Rohto "Ice" Eye Drops - serious redness relief!

2011-08-26T14:47:00.000-04:00

Essential in every professional make-up artist's kit is an eye drop that relieves redness. Rohto "Ice" eye drops do the trick. Not only do they relieve (most) of the redness, they add a cooling effect that actually wakes up your eyes. Also available in "Cool" and "Arctic", these are a must have.

Be sure to visit the Rohto website for ingredient, directions and warning info (for those of you who wear contacts or have eye conditions or sensitivity).

Counterfeit Cosmetics On-Line

2011-08-13T14:03:00.002-04:00

Because I live in an area with little option for buying products for my kit, I often order on-line. In doing this, I have come across websites selling counterfeit cosmetics, specifically M A C. When doing research on the subject, I came across a beauty blog that can help identify M A C fakes. The Accidental Beauty Blog has a detailed list of common counterfeit items that are on sold eBay and other sites, a list of websites known to sell counterfeits and photographs of the slight differences in packaging that can help identify the fakes.

I believe that it goes with out saying that purchasing name brand items on eBay is a gamble, but with cosmetics it is a bigger gamble. M A C spends time and money researching the ingredients that they use in their products, these counterfeiters do not. You do not know what you are putting on your face, and that is not safe. I strongly advise you check out The Accidental Beauty Blog before (if at all) purchasing M A C products on any site other than M A C's official website.

Also known as the "24 Hour Miracle"... A must have in a make-up artist's kit.

Many uses:

- Post shaving irritation soother

I just received my miracle today. It is non-greasy, absorbs into the skin right away. I can't wait to use it on my clients!

Product of the week

2011-05-03T23:24:00.000-04:00

I was introduced to Blinc Mascara a few weeks ago by an actress. I was amazed.

Blinc Mascara forms tiny water-resistant tubes around the lashes. Once applied, the tubes bind to your lashes, preventing running, smudging, clumping or flaking. To remove, you just use a wet cloth and the tubes just come right off. Simply amazing.

Check out the Blinc Mascara link below for more info...
