SAPIEN Women Body Scrub is really one of nature’s best creations

b878115c-17ab-485e-8c9c-ab780731c706-1

I’ve been spending the last year or so trying out scrubs, masks, and other beauty essentials to find out what works best for me. My skin is super sensitive and has to be kept really clean to avoid break-outs; so you could imagine how difficult it is to find something that works for my skin in a world full of synthetic and chemical beauty remedies.

I decided to try the Surya Brasil’s SAPIEN Women Body Scrub since it contains organic ingredients and 100% natural exfoliants. That immediately caught my attention since my skin is so sensitive. The natural exfoliants were all from coconut bark and Buriti. This combination is great at removing dead cells and impurities. The Brazilian beauty secret is the Amazonian White Clay and its found in this product! The Amazonian White Clay enhances the exfoliation power, has high conditioning effect and improves the overall skin clarity and texture. It also has a high concentration of Aloe Vera juice which provides intense hydration. after using the SAPIEN Women Body Scrub I immediately noticed my skins improved and overall lush hydrated appearance. This all made sense, SAPIEN Women Body Scrub is really one of natures best creations!

You can find Sapien and other fantastic skincare products at www.suryabrasilproducts.com

The NEW Hard Candy Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser Really Does Work!!!!

images

 

I basically don’t wear eye liner and mascara. It’s not because I don’t want to, I really like eye makeup. It’s just that applying it always causes me some kind of grief, so I only wear it on special occasions. Usually, when I apply eyeliner, it goes on too thick or its uneven. Applying mascara is another story. I always end up with dots under my eyes and when I try to fix it, I take off makeup already applied. This causes me to start over and I end up feeling frustrated.  If I could apply my eyeliner and mascara effortlessly, like my daughters, I wouldn’t be telling you about my newest discovery, Hard Candy’s Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser. This Eyeliner eraser pen is like a cleaning stick for your eyes and it really does work.

What I love about this eyeliner eraser is the precision tip. Hard Candy’s  Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser has a tip so fine that it removes all eyeliner and mascara mistakes easily. Even the smallest dots are delicately erased without removing makeup that was already applied.  You can even repair uneven eyeliner.

Seriously, where have you been hiding? This is one makeup product I seriously will not live without! Hard Candy’s Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser is available exclusively at Walmart and Walmart.com. I stocked up on my Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser, did you stock up on yours?

Rory Uphold Has A Laugh About Hollywood Style

1422338_10153937068283825_8249132479725732732_n

Funny girl Rory Uphold, who is the creator and star of the popular web series Only In HelLA, which “makes fun” of everything-Hollywood, is one of the most blunt people you will ever meet. So of course I just had to sit down with Rory to find out what she thinks about various Hollywood fashion trends, what people should do who want to move to town to pursue their acting dreams, and more!

NN: How would you describe your own personal style – both while at home and on the red carpet?

RU: Dark, casual, lazy.

NN: Since you are one of the most observant people in Hollywood, what Top 3 GOOD things style wise do you see happening these days in town?

RU: A natural looking face with strong brows. 60’s inspired swimwear. Sustainability – it’s cool to care about how and where your clothes are made.

NN: What Top 3 Style Trends in Hollywood do you HATE right now?

RU: Anything that could be described as “Coachella”. Overly ripped jeans, like the ones where it looks like they’ve been attacked by a tiger. Mistaking nudity for bravery or feminism. I am all for body positivity but I think we’ve put some people on pedestals lately who are more about hype then they are about empowerment.

NN: In general, what is your biggest pet peeve?

RU: Allergies. Slow drivers in the left lane.

NN: What is your advice to anyone wanting to move and start a career in Hollywood?

RU: Find something else that makes you happy and do that. Truly. If you don’t have anything else you love/think you could be happy doing then my advice is brace yourself.

NN: What is your definition of Hollywood “Glam”?

RU: Feeling comfortable in your own skin. To me, glam is an inner quality, a confidence, that gets externalized in a million different ways.

Lasting Impressions: Charles Pierce Lives Again in New Book

wtd_cover_fnl

Just in time for Gay Pride, a new bio on legendary performer Charles Pierce is hitting the shelves. Author Kirk Frederick’s “Write That Down! The Comedy of a Male Actress” (Havenhurst Books) puts Pierce center stage again as one of the most important figures in modern LGBTQ history. We chatted with Frederick about his relationship to the noted performer and Pierce’s enduring legacy.

NN: Thank you for taking the time out of what sounds like a world tour! So delighted to hear about your success.

KF: THAN-KEW! [using his best Charles-as-Bette Davis voice].

NN: My Lord, you were just a babe in the woods when you chanced about Mr. Pierce. What were your first impressions of him? Were you scandalized?

KF: Aw, Nick… you flatter me. Without revealing my actual age, I had just turned 26 [he said, revealing his age THEN] when I first saw Charles perform and met him backstage. Charles had just turned 43. I appreciated older men, especially extraordinarily-talented ones; loved his style, humor, attitude, looks. I was so taken aback by those qualities, that I was anything but “scandalized.” More like mesmerized.

NN: You were quite the lollipop (still are!) back in the day. Beyond your adorableness, what do you think Mr. Pierce saw in you to take you into his fabulous fold?

KF: Aw, Nick, stop with the flattery. I’m married! [But I’m not dead, dumb, or blind (or blond), so I still appreciate it.] Looking back, I think Charles and I were attracted to each other from the first night we met in 1969. There was always a flirtatious spark between us; it carried through our 20+ years together, but we maintained a professional relationship through all those years, and nothing ever “happened” between us. He also appreciated my acting talent, and admired my organizational and production skills for his shows. We were a perfect match, in so many ways.

NN: This book is not your average saucy tell-all. Isn’t there anything to tell? It WAS San Francisco’s Golden Age, after all. Spill. Spill. Or, is that for Volume 2?

KF: There might be a Volume 2… there are still many more of his comedy lines and stories that friends and fans have since reminded me. I understand that everyone seems to want/enjoy the “sleaze” factor, which, as I say in the book, I would have to make up. I never even saw Charles naked, and we didn’t hang out together at the baths or even in bars. I was always naked in “Geese.” He liked what he saw, and told me so. In fact there’s this Polaroid picture of us backstage after one of his cabaret numbers where I was buck naked. Charles liked the picture so much, he framed it and kept it for years.

NN: How do you think spinning in Mr. Pierce’s sphere impacted your life? Personally. Professionally.

KF: Charles impacted me more than any other professional with whom I ever worked. Not only did I admire and enjoy his comedy (and spend many hours every week laughing with/at him), I adored him as a human being. I learned from his enviable ability to remain professional at all times, to always think of the audience first, to respect them and appreciate them. I also learned kindness, generosity, humor, and his “tricks” of comedy. More often than not during our years together, I was involved with someone else, but during the times I was “single,” I also enjoyed the attention that I got, not only from Charles, but often from the hordes of fans and admirers who found us attractive off stage…. I made many life-long friends working with Charles.

NN: My generation is tickled to read about Charles Pierce up close, but what do you think the kids can learn from your book? Is there a moral to the story?

KF: I hope the kids appreciate the place in gay entertainment history that Charles created, contributed to, influenced, and affected. I hope they appreciate his funny material. I hope they appreciate the laughter. The book’s “moral” is simple (which I quote in the book): “He who laughs, lasts.” Laughter became the best medicine Charles could dispense in those “dark” 1980s. It was appropriate for me to write it down and share it with current and future generations. Keep smiling, and even better: keep laughing!
