Fabulous Over Forty – Where Beauty Is Ageless

I had the great opportunity to attend a book signing last night, of the TLC “What Not To Wear” specialists.  Signing books were Clinton Kelly, Nick Arrojo and the gorgeous Carmindy. All three of them could not have been more fabulous!   Such sincerely nice people as they chatted with everyone that waited in line for their book/s to be signed.

I’m going to focus today on Carmindy. First off, does she not look FABULOUS!?  She had on a beautiful dress and to-die-for shoes.  And her face – even more beautiful and flawless in person. As I had her sign my copy of her book, “Get Positively Beautiful” I told her that I write a beauty blog for women over 40 and she was excited for me. She asked me if I got samples of her product (they were giving away a few things and I got a lip gloss and under eye brightener) and then she gave me a few suggestions for me.  She wanted me to try her foundation and listed the color for me, and her all over face brightener.  I’m definitely going to give the products a try. The ones I received last night I will be posting about in a future post.

But more about her book.  I think this is a great book for several reasons.  One of the main reasons I love it is because she can easily relate to the “average” woman.  She discusses her beauty journey and really focuses not on our “flaws” but making those unique features to actually focus on!   What a refreshing concept, we’ve been preached to on how to cover our flaws, and this book teaches us to accept and enjoy them.  …
