Sneak Peek: Pink Blossom Cosmetics Birthstone Mineral Collection

Skin Food: Anti-Aging

It is important to to use a few specific products to help your skin stay healthy and radiant. Yet, these products alone aren’t enough to preserve your looks. Why not? Because once we pass our teens and 20s, our skin starts losing collagen (which keeps skin firm) and elastic tissue (which keeps it supple). The result: thinner skin, frown lines, and wrinkles. To fight these effects, you’ve got to feed your skin what it needs to build healthy collagen and elastic tissue. Here’s how to slow the signs of aging:

EAT PLENTY OF PROTEIN. Collagen is a protein, so all proteins (like chicken, lean meats, and soy) will help keep your skin strong and flexible.

DON’T YO-YO DIET. When you starve yourself, you deprive your body of the building blocks of collagen and your skin ages faster.

CUT BACK ON SUGAR. Sugar breaks down healthy tissue and interferes with your body’s ability to make new collagen, leaving your skin thinner and weaker. If you have a sweet tooth, try having just a spoonful of dessert, not the whole thing, and avoid high fructose corn syrup (found in soda, salad dressings and many sweet cereals).

LOAD UP ON VEGETABLES. Studies show that those who eat lots of colored vegetables have fewer wrinkles, especially crows feet around the eyes. So instead of rice, potatoes or pasta, have spinach, squash or green beans next to your chicken, fish, tofu or steak.

7 Spring Makeup Trends & Skin care tips to try

• Fresh Faced: Before you consider any product change, get your skin in the best condition by exfoliating and using a face mask. Exfoliating your entire body two to three times per week as well and use a weekly face mask depending on your skin's needs. Our favorite exfoliator right now is Beautisol's Go Slough Yourself. It will blast away the last remnants of dry winter skin.

• Ditch the Heavy Foundation: We love a creamy foundation for winter, but change it out for a tinted moisturizer for spring and summer. No need to buy a new product; make your own by mixing your current liquid or cream foundation with your moisturizer.

• Enhance Your Eyes: This spring is all about small pops of color, and your eyelids are the perfect place for that pop. Orange, pinks, blues, and greens - pick your favorite and go for color this spring. We're also seeing an increase of the strong brow look (not to be confused with unkempt brows) and eyeliner pulled out into a cat-eye look. We're personally admiring those two looks from afar, but if you're bold enough, this is the time to find your inner kitty.

• Sporty Cheeks: Sporty-flushed cheeks are hot this spring. And lucky for you, you don't have to be a runner to get the look. Pick a creamy pink or peach blush like Laura Mercier's Innocent Peach this spring. Put on your favorite pair of yoga pants and let everyone think you just came out of the gym. We won't tell.

• Lucious Lips: There is a lip trend for everyone this spring. Glossy or matte - take your pick. Glossy pink is hot, hot, hot, and so easy everyone to wear. We are loving Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Cream Lip Polish for just about every skin tone. But if you want matte lips, try a nude or light pink such as Nars Madere.

• Hint of Glow: Don't dig out the self-tanner just yet. Using an illuminating bronzer like Josie Maran's Argan Illuminizer will give your face the illusion of inner glow without the fakeness of an early tan. Apply in moderation to the areas of your face that naturally hit the sun, plus your collarbone and your bare shoulders for a natural radiance.

• The Most Important Step: Sunscreen! We hope you've been wearing a facial sunscreen all winter long, but in case you haven't, start now. A mineral sunscreen like Clarins UV Plus Dayscreen is so light it's is almost invisible. The sun is responsible for most of your aging signs so apply after your foundation and again as needed throughout the day.

Looking for Testers!

Hello All,

As most of you know I recently started my mineral line. I"m still in the testing/formulation stage and have not finalized my release date. ( I'm hoping end of Jan 2012) With this said, I'm looking for a few willing testers to test out my mineral eyeshadows ( multipurpose as well). I do have some requirements since you will be giving me your HONEST review.

Requirements:

- Must be HONEST and THOROUGH. I don't want someone who says OH this colors is nice or this is horrible. I want constructive criticism. Feedback is very important to me. I want to know the specifics so I can change the formula and make it better. For example, This needs more adhesion, slip,not blended well, etc.

-Must wear it as an eyeshadow, liner, blush, face, or lips for at least a day. This is the most effective way to tell if the product is intended for. You can not just swatch it and say it's needs improvement. ( Some products are not for Lips and these will be CLEARLY marked)

- Must be kept CONFIDENTIAL. What this means you can not blog, facebook, twitter and/or youtube about testing my mineral line. I'm not sending it to you as a PR review.

- Must have knowledge of makeup ingredients. If you don't have knowledge of the makeup ingredients this does no good to me. Part of testing my mineral line is knowing what are the ingredients. What each type of ingredient does and what it helps with. For example, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Silica, Etc

- Must be 18+ years of age & in the United States. Sorry I do not ship international at the moment.

-Must respond within 3-5 days of receiving products. Respond Via Email is fine. I don't want an essay but at least good responses to each product.

- Can not hold myself or Pink Blossom Cosmetics liable for any reaction to any product or ingredients I offer.

If you're interested please send me an email with Subject Mineral Tester to pinkblossomcosmetics@yahoo.com. Please include a little bio about your makeup background, name, age, and that you AGREE to the requirements. Once I do select you I will respond and request for your mailing address. You will be sent "SAMPLES" to test and provide feedback within 3-5 days.

Thank You!

One year anniversary giveaway on facebook.

I want to personally THANK each and everyone who had shared and tagged our fanpage. I really appreciate it. I started with PBC a year ago and didn't have a clue where i wanted to lead this small side gig. Initially, I started as a reseller at a local event and had a huge response to the products I was selling. Now a year later and I'm venturing into mineral makeup. I will still be reselling some other makeup products but my concentration will be mineral makeup. Currently, my online shop is closed due to the mineral makeup. I will re-open it once I have my mineral line finished which will be soon. I'm hoping mid to late Jan 2012.


Unfortunately, we did not reach 2,000 fans therefore the Sephora Gift Card is not being given away. =(
