Author If you purchase cosmetics and beauty supplies on a regular basis, you know how expensive they can be, particularly if you shop at the cosmetic counters at department stores. The good news is there are a variety of places off the beaten path where you can purchase beauty supplies for less than you’d pay in a conventional department store. Next time you have a little time on your hands and are up for a shopping adventure, check out some of these places and save money at the same time:
Purchase beauty supplies: Dollar stores
While they probably won’t have high end cosmetic names such as Lancome or Estee Lauder, dollar stores can be an inexpensive place to buy the basics such as makeup sponges, makeup brushes, cosmetic cases, and tweezers. Although they usually have a selection of cosmetics including mascara, eye shadow, blush, and lipstick, be aware of the fact that some of these items may be manufactured in China where there’s less quality control and focus on safety.

Venezuela’s Most Beautiful Women
Venezuela is home to the world’s most beautiful women. This tropical South American country produced 9 major beauty titlists, 5 for Miss World and 4 for Miss Universe since 1955. This list does not include the Miss International beauty title winners.
Miss World

The first Venezuelan beauty titlist is Carmen Zubillaga. She was crowned Miss World in 1955 in a beauty contest held in London that same year. She is in fact the first South American woman to win the Miss World beauty contest.

What Is Beauty?
It seems as though the actresses, singers and models you see on television don’t portray what real women look like. Society puts a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way. This is especially true of African Americans. What am I talking about? What I mean is this: the media’s idea of beauty for a Black woman is different. The “ideal” Black woman is one that is light skinned, has straight hair (or any texture that is not Afro kinky) and being thin is a plus!
Beauty? In Hollywood, women such as Beyonce and Vanessa Williams are recognized and highly revered for their “breathtaking” beauty but, would they be just as “breathtaking” if they were to put on a few pounds? Would they recieve the same attention if they had darker skin and kinky hair? Somthing tells me that things just wouldn’t be the same for these ladies if any of these scenarios were to come true. I’m not attacking Beyonce or Vanessa. Why would I? It’s not their fault. The media is responsible for the misrepresentation of Black women. How are Black women being misrepresented? While Beyonce and Vanessa are both beautiful, they do not represent every Black woman. We all come in different colors,shapes and sizes. With that being said, shouldn’t we all be recognized as having different types of beauty rather than trying to fit the mold of the ”ideal” woman? Natural Beauty in Hollywood There are many women in Hollywood who would be proud to declare that they have not let society’s nonsense and the opinions of others dictate their style. These women are the ones who feel as though they need to change anything about themselves just to appease others! They march to the beat of their own drum. These people are not the generic beauties but beautiful nonetheless. Women Like: 1.Jill Scott 2.India Arie 3.Lauren Hill 4.Gabrielle Union
Boys in Beauty Pageants – A Look at Varying Perspectives
When you think about boys in beauty pageants, what comes to mind? Is it gender equality? Promoting femininity in boys? Entering boys in a traditionally female activity, like the opposite of a little girl playing football? Whatever your opinion, one thing’s for sure: you probably do have an opinion, whether you want to admit it or not.
On one side of the coin, there’s the argument that boys should be in beauty pageants. Why shouldn’t they have the opportunity that their female counterparts have to charm audiences and win large sums of cash? What does that say about gender equality? And, boys are significantly more clothed than girls during beauty pageants. Not to mention, boys age out of pageants so being involved has less chance of being a lifelong obession.
It’s easy to take an opposing view as well: beauty pageants aren’t appropriate for boys. This may tie into the fact that beauty pageants may not be appropriate for children at all, considering the massive amounts of makeup and practice that they require. Where’s the time for fun when you’re being forced to practice all day? Not to mention the social implications. According to FamilyEducation.com, “The long-standing and current overwhelming opinion in the psychology community concerning children’s beauty pageants is that they are not in the best interests of healthy child development.” While this is true of girls in pageants, it is probably escalated even further for boys in pageants.
