Sleeping with Makeup! The Ultimate Makeup SIN!

In my 7 yrs as a makeup artist, I applied makeup to a countless number of clients and I say I have heard several clients tell me "I sometime's don't wash my face"


Admittedly, I have been guilty of this Makeup Sin myself, however I'm here to tell you there is a solution to night of drinking, dancing, and not so sober nights. I know when you drag in at 3am, 4am, or whatever time you get in from dropping it "LOW" the only thing you want to do is find your pillow and bed.


Well before you do that, reach on your nightstand and grab a Makeup Remover Wipe. I'm not saying this replaces cleansing your face, but it sure does help to prevent breakouts and clogged pores. Not only do they remove surface makeup, Neutrogena Makeup Wipes All-in-One has moisture benefits and doesn't irritate eyes.

Makeup Wipes will save you and give you a good night rest!

Beauty Review: Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion SPF 30

It's been so long since I did a beauty review!
Since then I have bought in to the propaganda that is anti-aging!

Honestly, I don't think it's propaganda. I think it's very serious. Although I am a mid-20 something, I think it's never to early to start.

So in my anti-aging/beauty quest I will be giving some reviews. They will include price/quality/where I bought it and what I think of it.

The first item I will review is Eucerin Daily Protective Moisture Lotion.

First things first, Eucerin is going to have to get better placement. This lotion, bargain priced at $8.49 for 4 fl. oz. at Target,
is kind of lost in the endless abyss of body lotions.

Now to the product: This morning after washing my face, I went to put this product on ( I never leave the house without at least SPF 30 on my face). It went on in true Eucerin fashion, a little thick and took way more rubbing in that my last moisturizer. However, it was not greasy and the sunblock-esque scent went away after it was all rubbed in.

It has worn well under my make-up thus far ( the packaging said "Great alone or under make-up"). I think I'll see this one through to the end.

Wrap up:

Pros: SPF 30 UVA & UVB protection, Price (some of it's counterparts are upward of $15-$20), Amount of product vs. price

Cons: Smell, absorption time

On a scale of one to 10 I would give this product a seven.

Stay tuned as I post more reviews on beauty products!

On this journey fab fact today!

Today we learned about the history of skin. YOUR SKIN IS THE BIGGEST ORGAN!
The one fact I found to be most interesting was during the Renaissance Era.
- Did you know the women practiced shaving and tweezing their eyebrows and hairline. They believed it was a sign of intelligence. So the further back your hairline was shaved the more intelligent you were.
--------------That brings me to our current times and to this point and question--------- So with the latest Lacefront NO NOs I have heard and seen is ladies shaving off their hairline to make it stay stick or what? Do they have the same concept of the Renaissance woman? Do they think they are more intelligent the more hairline they shave in 2009. Just wondering...This is a little known fact I learned today!

Back in school again and love it!
