I have this old creaseless cream shadow I bought several years ago from Benefit Cosmetics that was discontinued so I was hoping someone could suggest a match to this awsome color. I believe it was called Traffic School and it was a muted purple grey color. So far, I haven't had any luck because all the purple shadows I see are powder that are either too bright or too redish. Thanks for your help!Benefit Cosmetics creaseless cream discontinued shadow color match?
I had that exact color from Benefit! I found a comparable shade in Maybelline--it's called ';Pretty Grey.';

Bbc Horizon did a programme about cosmetics that work. Which was the Boots No 7 cream that they said was good?
When I watched it I, thought they said that it was Protect and Perfect, but when I rang the Boots No 7 counter, they said it was Refine and Rewind. I'm not sure who's right - any ideas?Bbc Horizon did a programme about cosmetics that work. Which was the Boots No 7 cream that they said was good?
I saw this programme too. I'm not sure what the product name was but the ingredient they said reduced wrinkles was tretinoin which is used for acne etc. This is considered to be medicinal not cosmetic. However I believe it is retinol (pure Vitamin A) which you can find in other products like Nurture Intensive Night Repair Treatment Cream (go to healthspan.co.uk). Have a look also at bbc.co.uk for the Horizon programme information. Hope this helps.Bbc Horizon did a programme about cosmetics that work. Which was the Boots No 7 cream that they said was good?
Hi - it was protect and perfect. Boots have sold out - I managed to get a bottle of it in a small branch of Boots - the woman at Boots said that they knew the product would mentioned and all stores had stocked up for the rush - us girls are so predictable!! Their website has it back in stock - so no need to resort to ebay where some people are selling it for 拢65 a bottle!!
It is Protect and Perfect, here is the link to their website if you want more information on it...

beauty.iloveindia.comHave you ever made your own cosmetics? Body lotion or facial cream?
i think i could made by some flowers....but i dont know wats its name but it is for your face....blush on try it!!! Report Abuse
Yeah I do these things all the time.
There was this one recipe which I conjured up. I added flour, milk, crushed oatmeal, rose water and honey. It was actually very great, not too sticky and not too fluid-ish. You just keep adding one thing or another until you get the right 'texture'. Now I use this on my dry skin and it does wonders! The oatmeal is supposed to exfoliate and rose water is a mild antiseptic. Dunno what the honey and milk exactly do but they sure are good for dry skin!
That's my recipe anyways..
I hope I helped!

Where to buy slim gel, body wrap and shaping cream by Italian cosmetics company Venus?
The Venus site is below, that might give stockists...;Birds
Homemade Cosmetics-Does anyone have recipes to make homemade eye cream, cosmetics, lotions, cleaners etc.?
Honey Mask Recipe
The best facial mask is honey. Place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores. Smear on honey, and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Use once a week.
Miracle Whip Exfoliator
';Yes, I am talking about the same Miracle Whip your Aunt Mable uses in her macaroni salad. Apparently, women all over the US are using this salad dressing ingredient on their faces to remove dead flaky skin.
I have not tried it myself, but supposedly, KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP Exfoliating Facial makes an amazing treatment for normalizing over-oily skin.
Here is how you apply this ';miracle cream';:
Make sure all your hair is pulled back from your face. Apply a thin layer of the KMW all over your face, up to the eyelashes and make sure to also put some on your neck. The ';fumes'; from the vinegar may bother you so walk around the house to try to escape them. LOL!
Leave on for 10 minutes, then massage gently. The dead skin cells on your face will roll off in rubbery little balls. Rinse your skin with tepid water, then cleanse as usual following your regular beauty regime. If you apply the KMW every day, in 6-8 weeks your skin should be completely renewed.
I cannot help but wonder if this Miracle Whip eats away at the dead skin cells on your face, what does it do to the inside of the body when someone eats it?? Pretty scary!!! One person believes that the vinegar in the Miracle Whip is what causes the exfoliation and rejuvenation. If that is true, why not try a mixture of organic apple cider vinegar with some olive oil, apply that and see what happens? One could whip together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar, apply it to their face and then use the leftovers on their salad!
I think I will start experimenting with some ingredients and try to come up with a facial recipe to rival the KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP!';

In cosmetics there's such day cream & night cream. How our skin knows if it is day or night?
it doesnt, thats not the point. day cream is light and has sun protection, your face wont look oily and is protected from the sun. night cream is heavier and feels a bit heavier and oilier, its really good for your skin but you dont want to look like that all day! also, your skin 'behaves' differently at night, ie, it does alot of cell renewing, so you need a different cream to maximise that effect. also in the day your more active and you sweat so you need something that will stop your pores cloggingIn cosmetics there's such day cream %26amp; night cream. How our skin knows if it is day or night?
It is not that our skin knows of any day and night but it is the temperature that makes our skin get used to In the day it is hot so the melanin in our skin increases and it grows dark so the cream has to be one that makes u fair and gives a bit moisturising and cleansing to it. But at night when all the oil comes out out of the skin a cream is required which makes our skin a bit dry so that it remains nice.In cosmetics there's such day cream %26amp; night cream. How our skin knows if it is day or night?
your skin doesn't know anything but your pores when your awake and your pores when your sleeping do different things I'm assuming.
I have always wanted to know the answer to that. I usually get day cream and use it at night too.
well when your body is resting then it's night.
when your super active and are outside and stuff its day.
Night cream is heavier than day cream and is usually more greasy .
It knows by the chemicals that are in the cream that helps you with what ever you bought that cream for.
i would't say that our skin actually knows when it's day or night, but the cream would just be used for the skin 24/7.
All the day cream %26amp; night cream in the market has their own function. The day cream is usually less oily and have either SPF or UV protection, it is to prevent from getting pigmentation. As for the night cream, usually are more richer is because the night time is the best for repair your skin while you sleep. The best time for repairing your skin is from 11pm to 2am.
LOL it doesn't. Night cream is often too thick and goopy to wear during the day, but it benefits your skin because when you're asleep, it won't wear off.
The night cream is richer and your skin knows because you're resting while you sleep. Unless of course you have a wild dream.

What's best for oily skin (e.g. skin care line: cleanser, day/night cream, cosmetics, facial masks, etc.)?
Ladies, I REALLY do need your help. For those of you who have or have experienced oily skin, please share your experiences with me. My skin is not very ';obedient.'; When I apply my make-up, it would stay fine and smooth longer at night than it would during the day. Especially on summer days (at noon) I have to repeatedly re-apply loose powder to keep the sides of my nose from being so ';messy'; and ';oily';. Those who have oily skin would know how I really feel now. Please help me, ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any good and effective ways from your own experiences would greatly help me!! I would enternally appreciate any of your help!! Please, again!What's best for oily skin (e.g. skin care line: cleanser, day/night cream, cosmetics, facial masks, etc.)?
I have oily skin too and I love Artistry products.
If you live in Canada or the United States, you can order it online at http://wduever.qhealthbeauty.com...What's best for oily skin (e.g. skin care line: cleanser, day/night cream, cosmetics, facial masks, etc.)?
for oily skin, you can find a lot of good products from the dhc line. this article reviews a bunch of them and will give you a good idea what to consider:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article…
Sounds like you have some oil control challenges with your skin...a good make-up and powder are key, but it starts before you even put your make-up on. You would benefit from using an oil controlling cleanser/toner/moisturizing system. What most people with oliy skin don't realize is that your skin needs two types of hydration to be balanced...';water and oil';. When you deprive your skin of the ';water';, your sebum (oil) production kicks up to try to balance the equation...but as most people know water and oil are two different things. So by using an appropriate system and giving your skin the ';water'; it needs, your skin will produce less oil and start to balance out and be easier to get under control.

Wash your face every morning and night. Still isn't helping? Buy Neutrogena products such as their daily face scrub with invigorating microbeads. Still doesn't work? Go to a dermotoligist and ask if you can go on the medicine minisone which completely eliminates oily skin and pimples.
Try the source below. It discusses oily skin treatments.
YSL are the best and Chanel too....
I have the same problem and I agree completely! It's so irritating! I've recently started to use CoverGirl Oil Control Liquid Foundation (it doesn't have the greatest coverage though) and CoverGirl Stay Fresh Translucent Powder that comes in a silver compact. I've tried some other things but they haven't worked as well as this. I really hope I helped :)
I have the same problem and it sucks!! I just started using Maybelline Pure foundation. It is in a little blue squeeze tube, it is 50% water, it works well! My face still gets a little oily but not nearly as bad! I also use Avon Minerals makeup, sometime I use both but most of the time I just use to Avon makeup at night. I also sale Avon so I have a lot of it. lol
