Ooh La LORAC

As we head into September, the last of the fall collections that I hadn’t seen are popping up at Sephora (or I’m finally noticing them!)  I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of LORAC’s new offerings after checking it out in store and I’m all about their fabulous new products.  (LORAC and I have a long-standing history of fabulousness, so I’m glad to see that it’s still there).

Ooh La Lace Baked Shimmer & Matte Eye Shadow Palette is a really versatile palette that you can use to create looks for daytime, nighttime, or any occasion in between.  It comes with six shadows (three in each row) and what I like about it is that the rows are set up so that you can use each row to create a look separately, or mix and match the shades as you see fit.  I’ve been using the bottom row, which has more neutral shades of bronzes, to do my eyes for work, and I used the top row and its darker, more dramatic shades the other night when I was going out for drinks with some friends.  Here’s the full list of shadows – Lust (cream with shimmer), Smolder (matte gray), Risqu? (matte black), Stunner (light bronze with shimmer), Knockout (bronze with shimmer) and Racy (matte brown).  See what I mean?  You can tell how versatile the palette is just from reading those shade descriptions, but the shadows are also highly pigmented and blend like a dream, so it makes the $36 price tag even easier to justify.  And don’t even get me started on how cute the lace-wrapped box is!  I almost want to take it out at work and start putting on shadow again in the middle of the day just to show it off.  This one might have to be purchased a few extra times for Christmas gifts because I know a few of my friends and family members who would love them (none of whom are reading right now, hopefully!)

I also played around with their new Close Up: Real Life to Red Carpet Natural to Dramatic Face Tutorial.  (I think someone must’ve gotten paid by the word to name that!)  It’s a collection of five different products that you can use to create a full face look – a Starry-Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio in LORACstar, a Front Of The Line Pro in Black, a Multiplex 3D Lashes Mascara in Black, a Blush in Soul and a Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick in Trend Setter.  I really love the Trend Setter Liquid Lipstick.  It’s what I would call a bronzy-pink, so it’s the perfect neutral shade to wear during the daytime or pair with a smoky eye at night.  And I have yet to meet a Starry-Eyed Baked Shadow Trio that I haven’t loved, so LORACstar with its pinks and bronzes is right up my alley.  All the rest of the products are fabulous as well and they all go together nicely to create a finished look.  The set also comes with an easy to follow instruction booklet that shows you how to do both a natural day look and a dramatic night look – a nice bonus.  At only $39, it’s such a worthy purchase because the set has $120 worth of products in it.  Snatch one up now before they’re gone!

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using Lip Balms

Many people are not aware of the effects of lips balm, though they use it. Lip balms are said to have several advantages as well disadvantages too. In fact, lip balms are conceptualized to have benefits on protecting lips from worse external conditions. The disadvantages mainly are because of the low manufacturing quality and wrong way of use. The proper awareness of the disadvantages and benefits of lip balms will help choosing the right product and using them on the way it is designed to be. As many business firms offer lib palms as promotional products the overall use the product has been increased. Promotional lip balm even make people to use them as frequently as they are distributed multiple times to them; that too, free of cost. Let us see the most obvious advantages and disadvantages of lip balms.

Advantages

Lip balms are great sunscreen agents. They help hazardous rays from sun not affecting the beauty and natural health of the lips. Cracks and moisture loss are the two common issues on lips. Properly applied lip balms help curing the cracks and retaining the moisture levels. Most of the lip balms contain alcohol substance which helps protecting the lips against bacterial attack. Sun block lip balms are proved to prevent ultraviolet rays from hurting the lips. Sun block lip balms have titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as the basic ingredients. They help preventing any dangerous rays contacting the lips directly.

Lip balms help to protect the natural health and beauty of the lips. It is a fact that many people use lip balms just for the cosmetic purpose. Lip balms come with flavored ingredients and also in different colors to color the lips. Glowing lip balms are another highly liked model as these products will give an extra layer of glow to the lips. They even have pleasing smell appealing the senses of the user. Another advantage of a lip balm is that they are cost effective products when both the health and aesthetic aspects are concerned. Lip balms are one among the most used products in the cosmetic line. They have become inevitable accessories in the hand bag of every woman, and some recent additions offer lip balms specially designed for men too. They are not gender specific products and both men and women can use them. But the same products may not be equally effective for men and women as the skin types differ.

Disadvantages

Disadvantages are few when the lip balms are considered. Many of such disadvantages arise from negligence in use and manufacturing of the lip balms. Lip balms made of low quality ingredients can harm the lips seriously. Such lip balms may dry out the lips instead moisturizing it. Lip balm addiction is another disadvantage usually seen with the use of them. Habitual use may develop an obsession towards lip balms.  Some companies manufacture lip balms considering only the beauty aspect, ignoring the health benefits and soft character of the skin. Such products, gradually, will damage the natural color, softness and glow of the lips.

Be Good to Yourself and Your Unborn Baby; Safe Makeup for Pregnancy

A baby growing in the womb ingests everything the mother consumes. Including, but not limited to, what the mother puts on her skin, face, hair and nails.

The body does a great job of protecting the fetus by filtering bacteria and germs through the placenta but there are some cosmetic ingredients that can make their way through to the developing fetus.  Salicylic Acid, Retinol A, Parabens, Phathalates, Benzoyl Peroxide, Accutane, Hydrocortison, Lead and Dioxane are found in most traditional cosmetic brands and can be harmful to the unborn, as well as the mother.  These chemicals are termed “mutagenic” – having the ability to damage the genes and chromosomes.

The FDA has band only nine chemicals from US cosmetics compared to the European Union which has banned more than 1000. A product that is labeled as being “natural” may be mixed with synthetic dyes or fragrances. Many expensive products are full of the same ingredients and harsh chemicals as the less expensive brands.  And, many “common” synthetic ingredients are now being linked to conditions such as allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, testicular abnormalities, decreased sperm count and breast cancer.

Have no fear…. Vapour Organic Beauty is the answer! Vapour revolutionizes luxury and performance cosmetics with Pure Organic Formulation, unique light-as-air technology and sophisticated color artistry. Made from natural mineral pigments suspended in Certified Organic botanicals, Vapour delivers the look of flawless, glowing skin without compromise.

Brand Promotion and Personal Care with Promotional Lip Balms

Nowadays, brand promotion is not just distributing any useless gift to the customers. The new trends define promotional gifts as something that helps the customers to replace a usable product with. Personal care products are ever favorite brand promotional tools. Lip balms, hand sanitizers, promotional umbrellas etc… are the most sought after promotional tools today. Promotional lip balms deserve special attention as they are most widely used personal care product for brand promotion. Lip balms are products used daily by both men and women. A fully personalized lip balm will favor every brand on a daily basis.

Using personal care products as promotional items have several advantages. Seldom used products may lack visibility of advertisement, if used as promotional product. A good promotional product should have frequent use. Personal care items are used on a daily basis and multiple times every day. This offers the advertisement being seen several times each day. Lip balm promotion happens in different ways. The container of the lip balm can be imprinted with the promotional messages or logo to spread the messages and gain reputation. It is the basic psychology behind advertisement that messages that are frequently used remain in the minds of the viewers. This theory is applied on promotion with personal care products.

Promoting the use of personal care products like lip balms is a symbol of the social commitment of the brand which promotes the use of it. Even medical professionals advice on the use of personal care products, as the society is more prone to deadly diseases today. By distributing personal care products brands can advertise their products effectively also initiate personal care and wellness awareness among society. Lip balms are usually carried along by people wherever they move around. They are used as cosmetic product too. This double faced use of lip balms provide them with added promotional value.

Organic lip balms are the latest trend in lip balms. It is the result of the eco-friendliness adapted by almost all the brands. Organic lip balms are purely natural and can be used by all without the fear of the side effects. This nature-friendly approach helps to generate awareness among people about the importance of protecting the nature and living in natural way. Brands, when using the natural products can proudly display their commitment towards social values. Chemical lip balms many a times cause serious side effects on few people.

Natural awareness, personal care, wellness approach etc… are achieved through the use of promotional lip balms. No other product offers so many benefits on a single product. Brand promotion, in the older times, was somehow announcing the brand name and spreading the messages in all the possible ways. But today the entire concept of brand promotion has changed into distributing products which are highly usable for the receivers.

Flavor choices

Lip balms are available in numerous flavor varieties. Though lip balms are categorized among cosmetics, they are manufactured in different flavors, considering the fact that they are used on the lips, flavors are added to appeal the taste buds. A flavored lip balm can be more liked by the user than a plain, dry balm. Popular flavors are mint, fruit flavors, chocolate, butter etc… various flavors also help to keep the user at safe distance from any kind of addiction to lip balms. Using the same flavor everyday is said to develop addiction towards it. Lip balm is a single product but flavoring it will make the user feel difference and variety.

Label choices

Promoters of brand try to produce lip balms with multiple label varieties. In fact it is the label that speaks on behalf of the brand; thus making the labels of multiple colors and a design help them to make a feeling of variety in the product line and also opens the option of multiple advertisement styles. Images, logos, or service messages are commonly printed on the label. A brand can customize the label in any desired the fashion and design. Calendar lip balms, mood balms, love balms, party balm… the list of label customization is long! By providing theme based designs on the labels, brands can promote the use of the lip balms and prevent the exclusion of them on events like a party.

Lip balm recipe varieties

Variety in recipe differentiates lip balms from one another. Recipe of lip balms means the formula of make or the differences in the ingredients used in it. Every lip balm is made of certain ingredients and flavors. Changing the ingredients can make lip balms differing each other.

Variety in size

Another way of differentiating among the lip balms is to manufacture and supply lip balms in multiple-sized containers. The differences in the bottle size help the brand to have different bottles that fitting the advertisement needs. Large bottles help promoting messages or images that need large print area. Some firms even use custom shaped bottles. A lip balm bottle can be shaped as the company logo or can render some exclusive shapes. All these varieties work on the basic principle of psychology that what makes a difference for the eyes are accepted as different by the mind too.

Flavored Promotional Lip Balms

Flavored lip balms are the latest trend in promotional lip balm. Unflavored lip balms are said to develop lip balm addictions and dislike towards the use of lip balms. Lip balms in multiple flavors are available to purchase. Though the base content is the same in most of the lip balms, flavors make them feel distinct. Being used on lips added flavors make them taste pleasant than the typical taste of beeswax and petroleum jelly in the lip balms. Fruits, chocolates, mint etc… are commonly used flavors. Some flavors are even mood creating. People develop attachment towards certain flavors; thus companies are keen to distribute flavored lip balms as brand promoting products.

Benefits of flavored lip balms

The most important benefit of a flavored lip balm is that it doesn’t make an aversion in the user. Everyday use of the same flavor will create a dislike in the user gradually and people may stop using lip balms. On the opposite side, it is also said that the regular use of the same lip balm will create an addiction towards the particular kind and trying different varieties will wash away such addictions. Flavored lip balms make the user to taste and smell differently every day. Brands can create an image of distributing variety of products by supplying flavored lip balms replacing the monotonous unflavored lip balm.

Common flavors in lip balms

Flavored lip balms are available in hundreds of flavors. But few among them are favorite to people like mint flavored, apple cider flavored, banana flavored, chocolate flavored, almond flavored, strawberry flavored, raspberry flavored, brandy flavored, brown sugar flavored, butter cream flavored, cherry flavored etc… A lip balm is made flavored by adding the essential flavors into the base ingredients of the lip balm. Every lip balm is made of a base ingredient such as petroleum jelly or beeswax. Some lip balms are added with natural flavors and some with artificial. Natural flavors are more preferred by people to avoid possible side effects and health issues. Some flavors are fruit extracts and which are favorite to many.

Promotional use of flavored lip balms

Even companies that promote their brands through products like lip balms prefer flavored lip balms over typical unflavored lip balms. Customers prefer the companies who innovatively distribute varieties of lip balms. The psychological aspect of variety works very well here. People always like to be gifted variety items. If there are no alternative products, then the only option is to make modifications in the product itself and thus; flavoring is the most suitable option to have multiple kinds of lip balms. Lip balms are used by majority of people in the society. Everyone may not like the typical unflavored lip balm or a particular flavor. A dislike towards a promotional gift may adversely affect the company which gifted the item. Supplying flavored lip balms meet this issue to a great degree by offering the option of various flavors which may fit each person’s likes.

Homemade Lip Balms For Small Scale Industries

Lip balms are, indeed, great brand promotional materials. They help the brands to publicize the brands and products with a wellness approach. Bigger brands order customized lip balms in bulk from any of the suppliers and distribute them among all the common users. But what if a small scale industry wants to promote their products through such products? Availing lip balms in bulk will be costly and small-scale industries may not require such bulk quantity as the targeted customers are limited compared to a big brand. An effective option is to create own promotional lip balm with low cost. Homemade lip balms can attract customers greatly also can be customized as per your requirements. It is not a hectic task to make lip balms at home, as most of the ingredients can be purchased from the local stores. Let us see the procedure of making lip balms at home:

Making lip balms at home

You need to have an essential base for lip balms. Beeswax or petroleum jelly is the common lip balm bases. Both beeswax and petroleum jelly could be availed easily from a local store. Both these products have proved advantages of blocking dangerous rays from sun and preventing cuts and cracks on the skin. Beeswax and petroleum jelly have medicinal effects also as they cure most of the lip related issues. Once the base is ready, now you need some ingredients that chemical or medicinal content that protects the skin as well as cure the issues on lips. Vitamin E is a common ingredient used in lip balms for its exclusive medicinal effects. Purchase the tubes of vitamin E from a medical store. Now you need some flavors to add to your lip balms. Make sure that your flavor is certified by authorities as poison free and side effects free. Once all the ingredients are at hand you can start the procedure of making your product. Combine petroleum jelly with beeswax. For a cup of jelly an ounce of beeswax is sufficient. Melt the mixture at for few minutes. Add the vitamin content in to the mixture and later the flavors. Cool the mixture and transfer into the lip tube containers. Now your product is ready for distribution.

Advantages of homemade lip balms

Homemade lip balms have many advantages compared to lip balms purchased from a retail supplier. First of all you can be assured of the quality ingredients combined into the product. The end product is very much cost effective compared to the typical promotional lip balms. As the lip balm containers are availed for product manufacturing purpose, you can have any type of desired messages imprinted on them.

Lip Balm as a Medical Promotional Product

Lip balm, of course, is a much liked promotional product. Many popular brands use promotional lip balms to promote their business by gaining reputation and customer loyalty. Promotional lip balms can also be used as medical products or medical promotional products. To be clear, promotional medical products and medical promotional products differ in nature when the business types are considered. Promotional medical products are exclusive medical products that can be used to promote any business. For example, antiseptic face wash is a medicinal product which can be used to promote any brand. In the same way promotional medical promotional products are the promotional products used to promote medical related businesses.

Many firms use medical products to promote their products or services. Medical products are used because they help to keep society healthy and sound. They are also symbols of the company’s social commitment and responsibility. Lip balms are medical products since they help users to protect their lips from a number of disorders and health issues. Lips are delicate parts of human body, and can easily be affected by adverse weather conditions. A properly used lip balm will protect lips from possible cracks and pains. It is common among people to use lip products everyday and sometimes several times a day. The high level of usage of this product is utilized by brands to popularize their brands. When used as a promotional medical product lip balms can be used to promote any brand, product or service.

The medical industry is not limited to the healthcare institutions like hospitals; but a large number of related products and services combined is what makes up the medical industry. It is ideal for every medical related business to use medicinal products for promotion. A hospital or pharmacy can promote their business by gifting the customers with usable promotional products like lip balms. Lip balms help the customers grow in awareness of wellness. Medical products can effectively promote the medical industry since both the product and the industry are interrelated. Lip balms are cosmetic as well medicinal. This effective product has been used by brands for a long time for promotion.

Every promotional product is distributed among customers to gain brand reputation and popularity. Promotional medical products have two sided advantages when the results are concerned; they make effective brand promotional tools and they are a tool for promoting social health. The modern marketing strategies no longer include exploiting customers by gifting useless products to them; instead brands grow richer in commitment with the customers and society and distribute something that helps the customers in daily life. Lip balms are products of daily use. Providing lip balms to customers helps the brand gain loyalty and customers benefit from the free product. With assured use and increased visibility, lip balms can successfully promote brands and increase the business scope and double revenue.

Organic Lipstick: You Are What You Eat!

We’ve all heard the saying, “You are what you eat” and, as far as food is concerned, most people are taking a closer look at what they consume every day. Yet very few women consider that the lipstick they wear is ingested just as food is. Some statistics say that 3 to 7 pounds of lipstick may be consumed by the average woman in her lifetime, depending on how often she re-applies. That’s as much as five pints of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream!

In addition to the usual lineup of chemicals and toxins present in most cosmetics, many of the colors used in conventional lipsticks have been found to cause cancer in lab tests. Can you believe it? Women have been applying and re-applying toxic ingredients to their lips for years, and ingesting them!

Even some companies that use mineral pigments, instead of chemical colorants, are using irradiated minerals. These pigments are bombarded with radiation to disinfect them before use, even though it is just as effective to use a not-toxic method called High Temperature Disinfection. Who wouldn’t feel safer knowing their lipstick contains all natural mineral pigments that have been super-heated, instead of being polluted with unnecessary radiation?

It’s easy to see why so many women are falling for Vapour Organic Beauty’s Siren Lipstick. Siren is made with 70% Certified Organic ingredients and 30% natural vitamins and non-irradiated mineral pigments. Siren is designed to protect your lips from moisture loss and environmental assault while delivering hydrating Myrrh, Rose buds, healing Lemon Balm, antioxidant Pomegranate, soothing Jojoba oil and Camilina oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids.

So ladies, what’s on your lips?

Organic Lip Balms As Promotional Products

As people prefer to live organic today, they chose organic products too. Being aware of the fact that the world is facing a difficult situation of chemical emissions and increased chemical uses, most people prefer to retreat to a more nature friendly way of living. Many product even cosmetic products have declared their preference for nature friendly ingredients. Organic products are chosen as a symbol of commitments towards the nature and the society. At this juncture, great brands have made up minds and started distributing organic products wherever possible. It is most obvious when it comes to promotional products. Distributing organic products as brand promotional materials will increase a brands acceptance in the society and prove their social responsibility and commitment towards a healthy living.

Promotional lip balm being one among the most commonly distributed brand promotion products; brands have implemented innovative ways of manufacturing and distributing organic lip balms. Lip balms can be made organic in simple ways as many of the ingredients in a lip balm can be replaced with natural materials. A base is must for a lip balm. Beeswax is an effective base and is used in most of the lip balms. Another base used for lip balms is petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly is a chemical derived from petroleum based products. Beeswax can replace the use of petroleum jelly and can be more organic.

Another method of making a lip balm organic is to add natural flavors into it. Numerous flavors are available to add to lip balms. Fruit flavored, mint flavored, chocolate flavored… all are ways of naturalizing a lip balm. Such flavors will also create a feel of using an organic product in the user. Using organic ingredients have medicinal effects too. Many of the chemical and artificial ingredients are said to have side effects and burning sensations. The effects they put upon the lips is temporary and you need to be a frequent user of lip balms to maintain the glow and smoothness of lips. But organic lip balms provide permanent or long lasting results on lips. If used to cure chapped lips or cracked lips, organic products help the cure to last long and even prevent further cracks.

Natural awareness is not achieved on a single day as people are now habituated by using all artificial products. Small, yet daily use products like lip balms are great mediums of making them to be aware of the benefits of a natural living and organic products. Brand promotion through natural products helps the companies to promote their products as well leading the people to an organic way of life. It also helps them to promote social health.

Organic lip balms can be even manufactured at homes. Homemade lip balms are used by many people as guidelines to produce homemade organic lip balms are easily available and the ingredients can be purchased from a local store. Making and using homemade lips balms help the user to be assured of the quality of ingredients and harmlessness of the product.

Private Labels Lip Balms to Retain Customers

Today, every typical consumer gets number of promotional products and gifts on a daily basis. This makes effective brand promotion difficult. A brand cannot distribute any useless item as a promotional product and play on the sentiments of people. Customers are more brands conscious and choosy today. They do the same when promotional products are considered. If you need to succeed you should have something very unique and useful for your customers as promotional gifts. Unique items always grab attention. Lip balms are common promotional products, but private label lip balms are exclusive in scope and nature. They are nothing but, as the name suggests, lip balms with customized labels. The labels can hold any private or promotional message or images. Most lip balm suppliers offer absolutely free artwork setup on the lip balm labels.

Let us see what exactly private label promotional lip balm is and where all they find applications. Private label lip balms differ from the common promotional lip balms as the former hold unique and specific content on the labels. Designed and manufactured for particular occasions and purposes, they are printed with private labels. A private label promotional lip balm can be used for both business use and personal use. A private label lip balm can be given as a gift to friends and also brands can use them as promotional products.

Private label lip balms are effective to distribute at occasions and specific events. At events, there will be a large number of people attending. Distributing private label lip balms at such events help brand messages reach a maximum number of people with low effort. Private label lip balms can be printed with any required message or images. If the event is not commercial, but personal, then the organizers can utilize private label lip balms to spread wishes, announcements or any messages with lip balms. It is the label that serves the purpose of promotion when lip balms are considered.

Private label lip balms can be attained from any professional suppliers. The customers have to order the lip balms and provide the desired design and messages. Most lip balm stores will set up the labels free of cost. A great advantage of private label lip balm is that they help brands to announce any specific product or service. They are also useful for announcing the launch of products or special events. Certain promotions are short term. For example, the launch of a product or event announcement need not run throughout the year. Private label lip balms help such short term promotions effectively.

Utilizing the usability and popularity of lip balms, brands can promote their business effectively. Lip balms are products used by almost everyone in the society. Thus a lip balm promotion will surely help building brand reputation and business.

Cosmetics Article

Cosmetics Article
Mineral Makeup Cosmetics Vs. Chemical Cosmetics

This article provides you with information of mineral makeup products and why it is opted over chemical products. In the past women enhanced their beauty and appeal with the use of such products. They had great healing powers and this is the reason why women in the past looked naturally beautiful. Mineral makeup products have resurfaced to catch the attention of the modern woman. Cosmetic brands are catering to their present needs as these products safely protect without any kind of side-effects!

Paraben Free Cosmetics: What You Need to Know

Parabens are synthetic preservatives (methylparaben, propylparaben, isoparaben, and butylparaben) that easily and cheaply preserve personal care products for up to 2 years. Parabens can be found in every sort of personal care product including color cosmetics, skin care, deodorant, and hair care.

The problem with parabens is that they are absorbed in to the skin and accumulate in the body. This build up of parabens in the body can increase our “toxic-load” and may contribute to disease. Parabens may cause skin irritation, influence breast cancer, and are recognized endocrine disruptors.

The body sees parabens as estrogen (xenoestrogens – a foreign estrogen). Parabens can disrupt the endocrine system, affect fetal development, and are especially harmful to children’s developing bodies. Multiple studies have discovered parabens in breast cancer tumors. Parabens have also been found to cause heart tissue problems over time.

The good news is that Vapour Organic Beauty offers only paraben-free cosmetics. Vapour cosmetics have a standard 2-year shelf life, made possible with anti-microbial herbs and a formulation that never uses water. Waterless formulation means there is no water to allow bacteria, fungi and viruses to thrive. The combination of a water-free product and anti-microbial herbs results in a safe, superiorly preserved product.

We encourage you to read labels and understand what you are putting on and in your body. We encourage you to make informed choices and to avoid parabens to decrease your body's overall toxic load.

Promotional Lip Balms And Its Marketing Appeal

Today, in the business world, competition is the factor that rules. Companies have to compete with so many similar products to grab a potential customer. They attempt even the least possible marketing techniques to bag highest number of customers to increase the graph levels of profit. Promotional products are widely used by firms to promote their brands. There are several effective brand promoting products. Promotional lip balm is one among the most favorite brand promotion items. Promotional lip balms help companies to gain the loyalty and affection in a healthy way. Lip balms being used by large share of the society, they can be very much effective in announcing brand names and messages.

Promotional lip balm are mainly being used by women than men when compared. If your business targets women customers than men, then lip balms are priceless marketing tool. No women may dislike being offered a promotional lip balm. Cosmetic products always are more appealing to women than men. Women carry many cosmetics in their hand bags as they are more beauty conscious. A promotional lip balm is an inevitable accessory in any woman’s hand bag. Companies can target this aspect of female customers and tackle it for increased sales.

Promotional lip balms are freebie. They, being products of daily use, will be welcomed by all positively. Lip balms can assure the use of them by the receiver and thus inviting the attention on the imprinted messages or brand names. What comes freely is accepted by most. This psychological aspect is worked out in providing free promotional lip balm as brand promotion tools. If you gift an item which a person may confront with rarely, may not be effective in marketing a product. Daily use items and personal care products are always valuable from a marketing point of view.

Lip balms have decent ad space on the bottle. A company can imprint the logo, brand name or specific messages on them. Even custom made containers are available from a promotional lip balm supplier. Such product will impose your brand name to the user. A company can customize the containers with desired shape, theme and color. Even availing containers in the shape of your logo is possible. Lip balms being daily use products, have wider possibility of people looking at the message several times a day and not forgetting your brand anytime, especially when they are in need of a product similar to yours.

Companies can gain the loyalty of existing customers even by distributing gifs like promotional lip balms. Once received a gift from you, they will develop an attachment to your organization and products. This feeling of oneness will make them your ever retained customers. Their loyalty will bring in more new customers through the word of mouth advertising. Especially woman are pleased with gifts offered to them. Thus, lip balms have a direct advertisement effect and indirect psychological result. Distributing lip balms even in bulk will cost minimal expense, thus companies can cheaply gain public attention.

Safety of Mineral Makeup

Healthy, glowing skin is the result of many factors, including the quality of the products you use daily. Imagine putting sticky black coal tar on your face – you would never do it! But coal tar, a by-product of steel production, is an FD&C coloring ingredient used in many cosmetics. There’s absolutely nothing good to say about this ingredient. Coal tars contain benzene and phenols, known carcinogens. Also, in steel production, coal tar residues pollute our air.

However bad coal tar is, its use in cosmetics has been "grandfathered" in, due to irregularities in the FDA regulations. And companies that use coal tar can mislead consumers by saying it’s safe. Many companies label their FD&C colored children's products as “non-toxic.”

Vapour Organic Beauty does not use potentially hazardous, lab-created FD&C or Lake colorants. Our color comes from ancient, natural mineral pigments, such as iron oxide, which comes from the earth and has been used as a colorant since prehistoric times. Thanks to archeology, we now know that early humans used mineral pigments for paint and body decoration.

And our minerals look gorgeous on you! Unlike mineral powder makeup that collects in lines & pores, our minerals are suspended in an organic base that maintains integrity of coverage and enhances natural beauty.

Check out Atmosphere Luminous Foundation and Atmosphere Soft Focus Foundation, two products you can feel great about using on your skin.

THE LAUNCH OF NEW MAKEUP AND SKIN CARE LINES IN SOUTH FLORIDA BY 3 WOMEN

They all have day jobs: Shira Kastan lobbies for a university. Leslie Munsell applies makeup for photo shoots and co-owns a hair salon. And Tracy Wilson Mourning heads a charity, filling her schedule with philanthropic endeavors.

All three are busy, high-energy professional South Florida women — who still found time this year to launch new makeup and skin care lines, fulfilling their entrepreneurial dreams and tapping into an industry many feel is less sensitive to a recession.

Formulating the products with the help of outsourced manufacturers, designing the packaging, creating a logo and website, marketing and selling to distributors — all have taken loads of time, effort and resources.
But all three women are excited to harness their creativity in a new direction, mixing business with beauty, offering something different to enhance a women’s daily aesthetic ritual.

“I think there’s a market for it,” Kastan said. “I think women will still splurge on themselves. And they should.”
Experts agree that the beauty business, while highly competitive, is an industry ripe for new small businesses. Unlike some other types of start-ups, contract manufacturing helps drive new enterprises and keep costs down.
“There’s always an opportunity for somebody with an idea to start up a cosmetics company,” said Jeff Falk, editor of Global Cosmetic Industry, a trade publication based in Carol Stream, Ill. “It’s a self-regulated industry, so there’s responsibility in launching a company and a line, but there are not some of the hurdles you might have to go through to get a food on the shelf or an over-the-counter drug.”

Psychological Aspects Of Promotional Printed Lip Balms

Every promotion, especially business promotion, works depended on certain human psychological aspects. Direct promotion is almost impossible, utilizing customers as the essential marketing manpower, as, unless paid for, no typical customer will be willing to hold your promotional materials and directly publicize your brand name and services. The only way is to catch hold on the psychological aspect and deviate to an indirect marketing mode by pleasing the customers with usable gifts; thus the public use of the supplied gifts will talk to the crowd of your brand through the imprinted logos, messages, or names of your brand. Now coming to the gender aspect, female members of the society carry along more tools and equipments than male counterparts; thus targeting female customers is more effective to promote a brand through such gifts. Cosmetics items, personal utility tools etc… can prove effective promotional items.

Colorful prints attract eyes

It is a psychological fact that colorful prints attract human eyes easily. When products like promotional lip balm come with printed messages they grab public attention with no effort. Promotional products and branding companies utilize this aspect of human mind. Promotional products are printed with unique logos or messages to find its way into human memory and thus gaining popularity and reputation for the particular brand. Branding messages render a different look to the containers of gifted products, which also will attract people.

People appreciate free gifts

Promotional products are most of the times gifted freely to the customers. People love being gifted articles and a brand that gifts objects can gain reputation. Somebody who gifts people with anything will be given a special loyalty and consideration at least at the instances of using the gifted items. Brands can bag this reputation by distributing promotional products to customers and can witness the increased sales. Lip balms and cosmetic products being daily use materials, people may have to spend a lot from their monthly budgets and promotional items reduce this cost. At this aspect of cost effectiveness also people may be psychologically influenced by promotional gifts.

Personalization breeds affection

Most of the brands that use promotional products even offer personalized promotional products. You can have a product with your name or personal message imprinted on them. It is human nature that we love all the objects personalized or reserved for personal use. A personalized product may derive affection of the owner, so is the printed logo or brand on the product.

All the above mentioned methods are the psychological ways of making a brand liked by customers or making them carrying your bran promotional materials into the public. Though these are psychologically compulsive methods, they are indirect and the users are not to strain any extra nerve. In a way promotional products are useful to the customers as they are supplied freely to them and can be assured of the quality of the free gift as no company will ever attempt to supply cheap quality gifts damaging their own reputation.

Ooh La LORAC

As we head into September, the last of the fall collections that I hadn’t seen are popping up at Sephora (or I’m finally noticing them!)  I was lucky enough to get my hands on some of LORAC’s new offerings after checking it out in store and I’m all about their fabulous new products.  (LORAC and I have a long-standing history of fabulousness, so I’m glad to see that it’s still there).

Ooh La Lace Baked Shimmer & Matte Eye Shadow Palette is a really versatile palette that you can use to create looks for daytime, nighttime, or any occasion in between.  It comes with six shadows (three in each row) and what I like about it is that the rows are set up so that you can use each row to create a look separately, or mix and match the shades as you see fit.  I’ve been using the bottom row, which has more neutral shades of bronzes, to do my eyes for work, and I used the top row and its darker, more dramatic shades the other night when I was going out for drinks with some friends.  Here’s the full list of shadows – Lust (cream with shimmer), Smolder (matte gray), Risqu? (matte black), Stunner (light bronze with shimmer), Knockout (bronze with shimmer) and Racy (matte brown).  See what I mean?  You can tell how versatile the palette is just from reading those shade descriptions, but the shadows are also highly pigmented and blend like a dream, so it makes the $36 price tag even easier to justify.  And don’t even get me started on how cute the lace-wrapped box is!  I almost want to take it out at work and start putting on shadow again in the middle of the day just to show it off.  This one might have to be purchased a few extra times for Christmas gifts because I know a few of my friends and family members who would love them (none of whom are reading right now, hopefully!)

I also played around with their new Close Up: Real Life to Red Carpet Natural to Dramatic Face Tutorial.  (I think someone must’ve gotten paid by the word to name that!)  It’s a collection of five different products that you can use to create a full face look – a Starry-Eyed Baked Eye Shadow Trio in LORACstar, a Front Of The Line Pro in Black, a Multiplex 3D Lashes Mascara in Black, a Blush in Soul and a Couture Shine Liquid Lipstick in Trend Setter.  I really love the Trend Setter Liquid Lipstick.  It’s what I would call a bronzy-pink, so it’s the perfect neutral shade to wear during the daytime or pair with a smoky eye at night.  And I have yet to meet a Starry-Eyed Baked Shadow Trio that I haven’t loved, so LORACstar with its pinks and bronzes is right up my alley.  All the rest of the products are fabulous as well and they all go together nicely to create a finished look.  The set also comes with an easy to follow instruction booklet that shows you how to do both a natural day look and a dramatic night look – a nice bonus.  At only $39, it’s such a worthy purchase because the set has $120 worth of products in it.  Snatch one up now before they’re gone!

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Using Lip Balms

Many people are not aware of the effects of lips balm, though they use it. Lip balms are said to have several advantages as well disadvantages too. In fact, lip balms are conceptualized to have benefits on protecting lips from worse external conditions. The disadvantages mainly are because of the low manufacturing quality and wrong way of use. The proper awareness of the disadvantages and benefits of lip balms will help choosing the right product and using them on the way it is designed to be. As many business firms offer lib palms as promotional products the overall use the product has been increased. Promotional lip balm even make people to use them as frequently as they are distributed multiple times to them; that too, free of cost. Let us see the most obvious advantages and disadvantages of lip balms.

Advantages

Lip balms are great sunscreen agents. They help hazardous rays from sun not affecting the beauty and natural health of the lips. Cracks and moisture loss are the two common issues on lips. Properly applied lip balms help curing the cracks and retaining the moisture levels. Most of the lip balms contain alcohol substance which helps protecting the lips against bacterial attack. Sun block lip balms are proved to prevent ultraviolet rays from hurting the lips. Sun block lip balms have titanium dioxide and zinc oxide as the basic ingredients. They help preventing any dangerous rays contacting the lips directly.

Lip balms help to protect the natural health and beauty of the lips. It is a fact that many people use lip balms just for the cosmetic purpose. Lip balms come with flavored ingredients and also in different colors to color the lips. Glowing lip balms are another highly liked model as these products will give an extra layer of glow to the lips. They even have pleasing smell appealing the senses of the user. Another advantage of a lip balm is that they are cost effective products when both the health and aesthetic aspects are concerned. Lip balms are one among the most used products in the cosmetic line. They have become inevitable accessories in the hand bag of every woman, and some recent additions offer lip balms specially designed for men too. They are not gender specific products and both men and women can use them. But the same products may not be equally effective for men and women as the skin types differ.

Disadvantages

Disadvantages are few when the lip balms are considered. Many of such disadvantages arise from negligence in use and manufacturing of the lip balms. Lip balms made of low quality ingredients can harm the lips seriously. Such lip balms may dry out the lips instead moisturizing it. Lip balm addiction is another disadvantage usually seen with the use of them. Habitual use may develop an obsession towards lip balms.  Some companies manufacture lip balms considering only the beauty aspect, ignoring the health benefits and soft character of the skin. Such products, gradually, will damage the natural color, softness and glow of the lips.

Be Good to Yourself and Your Unborn Baby; Safe Makeup for Pregnancy

A baby growing in the womb ingests everything the mother consumes. Including, but not limited to, what the mother puts on her skin, face, hair and nails.

The body does a great job of protecting the fetus by filtering bacteria and germs through the placenta but there are some cosmetic ingredients that can make their way through to the developing fetus.  Salicylic Acid, Retinol A, Parabens, Phathalates, Benzoyl Peroxide, Accutane, Hydrocortison, Lead and Dioxane are found in most traditional cosmetic brands and can be harmful to the unborn, as well as the mother.  These chemicals are termed “mutagenic” – having the ability to damage the genes and chromosomes.

The FDA has band only nine chemicals from US cosmetics compared to the European Union which has banned more than 1000. A product that is labeled as being “natural” may be mixed with synthetic dyes or fragrances. Many expensive products are full of the same ingredients and harsh chemicals as the less expensive brands.  And, many “common” synthetic ingredients are now being linked to conditions such as allergies, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome, testicular abnormalities, decreased sperm count and breast cancer.

Have no fear…. Vapour Organic Beauty is the answer! Vapour revolutionizes luxury and performance cosmetics with Pure Organic Formulation, unique light-as-air technology and sophisticated color artistry. Made from natural mineral pigments suspended in Certified Organic botanicals, Vapour delivers the look of flawless, glowing skin without compromise.

Brand Promotion and Personal Care with Promotional Lip Balms

Nowadays, brand promotion is not just distributing any useless gift to the customers. The new trends define promotional gifts as something that helps the customers to replace a usable product with. Personal care products are ever favorite brand promotional tools. Lip balms, hand sanitizers, promotional umbrellas etc… are the most sought after promotional tools today. Promotional lip balms deserve special attention as they are most widely used personal care product for brand promotion. Lip balms are products used daily by both men and women. A fully personalized lip balm will favor every brand on a daily basis.

Using personal care products as promotional items have several advantages. Seldom used products may lack visibility of advertisement, if used as promotional product. A good promotional product should have frequent use. Personal care items are used on a daily basis and multiple times every day. This offers the advertisement being seen several times each day. Lip balm promotion happens in different ways. The container of the lip balm can be imprinted with the promotional messages or logo to spread the messages and gain reputation. It is the basic psychology behind advertisement that messages that are frequently used remain in the minds of the viewers. This theory is applied on promotion with personal care products.

Promoting the use of personal care products like lip balms is a symbol of the social commitment of the brand which promotes the use of it. Even medical professionals advice on the use of personal care products, as the society is more prone to deadly diseases today. By distributing personal care products brands can advertise their products effectively also initiate personal care and wellness awareness among society. Lip balms are usually carried along by people wherever they move around. They are used as cosmetic product too. This double faced use of lip balms provide them with added promotional value.

Organic lip balms are the latest trend in lip balms. It is the result of the eco-friendliness adapted by almost all the brands. Organic lip balms are purely natural and can be used by all without the fear of the side effects. This nature-friendly approach helps to generate awareness among people about the importance of protecting the nature and living in natural way. Brands, when using the natural products can proudly display their commitment towards social values. Chemical lip balms many a times cause serious side effects on few people.

Natural awareness, personal care, wellness approach etc… are achieved through the use of promotional lip balms. No other product offers so many benefits on a single product. Brand promotion, in the older times, was somehow announcing the brand name and spreading the messages in all the possible ways. But today the entire concept of brand promotion has changed into distributing products which are highly usable for the receivers.

Flavored Promotional Lip Balms

Flavored lip balms are the latest trend in promotional lip balm. Unflavored lip balms are said to develop lip balm addictions and dislike towards the use of lip balms. Lip balms in multiple flavors are available to purchase. Though the base content is the same in most of the lip balms, flavors make them feel distinct. Being used on lips added flavors make them taste pleasant than the typical taste of beeswax and petroleum jelly in the lip balms. Fruits, chocolates, mint etc… are commonly used flavors. Some flavors are even mood creating. People develop attachment towards certain flavors; thus companies are keen to distribute flavored lip balms as brand promoting products.

Benefits of flavored lip balms

The most important benefit of a flavored lip balm is that it doesn’t make an aversion in the user. Everyday use of the same flavor will create a dislike in the user gradually and people may stop using lip balms. On the opposite side, it is also said that the regular use of the same lip balm will create an addiction towards the particular kind and trying different varieties will wash away such addictions. Flavored lip balms make the user to taste and smell differently every day. Brands can create an image of distributing variety of products by supplying flavored lip balms replacing the monotonous unflavored lip balm.

Common flavors in lip balms

Flavored lip balms are available in hundreds of flavors. But few among them are favorite to people like mint flavored, apple cider flavored, banana flavored, chocolate flavored, almond flavored, strawberry flavored, raspberry flavored, brandy flavored, brown sugar flavored, butter cream flavored, cherry flavored etc… A lip balm is made flavored by adding the essential flavors into the base ingredients of the lip balm. Every lip balm is made of a base ingredient such as petroleum jelly or beeswax. Some lip balms are added with natural flavors and some with artificial. Natural flavors are more preferred by people to avoid possible side effects and health issues. Some flavors are fruit extracts and which are favorite to many.

Promotional use of flavored lip balms

Even companies that promote their brands through products like lip balms prefer flavored lip balms over typical unflavored lip balms. Customers prefer the companies who innovatively distribute varieties of lip balms. The psychological aspect of variety works very well here. People always like to be gifted variety items. If there are no alternative products, then the only option is to make modifications in the product itself and thus; flavoring is the most suitable option to have multiple kinds of lip balms. Lip balms are used by majority of people in the society. Everyone may not like the typical unflavored lip balm or a particular flavor. A dislike towards a promotional gift may adversely affect the company which gifted the item. Supplying flavored lip balms meet this issue to a great degree by offering the option of various flavors which may fit each person’s likes.

Lip balms are, indeed, great brand promotional materials. They help the brands to publicize the brands and products with a wellness approach. Bigger brands order customized lip balms in bulk from any of the suppliers and distribute them among all the common users. But what if a small scale industry wants to promote their products through such products? Availing lip balms in bulk will be costly and small-scale industries may not require such bulk quantity as the targeted customers are limited compared to a big brand. An effective option is to create own promotional lip balm with low cost. Homemade lip balms can attract customers greatly also can be customized as per your requirements.

Make sure that your flavor is certified by authorities as poison free and side effects free. Once all the ingredients are at hand you can start the procedure of making your product. Combine petroleum jelly with beeswax. For a cup of jelly an ounce of beeswax is sufficient. Melt the mixture at for few minutes. Add the vitamin content in to the mixture and later the flavors. Cool the mixture and transfer into the lip tube containers. Now your product is ready for distribution.

Advantages of homemade lip balms

Lip Balm as a Medical Promotional Product

Lip balm, of course, is a much liked promotional product. Many popular brands use promotional lip balms to promote their business by gaining reputation and customer loyalty. Promotional lip balms can also be used as medical products or medical promotional products. To be clear, promotional medical products and medical promotional products differ in nature when the business types are considered. Promotional medical products are exclusive medical products that can be used to promote any business. For example, antiseptic face wash is a medicinal product which can be used to promote any brand. In the same way promotional medical promotional products are the promotional products used to promote medical related businesses.

Many firms use medical products to promote their products or services. Medical products are used because they help to keep society healthy and sound. They are also symbols of the company’s social commitment and responsibility. Lip balms are medical products since they help users to protect their lips from a number of disorders and health issues. Lips are delicate parts of human body, and can easily be affected by adverse weather conditions. A properly used lip balm will protect lips from possible cracks and pains. It is common among people to use lip products everyday and sometimes several times a day. The high level of usage of this product is utilized by brands to popularize their brands. When used as a promotional medical product lip balms can be used to promote any brand, product or service.

The medical industry is not limited to the healthcare institutions like hospitals; but a large number of related products and services combined is what makes up the medical industry. It is ideal for every medical related business to use medicinal products for promotion. A hospital or pharmacy can promote their business by gifting the customers with usable promotional products like lip balms. Lip balms help the customers grow in awareness of wellness. Medical products can effectively promote the medical industry since both the product and the industry are interrelated. Lip balms are cosmetic as well medicinal. This effective product has been used by brands for a long time for promotion.

Every promotional product is distributed among customers to gain brand reputation and popularity. Promotional medical products have two sided advantages when the results are concerned; they make effective brand promotional tools and they are a tool for promoting social health. The modern marketing strategies no longer include exploiting customers by gifting useless products to them; instead brands grow richer in commitment with the customers and society and distribute something that helps the customers in daily life. Lip balms are products of daily use. Providing lip balms to customers helps the brand gain loyalty and customers benefit from the free product. With assured use and increased visibility, lip balms can successfully promote brands and increase the business scope and double revenue.

Organic Lipstick: You Are What You Eat!

We’ve all heard the saying, “You are what you eat” and, as far as food is concerned, most people are taking a closer look at what they consume every day. Yet very few women consider that the lipstick they wear is ingested just as food is. Some statistics say that 3 to 7 pounds of lipstick may be consumed by the average woman in her lifetime, depending on how often she re-applies. That’s as much as five pints of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream!

In addition to the usual lineup of chemicals and toxins present in most cosmetics, many of the colors used in conventional lipsticks have been found to cause cancer in lab tests. Can you believe it? Women have been applying and re-applying toxic ingredients to their lips for years, and ingesting them!

Even some companies that use mineral pigments, instead of chemical colorants, are using irradiated minerals. These pigments are bombarded with radiation to disinfect them before use, even though it is just as effective to use a not-toxic method called High Temperature Disinfection. Who wouldn’t feel safer knowing their lipstick contains all natural mineral pigments that have been super-heated, instead of being polluted with unnecessary radiation?

It’s easy to see why so many women are falling for Vapour Organic Beauty’s Siren Lipstick. Siren is made with 70% Certified Organic ingredients and 30% natural vitamins and non-irradiated mineral pigments. Siren is designed to protect your lips from moisture loss and environmental assault while delivering hydrating Myrrh, Rose buds, healing Lemon Balm, antioxidant Pomegranate, soothing Jojoba oil and Camilina oil, which is rich in essential fatty acids.

So ladies, what’s on your lips?

Organic Lip Balms As Promotional Products

As people prefer to live organic today, they chose organic products too. Being aware of the fact that the world is facing a difficult situation of chemical emissions and increased chemical uses, most people prefer to retreat to a more nature friendly way of living. Many product even cosmetic products have declared their preference for nature friendly ingredients. Organic products are chosen as a symbol of commitments towards the nature and the society. At this juncture, great brands have made up minds and started distributing organic products wherever possible. It is most obvious when it comes to promotional products. Distributing organic products as brand promotional materials will increase a brands acceptance in the society and prove their social responsibility and commitment towards a healthy living.

Promotional lip balm being one among the most commonly distributed brand promotion products; brands have implemented innovative ways of manufacturing and distributing organic lip balms. Lip balms can be made organic in simple ways as many of the ingredients in a lip balm can be replaced with natural materials. A base is must for a lip balm. Beeswax is an effective base and is used in most of the lip balms. Another base used for lip balms is petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly is a chemical derived from petroleum based products. Beeswax can replace the use of petroleum jelly and can be more organic.

Another method of making a lip balm organic is to add natural flavors into it. Numerous flavors are available to add to lip balms. Fruit flavored, mint flavored, chocolate flavored… all are ways of naturalizing a lip balm. Such flavors will also create a feel of using an organic product in the user. Using organic ingredients have medicinal effects too. Many of the chemical and artificial ingredients are said to have side effects and burning sensations. The effects they put upon the lips is temporary and you need to be a frequent user of lip balms to maintain the glow and smoothness of lips. But organic lip balms provide permanent or long lasting results on lips. If used to cure chapped lips or cracked lips, organic products help the cure to last long and even prevent further cracks.

Natural awareness is not achieved on a single day as people are now habituated by using all artificial products. Small, yet daily use products like lip balms are great mediums of making them to be aware of the benefits of a natural living and organic products. Brand promotion through natural products helps the companies to promote their products as well leading the people to an organic way of life. It also helps them to promote social health.

Organic lip balms can be even manufactured at homes. Homemade lip balms are used by many people as guidelines to produce homemade organic lip balms are easily available and the ingredients can be purchased from a local store. Making and using homemade lips balms help the user to be assured of the quality of ingredients and harmlessness of the product.

Private Labels Lip Balms to Retain Customers

Today, every typical consumer gets number of promotional products and gifts on a daily basis. This makes effective brand promotion difficult. A brand cannot distribute any useless item as a promotional product and play on the sentiments of people. Customers are more brands conscious and choosy today. They do the same when promotional products are considered. If you need to succeed you should have something very unique and useful for your customers as promotional gifts. Unique items always grab attention. Lip balms are common promotional products, but private label lip balms are exclusive in scope and nature. They are nothing but, as the name suggests, lip balms with customized labels. The labels can hold any private or promotional message or images. Most lip balm suppliers offer absolutely free artwork setup on the lip balm labels.

Let us see what exactly private label promotional lip balm is and where all they find applications. Private label lip balms differ from the common promotional lip balms as the former hold unique and specific content on the labels. Designed and manufactured for particular occasions and purposes, they are printed with private labels. A private label promotional lip balm can be used for both business use and personal use. A private label lip balm can be given as a gift to friends and also brands can use them as promotional products.

Private label lip balms are effective to distribute at occasions and specific events. At events, there will be a large number of people attending. Distributing private label lip balms at such events help brand messages reach a maximum number of people with low effort. Private label lip balms can be printed with any required message or images. If the event is not commercial, but personal, then the organizers can utilize private label lip balms to spread wishes, announcements or any messages with lip balms. It is the label that serves the purpose of promotion when lip balms are considered.

Private label lip balms can be attained from any professional suppliers. The customers have to order the lip balms and provide the desired design and messages. Most lip balm stores will set up the labels free of cost. A great advantage of private label lip balm is that they help brands to announce any specific product or service. They are also useful for announcing the launch of products or special events. Certain promotions are short term. For example, the launch of a product or event announcement need not run throughout the year. Private label lip balms help such short term promotions effectively.

Utilizing the usability and popularity of lip balms, brands can promote their business effectively. Lip balms are products used by almost everyone in the society. Thus a lip balm promotion will surely help building brand reputation and business.

Mineral Makeup Cosmetics Vs. Chemical Cosmetics

This article provides you with information of mineral makeup products and why it is opted over chemical products. In the past women enhanced their beauty and appeal with the use of such products. They had great healing powers and this is the reason why women in the past looked naturally beautiful. Mineral makeup products have resurfaced to catch the attention of the modern woman. Cosmetic brands are catering to their present needs as these products safely protect without any kind of side-effects!

Paraben Free Cosmetics: What You Need to Know

Parabens are synthetic preservatives (methylparaben, propylparaben, isoparaben, and butylparaben) that easily and cheaply preserve personal care products for up to 2 years. Parabens can be found in every sort of personal care product including color cosmetics, skin care, deodorant, and hair care.

The problem with parabens is that they are absorbed in to the skin and accumulate in the body. This build up of parabens in the body can increase our “toxic-load” and may contribute to disease. Parabens may cause skin irritation, influence breast cancer, and are recognized endocrine disruptors.

The body sees parabens as estrogen (xenoestrogens – a foreign estrogen). Parabens can disrupt the endocrine system, affect fetal development, and are especially harmful to children’s developing bodies. Multiple studies have discovered parabens in breast cancer tumors. Parabens have also been found to cause heart tissue problems over time.

The good news is that Vapour Organic Beauty offers only paraben-free cosmetics. Vapour cosmetics have a standard 2-year shelf life, made possible with anti-microbial herbs and a formulation that never uses water. Waterless formulation means there is no water to allow bacteria, fungi and viruses to thrive. The combination of a water-free product and anti-microbial herbs results in a safe, superiorly preserved product.

We encourage you to read labels and understand what you are putting on and in your body. We encourage you to make informed choices and to avoid parabens to decrease your body's overall toxic load.

Promotional lip balms are freebie. They, being products of daily use, will be welcomed by all positively.

Such product will impose your brand name to the user. A company can customize the containers with desired shape, theme and color. Even availing containers in the shape of your logo is possible. Lip balms being daily use products, have wider possibility of people looking at the message several times a day and not forgetting your brand anytime, especially when they are in need of a product similar to yours.

Safety of Mineral Makeup

Healthy, glowing skin is the result of many factors, including the quality of the products you use daily. Imagine putting sticky black coal tar on your face – you would never do it! But coal tar, a by-product of steel production, is an FD&C coloring ingredient used in many cosmetics. There’s absolutely nothing good to say about this ingredient. Coal tars contain benzene and phenols, known carcinogens. Also, in steel production, coal tar residues pollute our air.

However bad coal tar is, its use in cosmetics has been "grandfathered" in, due to irregularities in the FDA regulations. And companies that use coal tar can mislead consumers by saying it’s safe. Many companies label their FD&C colored children's products as “non-toxic.”

Vapour Organic Beauty does not use potentially hazardous, lab-created FD&C or Lake colorants. Our color comes from ancient, natural mineral pigments, such as iron oxide, which comes from the earth and has been used as a colorant since prehistoric times. Thanks to archeology, we now know that early humans used mineral pigments for paint and body decoration.

And our minerals look gorgeous on you! Unlike mineral powder makeup that collects in lines & pores, our minerals are suspended in an organic base that maintains integrity of coverage and enhances natural beauty.

Check out Atmosphere Luminous Foundation and Atmosphere Soft Focus Foundation, two products you can feel great about using on your skin.

THE LAUNCH OF NEW MAKEUP AND SKIN CARE LINES IN SOUTH FLORIDA BY 3 WOMEN

They all have day jobs: Shira Kastan lobbies for a university. Leslie Munsell applies makeup for photo shoots and co-owns a hair salon. And Tracy Wilson Mourning heads a charity, filling her schedule with philanthropic endeavors.

All three are busy, high-energy professional South Florida women — who still found time this year to launch new makeup and skin care lines, fulfilling their entrepreneurial dreams and tapping into an industry many feel is less sensitive to a recession.

Formulating the products with the help of outsourced manufacturers, designing the packaging, creating a logo and website, marketing and selling to distributors — all have taken loads of time, effort and resources.
But all three women are excited to harness their creativity in a new direction, mixing business with beauty, offering something different to enhance a women’s daily aesthetic ritual.

“I think there’s a market for it,” Kastan said. “I think women will still splurge on themselves. And they should.”
Experts agree that the beauty business, while highly competitive, is an industry ripe for new small businesses. Unlike some other types of start-ups, contract manufacturing helps drive new enterprises and keep costs down.
“There’s always an opportunity for somebody with an idea to start up a cosmetics company,” said Jeff Falk, editor of Global Cosmetic Industry, a trade publication based in Carol Stream, Ill. “It’s a self-regulated industry, so there’s responsibility in launching a company and a line, but there are not some of the hurdles you might have to go through to get a food on the shelf or an over-the-counter drug.”

Psychological Aspects Of Promotional Printed Lip Balms

Every promotion, especially business promotion, works depended on certain human psychological aspects. Direct promotion is almost impossible, utilizing customers as the essential marketing manpower, as, unless paid for, no typical customer will be willing to hold your promotional materials and directly publicize your brand name and services. The only way is to catch hold on the psychological aspect and deviate to an indirect marketing mode by pleasing the customers with usable gifts; thus the public use of the supplied gifts will talk to the crowd of your brand through the imprinted logos, messages, or names of your brand. Now coming to the gender aspect, female members of the society carry along more tools and equipments than male counterparts; thus targeting female customers is more effective to promote a brand through such gifts. Cosmetics items, personal utility tools etc… can prove effective promotional items.

Colorful prints attract eyes

It is a psychological fact that colorful prints attract human eyes easily. When products like promotional lip balm come with printed messages they grab public attention with no effort. Promotional products and branding companies utilize this aspect of human mind. Promotional products are printed with unique logos or messages to find its way into human memory and thus gaining popularity and reputation for the particular brand. Branding messages render a different look to the containers of gifted products, which also will attract people.

People appreciate free gifts

Promotional products are most of the times gifted freely to the customers. People love being gifted articles and a brand that gifts objects can gain reputation. Somebody who gifts people with anything will be given a special loyalty and consideration at least at the instances of using the gifted items. Brands can bag this reputation by distributing promotional products to customers and can witness the increased sales. Lip balms and cosmetic products being daily use materials, people may have to spend a lot from their monthly budgets and promotional items reduce this cost. At this aspect of cost effectiveness also people may be psychologically influenced by promotional gifts.

Personalization breeds affection

Most of the brands that use promotional products even offer personalized promotional products. You can have a product with your name or personal message imprinted on them. It is human nature that we love all the objects personalized or reserved for personal use. A personalized product may derive affection of the owner, so is the printed logo or brand on the product.

All the above mentioned methods are the psychological ways of making a brand liked by customers or making them carrying your bran promotional materials into the public. Though these are psychologically compulsive methods, they are indirect and the users are not to strain any extra nerve. In a way promotional products are useful to the customers as they are supplied freely to them and can be assured of the quality of the free gift as no company will ever attempt to supply cheap quality gifts damaging their own reputation.
