Found a great piece on totalbeauty.com that interviewed cosmetic chemists dispelling some common myths and spitting out the truth about the products we use. Slide #7 had me laughing...La Mer Cream (that $500 jar of moisturizer) was not created by a rocket science as the company claims it to be and I'm shocked that someone actually said the truth in print. It was designed as a marketing scheme to get people to buy into the untruth. Worth the read.

Omg Shelley I read this and panicked!! I'm afraid to look at the ingredients on my products! This is exactly why I always look for those diy creams using 100% organic non gmo ingredients like honey and rose hip seed oil and all that stuff!! Traci do you believe those Diy recipes work?

Traci L.
Omg here come the tears, thank you so much guys , Alma and Jacqueline do a Awsome job and an its a tough job that I wouldn't want lol now I have to go fix my makeup
Feb 5, 2014
Shelley W.
Yep. I most certainly agree. Traci for BL moderator. She is my go to person when I can't reach out to my husband who has a full plate. When he comes home he doesn't like talking "shop" but when I was having an issue Traci pointed something worthy of me to try and for that I give her kudos all day long. I wish I could dupe her so she can be in FL and do my quarterly facials. xxxx

I am so exited to sit down and read this later Shelley! A good scoop on beauty products is like my soap opera.
I agree 100% on how invaluable Traci had been. Traci we appreciate you more than you know and everyday that I see you comment on my mascara trials it makes me so happy along with Naomi who makes me laugh so much. You really take the time to make sure we KNOW the important bases of skincare and love you for it.
