It is all-natural and being touted as something that can actually help your skin. It’s called Mineral Makeup. Cosmetic companies are marketing it by different names, but they all have a common ingredient - minerals.
“Mineral makeup” takes its inspiration from minerals and inorganic pigments that exist in nature. Many combinations of these colored minerals, such as mica, titanium dioxide, zinc and iron oxides, and ultramarine pigments, can be created to make every cosmetic from foundation to eyeshadow to shimmer powder for the body.
A leading cause of wrinkled skin is the heavy and constant application of makeup. After years of makeup use, your skin is no longer what it used to be. It is a product of heavy abuse due to harsh makeup products. Ideally, your skin care will consist of no makeup on the face.
If You Use Makeup, Make Sure It Is Mineral Makeup
The benefits of mineral makeup cosmetics:
Natural look and feel
Stays on all day long
Good for sensitive skin
It’s anti-inflammatory
No harmful ingredients
Best of all, because mineral powders are inorganic and contain no moisture, bacteria do not grow and no preservatives are needed.
It works on everyone! And every climate. Not only does it contain sunscreen, but cosmetic companies say Mineral Makeup works with humidity. So that means even if you sweat, your makeup stays put.

The house of Pucci is celebrating it’s sixtieth birthday by inviting 250 guests for a weekend of fun and frolics at its Palazzo in Florence. Pucci designer Matthew Williamson has invited a swathe of fashionistas and socialites to keep him company throughout the proceedings, which, if the brand’s heritage is anything to go by, will be a sumptuous affair with no expenses spared. Famous throughout the sixties as ‘the prince of prints’, Emilio Pucci initially made his name designing streamlined ski suits. Soon he was catering for the jetset - notably Elizabeth Taylor - with his flashy, swirling, brightly-coloured prints . He died in 1992, and Matthew Williamson now is principal designer for the brand.

With a design philosophy inspired by the romanticism of vintage textiles, Lisa Ho has been at the forefront of the Australian Fashion Industry for the past 23 years.
Like many of Australia’s fashion designers, fresh out of college in 1982, Lisa Ho started her career at the Paddington markets with her designs that quickly brought her retail and media attention and began the Lisa Ho brand.
The Lisa Ho brand has continued to build into one of the most recognised brands in Australia and has a strong celebrity following with signature pieces being worn by Delta Goodrem, Sarah Wynter, Elle Macpherson, Sarah Michelle Geller, Olivia Newton John and Jennifer Lopez.
From Elle Macpherson at the David Frost Summer party in London to “the pink dress” for Delta Goodrem at the Australian Aria Awards, Sarah Wynter in Lisa Ho at The Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, and Jennifer Lopez choosing to wear Lisa Ho during her Australian promotional tour.
Her international reputation, was first recognized during the Sydney 2000 Opening Ceremony, which featured a special Lisa Ho designed segment celebrating her role in Australian fashion. Lisa was also asked to design the gown worn by Oliva Newton John for her performance to welcome the Olympic athletes.
Lisa travels widely, quietly watching the way people go about their lives and the changes in the world they’re moving in. And it’s always done through a designer’s eye. “I think if you’re a designer you look at all forms of design – art, television, music - everything influences you.”
Today Lisa Ho has culminated in a national signature store base of 10, an exclusive department store arrangement with David Jones and representation in over 250 boutiques both local and internationally.

Gwen Stefani has come a long way since her No Doubt days, with a hugely successful singing career and her very own fashion label. More importantly her sense of style has gone from strength to strength, managing to be incredibly slick and outlandishly original at the same time.

Fashion shoes collections CHANEL 2007:
CHANEL turned her legendary eye to shoes fifty years ago and the fashion house that remains at the top is celebrating this year. Having launched her trademark and innovative LBD in 1926 and her quilted handbag in 1955, the designer broke with convention once more and the two-tone, toe-dipped sling-back slipper was formed in 1957. “The black, slightly square toe shortened the foot,” explains Monsieur Massaro, the house shoemaker at the time. “The beige melted into the whole and lengthened the leg. It was a very pure design, accentuated by the fineness of the straps. We rejected the idea of a buckle, which looked a little bit old-fashioned, preferring instead to add a little elastic on the low-cut inner side. This elastic adapted to the shape of the foot, adjusting its every tension and following its movement.” Coco’s own reasons for the design were simpler: it meant she could gallivant around doing what she loved best - playing sport and going on trips - without visibly dirtying her shoes. Legend has it she saw the black leather toe worn by staff on her friend the Duke of Westminster’s yacht and decided to copy the trend. “A woman with good shoes is never ugly. They are the last touch of elegance,” she used to say, along with the declaration: “With four pairs of shoes, I can travel the world.” Make that 400… To celebrate its half-century history, the two-tone is back this season in gorgeous flat and kitten-heel designs, available now from all Chanel stockists.

Fashion clothes collections CHANEL 2007:Mini Retro Futuristic Black & White Chanel
Chanel did the unexpected by presenting a black and white Spring 2007 collection that has 1950s elements but with a very futuristic bent.
It opened with all the models wearing a white lab coat, something you will expect a chemist or a cosmetologist to wear. And, if that will not astonish you, what followed will – a parade of minis and micro-minis that ranged from shift dresses to dress suits.
Now, that you’re awake, the swimsuits took an about turn with its 1950s silhouettes, something that Marilyn Monroe would wear.
Ready for the next surprise? It’s Star Trek time with beaded or sequined boy shorts and snug fitting short-cropped jackets worthy of a Star Fleet uniform, or better yet, Seven of Nine of the Borg.
