. Good stuff!

We may have taken advantage of a red light or two to apply our mascara on our way to work. Don’t judge — you know you’ve done it too. And while we’re not advocating such a dangerous habit, we acknowledge that life gets busy and you may not have enough time in the morning to perfect your winged tip. That’s why we’ve come up with these four hot looks that are so easy, you can pull them off in five minutes flat (preferably with the gearshift in park).

Hello Gorgeous!
Are you getting ready for the red carpet at the CMA’s tonight? Are you lucky to be attending the Country Music Award show with the duet performance of Blake Shelton and Kenny Loggins singing the theme to Footloose?

Good luck to all the nominees like Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Keith Urban and The Band Perry.
Now-if you are going to the show or not, now is a good time to line up your safe sunless tanning.
I tested 3 products in the FAKE BAKE line of Beyond Bronze which portions of the sales are shared with the
Noreen Fraser Foundation-for cancer. October is breast cancer awareness month and you can do double duty by keeping your skin cancer safe too by using a self tanner versus laying out in the sun.


The FAKE BAKE Beyond Bronze line has a lotion, aerosol spray and a foaming mouse. Each gives a beautiful brown tan look and there is very little DHA scent, in fact it smells more citrusy and fresh than like self tanner.

As my test has had several hours to develop my color is getting a deep bronze! Enjoy this short video demonstrating the products and remember to visit http://www.fakebake.com to find out more!

Hey Gorgeous! Happy Hump Day! Veterans day is coming up, and before you know it, Thanksgiving and then Christmas and I encourage you to stock up now on skincare and beauty treatments that you will need in the busy season because if you think you don’t have time now, wait til it’s the middle of the season!
I just tried Arbonne Revelage Intensive Brightening Night Serum-wow, talk about a clarity booster! Smooth even skin is what I got with a 7 day 2x’s daily use of the Arbonne Revelage. Sure, it says for night time use, but who’s counting?
I’m happy with my results and looking into other Arbonne products-you can too, go here! Now-for those of you who are needing some extra Christmas cash-my friend Tara Overholser does Arbonne as a business and it literally saved her life! Her dear and amazing mother recently went home to Heaven and Tara’s Arbonne business gave her the flexibility to take two months to adjust to the loss while still providing her with a full time income. Tara is an amazing single mom, raising a daughter and building a home based business that gives her the opportunity to stay home where she is needed and still keep her income level strong. Sound good to you or have questions-just ask her. Til next time!
Stay tuned-so much good stuff coming on your way!

Holiday season is upon us ready or not!
You get to choose where and what you spend your money on for gifts whether for yourself,
family, friends or charity. Though this Holiday 2011 season you can get some new makeup and nail polish while also sharing some charitable
holiday cheer.


This set from Lancome is a 3 pc face powder, red lipstick and nail
polish in vibrant red and the proceeds from the sale of the trio
are shared with the Golden Hat Foundation whose ambassadress
is actress Kate Winslet. She became involved after watching “A Mother’s Courage: Talking Back to Autism” with her daughter. When Ms. Winslet’s daughter asked what it would be like if she couldn’t talk to her, it stirred Kate to action. See the whole story here. Get your Golden Hat Lancome trio here! Gorgeous!

I would also like to share a guest blog spot by friend, mom, business woman and entrepreneur Laura Wintemute. She shares a short post about raising a son with autism. The full is story is on the link below. So when you purchase your limited edition Golden Hat beauty trio from Lancome, know that you are impacting children-like Taylor!

I am one of the lucky ones; my son is high functioning. He can tell me he loves me, hold my hand or give me kisses. Some days he is just like any other kid. And other days are hard, so very hard. His mind is brilliant, his smile and laughter are amazing; but his frustration is unbearable and I know we’re at the point where others can tell something is different. I fear everything- will he ever truly be independent? What if something happens to me, who will take care of him? But to him I can never show my worry, and holding it together might be the hardest thing for both of us.

MTV European Music Awards have wrapped in Belfast Northern Ireland and Bieber has won. Again. Need to give a vegan lip tint or relax in a bath after a busy award show, LUSH has it!

I would have like to have been in Belfast, Northern Ireland today to enjoy the award show but alas-I was busy here at home.
Justin Bieber won for best male, Lady Gaga won for best female and Katy Perry won for best live act.
The MTV EMA show featured a performance by Jessie J who was a presenter at the show.

I think after all that goes into preparing for an award show that these celebrities need some LUSH handmade cosmetics!

Holiday gift giving has started-and if you want to impress someone or give a gift that is memorable and keeps giving, LUSH Golden Wonder bath bomb has a secret inside-you have to get one and wash to find out what it is!

The LUSH Snow Fairy shower gel is a luxurious fruity and sparkly bath treat-it goes great with Katy Perry’s pink hair!

LUSH is vegan bath and beauty products, handmade, minimal packaging and good for you. www.lushusa.com to get some!

Today is the Miss World pageant
and it’s a beauty pageant .
The real story I believe is about Helen Morgan.
She was the 1974 Miss World, the first ever to
resign her duties after the media
made a spectacle of her being an unwed mother
and there was rumor of an affair with a married man.
In today’s world, that’s what the president, world leaders
and celebrities do everyday. No one cares or bats an eye.

So I write to say good on you Miss World 1974 Helen Morgan for taking a stand for your family and choosing to raise your son outside of the media spotlight.
I think it would have done wonders for Chastity Bono if her mom had spent more momma time with her.
The first two photos are of Helen Morgan as she was crowned Miss World, and then one of her son. I think their smiles say it all!
The new Miss World has already been crowned and it goes to Venezuela. Good luck Miss World 2011 Ivian Sarcos and your new reign.

Now I wonder what the Miss World pageant contestants used to get their stage ready glow? My experience with Pageant Perfect touch up spray from Be Bronze has been so good-I suspect these tanned ladies used it too.
Learn more and get some by visiting the website at:
http://www.bebronze.com
The key is using a water based exfoliant before self tanning then keeping the skin hydrated with paraben free products! Now go get some glow!
