How to Wear Makeup When You Exercise | April 4, 2012

How to Wear Makeup When You Exercise

Look, we know you wear makeup to the gym. Here’s how to doll yourself up without ending with smeared cheeks and a face full of pimples.

If you don’t select the right products, though, you could wind up looking like a hot mess. Experts agree it’s not advisable to wear makeup while exercising. If it’s not designed to withstand perspiration, it will come off, and when you sweat you create an ideal environment for breakouts (sweat plus makeup equals a breeding ground for zit-causing bacteria).

MAKEUP ADVICE FROM THE PROS:

YouBeauty Cosmetic Chemistry Expert Ni’Kita Wilson says when shopping for cosmetics that can take the … Read More »

Red lips were all the rage at New York Fashion Week and Hollywood continued the trend as A-List actresses wore crimson and classic red shades onto the Red Carpet at this year’s Academy Awards.

Kissable Soft Lips All Winter Long‏ | November 15, 2010

Kissable Soft Lips All Winter Long‏

The health and appearance of your lips is just as important as the health and appearance of your skin. Dry, flaky lips are never good. Before you buy a lip scrub at your local drug store, think of making your own preservative and chemical free version at home. I use a simple & affordable lip scrub made from ingredients right in my kitchen.

1 teaspoon Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Granulated Table Sugar or Brown Sugar
1 small drop of Lemon or Peppermint Extract (optional)
Toothbrush (optional)
Warm Cloth or Paper Towel

Combine olive oil, sugar and extract until they are the consistency of sand. Add small … Read More »

In the Trenches | May 20, 2010

In the Trenches

Burberry is about to become more luxurious (if that’s even possible), with their soon to be launched line of cosmetics. It seems that all design labels have their hands in all cookie jars. And why not? John Fairchild himself said, “fashion is everywhere, it reaches everyone”. Indeed.

However, the creation of the makeup line seemed like the next step according to Christopher Bailey, chief creative officer for Burberry. “It started because I felt that, at shows and the shoots, the whole [Burberry] attitude is epitomized through the shoes, the bags, the clothes, the accessories, but then the face was the one … Read More »

Beginners Guide to Safe Cosmetics | December 14, 2009

Beginners Guide to Safe Cosmetics

Many people know the benefits of using safe cosmetics.  Obviously, when you use something natural, you aren’t exposing yourself to carcinogens, artificial colors, fragrances and ingredients that aren’t good for the reproductive and endocrine system, etc.

However, many natural cosmetic companies seem to teach the “all or nothing” mentality.  For most people, this is intimidating and not realistic.  To think that someone is going to throw out all existing cosmetics and start new with 100% natural products just isn’t going to happen.

The most important thing to know about cosmetics in this day and age is that there is very little regulation … Read More »
