Interview: Kameron Westcott of The Real Housewives of Dallas

If I had to describe last night’s episode of Closet Confessions with Real Housewives of Dallas star Kameron Westcott in three words they would be OH EM GEE! Whether we were getting a look inside of her new, gorgeous closet, drooling over her Hermes croc or getting the scoop on her beauty products (spoiler alert: we’ve got exact shades for you), it was one for the books.

If you joined us, as promised, below is the rundown of products Kameron mentioned that we all totally want to shop. If you didn’t, check it out below or on our YouTube channel!

Also, since Kameron and I both live in Texas we discussed people/organizations that are providing support for those still suffering from the aftermath of the recent storms here. Please visit @ATasteOfKoko (via Lauren) , @operationkindness and @earstexas (via Kameron) to learn how you can help.

Melissa Gorga’s Blue Velvet Dress on WWHL

Melissa Gorga’s Blue Velvet Dress on WWHL

Watch What Happens Live Fashion February 24, 2021

I say it at the start of every damn season, but Melissa Gorga just gets better than age. If I could pick one Real Housewife to look like, Melissa would be at the top of my list. I think of her evvvverrrrytime I think about what I want to look like when I turn 40 (in exactly 1 year and 30 days, not that I’m keeping track). And since that’s the case, I think I’d better go hit the gym while you shop her perfect, in-stock, blue velvet dress from last night’s episode of Watch What Happens Live.

This Innovative App Is Like Shazam For Lipstick & It Really Works

Do you ever look at a dress or a top you’re wearing and think, this would make an incredible lipstick color. Maybe it’s something a little more random, like the pink color of your sofa or the brown of your coffee table. Well, now you can find the closest Chanel lipstick color with just the click of your phone. Chanel Lipscanner, the brand’s newest makeup app, uses AI technology to find the closest match and let me tell you, it actually works.

The app is free and allows you to Shazam any color you see to match it to one of Chanel Beauty’s 400 lipstick colors. I used to be obsessed with the Shazam app, always trying to the exact song I was hearing at the grocery store. As a makeup obsessive, this is going to be a lot more fun.

After you simply point and click, taking a photo of truly anything, the app connects you with the closest Chanel lipstick shade. Then, you can try it on right in the app before making your purchase. Chanel makeup isn’t cheap so this is a great way to ensure it’s the color you’re dreaming of before you add it to your cart.

I snapped a few photos of my handbags and found my favorite red crossbody bag matches really closely to Rouge Coco in Coco. It’s really fun to play around with. But hey, if you’re just in the mood to shop some new lipstick shades, check out a few of my favorites, below.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

Affordable Eyeshadow Palettes That Outperform Their High-End Counterparts

Back in the day, eyeshadow palettes (at least, for me) felt like a major splurge, because not only were they almost exclusively offered by high-end labels, but also because they just weren’t as popular and widely available at all a decade or so ago. I would personally argue that Urban Decay’s ubiquitous Naked palette was at least in part, responsible for putting palettes on the map. Fortunately, affordable and drugstore labels have finally caught up with prestige brand’s expansive offerings in the category, and it’s become pretty easy to score a quality palette on par with pricier options. Affordable eyeshadow palettes have become more and more impressive, making it so much less guilt-inducing to have a few of them on hand in your current makeup lineup. Not only are the formulas blendable, long-lasting and pigmented, but the shade selections are also highly nuanced and innovative, meaning you won’t be stuck with a few everyday muted taupe and basic brown hues to play with.

And while I’m personally totally okay with putting with less-than-stellar packaging if it means the product’s formula is superb, the drugstore palettes highlighted below happen to deliver in both arenas (which is a major plus if you’re a frequent traveler or a bit on the accident-prone side of the spectrum).

60 and Wondering What to Do with Your Life? Start a Blog!

how to start a blog after 60

How many blogs do you read in an average week? Have you ever wondered whether you should start a blog of your own?

I can help you answer that question with a resounding, “Yes!”

There are blogs about every conceivable topic. You can find blogs dedicated to everything from ant farming to Zumba!

Why Blog?

There are many motivations for blogging.

To Share an Interest

Some bloggers are passionate about a topic and want to share their enthusiasm. For example, craft bloggers can share their projects with others and receive great satisfaction from doing so.

To Teach a Topic

There are blogs to teach every conceivable skill, from electric guitar to how to give a business presentation. If you have a dormant teacher inside of you yearning to share whatever it is you know, start a blog.

To Provide Encouragement

Have you encountered and endured some life difficulty? One sure way to redeem pain is to use it to encourage others.

You can find blogs about surviving cancer, raising difficult children, and bouncing back from bankruptcy. What life experience do you have that you can use to provide encouragement to others?

To Tell Your Story

Want to write your memoir, share your travel adventures, blog about your lifelong career in teaching? Writing a blog can be a perfect vehicle for this!

To Make Money

Some bloggers make a business out of their blog and are able to earn an income. We have all visited fashion or home improvement blogs that feature products and services for sale.

Do you see yourself in any of these categories? You might be a perfect candidate for blogging!

How Do I Get Started?

It is very easy to succumb to blog envy. There are so many beautiful, professionally designed blogs out there and trying to reach that ideal can be discouraging, and maybe even stop you from trying.

It is valuable to study and enjoy the work of others, but don’t let that stop you from dipping your toe into the blogging water!

You can get started with a simple blog, for free, and spiff it up as you grow – if you choose to grow!

What Do I Do?

Blogs live on the Internet. They have an address, called a URL, like www.sixtyandme.com.

Then the blog functions on a platform, the most popular being WordPress.

You can start a blog for free on wordpress.com or blogger.com. These sites will give you free hosting. You can sign up, provide limited customization to your URL, pick a free theme, and start blogging!

If you want more control over the design and capability of your site, you need to educate yourself. You will need to purchase a URL (your own web address) and hosting, then use a free or custom theme.

If it seems like a lot, it can be. If you merely want to try this out, take the free route and see if you like it. You can always upgrade and shift things around later.

How Do I Learn More?

If you google the phrase, “How to start a blog,” you will be amazed at the number of free resources available out there. Some are free offers that may invite you to join a course later.

Like anything else on the Internet, some resources are really good, others – not so much.

My personal advice is to spend some time looking around and find a few successful bloggers you might like to follow. If you try to follow everyone, you will become overwhelmed! Trust me, I speak from experience. Pick a few and read all their stuff – then take action!

If you get completely captivated by blogging, as I have, and want to up your game, the Elite Blog Academy is the Cadillac of blogger education.

I wouldn’t take this course as my first blogging course, but if you are already on the blogging path and want to significantly up your game, there is no better course.

I took the EBA course a few years ago and thanks to it have grown a significant mailing list and generate increasing affiliate commissions. It was well worth my time and investment.

So, what are you waiting for? Want to share your knowledge, your words, your encouragement? Are you interested in jumping in full speed and building a business?

Blogging is the perfect way to do it!

How many blogs do you follow? What is your experience with blogging? Do you think you have something to say to the world? Would you consider blogging a possible means to share your voice? Let’s have a discussion in the comments below!
