Shoppers Say This Multifunctional Cleansing Balm & Makeup Remover Is A Total ‘Game Changer’—Here’s How

After getting home from a long day of work, the last thing you want to do is remove your makeup and wash your face. It can sometimes become a monotonous task that almost feels like a burden. But it doesn’t have to feel that way, especially when you can skip a few steps and use just one item to scrub off your makeup and double cleanse. Let us bring you in on a secret to saving time, energy, and money when you’re tired AF and can’t be bothered to walk through your entire skincare routine: Youth To The People’s new Superberry Dream Cleansing Balm.

This multifunctional formula quickly removes layers of makeup and sunscreen from your skin, without stripping it dry. Because while it is an effective makeup remover, it also functions as a cleansing balm and can remove excess oils and impurities. This is probably why shoppers call it a “game changer.”

“My skin has felt more vibrant, soft, and youthful in the mornings, and I cannot recommend this product enough!” wrote one reviewer.

This cleansing balm works like magic by gently taking off all your makeup while still providing a bunch of skin benefits. A blend of moringa, jojoba, and sunflower seed oils melts away your makeup and sunscreen, but they’re also packed with omegas, antioxidants, and vitamins, so they won’t strip your skin of moisture. They also level your oil production and smooth your complexion. 

Another group of ingredients, superberry extracts, are enriched with lots of antioxidants to protect your skin from damage. These magical maqui, acai, and goji berries join forces with oil-soluble hyaluronic acid to deliver hydration deep into your skin. 

The formula has a ton of natural ingredients that cleanse and moisturize your complexion, without leaving it feeling greasy. It’s also gentle enough for those with sensitive skin and is safe to use around the eyes.

Using it is simple, too. With dry hands, rub the balm onto your dry skin. You’ll notice the texture will feel more like an oil. Then, splash some water onto your hands and keep massaging the product into your skin as it transforms into a milky cleanser. You can use this balm on its own or as part of your double cleanse.

Several reviewers, like this one, had never used a cleansing balm before, but said that this formula turned them into believers. “This is going to save me so much money on face wash, as I was double or triple cleansing to get all my makeup off,” they wrote. “I highly recommend, and will be purchasing again!” 

You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain from this multifunctional cleansing balm. So, why not give it a chance?

5 Reasons You Should Be Watching Stranger Things… Again

stranger things

I still remember viewing the first season of Stranger Things in 2016. I was babysitting a guinea pig named Mindy and we crushed all 8 episodes in a few nights. I was hooked. As you are, am I right?

After all, season three of Stranger Things is Netflix’s most-watched original series ever, with more than 40 million accounts tuning in…

No?

Well, if you haven’t stopped by Hawkins yet because you think this is a show about kids for kids (like my girlfriend in Japan, until she stayed up until 3 am to finish the series and was late for work the next day) here are 5 compelling reasons to join the gang:

It’s Set in the 80s

If I go there will be trouble

If I stay it will be double

So you gotta let me know

Should I stay or should I go?

—The Clash

Stranger Things, created and directed by the Duffer brothers, is a love letter to this totally tubular decade. I was in my 20s then, but the world and all the movies it references – ET, Stand By Me, The Neverending Story – still feel so close. The clothing, the lingo, the innocence of kids in middle school fighting supernatural forces is so accurate… you feel like you’re back in a Spielberg film. But it’s not just a Poltergeist subdivision this time, it’s an entire town that has been co-opted by evil, human and otherwise.

Rad!

Everything is so familiar, like the 80s were a few days – not decades! – ago. I’m physically 59 but emotionally and energetically 24. This was my time. Maybe you have equally wonderful memories?

Even if you don’t, it’s a cool trip down nostalgia lane.

Joyce Is Mama Bear Supreme

“Don’t you dare patronize me!”

Full disclosure: the first time I watched season one, Joyce’s constant tears and wailing really irritated me. I kept thinking: Winona girl, dial it WAY back. Honestly, it was distracting.

However, having rewatched the series several times, I barely notice her histrionics, but I am riveted by her unrelenting determination to find her son Will. And she doesn’t give a sh*t about what anyone else thinks.

Without giving up too much of the plot, she follows her instincts as things get more and more fantastical. When presented with “undeniable facts,” she refuses to cave in but instead, blazes with maternal certainty. She KNOWS her son is alive and trapped and she KNOWS only she can rescue him. If you’re not helping her, then get the hell out of her way.

LOVE!

Fingers crossed, I’d be able to Joyce my way through a similar situation… like if Vancouver suddenly developed an alternate universe that was grabbing 31-year-old sons. #dontevengothere

The Kids Can Act!

“Friends don’t lie.”

While I’ve read the entire Harry Potter series 6 or 7 times, I’ve never watched more than a few scenes of the first movie… with mounting horror at the “acting.” I get that they had to match the iconic characters but come on! The performances were so wooden I expected actual splinters to fly out from the screen.

No, thank you. I will not have my reading pleasure ruined by visions of awkward line readings dancing in my head.

But with Stranger Things, there are no children pretending to be actors, there are only young actors, smaller in size but actors nonetheless. Adorable nerds, the range of high school teenager types, a mystery girl… all of them are embodied by professionals. You’re never taken out of the story.

No spoilers here but bonus points for the quirky pairings that form throughout the 3 seasons as easy as “four puffs of the Farrah Fawcett spray…”

You’re Immersed in the Storyline

“We’re talking about the destruction of our world as we know it.”

While I do have the cinematic taste of a preteen boy and have watched all 23 entries in the MCU, you don’t have to be into action or fantasy to become drawn into what’s really happening in Hawkins. There IS scary but for me, it’s nicely removed from the likely into the probably not.

Stranger Things not only establishes a paranormal premise but grounds it in the historically plausible – LSD and mind control experiments in the 60s, anyone?

I love being transported not just into this era but this version of a cursed fictional town in the 80s. The best storytelling is completely believable once you allow yourself the lens of “what if…”

Equality – but Actually the Girls Win

“There’s more to life than stupid boys.”

I LOVE how the female characters carry and advance story lines, kick ass and take names. Joyce will not give up, neither will Nancy or the mystery girl… whose strength is more than just internal. Sorry, I’m trying to give you an idea without ruining any plot points but they are AWESOME.

Not that the boyz are lacking. They’re just not front and center, being the “heroes” and rescuing the helpless girls. I think we’re all pretty much over that lazy POV.

To me, the fact that the Duffer brothers created a world that is soaked with supernatural and government evil is not as impressive as how they wrote their female protagonists throughout the series. #justsaying #kudos

Conclusion

In these times of Netflix binging, Stranger Things is a bona fide repeat contender. Come for the 80s vibe; stay for the writing and the acting.

Compared to what’s really going on in the world right now, Hawkins is a breath of faux scary air.

Have you visited Hawkins yet? What’s stopping you? And if you have, who do you love the most?? What was your most heart-breaking scene? (That’s a pretty easy call to me.) And who is your favourite pairing? (Also a no brainer to me.)

Let’s Crush the Prejudices About Fashion for Older Women

Susan Sarandon - glamour fashion after 60

There are an increasing number of older women crushing today’s prejudices about their lack of style.

As an inspiration for this piece, I’ve turned to style icons such as Sophia Loren and Susan Sarandon that show how maturity gives a whole different tone to the concept of glamour. Maturity leaves an impression of sophistication, confidence, and elegance.

Here are ways you can incorporate glamour into your everyday look.

Self-care and Signature Looks

Glamorous women always enhance their best assets, which makes their style unique and recognizable. Start with your hair: is the color flattering you? If you have completely gray hair, you don’t necessarily have to dye it: You can make it a part of your signature look. What about the cut? You don’t have to wear it short if you don’t want to!

In addition to right fashion pieces, hairstyles are the easiest way to make a statement. Just think about Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue. She has been wearing her bob with bangs for years now and it’s not at all boring. It has become her signature look that contributes to her overall glamour.

Carefully Selected Jewelry

If you look at Susan Sarandon or the nearly sixty Julianne Moore, you will notice that their styles are balanced and simple, but always with some sort of statement piece that brings their looks from plain to glamorous.

Imagine a simple all-black combination with just a pair of sparkling earrings or a necklace. It is a wallet-friendly no-fuss look that is age appropriate, but not boring. Pieces from stores like Target, 7 Charming Sisters and Zara have a wide offer of exactly the type of accessories which will make you look so glamorous!

If your outfit is in earthly tones, don’t be afraid to incorporate a bit of color through the choice of your necklace for a chic look. Stick with all-silver or faux precious stones if you want a more classic glamour look. The devil’s in the details: Consider a brooch to break the dullness of the outfit.

Outfits That Bring Out the Best in You

Well-fitted clothes are the key to looking polished. You can stick with monochromatic pieces if you love the minimalistic look and then enrich it with eye-catching details. Choose quality fabrics that will provide you with a dash of luxury. For example, nice high-waist trousers in a shade of tan, a thin beige belt, and a simple tucked in shirt within the same color range. Then choose eye-catching pointy flats (like patent leather in shade of burgundy) and a black structured bag.

Depending on your preferences and temperament, you can choose patterned footwear or even subtle animal prints. Another way to add a bit of life to your look is by choosing a silky scarf you can wear in many different ways.

Use Makeup to Enhance Your Beauty

To draw attention to your eyes, use an eye pencil rather than liquid eyeliner to avoid smudges. Add a bit of a definition to your eyes this way and apply a coat of mascara. When it comes to the choice of foundation, blush, and lipstick – stick with the neutral shades for a classy look.

With just a bit of effort, everyone can add a dose of glamour to their everyday look.

How do you add glamour to your everyday look? What words would you use to describe your style? Is your style simple and elegant or a bit more bohemian? What other questions do you have about fashion for older women? Share your glamour tips in the comments.
