I had posted last weekend about a sale that LORAC Cosmetics was having on their web site, and my ordered arrived yesterday. Their quality and packaging are excellent, so when I saw the prices on their sale, I knew it was time to add some more of their products to my stash. I have one more order coming from them, because I thought it would be a good opportunity to get some Christmas gifts, and of course I couldn't resist getting a few more things for myself! As far as I can tell, the sale is still going on "while supplies last". Shipping is free over $50.00, and according to the previous prices, this order is valued at $293.00, but I paid just $53.45 for all of it. Now I feel better knowing that I justified my purchase! The shipping took 4 days, and I had eMailed them a question and they answered it promptly. I would say that their customer service is as fantastic as their products.

Researching cosmetics companies, their founders, their philosophy, and so on is always something that interests me. LORAC is the founder's name, spelled backwards...Carol. According to her bio page on their website, her father was a hairstylist and her mother was a manicurist. You can read more about her here.


Fall and Winter Makeup for 2010/2011

So during the fall and winter skin tends to become dry and flaky and downright a mess. If you have problem skin during these months you may have to use a different makeup routine starting with how you wash you skin and moisturize.

Check out my blog on oil cleansing I swear by it! I use Castor oil and oil to and cleanse I recently started using Bio Oil as well. I never use soap ever for the last 3 years! If I get a zit I use tea tree oil to zap those pesky little spots away.

My daughter wants to wear makeup!""

So those of you who have daughters bless you heart. I for one have a 12 year old son with very different issues. Now a days our little girls have so many body issues and all these magazines and video vixens and pop stars selling seductive looks I mean Im 31 and I feel ugly and not perfect looking at the self proclaimed beauties thanks to plastic surgery and endless makeup gurus and hair stylists but these young impressionable girls have no clue. So your little one wants to wear makeup and you say NO well my theory is different because she may do it behind your back that's what I did at school I looked liked a 25 year old Hooker!!! But mom there are ways to let your daughter slowly start wearing makeup and teach her first that less is more unless your a clown :) so I don't wear face makeup but I like tinted moisturizer to tone out my skin I found at Walmart a brand called geogirl I didn't realize that it markets to 8-12 year olds. ( I still like it for me) It's a fresh faced brand that wont make your angel look like a an adult but like herself and letting her feel more grown up without the damaging effects of real makeup for women.  www.geogirl.com so check it and talk to your daughter about the effects of growing up too fast. But I do feel they need to remarket to 12-16 not so young as 8 year olds.
