Some of my favorite makeup youtube/howto viedeos

For classy great eye-grabbing looks this gal is just my absolute fave! She is so easy to follow along with and has such a great personality. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAvgeBRw4qUxB0XdBz89sjg

This girl has a lot of talent and is great for costume makeup looks especially:

Are you extremely pale (like me) and have such a hard time finding anything that will match your shade because the lightest version of it is about 3x too dark? This girl will SAVE your makeup LIFE!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkJHb4rTNd8PIMD9S0UPCiw

For a classic sister duo these girls are just a bundle of laughs and SUPER SUPER talented! They go all over the world and get invited to red carpet events, even do makeup on celebrities and models for major world events: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjEPwaev8_zrpafISAPhruA

This girl, Cassandra Banks, is such a doll. She suffers acne so severe no one with acne could have it worse and she is on a mission to heal it. In that process she trials and reviews hundreds of products from hundreds of companies ranging from chemical answers to all natural ones. She is such a great resource for both products that have worked on her acne as well as how to beautifully conceal it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHj2_6e0Y2YdzHZDkkLa53Q
I forgot to mention she overcame some pretty big trials and became a model even with horrible, horrible acne. This was her official introduction into being known big time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KmV-zy6Zxc

Absolutely AMAZING all natural facial and even baby products company

I LOVE all natural products as I've had a struggle with my skin since I was young (12 years old). After trying chemical and other alternatives I decided to try natural ideas that even eventually lead to my changing my diet habits in a pretty extreme way, i.e. going totally raw for a bit. :) This company is an Australian one and they don't yet have a place here in the states yet so shipping is a bit expensive, so they throw in a bamboo cleansing cloth free to try and make up for the $20 spent to get their products here.

They have this wonderful product called 3.6.9. They are the omega oils and you can mix them with their amazing and SUPER healthy mineral foundation. You literally make your own fresh mixed foundation in the palm of your hand. It goes on so beautifully and you're left with this amazing, flawless skin that glows. Just beautiful.  http://evohe.com.au/product-category/product-range/evohe-colours-mineral-makeup/

I personally have the acne kit and the lightest shade of their mineral foundation. An absolute must-have if makeup causes breakouts for you.

Favorite anti-wrinkle cream... You HAVE to try it!

Here are some of my fave facial products that are amazing!!!! And I won't ever go without! For anti-wrinkle and SOOOOOOOO MUCH MORE, like actually reversing what is already aged such as the hoods that had formed around my eyes I use the creme luxury from Artistry. It is absolutely amazing. I have not been able to do much in the way of eye liner because I had hooded and wrinkled eyes in the back corners. After 6 months of creme lux I could do my eye liner freehanded no problem because I wasn't fighting my turning 30. lol..... You can see it here:

It contains an ingredient called cardiolipin that is required in our mitochondria for it to function.
Cardiolipin is a unique phospholipid, which is almost exclusively localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane where it is synthesized from phosphatidylglycerol and cytidinediphosphate-diacylglycerol. After primary synthesis, the mature acyl chain composition of cardiolipin is achieved by at least two remodeling mechanisms. In the mitochondrial membrane cardiolipin plays an important role in energy metabolism, mainly by providing stability for the individual enzymes and enzyme complexes involved in energy production. Moreover, cardiolipin is involved in different stages of the mitochondrial apoptotic process and in mitochondrial membrane dynamics. Cardiolipin alterations have been described in various pathological conditions. Patients suffering from Barth syndrome have an altered cardiolipin homeostasis caused by a primary deficiency in cardiolipin remodeling. Alterations in cardiolipin content or composition have also been reported in more frequent diseases such as diabetes and heart failure. In this review we provide an overview of cardiolipin metabolism, function and its role in different pathological states.

I did a little experiment (still in the throws of it). I quit using it for about 8 months to see if my eyes would go back to the way they were. It took a while, but the sagging of my eye lids is coming back! I will take pics and then post more pics in about a month. :)
