My most recent beauty book report is Robert Jones' Looking Younger. You can see my full review at 5 Minutes for Books, complete with photos of me using some of the techniques I learned from reading this book. Like this one:
Along the top lash line, the definition should start at the inner
corner, and it should be thinnest there, becoming wider as you apply it
across to the outside corner of the eye. This is hard (for me, anyway)
to achieve. I tend to keep it the same thickness all the way across.
But I've been practicing and it really does make a big difference.
Likewise, on the bottom, you want to bring the color all the way across
to the inside corner, but the color should be most intense at the
outside corner. The same thickness all the way across can close in the
eyes and make them appear smaller.
And here on Chic Critique, I get to give away a copy for free! To enter the giveaway, just leave me a comment. Tell me about your Thanksgiving plans or your biggest beauty blunder or that my sweater's pretty. Anything except "great giveaway!" You get the picture.

Just the turkey,my man and me.
I came across your site and I like it. I’m always interested in looking younger….ever since my 15 year younger boyfriend dropped me because “I wasn’t young enough for him…” How’s that for a hook.
With family far away, we will get together with our landlady and all the people who rent from her houses and her family – between 11-1 – they actually raised the turkeys – and will have a sweet thankfulness ceremony tonight for them and cook them in the ground. It will be nice because our toddler can play with other babies.
Then my husband and I will head on up to Thunder Ranch Casino near Santa Fe for a huge turkey dinner and maybe play five or ten dollars in the penny slots.

I’m preparing a Russian Thanksgiving meal for my husband (I’m of Russian origin); I hope he’ll appreciate!
My husband is dieting (and doing great). My son is working on Thanksgiving. My daughter and I will probably go to a movie and maybe out for a turkey dinner. Cheaper than cooking for the two of us.
I teach English to high school students, and nothing – NOTHING, I tell you – was more humiliating than showing up one day with only one eye done.
I lied and said I did it to see if they could notice detail. I’m pretty sure they didn’t believe me.
we’re staying home and making a thanksgiving feast!

HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE !!!
I am in Canada so Thanksgiving has already gone and past for me. I just spent time with both my family and my boyfriend’s family. For the US Thanksgiving, I will unfortunately at school all day. Thanks for the chance!
We were going to have a ‘traditional’ Thanksgiving dinner like we do every year. However, we recently moved and have no stove in our new place – so, we are having a ham (cooked in the crock pot) and mixed veggies cooked in the microwave. 5 children, myself and hubby. This is my first Thanksgiving w/out a Turkey.
I turned 60 and I need all the help I cant get.
I have to work today (thanksgiving) but that’s ok, cuz it means I don’t have to cook the dinner!!
We had Thanksgiving early (yesterday). Today we are just hanging around.
