Wearing makeup when you have oily skin can be troubling at times. I know because I have extremely oily skin myself, so I’m constantly looking in the mirror every couple of hours to see if my nose is glaring. I’ve asked my dermatologist if there is anything he could prescribe to suppress the production of oil, and unfortunately his response was “no”. He did point out that I will still look great at 50 years old, which does help the situation.

Over the years I’ve learned how to cope with some very useful products and tips that I’m sure will benefit you as well:

1. Blot powder – This is a wonderful product that I carry around with me everyday in my purse. It comes in a compact with a powder puff, similar to sheer powder. Instead of touching up with more makeup or sheer powder, I use blot powder. It’s translucent, so I can get rid of the oiliness without caking more makeup onto my face. Another advantage is that my makeup lasts longer because I’m not reapplying it throughout the day.

2. Blotting papers – These can be found anywhere – from beauty supply stores to cosmetic counters. These are small oil-absorbing sheets of paper that come in a small package that you can easily carry around with you throughout the day. All you have to do is dab the oily areas of your face – typically the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. The papers will absorb the oil without leaving a powdery substance on your face or removing your makeup.

3. Oil-control lotion – You can purchase this at almost any cosmetic counter. It’s very easy to apply and you can wear it under your makeup. Just dab a little on the oily areas of your face and blend outward. It controls shine and provides a matte finish. Most oil-control lotions work really well, but you may have to decrease the use if you find that your skin gets dry and starts flaking.

4. Facial Tissue – When all else fails, grab a sheet of tissue paper! Besides using a blot powder, facial tissue is another product that I use throughout the day as well. Most are 2-ply, but it works better if you separate them and use 1-ply. They’re almost as useful as the blotting papers, and a lot cheaper too! Try to avoid buying ones that have fragrance or color because it may irritate your skin and cause breakouts.

5. Cleanser/Moisturizer – Neither of these will absorb oil or block out the production, but they should be part of your everyday skincare routine. Always opt for a cleanser that is oil-free, and there are some great ones that are specifically made for oily skin. Your moisturizer should be water based with SPF15 or greater and be labeled as “noncomedogenic”. Your cleansing and moisturizing routine should be implemented morning and night to avoid clogging pores.

6. Foundation makeup – Should be labeled “oil free” to prevent adding unnecessary oil to your face. Because I love a matte look, my everyday foundation contains powder, and comes in a powder compact. Foundation that is water-based or oil free come in various shades for many cosmetics lines, so you shouldn’t have a problem finding one that is right for you.

In the sizzling climate women wears sandals year around. Having professional pedicure is impossible for some of us during this tightening belt season, having toenails with chipped nail polish are just not attractive.

There are some examples of fashion mistakes that are totally not acceptable, but were once in fashion style.

There are few mistakes which you should avoid:

Cracked heels and chipped toenails
In the sizzling climate women wears sandals year around. Having professional pedicure is impossible for some of us during this tightening belt season, having toenails with chipped nail polish are just not attractive. And worse will be the cracked heels. It takes very little money, effort or time to fill a bucket with warm water and salts, grab a nail file and pumice stone, and finish it at home pedicure with a foot massage using Vaseline or lotion, apply 2 coats of clear nail polish, and you’re done in about a half hour.

Sunglasses
How the ‘trend’ started it’s unsure, but how is it possible to wear colored shades at night and be able to see anything?

Wrong accessories
If the outfit is cheap or plain even that can make you stand out in a crowd with the right fashion accessories. Necklaces which are of the right length are stylish, and even more so when paired with matching bangles. For example, the shorter the chain, the larger your neck will appear. If you wear so many bangles that your arm is no longer visible, remove a few; wearing some bangles on one hand is enough. Wearing so many of a good thing can quickly turn your outfit into a fashion ‘no- no’. If you’re wearing huge earrings, what I like to call door knockers, skip the necklace. Handbags and purses are also pieces to completing an outfit, but for evening wear, use a shiny, stylish purse rather than a slouchy, oversized bag. Save that huge bag for schoolbooks, your laptop, or when you travel.

Makeup
During carnival, excess applying makeup is certainly an exception, but throughout the rest of the year, it is inappropriate to apply three to four shades of eye shadow with 5 inch fake eye lashes, unless you are a professional clown. It is certainly not the right look for the office. There are numerous modeling websites that offer tutorials on applying eye makeup such as my favorite, The Queen of Blending. Save the sparkle and bright hues for Carnival Tuesday or Friday night at Zen. Try mineral powders that are hypoallergenic and healthy for your skin, rather than makeup bases that stop up your pores.

Turtlenecks
Even if the air conditioning in your office is frosty, turtlenecks are just not fashionable. You can choose options to keep you warm in the office such as a classy cardigan, a huge shawl, or a business jacket. If you wear a turtleneck it will only hide your neck. It does nothing for your figure, and just looks funny.
In short, the general fashion rule is less is more. Just because something is in fashion style it doesn’t mean you have to purchase every fashion trend that is current or that is on display on the mannequins. It’s important to be honest about your body type, and purchase clothes, shoes and accessories that match your skin tone, frame, and budget. You have to choose wisely.

Princess Cruise Ships cover one of the broadest ranges of ships on the seas. From large to small, Princess has it all. But with eighteen ships to choose from in the Princess line alone, deciding which ship suits you can be quite a job.

Princess has several very popular ships that are small—at least, as compared to some of their other ships. The Pacific Princess (670 passengers), Tahitian Princess (670 passengers) and Royal Princess (710 passengers) all offer the great service of Princess Lines, but with a more intimate feel.

Princess calls these smaller ships “small ship feel, big ship experience”. The Tahitian Princess sails in the South Pacific, to Hawaii, French Polynesia, and yes, Tahiti. The Pacific Princess sails to a much broader range of destinations including Alaska, Asia, Australia and Europe. The final smaller ship, the Royal Princess, sails in southern Europe and South America.

One of the newest Princess cruise ships is also the largest. The Crown Princess, christened by Martha Stewart in June of 2006, is 951 feet long and can cruise with an amazing 3,080 passengers. She has 14 passenger decks and over 1500 rooms. Sailing primarily in the Caribbean and northern Europe, the Crown Princess lives up to her name with a putting course, an ice cream bar, and even an art auction.

Many of the larger ships offer unique activities. Princess is the only cruise line to offer three distinct age-appropriate activities for youngsters. Princess Pelicans is for the youngest set and offers t-shirt coloring and other arts and crafts, pajama parties and kids-only dinners.

Shockwaves is for the tween crowd. Scavenger hunts, movie and video games, and “Science on the Seas”, which was developed in conjunction with the California Science Center will keep this age group busy and entertained. Remix is the program developed for the teenagers on board. Remix teens get their own (alcohol-free) lounge area, evening dance parties, teen formals, and the only Teen Makeover program with skin and makeup tips.

On certain ships the offerings go even farther, with the Jr. CHEF Sea Program. Children get to go into one of the actual shipboard kitchens and prepare simple dishes. On Alaska cruises, the ships offer the Junior Ranger/Teen Explorer program which explores the delicate ecosystems of Glacier Bay and the Alaskan wilderness.

The range of activities for adults is even broader. Of course the choices vary by ship, but some possibilities include: swimming or sunning by one of the numerous pools; ScholarShip @ Sea, where you can take short classes; a well-stocked library for your reading pleasure; or the Sanctuary, an adults-only escape area with light meals and beverages, spa service, and attention to your every need.

At night there are Broadway-style shows, dancing, parties and movies. Of course there are also numerous bar and lounges where you can enjoy a drink—alcoholic or not—and the company of friends or that special someone.

No matter how much activity or relaxation you’re looking for, Princess cruise ships can undoubtedly fill the bill. Start planning your getaway today.
