I went out last night to Spehora and bought the Benefit lipstick (hug it out) and blush (Dallas. These colors are perfect for every skin tone. The lipstick is so silky smooth. Love it! I plan on buying the other products later.

Christie, thanks for the update! It’s been a while since I’ve bought lipstick (I’m more of a lipgloss girl), but a silky feeling lipstick sounds wonderful.

I’m a Senior citizen and would love to have hints about foundation for the over 65 face. Carmindy talks about the light spray that evens out the tones but I can’t seem to find it because I don’t know the brand.

Carmindy is wonderful! Her makeup always looks so flawless and natural. And the wonders she can do with people! Can I be next please?
That Carmindy code sounds awesome; a whole bottle of high beam for free? I should have been reading this blog earlier!

I think I said something about it earlier, but I really want Carmindy’s book. When I flipped thru it everything just seemed so easy and uncomplicated. Maybe it’s time to finally just invest in it.

I am 63 and just tried a couple of Carmindy’s new natural make up products from the Sally Hansen company. This stuff is great! I used the foundation and lip stick and lip moisture stick. Feels good and smells yummy. Sorry, I don’t have the official names of these things while I am typing this. The lip products are light and refreshing and the foundation comes in a pump bottle which I like. I have a hard time finding a light foundation at my age that still covers well. This is the one. Doesn’t look cakey. I used my fingers to dot around my face and then smoothed and blended it with a makeup sponge. One mistake I made was pumping too much out of the bottle the first time. It only takes one small pump on the dispenser and that will cover your whole face, believe me! This should make it a good buy because it will last a long time, right? My next purchase will be the mascara and maybe a shadow. It’s very exciting to see this make up line as I just love her and how she transforms people with just a few quick tips.
