Sweetassgal here thanking my wonderful new friend Stylemama for bestowing upon me the gift of Dr. Hauschka! We are sisters in sensitive and red skin and the trial sized travel kit she gave me (which she promises will help tone down my redness) may be just the ticket I've been looking for. Dr. Hauschka has a Daily Face Care Kit for oily/impure skin with a Cleansing Cream, Clarifying Toner, Normalizing Day Oil (the anti-redness secret), Facial Steam Bath and two different masks. This is the perfect chance to test out the line and see what Dr. H really has to offer! I love it when lines offer a trial size kit so you can really afford to give it the old college try. Of course...I get to try it for FREE thanks to Stylemama!
Meg here! Who loves you baby? Well, yeah Cat Hickland does because she's actually the one practically giving her Skin Double Foundation away to you-but I do too! I love Cat too so it's just a big ole love fest over here!
Cat Cosmetics Silk Perfection Primer Read Reviews here! Had us going for it like catnip! It's a staple product and a "Must Try." It's one of the best primers on the market. The comments over this were phenomenal. If you need any more incentive to try then read on about her fabulous Skin Double Foundation promotion...
Meg here! You know how I read every one of your comments? Well, I try, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what "EDM" was and where everyone was coming from it. I thought "EDM" was the new "LOL" or "OMG". Finally, we had a Meg Head write "Everyday Minerals." Eureka! EDM was found.
I learn more from you ladies then anywhere else so I went on the search. I checked out the EverydayMinerals website. It's like a whole mineral universe in there. It's a mineral religion that may border on cult like. I'm wondering if we need to alert any of your family members! I too wanted a chance to be part of the hysteria sweeping the mineral landscape and so I put Eleni on the task to get us some of our very EDM to try out!
MissRo here to tell you about a new skin care line on the market. I know what you're saying, but there's always room for another line. Each woman's skin care concerns are a little different and some times you try hundreds of products and never find the right one.
MD Confidential was developed by a Plastic Surgeon and a Dermatologist. I think most of the "Doctor" brands out there are developed primarily by Dermatologists, so that's the first thing that caught my attention with this line.
Hello dear Megheads! This is Eleni sharing little pieces of last night with you.
How fun does going to a Crest event sound? It's an interesting feeling. Part of you feels like you're going to the dentist. Another part of you feels that it's OK to go to the dentist because you're gonna get a treat on your way out - IF you don't cry. And then, there is this third part of you, the optimistic Hollywood part, that feels like everything's gonna be OK because Ryan Seacrest is there and he's always smiling. Having Ryan Seacrest smiling next to yourself smiling in-a-picture will not cross your mind at this point, so you will still feel just fine leaving home without flossing. Probably one of the few times in your life that you'll regret not flossing SO much.
On our way to Santa Monica, Megan and I were hysterically laughing in the car about Sea-Crest hosting the Crest event. As usual we made up at last 4 different crazy scenarios on how this partnership happened. Of course we couldn't hold them to ourselves. Megan asked Ryan if he thinks Crest got its name in honor of his smile. I asked him if he had to change his name in order to be hired by Crest. He seemed amused and told us stories about how Crest Scope has practically saved his dating life.
Gigi here! The great question remains burning in the human soul--"To Bee, or Not to Bee?" Bee, definitely. We've discussed these all-organic products separately, but it's time to bring out the Queen in all of her grandeur--Burt's Bees Twenty-Fifth Anniversary "Head to Toe Starter Kit" for $14.99. Find it at a drug/discount store or make a beeline to purchase it at drugstore.com. I've purchased more than my fair share, and although products may vary, I have generally received exemplary items as well as a comb. No, not a honey comb--a comb for hair, you fellow gorgeous Meg Head, you!
For the uninitiated: In the 80's, a single mom, Roxanne Quimby, was left to raise her children by herself. Money was tight. One day she noted honey bee-ing sold from the back of a truck. Enter Burt. He looks exactly like the rough-hewn face on the containers. Okay, so he's not beeutiful like Richard Gere, Heath Ledger, or Johnny Depp, but fall in love with him nonetheless. This couple is as sweet as "Tupelo Honey," as Van Morrison tells it.
"I used to be Snow White but I drifted..." Mae West.
Goddess Granny here and I'd give a lot to have tea with the divine woman who said this originally: someone who was physically amazing and to have a sense of self-depreciating humor as well is truly a legend in my eyes. (Yes Meg...you TOO have those rare qualities, so there! :)
To my way of thinking,the most "beautiful" simply don't take it all so seriously.
I think that most of us dream of being able to maybe just one time, re-create our physical-selves into that which we usually only admire from afar? I think we all most likely have SOMEONE who inspires us to be a bit "more than" we are in our day to day to day lives but unless you are a model, an actor, entertainer, or someone else who deals in the more theatrical aspects of life, we really don't get that many opportunities or options to even attempt such a thing, multiple weddings aside. :)
Meg here! I am going to tell you my VERY FAVORITE INGREDIENTfor my face. I don't care who it is by-If Vitamin C is the main force in a face product my skin just drinks it up. I'm a smoker and I am trying to cut back before I quit. I hear (I know, aside from the fact it is going to kill me) that it depletes vitamin C from your body. A rational person would quit the cancer sticks. I headed to GNC to buy these really yummy vitamin C round wafer tablets that tasted so so good. I used to get very annoyed when my mother would only let me have one Flinstone vitamin! I mean, between Dino and Wilma, gosh, who could pick?
Any how, I really liked those vitamin c wafers in the big tub. They were so good. I ate them like potato chips watching a movie one night (I do not advise this and I only pulled this stunt once because I then proceeded to pee for hours straight.) There was a reason my mother had the flinstone vitamins on the top shelf!
BabyLovehere! I'm Meg's younger sister and I have to be honest. I'm not super huge into makeup. I like it but I'm not obsessed with it. There is just not a lot of time for it in my life. I'm a 28 year old mother of two boys ages 3 and 1.
Both of my boys are highly allergic- foods and also common environmental airborne particles like dust, pet dander, pollen, grass, and probably AIR! Lucky Me! I don't have time to do primer because I am too busy trying to keep my two little ones from breaking out in hives! This makes finding good products like washes, shampoos, and creams extremely difficult.
If it was difficult to find great "beauty products" for my children I thought it might be difficult for you too. I will be reviewing the best baby/kids products on the market for megsmakeup.com. I'll be helping you make informed decisions about what you're buying and whether it's worth your money. If my kids can use it, then believe me-anyone's can!
Over the last four weeks, I've been looking at every baby/kids skincare site known to man. I've found some really great stuff that I am excited to share with you. TADAH!! This brings me to our first ever Babylove subject..Erbaviva!
Sharond here . . . .First I would like to thank Meg and Beautyticket.com for the wonderful article on Makeup Expiration. The product I want to write about today appears to be going down in history as one of the greatest low cost cosmetic companies in my opinion. Meg’s information will be most helpful to know how much to hoard.
I have scoured Meg’s Makeup looking for a wonderful foundation that fit my budget, would provide a flawless look, didn’t clog my pores and would be kind to my sensitive skin. Unfortunately, there have not been many reviews of foundations lately and I hope to remedy this in the near future.
Last summer my friend, Judi, went to Macy’s and got a superb makeover by one of the best makeup artist’s instructor for the Estee Lauder counters in our state. Judi carefully wrote down all the colors and came home loaded with samples. With the economy as bad as it is around here, she (and me) knew we shouldn’t spend quite the high number of dollars for what we wanted to get from Estee Lauder. A few days later while strolling through the Walgreen’s cosmetic counter and was looking at Jane Cosmetics. Jenee’, the manager of the cosmetic department, mentioned that they were owned by Estee Lauder (I could not verify this statement) and she had heard that a lot of the colors were the same. Thanks to Jane Cosmetics being on sale, we cautiously decided to try a couple products. The product that I tried was the Be Pure Mineral Liquid Foundation.
