The Window to Your Soul
I have. I've always wanted to stun someone with a glance, and silence enemies with a glare. No words spoken, just a simple look loaded with meaning.
This lens is devoted to just that. Creating a window into your soul that illuminates who you are, your effervescent and ebullient self, without simplifying your personality. It's about creating a canvas worthy talking about. No eyeshadow hints and tips... We're just dealing with the skin around your eyes, and in a broader sense- on our faces. We're focusing on the original you before painting and decorating begins.

The Baby-Basics of Taking Care of Your Eyes
Depending on your skin type, there are quite a few products that you can use to cleanse, tone and moisturize your eyes and the area surrounding them.
This is a comprehensive guide to your own personal daily or otherwise skin-care routine that will illuminate your eyes and face.
1.
To Cleanse or Not to Cleanse...
Cleanse Away!
There's absolutely no question that we must cleanse our faces twice a day, for the rest of our lives.
Our faces are really sensitive places that need constant tender, loving care. However, the cash required for this magnificent task could be quite overwhelming to the average human being, but that's why I'm here!
There's no one perfect technique for our different skin types. But there are perfect cleansers.
Fresh, tingly, pore-free...
- Grandpa's Old Fashioned Oatmeal Soap, For Face & Bath
- Oatmeal is always good for your face... unless you're a barn-yard animal and you prefer oats and molasses inside your body rather than moisturizing and cleansing your face. Grandpa's comes in a vegetable base that's yummy for your face always!
Plus it's only $3.29 - Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream (Original)
- If you want to feel all tingly and fresh, Noxzema's the way to go. This product deep-cleans your pores leaving you squeaky, and liberated!
- Burt's Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser
- It's 100% natural and has never ever been tested on animals, or any other small creatures.
Worth a try! - Jean Pierre Cosmetics Exfoliating Dual Sided Facial Cleansing Pads with Gentle Microbeads
- Exfoliate in Style with these cleansing cloths that come jam-packed with moisturizing microbeads in a softening, infusing and exhilarating once-in-a-lifetime cleansing experience...
- Neutrogena Transparent Facial Bar, Original Formula, Fragrance Free
- The original Neutrogena Bar... plus it's on sale NOW for only $2.54!
- Noxzema Triple Clean Antibacterial Lathering Cleanser
- I'm a huge fan of Noxzema products, mainly because my skin's rather irritable, and their stuff leaves me feeling all tingly and fresh and clean. And this one lathers like nobody's business!
2.
To Tone or Not to Tone...
Toners...
Once cleansing is complete, one must tone their faces to get rid of all the residue that the cleanser left behind. Here are a few amazing toners. Add more to the list, or vote up the one's you prefer.

To Moisturize or Not to Moisturize...
Facial Mositurizer
Moisture is your face's best friend!
Moisture is life. Try living more than three days without ingesting a drop of liquid and the results will be disastrous, to say the least.
Your face needs the same attention- moisture is a must!

HEY!
What if you want to be pampered beyond measure? Maybe you just want someone else to beautify your face for you...
Well, you probably will need a facial. Read on...
Did You Know...
- That Ancient Egyptians considered the eye as the most important part of the body?
- "Mesdemet", scientifically produced by the Egyptians and used to elongate the eye was later adopted by the Arabians and renamed "kohl"?
- In the Victorian era, sophisticated women preferred to be viewed as delicate and feminine and therefore barely wore any eye makeup?
- That Cleopatra used ancient crushed sapphires in her eyeshadow?
The Cleanser vs. Soap Debate
So which do you prefer?
Some think that the properties in soaps are better for your skin, whereas the bubbles from cleansers are amazing to maintain the skin's texture and ebullience (I made all that up!)
Which is the better facial cleaner- old-fashioned, trustworthy soaps? or new, adventurous cleansers?
