Does anyone else just go to the beauty store now, and pick up a package and hear the word "lies" whispered in your ear? I was a beauty junkie, and now I feel like all my love of beauty products has been diminished... There's no magic in a bottle. Just your run of the mill surfectants and emollients.

i remember when anti cellulite cream was first put on the market. maybe there is a beauty brains post about it somewhere.
anyhow, about the future products aspect. i saw claims that anti cellulite cream can mobilize the fat layer under skin. i bought some wondering if it could do a kind of trans dermal mini face lift.
i was thinking the sections of fat under the face, fat cells, connective tissues and all could be pushed up to where it was before gravity took hold.
for example, a person who had chubby cheeks that have dropped down to chubby jowls can massage jowls upwards with anti cellulite cream to move the whole set of fat back up to the cheeks again.
i saw an interview where a journalist thought in the future, the interest would not be about beauty but it would be all about health. i think future cosmetics would be pharmaceuticals and outpatient procedures.
There are still some high end makeup items that I think that drugstore items can't measure up to. For example, no Covergirl, Maybelline, or L'Oreal foundation will ever beat the $60 Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk foundation.
But yes, ultimately I now think that anti-wrinkle creams and such are useless, and that can be sad.
