Welcome beauty school fans and friends to the first segment in a four part series where we get up close and personal with a woman's warpaint...make-up and the products that go beneath it The  has taken on a life of its own and producing revenues that would make the bitter lady I met in the unemployment line consumed with rage. In 2007, the G-8 (Global 8) which consists of the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Russia, and Japan collectively valued the make-up industry at $18.3 billion. During a time when food stamps are not just something you read about but are now applying for, the make-up industry continues to make money hand over fist.

So what are the feel good products we are using to distract ourselves from the financial stressors that can sometimes pop up on are face in the form of a nasty zit? The first product that I would like to pass along is Dermologica's Overnight Clearing Gel. A must have when you feel a monster zit coming on....apply to the danger zone before bedtime and watch the zit magically disappear!
