as we all know, metrosexual is becoming a trend these days.
any idea which company sold the first cosmetic and beauty products for men? and in what way that company satisfy mens' beauty needs?Which company who sells the first cosmetic or beauty products for men?
If you mean things like nose-hair trimmers, men's girdles, perfume, and snake-oil in general you are going to have to go back past the Victorian era.
If you mean cosmetics you have to go back past the Egyptian dynasties.
If you mean for ceremonial purposes you have to go back past the dawn of man.
Does that answer your question?

Why don't cheaper cosmetics/creams/hair products work as well as high end ones from Neiman/Nordstroms?
Popular sayings were that cheaper cosmetics worked just as well as higher end ones. Not so true! I've sampled and used SO many from high end cosmetics to low end, and at the end of the day what I find is that higher end cosmetics definitely work better, though are 10x more expensive than lower end cosmetics.
When I used products from L'oreal, Oil of Olay, Neutrogena, Aveeno, Dove, and millions of other middle of the road, and even lower end products, I noticed that they really didn't do anything really for treating aging, lines, etc. They are ok for moisturizing, sunblock, and all that stuff, but when it comes to SERIOUS skin care, and plastic surgery like results, they do NOT deliver.
However when I used higher end products from Neiman/Nordstroms, I find that they work SO well some of them, that you end up having a flawless complexion and they even make you look younger too.
In short: They work MUCH better.
Not all, there are some higher end cosmetics that are total ripoffs but,
is there just more research time and development put into higher end cosmetics?
If we're serious about skincare, should we spend the money on one or two of the higher name brands, and just ditch the lower stuff altogether?
Same goes for hair and hair products.
Any advice?
When you get your hair ';professionally'; done and use those professional products, your look is 10x better than if you were to buy your own dye and do it yourself etc.
Why don't cheaper cosmetics/creams/hair products work as well as high end ones from Neiman/Nordstroms?
the ';professional'; products tend to have higher priced ingredients and also contain more of the active ingredient. when it comes to hair, the professional color lines use ingredients that are less damaging and more conditioning to hair. but don't forget the people at the salon know how to formulate color and style hair. there's more to it then people think. hope this helped a little!

I never wear concealer/foundation whatever the diff is. Im wondering is mac the best brand? I dont li ke it to look cakey, my skin is naturally pretty nice but just for special occasions i want to take it to the next level. I like the stuff that looks bare, like u dont have anything on. help! btw my color is like cinnamonMac cosmetics..anyone use their products?

MAC Foundations are known for their thick characteristics. They are clay-like and have been used for theatrical purposes. The foundation most likely wont give your face that natural look because of it's thickness. MAC face products have been known to cause breakouts around the face, espeically if you have sensitive skin. If your complexion is nearly flawless, I wouldn't bother with MAC foundations. Try something that is a bit lighter on the face.
CoverGirl - AquaSmooth is a cream foundation that is generally lightweight. It applies smoothly and blends into your face easy. It doesn't leave your face streaky or sticky like most liquid foundations. For a drugstore brand of foundation, it worths exceptionally well. Like with most foundations, apply a pressed or loose powder over the foundation, to give your face a final, natural finish.
Just so you know, a concealer is used to cover blemishes around the face. (Partial facial redness, dark undereye circles, acne scars, etc.) It's not to be applied to the entire face like foundation. It has a thicker base than foundation, therefore covering better.
I like their concealer and powder but not the foundation.
The foundation does give you that perfect look, but some types are a bit too heavy. I didn't look cakey when i had it applied ( Mineralize satinfinish foundation) as it was a medium coverage foundation.
But i have sensitive skin, and since the foundations are very oil based i broke out in bad spots :( I never get pimples and after one use they were all over my cheek and nose.
I stopped using it right away, but since then i've continued with the other Products and they're great.
Just the foundation my skin can't take, but if you don't have sensitive skin like mine then it'll probably become your best friend :)
Hmmm MAC can go on really cakey, but you can also make it looks not cakey.. use Studio Fix liquid foundation, then a tiny bit of Select Sheer Pressed powder blended on your skin really good. If your face starts getting oily or if it gets cakey, blot your skin lightly; or take a big powder brush and blend the makeup a little bit more, using just a tiny bit more powder.
MAC makes mineralized skin finishes which go on very lightly and just give you that air brushed look. I was using them before I started using Bare Escentuals and I loved them. They would be great for you since you said your skin is already pretty good, just dip a brush in it and lightly buff on to your face. The coverage is buildable, as well.
Mac is a good brand. I would recommend going to sephora and getting a consultation. They tell you what is best for your skin type. I love Cargo foundation powder. At sephora you can even get samples to try at home first.
i love mac its the bestttt

Cosmetics and skincare products to avoid during breastfeeding?
I read a lot of information on the internet about what to avoid when you are pregnant. But do the same rules apply after birth and when you breastfeed? Were you advised not to use something by a doctor? I get many skincare products as gifts, and since I am only 17 weeks I am going to avoid ';brightening'; masks and salcylic acid washes and products just to be safe. I also got dead sea masks and produst. I am not going to use those (unopened) products until I give birth at least.
I like to try new skincare stuff but I don't know what to do...

I alos have papaya and pineapple enzyme masks. Just wanted to mention a few things here...Cosmetics and skincare products to avoid during breastfeeding?
While you are breast feeding, use Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a facial moisturizer. I've been using it, straight from the bottle, for the past 3 months and my skin is in the best condition of my life! You just need a few drops. My skin tone has evened out, lines have disappeared and my face has a healthy glow. I thought it would give me an oily greasy face but not so! My skin drinks it in and there is no odor. I'l bet you will continue to use it when the breast feeding phase is over!
Why spend a small fortune on skin care products when the best thing for your skin is right there in your kitchen cabinet?!
Plus, it's just plain healthier for you and your baby!Cosmetics and skincare products to avoid during breastfeeding?
Hello,
I have a 20 month old baby boy, when i was preggers I used cliniques ';sent free'; step3 line of skin care products and while i was b-feeding too. Only due to the fact that I was so sensitive to smells. I don't think you have to worry about skin care products on yourself while preggs or post during nursing b/c your not transferring those products to your babe by absorbing them through your skin. Check with a Doctor if you are really paranoid though to make sure.

Good Vegan Products/Cosmetics?
Does anyone know any good brands for cosmetics, body lotion, deordorant, etc.?Good Vegan Products/Cosmetics?
Wholefoods have shampoos, lotions, and deodorants that are good, their are several brands there but i recommend jasons or the wholefood brand
Lush
Urban DecayGood Vegan Products/Cosmetics?
REVLON and ELF arn't tested on animals, and most of their products don't contain any animal ingridents
the body shop doesn't test on animals but almost all their products contain animal deprived ingridents, etc beeswax, lanolin, etc
LUSH are all natural and when they say natural, they mean it,unlike companies who claim chemicals being natural. most of their products are vegan, and are labelled it so it's easier to find.
MAC, orgins, urban decay, uhh elizabeth arden, dior, don't test on animals, if yer wanting makeup.
also hit your local health shop, the hippies know what theyre doin
LUSH products are vegan, I believe. They have a wide variety of stuff -- soaps, bath bombs, face washes, moisturizers, etc. For the most part, MAC is also vegan-friendly (except brushes and some lipsticks), check their site for more information. I'd suggest visiting an environmental-friendly neighborhood store (like Trader Joe's, Fresh and Easy, the organic section of Vons, etc.) and checking out products there.
Eco tools is Vegan. The handles are made of bamboo and the hairs are synthetic. Also, the brushes are very soft.
