Cosmetic Makeup Brushes: Uses and Purposes

We love this video as it really provides alot of useful information on what are the best cosmetic makeup brushes to use.  This pretty young lady goes into great detail about the benefits and features of many different brushes

that need to be used to achieve the glow of correctly applied makeup.  Watch this short seven minute video and see how much you did not know about the correct brushes that should be used.

What I like about this video is that she is NOT an expert and that she speaks from experience.  This is a great video and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Jane Iredale and Protection From The Sun

With nearly 500,000 new cases of skin cancer yearly, growing awareness of sun exposure has led to advances in sun protection.

The sun produces two types of ultraviolet radiation that affect the skin. UVB, also know as the burning ray, is the shorter wavelength and is more damaging. UVA, the aging ray, is longer and is damaging to the skin as well.

There are two main types of sunscreen: physical and chemical. Physical sunscreens, which are less irritating, work by reflecting or blocking the sun’s rays. Chemical sunscreens absorb the ultraviolet rays. Most sunscreens today contain both, known as broad spectrum sunscreen.

A sunscreen’s SPF (Sun Protection Factor) indicates how long someone can stay out in the sun without burning. A sunscreen with an SPF of 15 lets you stay out in the sun 15 times longer than without sunscreen.

This is really neat stuff because it provides protection from the sun by simply putting on mineral powder.  Not everyone knows that Dermstore can supply you with protection from the sun by using a chemical-free powder

sunscreen for your face and body.  For once a person can get UV protection without having to rub a liquid all over your skin.  By applying Powder-Me Foundation you will be providing your body with SPF 30 protection…in a powder form.

It also contains titanium dioxide and a nourishing natural clay.  It can be provided before you go into the sun or it can be used to soothe inflammation after being in the sun.  Either way it is great stuff.  Also you can get in in translucent and tanned.  It is really great stuff!  The applicator makes it even better…just watch the video and you will see what I mean!

Jane Iredale Powder-Me SPF is an easy-to-use mineral powder sunscreen.

The Story of Cosmetics (Video and Rebuttal)

We have provided these videos because we thought they needed to be here. The reason why we think it needs to be here is because the world is full of many organizations that just want to mislead you and then take your money all the while you think you are not only saving yourself, but also saving the world. We want you to listen to the outrageous claims concerning cosmetics and chemicals and how you will be killed by using them. Watch the top video and then watch the bottom one to hear the rebuttal. We will let you decide which one holds the most authority as being true.


This is a Critique of, “The Story of Cosmetics,” by Annie Leonard. We feel as if the second video completely debunked her video. “The Story of Cosmetics,” is either dishonest, or Annie is unaware of an FDA study that debunks most of what she claims.   Overall we think that the first video is about as relevant as global warming science and about as honest as a Washington politician.  Decide what you want..now where did I leave my shampoo?
