How can I cut back on using so much foundation makeup (alternatives)?
by admin on Mar.27, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
I need a little to cover minor flaws. But I always use alot and it clogs my pores!
Answer :————————
Use a good concealer on little spots, blend it in well then use a mineral powder all over your face to even out your complexion. The bare minerals line works really well at covering flaws and doesn't clog pores! This should feel a lot lighter on your skin then using foundation all over your face.

What's the use of using clear lip liner for?
by admin on Mar.03, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
Soon I'm going to buy a lot of lipsticks from MAC, and we all know how bright they are. I already own one, which is "Russian Red". I'm wondering if using a clear lip liner will work in keeping them looking nice, or should I use a nude lip liner and then the lipstick?
Thanks!

Will using anti-wrinkle creams when you are young prevent or slow the development of wrinkles later?
by admin on Mar.02, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
I am 26 and I don't have any wrinkles at all right now. I use sunscreen on my face everyday (which is a must in central FL because it's sunny every damn day). Would using anti-wrinkle cream help prevent wrinkles and slow the aging process as I get older, or is it a waste of money. Is anti-wrinkle cream only for when you have wrinkles?
Answer :————————
If you start now and use a cleanser every day on your face and neck.followed by a moisturizer.
Twice a week use an exfoliate. (put your cleanser with your exfoliate it will work well and twice as fast)
One time a month use a mask leave on for 10 to 20 minutes and rinse. I would switch off one month for dry skin the next for oily this way your skins p h will get balanced.
Buy a bottle of Witch Hazel after washing your face each day wet a cotton pad with the witch hazel and go over your face.
Your complexion will be Fabulous in two weeks time. Make a commitment to yourself to do this for life. When your sixty like me you will still look as if your in your early 40s..
This is your anti-aging program.
Remember this you Do Not need named brand products to get the job done.
Turn the container over if you do not know the ingredients write them down look them up and if it doesn't say it is going to go into the cell structure and heal and seal don't buy it.
As we age we lose collagen, amino acids elastics and such that keep our skin soft and smooth thus we get dry with fine lines and wrinkles This is where those anti-aging products come in.
They do not stop aging they help slow it down by replacing minerals,vitamins and such.
If you start now you will keep beautiful skin all through your life.
To start everyone keeps bringing up drink more Water, drink more water they are right. Water washes out toxins from the body if you do drink a lot of water and are still dry. Your body is saying I Need more water.
So I hope I have helped a bit. Don't forget you will also need under eye cream to keep that area moist. Don't wear to much eye shadow as the powder will suck up the oils of the lid and your eye lids will be wrinkled by the time your 35.
Good Luck
Using Neutrogena Facial Cleanser everyday or every other day?
by admin on Feb.20, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
I asked a different question earlier, but made a decision based on an answer I got. So because of this, leads me to a new question. I have been using Neutrogena Deep Clean (normal to oily skin) cleanser along with the Combination Skin Moisturizer every other day, both morning and night. However, I have gotten back into using makeup. Sometimes I wear foundation but mostly I just wear pressed powder (with a concealer every once in a while.) Anyway, I recently bought the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes to help remove makeup. Even though normally I just remove it with my cleanser, it still manages to leave just a tad behind. because of my makeup use, I guess I will have to start using my cleanser everyday now (or whenever I'm wearing my makeup.) would this be harmful? I have sensitive skin, and the reason I cleanse every other day was because when I first started using it, which was everyday at first, it dried a certain area of my skin out along with a little irritation. Even tho the bottle says that it's normal when you first start out, I'm still a little concerned although my face seems to be very used to the cleanser now and works great. Also, will it bother your skin if you use both the makeup towelette following the cleanser because of the different ingredients?
Answer :————————
You can use it everyday. I wear makeup and use my nuetrogena acne wash and it removes all my makeup. The only thing I remove b4 washing is my eye makeup. I use a eye makeup remover.

Ladies, would you recommend using Bare Minerals foundation?
by admin on Feb.02, 2010, under Makeup Q & A
My mom just got me some foundation from Bare Minerals. I haven't used it yet and I was wondering if anyone has anything good or bad to say about using Bare Minerals makeup.
Answer :————————
Yes! I used it forever! It's amazing. Just don't use too much or you fell look powdery. It's a really great product. If you have oily skin I suggest you try the matte formula. It has better coverage.

Getting Your Jewelry to Shine
by admin on Jan.30, 2010, under Womens Interest
Cleaning jewelry at home can be done. There are professional things to try and even some home remedies. Each piece of jewelry might have to be cleaned differently as to not ruin it. There are some tips to follow and some advice for follow for common problems when cleaning it.
Cleaning your jewelry will make you feel better. You might have more jewelry at home then you think. Over the years it is common to collect it and store it in a special box. Often people forget exactly what they have. A great thing to do on a rainy day is to look through your jewelry box to see what you have and polish it up. There might be some old necklaces or pearls that you could wear again.
To make your jewelry sparkle and shine again there are a few things you can do. The first involves using a soft cloth or piece of felt. You can try rubbing the items using these cloths to see how much dirt comes off. When that is done, you can wipe them with warm water.
A non abrasive cleaner can be used after you have washed the jewelry using warm water. You simply wipe on the product and then wipe dry. It is noted that some items cannot be cleaned using non abrasive items due to the fact that it might scratch them. These pieces include; emeralds, rubies, coral and turquoise.
Gemstones can be stained from constant perfume use, cosmetics and perspiration marks. It is important to keep these stones cleaned using a cloth. Paper towel use to clean jewelry can leave jewels with scratches.
Gold can be cleaned by using a soft brush and warm water. The water can have a mix of detergents as long as they are fragrance free. Silver involves lots of cleaning. It is often a metal that tarnishes quickly. Simply keeping it wiped with a soft cloth might help it to last longer before cleaning.
Pearls can be cleaned only by using a soft cloth. Anything else will scratch them. Pearls cannot be stored near gold or some types of gemstones as it can discoloration the pearls.
There are also some home remedies to try. Some people use natural solutions to clean jewelry and swear by their effectiveness. One idea is to clean it in cooled down potato water. Another claim is to use a tooth brush and paste, although some experts claim that the brush and the paste will not do any good but actually harm the items. Another idea is to soak it in salt, baking soda and water for a few minutes and then remove and rinse. While these ideas might work for some types of jewelry it is advised to use your own caution.
Getting jewelry to sparkle again can take some work. It all looks good at first in the store under those flashy lights, but when you get them home and wear them for a bit, suddenly the color isn`t as bright, diamonds look dull and silver tarnishes. When this happens we struggle to find cleaning answers so that we can fix the problem. However, it is important to note that all types of jewelry clean in different ways. The best thing to do is to prevent it from becoming really dirty by maintaining them with a soft cloth regularly.
