Break Up With Your Makeup + Sweepstakes

June 25, 2014


Break Up With Your Makeup Mirvaso

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought to yourself “WOW. I look like a giant tomato!” because I certainly have. It’s not cute and it causes me to have to pile on the product from concealers to powders to try and cover up my redness. While I have not been diagnosed with rosacea I can definitely relate in the redness department, it comes with complexion.  I am a super pale girl and with that comes this redness in my face in any situation where I not sleeping. The outer rim of my nose, my chin, my cheeks and my forehead are super prone to redness. For me, it’s something that I try and conceal as much as I can but at the end of the day, it’s still there because the make up is only a mask. Nothing is being done to actually heal and prevent my redness. Mirvaso is giving you the opportunity to Break Up With Your Makeup (don’t be scared, I promise it’s awesome) and stop concealing and start healing!

Rosacea is a common, inflammatory skin condition. It affects an estimated 16 million Americans, more women have rosacea than men. If you’re one of those who suffer from rosacea, I think Mirvaso would be a great product for you to test out. I love playing with my makeup but having a proper skincare routine to heal and prevent is something I am very passionate about.

Break Up With Your Makeup Infographic

Have you been covering up your facial redness instead of treating it? You are not alone. I am right there with you and so are 4 in 5 (82%) other roascea sufferers and using cosmetics to cover up redness with no results. The makeup is just covering it and not treating it. It’s also becoming quite costly, right? On average, rosacea sufferers spend $36 on a single non-prescription product that promises to hide or cover-up facial redness. That is mind blowing to me, a cheapie at heart. Why spend all this money to just cover it up when I can grab something that will heal it.  Mirvaso® (brimonidine) Topical Gel, 0.33%* is the first and only gel specifically developed and proven to reduce the persistent facial redness of rosacea.

MIRVASO

Mirvaso is an easy-to-use daily gel that shows results quickly and lasts for up to 12 hours.  Proven results that were reviewed by the FDA for safety and efficacy. And, depending on your insurance, prescription copays may be as low as $25 and go up from there. Don’t be afraid to check with your dermatologist and start spending your money on healing rather than just concealing.

Break Up With Your Makeup Skincare Tips

Great tips, yes? I love the stay hydrated tip since I am a firm believer in putting into your body what you expect to get back from it. Drinking the right amount of water each day is going to really do wonders for your skin!

I said sweepstakes, so I know y’all are excited to hear about it! Want to go to the Emmy’s? Mirvaso is giving you a chance! You can check out their sweepstakes page here for more information and your chance to win!

    That’s so funny, “I look like a tomato”! When I was a little girl, it looked like I had jam on my cheeks. My mother called it “wind burn”. Fortunately, I don’t have rosacea, but I do have some pink in my cheeks which is OK with me. However, I see so many people including lots of men who clearly have untreated rosacea. It’s wonderful to get the word out about treatment options like this medication.

    This is a great post. I love how informative it is, and very to the point. I have a bit of redness around the nose area- I think it is a bit hormonal or age related. But this sounds awesome. Definitely something I am passing along to a few friends who i know suffer from the redness. Great post girl!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost.

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
