What a very interesting question. Or at least I think so. I will admit I am over 40 and I think one should wear makeup that reflects more of what you feel than what your age says your makeup should be. Meaning most of the time I feel more in my thirties and just because I have a birthday coming up doesn’t mean I should act that number. That also means that if you are over 40 you don’t wear the style of makeup someone who is 20 does. Thats just going too young but if you are say 45 whats wrong with wearing the same style of makeup that someone who is 35? The age and what you are doing in your life isn’t that much different.

So the answer in my mind is Yes you can wear black mascara at 40 but don’t start wearing all those wild colors that someone in their 20’s can wear, thats just being silly!! The means no glitter eye shadow, eyeliner of mascara!! At least think about what you should be wearing and then try to find a style that fits you. I am a blond with blue eyes, most makeup creators say I shouldn’t wear black mascara.. ahh wrong I won’t wear the color mascara they say is the color I need to be wearing (brown/black)

The color of the month seems to be blue. Yes blue for your toes that is. With nail art as well.� I was reading my mag Nails June 2007� issue and on the front page is these really awesome looking toes in blue nail polish. The idea came from Some Blue from when you get married. Why not wear blue nail polish while getting married its something blue right? lol So I talked with my buddy Cindy the owner of BB Couture Nail Polish about a cream blue and she has come up with one. I used to be able to offer Blue Hawaii by Toma but they are all out of their cream blue but BB Couture has it!!

Come back soon I got this really cool idea that I got to run by Cindy first to see what she thinks of it and if she is willing to go with it.. oh my you are going to love it This blue has no name as of yet so you know what I might thinking about don’t you?

Your thoughts on this blue.. is it creamy enough for you or does it need to have more blue? Or by looking at the image does it have enough? Its such a pretty color I have it sitting on my desk next to a color called Prom Night Pink thats pretty enough for a bride as well. I will start offering in on Overallbeauty.com as soon as I get a image for it. Wow its a awesome pink..

I got bit of a problem. I got a collection of 13 makeup brushes with eyeliner sealer with a neat black bag. I got it in two packages in my mail today. Problem is without a invoice I don’t know who I got them from. The person who was so kind to send them to me lives in Clearwater Fl. If this is you I am not put your name on the web or address but will you please email me! I need to know if I am one: doing a review or two: you are showing me what you have to offer so we can work out a order or three: they are a gift. Now any of those is great with me they are really neat brushes but PLEASE anyone who send goodies out or orders out PLEASE send a invoice out with it.

If you sell items on eBay or have a website its very helpful to the person receiving the items to get a invoice cause then they are not stuck like I am trying to figure out why I got these pretty makeup brushes. Now I sold something on eBay, I going to go do a invoice for them and everyone else… have a lovely day!!

I got a email from the nice person who send me the makeup brushes. She forgot to email me to let me know they were on their way. And also forgot to put in the invoice I am crazy about it being a MUST HAVE in all orders coming in or going out. Thanks

Beautiful eyes are meant to been seen. I forgot my glasses one day, was in such a hurry I left them on the kitchen table. I wear two pairs, one for everyday and plus I must wear sunglasses. I put my shades on and left my eye case on the table. I was visiting with some friends and one of their daughters came and up and I heard ” Wow you have awesome blue eyes! I didn’t know you had blue eyes.” This teenage daughter has known me for over a year and only now knows I have blue eyes? Something is not right. I thought about it and I went to the restroom and looked at my eyes. It was only thing did I see why. I was testing a color I was creating for my Overall Beauty by kim mineral eye powders line.. I � always test colors out on my self, how they look how they stay on etc and I was testing this really awesome part pink part peach mineral eye shadow color. I think I know the name of it now “wow you have awesome eyes!” but that doesn’t tell you what the color is so I will have to work on it some more.
