P...Can't wait to see your photos at this event. Please don't forget to share here! :)<br /><br />Beauty products I normally purchase:<br /> - Olay Total Effects<br /> - Some facial wash and toner from L'oreal<br /> - Phytogenics face powder from The Face Shop<br /> - Cheek Tint from The Body Shop<br /> - Chapstick or the Maybelline lip balm<br /> - dark brown, black and cream matte eye shadow from max factor (for my eyebrows)<br /><br />That's it. I decided to go au naturale since last year so I don't use a lot of make-up anymore. Like you, I only buy make-up when I have to attend a formal event... and they will usually expire before I use them up, haha.<br />Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05196167452204951169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575813723620766605.post-45576954884615238972012-09-13T20:04:22.090+08:002012-09-13T20:04:22.090+08:00I hope you enjoy your event, Diane!

He maintains my well-stocked supply of eau de parfum. Two of my favorites are "Beauty" by Calvin Klein and "Lolita Lempicka" by Lolita Lempicka.<br /><br />Next, I don't make-up, but I do pluck excess facial hair. As a redhead, that is facial mole-hair, eyebrows and even chin. Be careful, though, gals. Plucking all those outside hairs on the brows will render half-long eyebrows. (I think those "tattooed" eyebrows are horrible with a capital HORR.) As we age, we lose those outside eyebrow hair strands, so only pluck strays and leave those outside eyebrow hair strands be. At 50 you'll thank me for this timely advice. {Right.}<br /><br />And finally, I love coconut oil. I buy the cold pressed at a health food store. Not only is it great on toast, for cooking popcorn, etc. (yummy food grade!), it's fabulous for dry skin. As it's au naturale, it's better than man-made stuff. As a younger woman I had extremely oily facial skin, and I'm a sweat-er, too. But at 51, my skin has drastically changed over the past few years so my face and legs feel especially nice with a little coconut oil. If you want it to be a "cream," just pop it in the ref for a little bit and it will firm up and turn white. If you want it to be a liquid, just keep it on your vanity in the Philippine climate and it'll do just fine. LOVE the stuff!<br /><br />And thanks for stopping by kelleyhighway.blogspot.com to comment, Diane.

I actually use a line of products that I sell, called Artistry. I started using them a year ago and I have no issues with oily skin now! and I use the stuff everyday.. day and night, because it makes all the difference. If I miss a day, I know it... needless to say, I haven't missed a day in over 6 months because it is that important to me. The products are a little more expensive, but last so long and are definitely worth it!! I hope that your event goes well!!! I think I will have to look into those waxing services.. I've never gone, but I've been thinking about it. Does it really make all the difference???<br /><br />I hope you had a great monday and tuesday! :)<br />love,<br />amandaMysterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280327823899082287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575813723620766605.post-60054427017259400842012-09-11T08:54:05.722+08:002012-09-11T08:54:05.722+08:00I also love Lay Bare.

I end up buying stuff, which is more pricey but at least I know I'm in good hands. LOL.

I tried eyeliner as a teen and felt that it made me look to hard. Therefore still just wear mascara. I love going in to have a new cut every now and then. And yes, leave that to the professionals. The older I get the more scents bother me. They burn my eyes. Kind of weird, but they do. So I like lotions with only pure clean scents also. Best of luck with your event.<br />Hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575813723620766605.post-1901278079352559032012-09-10T10:22:18.269+08:002012-09-10T10:22:18.269+08:00Oh, I just became your newest follower...hope you ...Oh, I just became your newest follower...hope you like to follow me back.

Where I live, in the Andean region, right now it's like spring, sunny and all. For a couple weeks we had Fall cold weather, like in the USA.

Mother acquired an alergy 30 years ago against everything with perfume in it, even make up and creams..lol..I feel sorry for her cause she loved perfume! I also enjoy getting all dressed up and high heeled once in a while, cause eveyday cloths are what they are..EVERYDAY!! I go to the salon once a month, for coloring my hair, manicure and pedicure..I so love the pampering! I'd love to see you all prettier up, and with a beautiful dress, hope you share with us. Thanks for hosting, my first time here and I'm thrilled! Happy upcoming event and a very blessed week.<br />FABBYFABBY'S LIVINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027781738558115533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575813723620766605.post-75987294721659955542012-09-09T22:45:05.805+08:002012-09-09T22:45:05.805+08:00Hello Diane,

I have never had waxing done professionally - are you sure it didn't hurt??!! ;-)<br />Have you decided on a dress yet? Will it be blue? I'm sure you'll look fabulous on the day :)<br />Thanks for your sweet words on my blog. Yes, I did a little happy dance when the doctors told me. Health is everything!<br />Yes, that is a CK bag - got it online at greatly reduced price, but when I received it I thought - gosh, I could have made it myself! LOL. A little disappointed at the quality...<br /><br />Wishing you also a great week ahead and no worries about the upcoming event :)<br />Dunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273071467750510363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575813723620766605.post-24143325765083038682012-09-09T21:16:20.927+08:002012-09-09T21:16:20.927+08:00I have sensitive skin so I use products without sc...I have sensitive skin so I use products without scent and I appreciate others that do, too. Even at a formal event, I would prefer someone coming with the nice clean scent of soap and not perfume. There will be enough conflicting scents in the room. You'll be beautiful! I hope you'll have photos taken. Happy Sunday!~Lavender Dreamer~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06298191144517740164noreply@blogger.com
