Makeup Trends for this Winter 2010-2011






v Number #1 in that winter 2010-2011 is Smokey eyes in so many different versions, could be bi-color version, but make sure you keep the severe tone using darker shades of brown, golden and taupe. Also pair black and gray, golden brown, or gray and blue.

v You are allowed to use lighter eye shadow on the entire top eyelid, even going up towards the brown. Try to keep your makeup as simple as possible, than use mascara or eyeliner.

v When it comes to eyebrows this session keep them as natural as possible, when it comes to the shape or color. Good choice will be eyebrow pencil with a creamy texture in order to add a slightly healthy glowing.

v Lips are so red and hot this winter. You can be more sexy and elegant touch to your overall look.

v Makeup foundation colors tend to remain same from season-to-season. But still, each person brings about a new texture to explore. Heavy winters often inspire a matte, powder look that is absolute opposite of sheer looks of summer.

My favorite will be Bare Minerals foundation kits that match skin tones and easy to use.

My favorite Makeup for the whole year







The Bare Mineral "Magic" Make up offers a very much finer texture that other mineral powder,
which gives the foundation a smooth, matte finish. What impressed me that most is that make up stays on until you take it off.
Why I choose this Bare Mineral Foundation Makeup?
First of all because pure minerals, with only four or five natural ingredients like: Titanium Dioxide, Mica, Iron Oxids, Zinx Oxids. This product are without any: talc, fragrance, oil, and preservatives, which are good alternative for those who have sensitive skin.

Anti Aging Products- How to pick the right one


Some products state that they prevent and reverse the signs of aging, other claim to firm, smooth, and lift the skin, and there are plenty that guarantee they stimulate collagen and diminish wrinkles. Anti aging products do fill our heads with promises. There are thousands to pick, but are pocket and are budget have a limit to spend. How can you choose between them, and which ingredients actually might work? So let’s solve that problem with some four rules to remember:

  1. The best way to prevent anti aging and number #1 is sunscreen

Sun protection is the best antiaging product you have and the best investment you can make. Ninety percent of cosmetic skin problems that occur with age( wrinkles. Sagging, hyperpigmentation) are caused by sun exposure, according to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. There is waste of money and no point in buying all kinds of antiaging products to repair damage, if you don’t use sunscreen every day. Most cosmeceutical ingredients try to mimic substances found in the body, such as antioxidants, peptides, growth factors, coenzymes, vitamins.

So protecting what we already have naturally and maintaining optimal skin health with daily sun protection and moisturizer is worth a thousand anti aging beauty solution.

  1. Try to read product labels very closely.

In the label must list ingredients from the highest concentration to the lowest, so if the anti aging element you’re looking for is near the bottom, there’s not enough in the product to do anything. (But remember keep in mind; a high concentration of the chemical is one way to get it into the skin). Most of the ingredients on the label- are the water, moisturizer, binders, and preservatives that make up the vehicle. Often and antiaging product includes silicone to provide a smooth texture to the product and make the complexion look smoother too. It may also contain a little glycolic acid or lactic acid to exfoliate the skin and provide instant gratification. But make sure that the ANTIOXIDANT or PEPTIDE you’re buying is very near the top of the ingredients list.

  1. When you choose your anti aging ingredients wisely.

Better hope or pretend that all these cosmeceuticals works. With so many new ingredients promising to fix so many problems, how should you decide among them?

Is a prescription RETINOID safe, or should you try an over-the-counter version first?

But first is step back ladies look at your skin and consider what product you already own: a moisturizer? A chemical exfoliate or a scrub? Next check to see if your moisturizer already contains an antioxidant or one of the ingredients I’ll discuss soon.

You may have been using an antiaging product for some time without even knowing it.

Then ask yourself what you are trying to achieve with a cosmeceutical. Are you in your twenties and looking for a preventive product? An antioxidant is a good bet. Do you want to fight wrinkles? Then something with RETINOIC ACID will work. If brown spots and uneven skin tone are your problem, you can use retinoic acid or try a product with NIACINAMIDE. Narrow down what it is about your complexion you want to improve, and that will help narrow down your options.

Taking care of your skin is like caring for a garden, which needs a certain amount of water, nutrients, soil, and sunshine to grow and be healthy. But if you overfeed or over water it, the garden is destroyed, in the same way, putting too much of a good thing on your skin is not necessarily better or more effective. The worst thing is people complaining they have some red, irritated skin and show me twenty different brands products that they use on it. How do all these ingredients react with one another? Are they overlapping the same kinds of chemicals, such as acids, over and over again?

Try to pick one or two active ingredients- an antioxidant and retinoid for instance and stick with them for at least THREE MONTS. Switching from one ingredient to another within a span of a couple of weeks for example: a niacin amide product, then a kojic acid, then an azeleic acid to get rid of brown spots.

4. Research products, and learn the difference between miracle and marketing.

Remember you have to do your homework on ingredients, and think logically about their claims. For instance, exciting ingredients claims to stimulate the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and increase the storage of moisture in the dermis.

This chemical has a cool, scientific name and sounds like an amazing discovery, yet it’s simply a plant-derived form of a sugar molecules like the GAGs. Again, the manufacturer’s tests are proprietary, and most products containing the ingredients also include hyaluronic acid, superior humectants. So it’s hard to say which one is responsible for any water retention results in the skin. A little sleuthing online can tell you what a hot new ingredient actually is and if the clinical studies behind it are for real.

Most of these ingredients aren’t really under the jurisdiction of a dermatologist. Traditional medical training has nothing to do with a popular antioxidant like CoffeBerry, or and ingredient like rare, Japanese whether these things provide substantial results or not. My expertise and research so far tree things have been proven to work as anti-aging:

SUNSCREEN, MOISTURIZER, AND RETINOIC ACID.

I hope my writing will help you to find the right products, but if you have more question always you can write to me, and I will try to answer the fast is I can. So have a good shopping.

Perfect Facial treatment for Mature or Aging Skin



Dry skin is often due to the natural aging of the body. As a person advances in years, the body’s processes slow down and cells are not replaced as rapidly as they were when the person was younger. It is not difficult to diagnose aging skin, but skin ages at different rates due to the following factors:

  1. The skin ages due to neglect and the external treatment it has received.
  2. Exposure to too much sun, wind, salt water, or polluted air will hasten the aging process.
  3. Physiological disease, ill health, and psychological (emotional) problems can cause the skin to appear older.
  4. Extreme weight loss can result in loss of muscle tone and lined and sagging skin, which in turn gives the skin an aged appearance.
  5. Medications, lack of proper diet, and the misuse of alcoholic beverages and smoking may affect the appearance of the skin.

The mature skin can be improved but the natural aging process cannot be reversed, not the skin restored to the same vital condition of youth. I always advise my client’s that treatments can bake the skin look and feel better, but there are no miracle treatments that restore aging skin. Cosmetic (plastic) surgery or skin refining, along with proper salon treatments (and the enhancement of make-up) may help to achieve the desired results.

The Elasticity of the skin

Aging skin will often lack elasticity. Also I tested skin elasticity by taking a small section of the facial skin or neck between the thumb and forefinger and giving the skin a slight outward pull. When the skin is released, and if the elasticity is good, the skin will immediately return to its normal shape. If the skin is slow to resume its normal shape, it is lacking elasticity.

Aging or sun-damaged skin needs antioxidants topically and orally. Antioxidants such as vitamins C, E, A minerals, green tea, and grape seed extract are all antioxidants that help protect the body from free radicals. I mentioned on my blog about Antioxidants, so if you want to read more look at my blog. Other beneficial care for aging skin includes protecting the barrier function of the skin and wearing sunscreen. Additionally, alphahydroxy acids can help reverse the signs of sun damage. Hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, sodium PCA, and glycerin all bind water to the skin and I also love and believe RETINOL cosmetics can help you improve your elasticity.

My treatments goals are to hydrate and soften the skin. Stimulating the metabolism and firming the skin are also part of an anti-aging facial. Paraffin mask and massage with a deep penetrating serum and cream are both beneficial in a facial treatment for mature skin. A thermal mask can be used instead of a paraffin to force-feed nutrients into the skin. Firming products can also be effective in visibly tightening the skin.

Facial treatments are wonderful rejuvenator for clients with mature, aging, or sun-damage skin.

It’s never to late to start your first Facial treatment, you will feel fresh, younger, relaxed, what else do you need?

How to get Soft and Smooth Skin


I always want to share with you my personal experience and my favorite products for your skin. You don’t need to spend so much money at a spa to get soft skin. All you need is a few inexpensive items that you can get from your local Target, or Walmart store, to do your own skin beauty treatment at home.

Here are few tips to help you have smooth and soft skin and you will feel like a Queen.

Step 1 Watch the temperature

Too hot water can drastically dry out your skin. Take a warm shower and use a mild, unscented, moisturizing body cleanser, such an Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash ($6.99) or Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash ($7.99). Yes, we love hot showers, too… but seriously ladies it’d be better for your skin to get used to warm water.

Step 2 Exfoliate

You slough off some dead skin cells with your usual cleanser and a sponge or loofah, but if ashy skin is a big problem, try an exfoliating products such as Soft-soap Body Butter Coconut Scrub ($3.50), Amazon Forest Mango Body Scrub ($9.99). If you have sensitive skin, choose one that contains soft, synthetic beads instead (look for polyethylene beads in the ingredient list). Try to keep scrub-downs to no more than twice a week, more often can irritate your skin. When you are not exfoliating, use only moisturizing soap to keep your skin moisturized and hydrated.

Step 3 Moisturize.

Try to drink plenty of water. Also try water with a lemon, could be different taste, but extra vitamin C for you body. Healthy hydrated skin start from the inside out.

Drink 6 or 8 glasses of water each day for dewy fresh skin.

Also every time you wash your hands, or even wash the dishes, be sure to use lotion to keep your hands moisturized to prevent drying( my favorite is Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream-$6.99) There is few more products you can like: Cetaphil ($13.99), Shea Butter( $7.99), Eucerin Calming Cream ($8.29)

This time of year you have to give extra care for you feet, by applying heavy peppermint foot cream before bedtime, and then cover them with cotton socks. You will wake with the softest feet you’ve had in a long time. You can also try on your hands.

I hope you will like my advices and if you have your own ideas you can always share with me if you want. Happy fall and winter days for everybody.
