Try googling images of - grey hair with lowlights. See if you can find an image that approaches what you are looking for. If you find something you like, consider the eyebrow color in the photo as well- that it is similar to your own. Another option is to add a sprinkle of highlights- a FEW very very lightly sectioned strands. Some lighter strands will add sparkle and may be enough to get you through. Chances are your grey will evolve more brightly with time. Mine has. |
Silver is the new trendy color for short and medium hair!
Bare this site has some absolutely gorgeous looks for grey hair, but the models are not very mature, so that may make a difference as to how they look so good. I went from almost black hair to platinum very quickly. Both sides of my family go white, not grey. I was in my early 40s and I was horrified so I went through all the streaking, low lights, hi lights, you name it, until I finally became comfortable in my own skin and accepted my hair and my "look" for what it is. I do get a really good stylish cut and my clothing leans towards modern youngish looking clothes. I also changed my makeup to a much lighter skin tone with emphasis on the eyes. My eyebrows stayed black so that helps. Going grey is difficult because it really does signal age, but you cannot fight age, so use all the improvements in hair color and cosmetics to make the best of what you are. I actually have people in my hair salon who ask for my hair color and my adorable hair stylist always says "this does not come out of a bottle, it is a gift from God". |

But that might look really bizarre on "salt and pepper" hair. I need advice re color. Eyebrows -- some women have eyebrows? :evil6: Perhaps I'll consider microblading when I return to TV. I heard about it on another thread. Do you know anything about it? Quote:
I think you live close to me. Can you share the name of your hair stylist? |

I am sitting here looking at a magazine ad for L'Oréal pure clay masks. There are different kinds that are different colors. (One with seaweed. One with charcoal. One with eucalyptus. One with red algae. The woman in the ad has all the colors smeared on her face. Gotta luv marketing.) These look interesting. I like the blue one. Has anybody tried any of them?
I would like to find a relatively inexpensive facial mask to use at home. Any suggestions? |
I love the facial masks from Lush cosmetics. They are available in some stores, but I order online at Lush. The rosy cheeks one is my favorite. They are fresh, handmade cosmetics.

However the description on the Lush website says they're available "in stores only". |
If you have Amazon Prime and you feel like watching a sweet little movie, you might like Greenfingers -- especially if you're a gardener. Helen Mirren is in it.
(It might be on Netflix, too.) |

Have you tried all the colours? Do you recommend the blue one? |
Quote:
Right now I don't have Amazon Prime as I cancelled it in Canada on Amazon.ca. I haven't yet activated it on Amazon.com. |

Is it just me?
What is going on lately with the sleeves on tops? Bell-Bottom Sleeves. Pirate-Sleeves. Puffy from top-to-bottom Sleeves. (Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about the puffy shirt?) Sleeves that look like something Mama Cass would have worn. Fringed sleeves. Sleeves that Halloween witches would like. I do not need to make some kind of fashion statement, especially one that would make me have to be constantly responsible for my sleeves...... I know I would end up dragging them through my soup and/or catching them in the car door....... I know I probably would have knee-jerk reactions and jump in to wipe up any red wine spills as fast as possible. I guess I am a Fashion Don't. |

Totally agree .... also dislike tthe "cold shoulder" look, it has been done to death. Just another thing to get us to buy new clothing. I am a classic dress person. I have been wearing the same basic classic style for years and I will continue to do so until the day I croak! And, while I am having my rant - what about these new shoes with the huge clunky heels. Where did they come from? Don't do much for a "neatly turned ankle"! |
You know how your eye shadow tends to migrate into the lovely creases that come with age on your eyelid? I found something that really keeps the shadow in the place you put it! It is from Urban Decay cosmetics and its called "Eyeshadow Primer Potion" it comes in "Anti-aging" and regular. It was a little pricey 12$ for the small tube and $22 for the larger one, but it lasts a long time. I found it at Ulta Beauty, but it is probably available other places that carry Urban Decay. I've tried lots of eye shadow primers and this one really works!

Yes, a lot less $$$

It is seriously less expensive! |
I'm interested! Just moved here. I'm 63 and single.

No it goes on like liquid but quickly dries to a powdery feel. I find it best to apply a thin layer of a neutral tan/peach eye shadow before my color (i.e. blue/brown etc.) because the primer potion grabs hold of the color quickly and it spreads nicely with a base color under it.

Permanent eye makeup?
I'm looking for recommendations for someone to do permanent eye liner and eyebrows. Thanks!
|
I have a consultation with Cindy of Permanent Makeup by Cindy tomorrow. I am also scheduled for eyeliner in March and the followup in April. She comes with many recommendations and is booked waaaaay out. permanentmakeupbycindy.com 330-307-4487 She is now in The Villages, though her phone # is not.

Quote:
I'd also like to get permanent eyebrows. I hesitate because the ones I've seen don't look natural. I've never seen Cindy's work, but I hear she is very good. |
I met Cindy this afternoon and feel very comfortable with her doing my liner. She is a tiny person and soft spoken. I believe she has been doing this for 30? years, though she doesn't look old enough. She said she is a perfectionist and put removable eyeliner on me to kind of give me idea how it will look. I am very comfortable with my decision. Now to wait for March!

If you would make an appointment for a consultation I think you would feel better about it. I have over 4 months to wait. I did not see it, but she may have a book with pictures of her work.

I requested an appointment today with Cindy. I'm hoping she will have a cancellation and be able to see me for a consultation early in 2018. I'm also looking for recommendations for botox injections. :mornincoffee: ... Making New Year's resolutions. :evil6: HAPPY 2018 TO ALL MY GIRL-TALK SISTERS! |
Blepharoplasty, anyone?
Any thoughts or advice on getting rid of droopy eyelids? Anyway, I have wanted to have the eyelid thing done for years. But I am a chicken-of-the-knife so I keep talking myself out of it. Also, I do not want to end up with a look of perpetual surprise. |
Quote:
If you go to an experienced and seasoned plastic surgeon (and expensive), I wouldn't worry about ending up with a look of perpetual surprise. Not that I've had work done, but I've heard that a blepharoplasty is a walk in the park. I had a friend that had it done in Florida. It was recommended by her doctor and covered by her medical plan. Go for it girl, 2018 is your year to shine! :pepper2: |

Season 4 of Grace and Frankie is streaming on Netflix as of yesterday. The binge has begun.
(On the Traditional Home website now, there is an article about the interior design of the houses on the show — that gorgeous beach house where Grace and Frankie live and the ex-husbands’ house, too.) Also, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is an Amazon series some of you might like. It is set in NYC in the 1950s. I liked the storyline, but just Mrs. Maisel’s beautiful clothes can make it worth the watch. |
Quote:
Will look at Mrs. Maisel too. |

Thanks Boomer, I'm planning to watch it right now! :2excited: |

I got a big kick out of the scene where Grace is trying to discourage the affections of the younger man. (“Younger” is a relative thing though because he looks like he is probably in his 60s.) Anyway, I loved it when she wipes off her makeup, pulls off the false eyelashes, and pulls the extensions from her hair, and says something like, ”Here I am.” — But he is still around. (Interesting that the writers wrote his character as very rich so we know he is not after her money. He could get his own beach house.) I am not finished binge watching yet. I guess this is kind of a binge-ette for me —unlike “Shameless” which I raced through — shameful though I felt. |

But my fear is that the product she uses to deaden the area would get in your eyes. I think you said you're having lip liner also, and I think she does blusher on the lip area. Do you have any comments about that process? |
Has anyone had or know someone who has had The MONA LISA TOUCH? I'm considering this procedure. Thanks.

I read the information on their website and it sounds great. Hopefully other readers with experience will post. |
