Monday Minute: Cosmetic Cop (Website)

Hey All!!!!

So the other day I was in the bookstore and I came across a book called "Don't Go To The Cosmetics Counter Without Me".  I picked it up and flipped through it and immediately fell in love with it. 

The book is basically a review of all of the beauty products/skin care products available on the market today.  It tells you which products are good and which aren't.  

But what I REALLY love, is that the information is available for FREE online.

The website is...

www.cosmeticscop.com

or

www.paulaschoice.com

Now when you click on the above links you're going to see a website for a skincare line... which is fine.  But you can ignore that you can also ignore the 'Sign Up'/'Login' stuff... unless you want to buy some of the products.

What you really want to look at is this...


First of all the Expert Advice tab is awesome... It covers all kinds of skin care for all skin types.  Have oily skin? Acne? Dry Skin (like me)? This site offers information about which products are better suited for your skin type and why.  It also has a lot of information on how to properly care for different skin types.  Everything from moisturizers, cleansers, toners, makeup, etc.

 The other cool think is the product reviews.

 I just went through almost every product that I own or use and checked them to the reviews.  Surprisingly, a LOT of my products aren't that great... or are good products, but not for someone of my skin type. 

 So I fully plan on utilizing this site when next buying some of my skin care products.





The Best Products and the All Products Review links are pretty amazing.  




You can search by brand... everything from Drugstore to High End is represented.




And what's best is you can search by specific products... list by name, by brand, by product and by price.  

For example I was looking at good moisturizers and could list them from cheapest (10-12 dollars) to the crazy expensive  (over 100 dollars) 
So, yeah, check out the site... play around... rate your makeup kit, like I did.  And stop wasting your money on sub standard products.  

 Awesome Skin and Happy Pockets!

 Jason

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Fairy Wings

A Midsummer Night's Dream Fairy Wings Completed November 2014 Items Made: Two Large and Seven Regular Pairs of Wings I was asked by the costume designer at McLennan Community College if I could make 9 pairs of fairy wings for their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.   I had never made wings before, but I said yes.  They came out AMAZING and now I'm a wing making master!  lol! We needed wings for Oberon and Titania and the four named fairies in the play, plus they added 3 more because reasons?   My only parameters given by the designer were that she wanted them to be insect like... not high fantasy... and that she wanted Oberon's to be up and Titania's to be down.   This was my design for the fairy court.  I believe these were based on bee wings.  I thought bees were also fitting as the fairies flit about caring for the queen. For Titania, I used cicada wings as inspiration.  I thought at fi

Fullmetal Alchemist: Lust

  Fullmetal Alchemist Lust Completed Sept. 2010   Items Made: Dress This costume was awesome to make. We kind of deviated from the actual design in that we made the dress floor length with a slight train and there's a thigh high slit up the front of the leg (sexy). The dress itself is made from hunter green satin with a black chiffon overlay so the dress looks black with a green tint. Because if you look at a lot of the anime pics, the highlights are done with dark green. The gloves were store bought and the detail was burgundy cording hand sewn onto the glove s.  The tattoo purchased from an online vendor. If you want to see better pics, CLICK HERE .  One of the photographers nabbed some cool shots.  But they're his property so I won't post them here.

HARRY POTTER House Scarves The Version I scarf is styled after the scarves worn in the first two films. It features a large stripe pattern in bright, bold colors and is finished with long tasseled ends.  The Version II scarf is styled after the scarves worn throughout the rest of the films. This one features a trapped bar pattern in darker, more muted colors and the ends are finished with a short fringe. I've made a few of these for myself.  I have an Ultimate Sweater Machine by Bond America and it is FANTASTIC for knitting scarves.  It only takes a few hours for these.  You can check out the Ultimate Sweater Machine at the link below .  It's also available at Hobby Lobby and Micheal's.  (Don't forget to use that 40% coupon). http://www.bond-america.com/products/usm.html  The yarn shown on the swatches is all the "I Love This Yarn" brand from Hobby Lobby.  I've listed the color names and numbers below the swatches and
