It's The Motley Girl

Hey, beautiful! Are you 40 and fabulous—and still obsessed with all things beauty?

Welcome to my little corner of YouTube! I’m Desiree (aka The Motley Girl), and around here, we keep beauty fun, simple especially for us women 40 and up.

If you love easy makeup tutorials, honest natural hair product reviews, and skincare tips that actually work for mature skin, you’re in the right place.

I’ve been natural for over 13 years, so trust me when I say I’ve mastered the wash n go that never misses. I’m all about sharing my go-to products and styling tips to help you get those curls POPPIN!

Oh, and since the 40s come with a few “surprises” (hello, skin changes), I’m sharing what’s been working for me—and what’s not—so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

So go ahead and subscribe and let’s navigate this beauty thing together.

And don’t forget to follow me everywhere @themotleygirl for more tips, laughs, and inspo.
