People often want to reinvent themselves and change the way they look and ultimately how others see them. Some will take drastic steps to achieve this but most will change only a few things about themselves and leave it at that. Today, people even have the option of changing the color of their eyes with cosmetic colored contacts. Unlike prescription contact lenses, cosmetic colored contacts can be worn by nearly everybody and are available in a wide variety of colors and styles. So whether you want to create that special look for that special occasion or just feel that you would look better with blue eyes, these contact lenses could be the thing for you.
Cosmetic colored contacts have been around for years but were only available to those in the movie industry or theater. Their primary use was for actors to completely look the part. Today these same contact lenses are available to the general public and can be used everyday or for special occasions like Halloween if you want to stand out from the crowd. They are also often referred to as special effects contact lenses or just colored contact lenses.
Cosmetic Colored Contacts For Every Occasion
Special effects contacts are produced in mass or can even be custom made. The only difference between the two is the price. The idea behind each lens can usually be traced back to popular movies and are often associated to a particular character within that movie. An example of this would be the film The Lost Boys.
There are also the generic types of cosmetic colored contacts that look like cats’ or snakes’ eyes. Wearing these contacts, will completely allow you to look as if you really have eyes like cats or snakes without affecting your normal vision. There are also wolf eye versions available.
If you want to make more of a statement, you could even get special effects contacts that look like zombie or blind eyes. These lenses look like a solid white milky substance that covers your eyes. The only problem with these lenses is that you are not able to see through them hence the reason why you will see people only wearing one lens at a time.
Fire eye contacts give them impression that the eyes are red or engulfed in flames whereas black sclera contacts look like your entire eye has been filled with black oil and are completely motionless. If you want your eyes look like mirrors, then mirrored eye contacts are the way to go and hemorrhaged eye contacts will make your eyes appear like you have just had a very heavy night on the town.
Cosmetic colored contacts can also be used to enlarge your pupils quite considerably or even make your eyes glow in the dark. These are perfect for going clubbing.
Whether to you like your eyes to be blue or brown or really stand out from the crowd at the next Halloween party, you can be certain that there are cosmetic colored lenses that will fit any occasion or purpose. One last to remember before you go rushing to the mall, is that although you may have perfect vision, you will still need a prescription from a qualified eye specialist to be able to purchase cosmetic colored contacts.

Have you ever taken the time to ask yourself what it is you are smearing on your skin in the name of beauty? If you havent then its about time that you did. Heres a fact that you probably didnt know- many of the cosmetics and personal skin care products that you use contain endocrine disrupting chemicals that enter your body and cause unusual symptoms in your system.
Did you also know that the human skin has a great absorption rate for different types of substances without discrimination? It is your sole responsibility to ensure that this gateway is not exposed to any active ingredients that may enter the body and produce adverse effects on your organs.
Im sure you must be wondering what ingredients Im talking about. Ill focus on one of the most common harmful ingredients that are present in most cosmetic products. Im talking about Formaldehyde. Generally speaking, Formaldehyde is produced in the body in small quantities as part of our normal everyday metabolism. This form of Formaldehyde causes us no harm. Insignificant quantities of Formaldehyde are also found in the food we eat and certain drinks we consume. Question now remains- if Formaldehyde is so common in the human system then why is it labelled as a carcinogenic substance that we should look out for?
In its pure form and at room temperature, Formaldehyde presents itself as a colourless and flammable gas which has a pungent distinct odour. When this mineral is used in the production of cosmetics it causes a myriad of diseases including skin rash and redness when it comes in contact with the skin and coughing, vomiting and diarrhoea when ingested.
Facial cleansers, shampoos, toothpastes, sunscreen, mascaras, moisturizers and eye shadow are all examples of cosmetic products that contain a certain percentage of this chemical.
In the case of Antiperspirants, Formaldehyde has been known to cause nose irritation, sneezing, coughing and even headaches among certain groups of people. Sunscreen and other cosmetics that come into contact with the skin also have a significant effect on the skin when their use is prolonged.
There is very little human information on the irritancy of Formaldehyde solution on the human skin. However, animal studies have shown that formaldehyde solutions have a corrosive effect. Ofcourse the effect in cosmetics is limited by combining Formaldehyde with other synthetic compounds. This in turn results in a compound that has a different composition that causes allergic reactions in the skin of some people.
Heres what we know so far. Formaldehyde is a carcinogenic compound that is present in many cosmetic products and it produces adverse side effects in the body. So how can we avoid it and still look good? Currently, research is being conducted to find a replacement that works just as well as Formaldehyde only without the side effects. In the mean time here are a few tips that can help in ridding this chemical off your body. Before purchasing any cosmetic ensure that you read the ingredients used and the level of concentration of Formaldehyde. Cosmetics with low concentration of Formaldehyde are not dangerous and can be easily managed by the body. If this option does not ogre well with you then you can always opt for herbal replacements when it comes to lotions, moisturizers and make up before a breakthrough is finally unearthed.

Have you read about this recently? Many people are expressing interest in the latest line of collagen and elastin enhancers that have been popping up in stores. Many people don’t seem to believe the hype that surrounds these collagen and elastin products anymore since they have been disappointed so many times before.
One of the problems that I have found with most of the collagen and elastin enhancers that I have looked at so far is that they have two glaring omissions from their ingredients list; collagen and elastin. How can you advertise a product as containing certain ingredients and then don’t include those very compounds.
What these so called collagen and elastin products do contain is a wealth of potentially harmful chemicals in them. I’m not just talking about ingredients that will cause you to break out in a rash either, although there are plenty of those types of chemicals included. I am referring to the ones that increase your risk of developing cancer.
If you look up the ingredients of the average collagen and elastin enhancers you will find that most of them contain at least a half dozen or more cancer causing agents per tube. Ingredients such as these do not belong in cosmetics products, and products containing these ingredients should be avoided at all costs.
Of course even if you found all natural collagen and elastin products that actually contained the two main ingredients and they were properly rendered into a readily absorbable form the products still would do little to make you look younger. Simply introducing new compounds to your skin does not permanently solve the problem.
Collagen and elastin enhancers are not a viable solution because you get very small doses of the main ingredients. The only way that you are ever going to get younger looking skin is through using a product that contains the correct mixture of protein peptides to cause the body to begin greater production of collagen.
Collagen and elastin products that contain the ingredient Functional Keratin are the true answer to your problems. This ingredient is made up of exactly the factors that you need in order to safely elevate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production leaving you with the healthier, smoother skin that you’ve been striving for.
This ingredient can currently only be found in the collagen and elastin enhancers that are being produced by a company in New Zealand that is well known for the production of both high quality anti aging skin care products and all natural nutritional supplements. Their line of products is the safest and purest cosmetics line that you are going to find.
Their collagen and elastin products also contain a wonderful kelp extract that disables the enzyme in your skin that has been systematically breaking down your body’s supply of hyaluronic acid over the years. The return of your hyaluronic acid to healthy levels will further erase the signs of aging from your skin.

I let my boyfriend use my Clinique moisturizer. I have never thought to buy him a bottle of his own and I’m not sure he’d like it if I did. As liberated as we may be from traditional gender roles, it’s still difficult to sell American men on products they’re used to seeing in a woman’s cosmetic arsenal. (Especially products with frou-frou French names.) So how do you make what’s in those bottles and tubes seem manly? Here are a few product naming strategies.
Make it no-nonsense. Most guys don’t want to feel like they’re fussing with their appearance. So appeal to their practical side. Kiehl’s dubs its skincare line “Facial Fuel.” Jack Black’s “Beard Lube” sends the message that male grooming is like keeping your car in good shape. And Zirh’s skin line uses product names like “Clean,” “Fix” and “Defend”-no-frills, active verbs that get straight to the point.
Try a little humor. Bond with male customers with tongue-in-cheek product names that suggest you don’t take this stuff too seriously. Origins’ after-shave balm “Fire Fighter” (which “takes the burn out of shaving”) evokes a strong and masculine American archetype, while the playful pun keeps it light. “Save the Males” moisturizer riffs on the famous bumper sticker slogan, making it a fun item for him to buy himself-and a memorable gift from her.
Amp up the testosterone. Use aggressive imagery or sound symbolism. With its hard-hitting sound and brutish associations, “Axe” clearly telegraphs it’s a man’s line. The marketing is equally hard-line; as you wait for Axe’s website to load, you’re informed that “your mojo is loading.” Other lines that play the macho card are “MoxieforMen,” “Male Species,” “Naturally Man” and “Blood & Guts.” (Ok, the last one wasn’t for real.)
Think sporty lifestyle. Successful cologne brands like Canoe and Polo evoke a carefree, active lifestyle. “Skin Diver,” the name of Origins’ bar soap, is a nice double entendre. And then there’s Tommy Bahama’s Set Sail South Seas. Who cares if it’s a bit of a fantasy? That’s the point.
Appeal to the lower charkas. There’s nothing like the prospect of increased action to get a guy over the notion that grooming isn’t manly. Juicy Couture’s “Dirty English” eau de toilette promises a “passion-inducing mix” of scents (without being totally scandalous). Billy Jealousy’s “Illicit” fragrance suggests a potion that will help men let their bad boy out, and Eclipse Spa is even more direct with their “Sexy Man” line.
Don’t call it makeup. Of all cosmetics for men, makeup is probably the toughest sell. Stars like Zac Effron may make waves by sporting “guyliner” and “mancake.” But don’t expect most straight American males-even metrosexual ones-to embrace the practice anytime soon. According to a 2005 GQ survey, “92 percent of men would not wear makeup even if it guaranteed them a more fulfilling sex life.” Perhaps one day we’ll be more like Europe and Asia, where makeup for men is far more acceptable, and fanciful or even romantic product names flourish. (Witness the popularity of the Gatsby makeup line in Japan, or North Korea’s Man Holding Flower.)
In the meantime, if you want to sell makeup to men, make it sound like something else. Somethingscientific, perhaps. The vaguely clinical term “enhancement” (as in “complexion enhancement”) is a popular malespeak euphemism for makeup these days. For instance, Biotherm Homme positions its Power Bronze line as “instant skin enhancement.” And 4VOO’s “Confidence Corrector” promises a boost of self-esteem and camouflages the fact that it’s more commonly known asconcealer.
