My Vanity Shows

I have been waiting for this to launch at Sephora and I’m so excited to share it with my over 40 gals!

KJH.brand KATIE JANE HUGHES prism lite lip crayons are fabulous so is the microscara and my absolute favorite is the hyper shine in lite pink!

Christmas came early for me! How about you? Have you tried this already or been wanting to try the brand? Let me know in the comments👇

This blush did NOT need to be this pretty. 😍

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in cosmic pink gives that fresh, juicy flush that looks like it’s coming from your skin not sitting on top of it. It blends beautifully, feels lightweight, and gives mature skin that soft, luminous finish I’m always looking for.

And the color? Gorgeous is an understatement. 💗

Would you try this one? Save this reel for your next blush haul and tell me, are you a cream, liquid, or powder blush girl?

I accidentally created this lip combo… and now I can’t stop doing it. 😍💋

Instead of just lining my lips, I started sculpting them like softly defining them with a little shadow and just enough color to make my lips look naturally fuller without that obvious overlined look, you know.

I used:

/Sarah Creal Lip Liner .creal
/Tanielle Jai Stayliner Matte Lip & Eye Definer
/Patrick Ta Sculpting Stick
/Giorgio Armani Luminous Cheek Tint

And somehow… they all worked BEAUTIFULLY together. 🤌 The result is soft and surprisingly natural especially on mature lips where I don’t want a harsh or heavy outline.

It’s basically contouring for your lips…but prettier. 😂

Would you try this technique? SAVE this reel so you can recreate it, and comment LIPS if you want me to break down exactly where I place each product. 💋

Tonight’s menu: Chanel with a side of Dior, a little YSL for seasoning, and Dolce & Gabbana for dessert. 🤌😂

Apparently, “I was just trying a few things” is not a valid financial explanation.

Be honest… what beauty product would be cooking in YOUR pan? 😂👇

Okay green-eyed girls… I think I found THE shade. 💚

You know I love makeup that doesn’t require a whole 10-shade palette and 47 blending steps. 😂

This is literally ONE eyeshadow and look at what it does to green eyes! Violette

Even better? It works beautifully on hooded eyes too.

Easy. Flattering. No complicated eye look required. My kind of makeup.

Want me to show you exactly how I apply it on hooded eyes? Comment “EYES” below and I’ll do the tutorial! 👇

Is the Dolce & Gabbana Cherry Glaze Bar Cream Blush Stick as gorgeous on mature skin as it looks in the packaging?

I put it to the test on my 56-year-old skin—checking the texture, blendability, pigment and how flattering it actually looks on mature skin.

Pretty packaging is nice…but you know I care more about how it performs.

Would you try a cherry-toned blush? 🍒 Tell me below!

If your foundation isn’t sitting right, your foundation might not be the problem!

It’s Get Ready With Me Wednesday, and today we’re starting where a good mature-skin makeup routine should: skin prep.

I’m using:

Alastin C-Radical Antioxidant Serum ALASTIN®
+ Ultra Violette Supreme Screen SPF50 Ultra Violette Australian Sunscreen
before going in with Natasha Denona N9 Foundation NATASHA DENONA

Because at 56, I’ve learned that the finish of my foundation has a LOT to do with what I put underneath it. Hydrated, protected, well-prepped skin = a smoother, more skin-like finish.

Save this for your next makeup day and tell me: Do you prep your skin before foundation, or do you sometimes skip it? 👇

7 hours later… and I definitely have a favorite. 👀

I tested Hung Vanngo Red Carpet Luminous Foundation against the Chanel Water-Fresh formulas on my 56-year-old skin and while they’re very different complexion products, one gave me what I personally want most: better coverage for my skin imperfections without looking heavy or makeup-y.

And that skin-like finish? 🤌🏼✨

I’m not saying which one just yet… watch the full wear test to see which gets my APPROVED and which gets a PASS.

What matters more to you in a foundation: coverage or a barely-there finish? Tell me below. 👇
