Even Ellen Has a Hard Time Opening Simply Ageless.

When I was watching Ellen today, what do you know; Ellen decided to answer a letter from a viewer asking her if she ever tried to open the jar of Simply Ageless Foundation. I found it not only hilarious, but poignant as so many of you have had this problem too.

It seems even Ellen had a problem. Check it out!

CoverGirl and Olay Simply Ageless Foundation: Opening Instructions and Usage Tips.

I don't think I have ever received as many e-mails as I have before now than with the questions I have been receiving about Simply Ageless, the new foundation from CoverGirl and Olay. I told you about this foundation innovation just before the holidays and it seems as though many of you have purchased and have questions. The number one question I get is, "How do I open this?". So I went to CoverGirl and have the information for you right here. 

I have discovered not only how to open the compact itself, but found some great tips on how to use this as well.

First, to open the product. There are two parts to the compact. The top part, which contains the actual foundation, and the bottom part that contains the sponge.

The bottom simply flips open to obtain the sponge, and lets you keep it there when not in use.

To open the top part, you need to twist the large clear lid off of the jar. It only takes one turn and it will open. The lid might be on tight, but it will definitely open with not too much effort. Remember, righty-tighty, lefty-loosey: Turn it to the left to open, to the right to close.

To apply the foundation, simply smooth the sponge across the compact to blend the products together and apply. The white color will never ever change the color of the foundation. It is just the special process by which the products were made to work in conjunction with each other. If you want to see it in action, check out this video with CoverGirl Makeup Artist Molly Stern, as she uses a wedge sponge to apply it to a model. To get a softer more sheer finish, dampen the sponge with water before applying.

Brighten Eyes with CoverGirl Eye Lights.

For an instant and easy brightening to the eyes you need to give this mascara a try. Making your own eye color pop with the use of some special light reflecting tints and metallics is the key in Covergirl's Eye Lights.

You see, there are four specially formulated shades for each eye color. There is Black Pearl for Brown eyes, Black Ruby for Green eyes, Black Gold for Hazel eyes, and Black Sapphire for Blue Eyes.

As I have hazel/green eyes, I tried both the Black Gold and Black Ruby. I will admit that I was afraid to try the Black Ruby as I didn't want anything red near my eyes, but the tint was really undetectable. All it did was brighten my eye, and make my eye look much more green. The same with the Black Gold, as my eyes were very bright and almost glistening in a golden brown/green color. Very unique.

You can pick up Exact Lash Eye Lights Mascara at drugstores and mass retailers for $7.49. A waterproof version is also available for thos who wish that type of formula.
