Make Up That Covers Stretch Marks

April 16th, 2009

I am on a quest to rid myself of my stretch marks, however this appears to be a longer journey than I first anticipated so on the way I have decided to try some cover up methods.

I have been using Dermablend Coverage Cosmetics for many years. I have the body make up and the Dermablend High Coverage Cream which is essentially for the face but I find it works even better on the body in places like your hips and breasts. It is great for covering any type of discoloration, hyper pigmentation, freckles, scars and stretch marks. It will not alter the texture of the skin much, but it does make skin imperfections appear much less noticeable.

In all honesty this make up is not that great out in the light of day, it is quite noticeable that you have it caked on and if you go swimming even though they tell you it is water proof - it really isn't. You will come out of that ocean swim or jump out of the pool only to find that you are covered no more! Not only that, but your swimmers may have foundation smudges all over them, take it from me I know this from personal experience.

At night time it is a whole different ball game.  With the right lighting of restaurants and bars and even your friends house you can totally get away with this make up. It is even awesome for giving you a very flawless looking cleavage. Put on a push up bra and some of this make up, don't forget the setting powder and make sure you don't wear white!

I want to hear from you, have you used Dermablend to cover stretch marks? Have you used any other type of make-up or product that produced a desirable effect?

I have bought my Dermablend cover from a store and also online. For dermablend, I found the best deals to be found at Drugstore.com, however I did get it from Amazon once when I needed it in a hurry (same day shipping). I also found it on Ebay for a great deal, but you can't always find exactly what you want.

Jean Wu Stretchmark Cure – Over 3 Months

April 6th, 2009

I have been following the Jean Wu stretch mark cure technique for well over 3 months and it's not looking good for Jean Wu. My skin looks exactly the same as when I started off 3 months ago. Stretch mark cure I think not, scam and just a clever marketer trying to sell an ebook and being quite successful at it; I think so.

See the Jean Wu technique is this: create an overly complex, tedious routine that no one can question you on when it doesn't work because it is so hard to follow exactly to the letter and thus there you have the disclaimer. Oh did you accidentally brush your skin with the wooden peg anti-clockwise for one round? oh well it's not the technique that doesn't work - it's you!

Well it's definitely not me, this exfoliation technique is garbage. This has as much effect on your stretch marks as climbing up a tree and singing Ring Around The Rosie. I was going to save this barrage til month 6 but I can really see that this is going nowhere fast. There is no improvement and I cannot lie. I will continue this method just to say I have seen it all the way through and I didn't just give up. But this is pure BS!
