  • Does Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara Give You the Look?

  • Redken Body Full Amplifier is Wonderful

    I have very fine, thin hair and although it's wavy, if not curly, I have no body. I have to stand on my head to get a little fluff.

    Now that I'm past the 20's and 30's and am in the soon to be 41 category, I have settled into a few basics that I require: olive oil, eyeliner, foundation, lipstick, eyeshadow and a blurry mirror (denial). I should belong to an infomercial anonymous club or sucker of the month club given the amount of money I have spent on the latest guaranteed products to look better, retain youthful looks and curb aging.
