Swatches ~ Kat Von D Vampria Liquid Lipstick



This is my 3rd KVD liquid lipstick purchase.  Slowly i'm collecting the colors I like.  These aren't cheap, $24 and I must say they are well worth it.  The formula is very moisturizing, not like some of the cheaper ones on the market such as Colorpop and LA Splash.  I haven't tried Anastasia's liquid lipsticks which are $20 but I do want to buy at least one for comparison.

Fitness ~ Transformation Occurs With Persistence & Not Giving Up

Fitness Over 50

I started my fitness journey during my birthday month in August 2015.  The photos in the pink sports bra shows me at 34% bodyfat and weighing 151.5.  Through a series of sugar detox, weight lifting and cardio, I got my bodyfat down to 25%.  I don't weigh myself much but the last time I weigh myself I was 144.0 and i'm a whole lotta muscle now.

Swatches ~ Tom Ford Savage Blush Swatched on Brown Skin

 Tom Ford Savage Blush

Tom Ford Savage Blush is one of those blushes that you really need in your collection. The velvety texture and smooth application screams love at first blush (haha).  This is the third TF blush that I own, I own Wicked and Flush, both very well used and loved.  However, with Savage I feel this will definitely become one of my daily staples.

Beauty ~ "Facial Flex Ultra" The All Natural Face Lift

 Facial Flex The All Natural Face Lift Review

I was searching for natural face lift remedies when I came across the Facial Flex Ultra, the all natural face life device on Amazon. I was absolutely amazed that this device could actually lift my jawline preventing the sagging skin that i'm starting to notice.  I'm in my mid 50's and although I don't feel like I need any kind of facial surgery, i'm not totally against it either, but for now I'll try some different remedies first. With the Facial-Flex, which only cost $65, it just seemed like the perfect remedy for solving my problem areas.

Fashion ~ Finally The Perfect High-Waisted Leggings That Cover Everything

High Waisted Yoga Pants

I have been seeing quite a few of the younger ladies in my gym wearing these high-waisted leggings and I always wondered where they found them.  I started doing a little of my own research and low and behold I found them here on Amazon for $22 a pair. The name of them is "90 Degrees by Reflex" and they are very comfortable and quite thick.  I actually did a photo below bending over so you can see that you absolutely can not see through them.

Fitness ~ Quest Protein Powder Fuels my Gym Workouts

Quest Protein Powder Smoothies

The moment you realize that your physical journey involves so much more than just hitting the gym, it becomes a part of your everyday existence.  I knew that fruits was going to be a huge part of my diet but I wasn't exactly aware of how I was going to fit them in on a daily basis.  I wanted to have a bowl of fruit everyday for the natural vitamins, minerals and nutrients that my body needed so I was searching for ways to incorporate them into my daily regimen.
