This is one of the most compelling articles yet on why we should toss out old cosmetics. Here is the link to read about Miss Washington’s giant collection of old make-up from days gone by. Our Beauty Alert! labeling system is listed, and the writer mentions my gross out bath tub experience with an oat meal bath soak….and mealy worms. So yucky. Read up! And hoarders, keep coming forward.

The crowd went wild when Wendy held up our product and said it was cute! Here is the only clip we have, which leads you to it on a face book page for a great skin care company. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150269330335720 Beauty Alert! labels were presented by the Wendy Williams Show beauty expert, Jenn Falik. Yay for making over the make-up case!

Labels, I thought: “What a simple but brilliant idea…I can’t believe no one’s thought of it earlier!” As a cosmetic and medical dermatologist, I value the importance of what my patients are applying to their face and body. Every day, I advise people about what products are best for their skin, however I never had an effective way to counsel them about getting rid of products that have expired. Numerous scientific studies have shown that cosmetics can grow a wide variety of pathogenic bacteria and fungi, especially once they are opened. “Organic” or “natural” products that contain fewer preservatives and thus seem “better for the skin” may actually become contaminated even more easily. Eye make-up in particular can be a potentially hazardous source of eye infections. We know that once a tube of mascara has been opened, 36% have microbial growth by 3 months*. Expired or contaminated products used on the skin may lead to skin irritation, rashes, or infections, especially if there are any breaks in the skin, such as with eczema or acne. Without expiration dates on the product packaging, it’s impossible to know when items should be thrown out. The people at Beauty Alert! have done their research and have taken the guesswork out about recommended product replacement times. Beauty Alert! Labels make it easy for me now to offer guidelines to my patients about disposing of potentially contaminated cosmetic products and ensuring their skin health.

Corporate coach to the stars, Anna Boynton

I love it that Beauty Alert! got written up (“Beauty Alert Stickers Are a Lifesaver!”) on a blog called Got The Knack! What a great name. Check out this blog, she has a great look.

Tonight, I celebrated with fellow aquarius folks at a great new bar called Flow. They need a better French red wine by the glass, but besides that, pretty great! Beauty Alert! and Boyntunes celebrated our new ventures. My friends Anna and Ken Boynton have a corporate coaching business. I am encouraging them to branch off into helping with etiquette issues. There is so much for Ken and Anna to do!

Inventor Spot has named us the #2 invention for women and moms! We are thrilled. Alissa and I wish we could give a heart felt speech about how we feel about this project, how long we worked on it, and what we hope for it. We want to make it better and better, and hope to make our next round a charity item. Yay! Thank you Inventor Spot!!!

We are in the LA Times! “Cosmetics, skin-care products don’t last forever”
One of the best articles I have read on old make-up and crusty loofas. Yuck. And yikes.
