Every time I hear about another skin care product promising to give your skin a youthful boost and fill out all of those lines, each with their own story, I am so there. I work hard everyday to defy the signs of aging because honestly, I am not ready to go under the knife. Many women at my age have, but I am holding off for as long as I can.

Thanks to shows like NipTuck that are so explicit in all of their medical procedures I am even more put off by what goes on and have become a blogging crusader in discovering beauty products that are giving plastic surgery a run for its money. TNS Line Refine is one of them. Created to visibly fill in the lines around the eyes, mouth, and crow’s feet while providing long term anti-aging benefits, even after using just once I noticed a difference.

TNS instantly relaxes facial expression lines, and softens their appearance with light reflectors that conceal skin imperfections at the same time. A tube will cost you $70, but a little goes a long way and the results are worth the investment.

The original Lashblast Mascara was one of my favorites from last year. Now CoverGirl has introduced their latest, LASHBLAST LUXE, which has a hint of shimmer in all four new shades. Just gorgeous I tell you! Same brush that coats each lash and gives them glam appeal for eyes that can’t be ignored.

For the price, this is a really great mascara for creating lengthy, thick lashes that look amazing! I always have at least three tubes in my kit, and usually by the end of a shoot I have given at least one tube away.

Thoughts and a couple of charts at BoingBoing, bringing a few of the ideas of engineered longevity a little closer to the masses. Every little bit of advocacy helps in the long run:

Charts: 1

The bad news is that despite all our advances in medicine, sanitation, and other relevant factors, the chart still tapers off around age 100. Average lifespan has increased, but maximum lifespan has not changed significantly.

One reason may be that research to prolong maximum lifespan receives minuscule funding, especially compared with popular endeavors such as cancer research. Many people seem to feel that extending maximum lifespan would be “wrong” (even at a time of rapidly declining birth rates in many nations) or “unnatural” (even though our average life expectancy used to be around 40, and has improved through totally unnatural means such as antibiotics).

As you may infer from the quotation marks, I disagree. Of course, I realize that these are controversial issues.

One of the most effective special-interest groups seeking funding for longevity research is www.methuselahfoundation.org.

Charts: 2

We can feel happy that people today are surviving more tenaciously than anyone expected half a century ago. How will our current prediction turn out fifty years from now? Presumably the answer depends on our priorities. If lives are worth saving, perhaps it will make sense to fund more research into the aging process.

I don’t know whether to wear them or eat them! Style icon Dianne Brill’s “Panties in a Bunch” lip gloss set is glamour in a box girlies. Six candy-like glosses with cheeky names like Sheer String, Pearly Panty, and Satin Hipster, come wrapped like chic bonbons. Included in this set are three of Ms. Brill’s best sellers, and three limited-editions.

These mini versions of the full size lip glosses are tiny temptations filled with lots of bang for a perfect pout on any occasion. No wonder the list of celebs wearing these tasty glosses keeps growing, and growing.
