The British retailer Debenhams revealed in a press release that the average British women’s cosmetic bag is out of date by a worrying 4 years. This is rather concerning because beauty essentials such as, women’s perfume, foundation, blush, mascara, lipstick, eye shadow and liner, and concealer all have a “period after opening” indicator with the number of months of safe use. Make up, perfume and skin care products carry a risk of irritation and infection. Women’s perfume and men’s cologne, when kept to long will lose it’s scent strength.
Your eyes are the one area on your face that you should be very careful with, eye infections can be very painful and long lasting. So to protect yourself, wash your cosmetic brushes and sponges weekly, sponges are perfect for carrying bacteria when kept to long and not washed. Replace make up and such regularly, before expiration date and never share your make up, especially eye shadow, liner and mascara, due to cross contamination and always wash your make up off before going to bed. It is always better to be safe then sorry.
Have you ever noticed that the majority of the women you run into wear makeup? So, stop and try to remember how many of these women really know how to apply their makeup? I have taken notice lately and I have to say alot of them wear it to thick or maybe to light or some just need to change the makeup that they use.
I have found that clinique makeup carries the best line of makeup for my skin type, which is rather oily. The biggest mistake that I see women make is the way that they blend their makeup. Some don’t, that is the first thing that I notice when I put on my makeup, it is not necessary for people to know you are wearing it because they see the line where your makeup stops, blend it in, that way we know your wearing it because it looks natural. I can’t say it enough, blend, blend and blend.
I can remember as a child watching my mom put on Helena Rubinstein makeup and I always admired how pretty she was. Now as an adult I’ve wondered why Helena Rubinstein? So I did some checking and found her life to be very interesting.
Helena was born in 1870 Cracow, Poland and in 1888 she moved to Melbourne, within 2 years her reputation was secure. In 1915 her family moved to the United States where American women were reluctant to accept facial make up. However, after little more then a year 1 salon wouldn’t do so she opened 7 more, 2 of which were in Canada.
In 1964 she was burglarized, tied to a chair and threatened, and still refused to tell them where the key to her safe was and the robbers left empty handed. Princess Gourielli – Madame Helena Rubinstein died of natural causes in a New York hospital on April1, 1965 at the age of 94.
