Pair these two lip products from Butter London together for a super pink statement lip or wear separately for a more subtle lip look. Both products also have major staying power, and lasted me through several hours of drinking and eating without needing to reapply.
Going to college as a mature student is a strange experience. You are probably excited at the thought of learning new things and enjoying life out of the rat race for a while, but being thrust into a sea of teenagers who are away from home for the first time is truly nerve wracking. You are probably desperate to fit in, so the last thing you want to do is dress like their mom, or worse, a tutor.
Wearing inappropriate clothing sends out the wrong vibe. First impressions count in any social situation, so you need to wear the right outfit for your first day in class. You are likely to be in a minority, with most of your fellow students in their teens or early 20s. You may not end up being best friends with any of them, but why set yourself apart unnecessarily? Here is a quick guide to rocking the college look, even if you are a 40-something mature student.
It is important to be true to yourself. Now is not the time to start experimenting with a radical new look. You might have gotten away with it in your teens, but you are way too old for that now. This is not to say you need to be boring. No, far from it. It’s OK to wear skinny jeans and some leather boots if that’s the look you are comfortable with, but don’t feel you have to follow the herd.
Hopefully, as a mature woman you are blessed with plenty of self-confidence. If you enjoy wearing colorful ethnic scarves or statement jewelry, then go for it. Jazz up a plain pair of trousers with a funky necklace and a colorful scarf. You won’t look out of place.
Are you used to dressing up for corporate meetings and your work closet is full of pantsuits and blouses? If so, you need to shake it up a little, otherwise people will mistake you for Hillary Clinton or a tutor. Most people dress down for college. Jeans and sneakers are the order of the day, with casual sweaters and hoodies for cooler days. If you show up wearing a smart pantsuit with heels, you will look and feel out of place. By all means, wear a silk shirt or heels, but dress down the look with jeans or a long Bo-Ho maxi skirt.
The great thing about enrolling in an online college course is that you can wear whatever you like. If you are studying for an online MSN nursing administration at Bradley University, nobody will know what you are wearing for lectures, since they all take place online. You can rock up to a tutorial with your MSN administration tutor and he won’t know you are still in your old pajamas. How cool is that?
Whatever your personal style is, dress accordingly when you start college. As long as you keep it casual, you should fit right in.
I’ve been using Diane 10″ Twist Flex Rods from Fromm Beauty on my hair and I am super impressed with my results. I have been trying not to apply any heat to my hair and these curlers are the answer to my problem. They curl my hair to perfection and I love it! I used these in my hair when it was a little damp. I put them in and I went to sleep. Sleeping with traditional rollers is a hassle and extremely uncomfortable. However Diane’s Twist Flex Rods are super comfortable to sleep in. I was amazed that I was able to get a good nights sleep! In the morning I had the perfect curly wave. I’ve also tried these with damp hair and waited for my hair to air dry before removing them. The results were great.
There are 30 Flex rods in the case and come in different widths, 6 each of 7/8″ , 11/16″ , 5/8″ , 9/16″ , 1/2″
Diane’s Twist Flex Rod also come in a plastic carrying case for easy storage. These are great and I am beyond happy with Diane’s Twist Flex Rods! I found then at amazon.com

The Look: Bold and sultry
The Inspiration: Celebrity Makeup Artist Kathy Jeung was inspired by the singer, actress and Rimmel London Ambassador’s dramatic black Tom Ford tunic, opting for strong bronzed eyes, bronzed cheeks and a pale lip.
How to Get the Look:
SKIN
To begin, Kathy applied Rimmel London Fix & Perfect Pro Primer to prep and prime skin for makeup. She then used Rimmel London Hide the Blemish Concealer in Light Beige to conceal dark circles, brushing Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer in Light/Medium on top, gently patting and blending the two together with her ring finger. Next, she applied Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation in Sand, blending into Rita’s skin with a makeup brush and a damp makeup sponge. Kathy then set Rita’s foundation with a light dust of Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Silky Beige and finished by applying Rimmel London Kate Sculpting Kit in Golden Sands to her cheeks.
LIPS
Kathy prepped Rita’s lips with Rimmel London Lip Conditioning Balm by Kate to add moisture and to prime lips for color. Next, she lined Rita’s lips with Rimmel London Exaggerate Lip Liner in Innocent and finished by applying Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in First Class Nude.
EYES & BROWS
The base of Rita’s strong eye was the NEW Rimmel London Magnif’Eyes Palette in London Calling. Kathy applied a matte beige shade to the browbone and a deep bronze to the lid and crease, blending outwards towards the temples. Along the upper and lower lashline, Kathy drew a thin line with Rimmel London Magnif’eyes Double Ended Shadow & Liner in Back to Blacks, smudging it into the lashline. Next, she used the same liner to line the inner rims of the eyes. To lift the outer corners of the eyes, Kathy applied a flick of Rimmel London Colour Precise Eyeliner in Black. To add a touch of bronze to the lower lash line, she applied Rimmel London ScandalEyes Shadow Stick in Bad Bronze. Finally, Kathy finished Rita’s eyes by applying a few coats of Rimmel London ScandalEyes Mascara in Black to upper and lower lashes.
Kathy enhanced Rita’s brows by applying Rimmel London Brow This Way Brow Sculpting Kit in Blonde, brushing her brows into place, filling and shaping them.

When you think of sandals, you may only envision wearing them at the beach in summertime. But these shoes come in many styles, and you can wear them throughout the year. From beautiful bohemian-style barefoot sandals to heavy-duty slip-ons, there really is a sandal for every occasion. Read on to learn how to wear sandals all year round.
Spring Garden Party
You may not think of sandals for spring, but you can make it work. If you will be outside on a nice spring day for a picnic in the garden or a park, mud will be your main concern. Choose medium-toned sandals to keep them looking nice even if they get a little dirty. Platform sandals can help keep your feet clean even if you do happen to sink into some mud along the way.
Summer Wedding
When wearing sandals to a formal daytime event, choose a conservative pair. Go with either patent leather uppers or canvas in a subdued color that coordinates with your outfit – leave the flip-flops, gladiators, and sports sandals at home. Choose your heel height based on the location of your event. If you’ll be outdoors walking on grass, keep your heels low and chunky to make walking safer. If you will be indoors or in a paved area, you can go with a higher heel.
Formal Evening Event
While dressing for a formal evening events tends to be conservative, you can break that rule with your footwear. As long as they’re not the kind of sandals specifically designed for comfort, you can wear almost any type that matches your ensemble. High or low heeled, jewel-encrusted or black patent leather, your shoes are the place to let a little of your personality shine through.
Beach Barbecue
For a super-casual outdoor event, try replacing the usual flip-flop with a pair of barefoot sandals. These trendy “shoes” consist of an anklet with an attached toe ring, and usually do not have soles at all. They are more decorative than functional and come in a wide array of styles that feature beads, metal chains, stones, and lace.
Fall Back-To-School
When the weather starts to turn cool and students return to campuses around the world, it’s time to break out the heavier duty slip-on sandals. Often featuring a leather upper with thick straps and a thick treadeded sole, this style of sandal is meant for walking. To keep your toes warm in the late fall, add a pair of wool socks to complete this cozy look.
Casual Work Event
You don’t often think of wearing sandals to work events, but it can be done as long as you keep a few points in mind. Your heel height should be on the low end and the less strappy your sandals the better. Choose a sandal in a neutral color like beige, white, or black, with either a natural or a natural-looking upper.
Sunday Brunch
Depending on your circle of friends, “Sunday Brunch” could be an ultra-casual affair or an all-out glam fest. But in either case, since you will be among friends, this is an occasion where almost anything goes as far as fashion and footwear. If you will be joining friends at home for pancakes in your pajamas, then feel free to slip on your flip-flops or any other comfy sandal, as long as they are clean and in reasonably good condition. For brunch at a restaurant, you can still keep your footwear comfy and casual.
Outdoor Winter Festival
Sandals in the snow? It can be done. Reach for those heavy-duty slip-on sandals again. You need a pair with a good tread to prevent you from slipping on the ice, a reasonably deep footbed to help keep your feet dry, and adjustable straps to help accommodate a pair or two of thick socks to keep your feet warm. You probably shouldn’t be jumping into snowbanks in your sandals, but you can navigate shoveled sidewalks just fine.
So as you can see, sandals aren’t just for summer days at the beach, although that is a great opportunity to break out your favorite casual pair. Sandals can be worn for formal events as long as they are conservative in color, and they can carry you through the fall and winter provided you’ve got a heavy-duty pair that can accommodate some warm socks. So mix up your footwear choices and wear a pair of sandals to your next big social event.
