Hello! I know that I have been missing a few days of posts. I know you might have been looking for my Cinco de Mayo cocktail articles as well as the Mother’s Day Gift Guide.. but neither were there.
Unfortunately, it was not my choice. I started having problems this past Tuesday and was losing articles after I had finished them and scheduled them for publication. They went poof and were gone! On Wednesday morning, I was logging in to the site so I could wrap up Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day gifting articles and other related content on the schedule. Unfortunately, when I tried logging in, I got a blank screen.. as in NOTHING was showing. Not my login, not even one page. I was more than a bit freaked out. I contacted my tech person and we discussed what was going on. He took over talking to my host and trying to determine what was wrong. My biggest fear was that I had lost my site.
After about 3 days of hoping to get my website back and functioning, my tech guy realized that there were a couple of things he wanted to check on the “back end” of the site. He sent me a text message for me to try to log in…. and YES!!!! I was able to log in to the ” back end” of the site and I was able to check out what was still there.
My apologies for the delay. I will have content on Saturday and on Sunday. It won’t as huge an amount of articles as I had planned.
All I can tell you is Happy Mother’s Day and I am very glad to be back online!

Met Gala 2022: In America: An Anthology of Fashion!”
Guests were expected to follow a white-tie “gilded glamour” dress code.
Beauty Breakdown of actress Olivia DeJonge’s makeup done by Matin!
Photo is courtesy of the artist: Celebrity Makeup Artist Matin
INSPIRATION:
“Olivia is the epitome of ingénue, she’s statuesque, beautiful, and gorgeously real. She’s wearing a beautiful Prada dress
with an amazing geometric silhouette and embellishments that reminded me of the gilded age, but with a modern feel.
We wanted to create a clean fresh look that reflected the era as well as to showcase Olivia’s natural fresh beauty.
For the lips, we wanted to give a nod to Priscilla Presley, who Olivia will be playing in her debut film, ‘Elvis.’”
Matin, Celebrity Makeup Artist
The Met Gala is in the past, but you can replicate the beautiful make that Matin did on Olivia DeJonge. Olivia’s makeup was perfect and gorgeous.
The list below has links to every Lancome product that Matin used on Olivia. Now maybe we can all approximate Olivia’s gorgeous makeup!

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:
SKIN
● Prep skin with an infusion of hydration using Lancôme Advanced Génifique Hydrogel Melting Sheet Mask
● Next, massage in the NEW Lancôme Absolue The Serum (launching 6/1), followed by Lancôme Absolue
Revitalizing & Brightening Soft Cream to give skin a radiant finish and prime it for makeup application
● Blend Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation in 110 into the skin using a brush, following with Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer in 090 under the eyes and anywhere that needs a little extra coverage
● Set the skin with a light dusting of Lancôme “Long Time, No Shine” Loose Setting Powder in Translucent
● Sculpt the cheeks with Lancôme Blush Subtil in Rose Liberte and Cedar Rose, creating a ‘pinched cheek’
effect
● Add Lancôme Dual Finish Highlighter in Shimmering Buff with a kabuki brush to highlight along the
high points of the face and along the body
EYES
● Fill in and define the brows with Lancôme Brow Define Pencil in 01
● Use Lancôme Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in French Nude and Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow
in Drape to softly sculpt the eye, adding the darker shades to deepen the contours of the eye and lighter shades
in the inner corners and brow bone, giving a barely-there youthful look
● Fill in the upper lash line, going in between the lashes, with Lancôme Idôle Liner, giving the appearance of
thick, dark lash line. Extend the lash line by adding a subtle wing with Lancôme Artliner Precision Felt-Tip
Liquid Liner in Smoke and add gems to both the inner and outer corners of the eye
● Top of the eyes by adding several coats of the NEW Lancôme Le 8 Hypnôse Mascara (launching 5/20)
on the lashes
LIPS
● Apply Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick in Tendre Mirage and line the lips with Lancôme Le Lip Liner
in Charm (color # 277)
● Finish the lips by adding some shine using Lancôme Juicy Tubes in Marshmallow Electro
