La Difference makes all the Difference

 

I finally opened my box of La Différence Cosmetics Instant Face Lifte Lift. LDC Instant Face Lift is a new skincare product recently introduced i the U.S. This skincare is high end and is a professionally-formulated anti-aging skin care product which claims to dramatically lift and firm your skin, providing instant results. I have been using Instant Face Lift along with LDC Anti-Aging Moisturizer as directed. I can honestly tell you that I saw results immediately.

If you have deep folds in your skin like your forehead for example, they won’t disappear. What LDC Instant Facelift will do is have an incredible effect on the fine lines and wrinkles on your face. After washing drying your face, I applied the serum (contained in a syringe) onto my finger tips and spread the serum on the areas of concern like the eye area and around my mouth. As the serum dried, I could feel my skin tighten and the wrinkles I was concerned about improved dramatically.  I applied the LDC anti-aging Moisturizzer over my tightened skin and applied makeup as usual. I loved the results.

All of LDC Skincare products were created in ajn FDA-approved, scientifically-advanced laboratory. The skincare is formulated with  plant stem cells along with clinically-proven ingredients that provide “instant rejuvenation and hydration of the skin, while powerful tightening actives work to reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles” according to their website and that is exactly how it worked for me.

The Triple Stem Cell Plant Therapy contained in  LDC Skincare will  revitalize your skin and remove any wrinkles and fine lines and effectively reverse the signs of aging. LDC Skincare will work for  men too!

 

LDC™ Instant Face Lift combines some of nature’s best kept secrets including:

·         Veegum: the ingredient that activates immediately to firm and tighten

·         Acai Palm: antioxidant that benefits and defends skin

·         Chinese Basil: rich source of Omega-3 and Rosmarinic Acid, soothing properties that calm inflamed skin and antioxidants that fight free radical damage that reduce fine lines and wrinkles

·         White Oak: has skin smoothing benefits with high levels of tannins and Quercin.

 

LDC Anti-Aging Moisturizer is the complement to Instant Facelift and  contains a proprietary blend of 6 Peptides and Resveratrol Complex. This moisturizer not only makes skin appear younger, but hydrates and moisturizes.

Prom Look: Pump Up the Volume

From the PROS:  Want prom hair with volume as high as the volume on the dance floor?! Anna Peters for Sam Villa says, “Keep the height towards the front of the head instead of the back and it will be fresh, current and nothing like grandma’s beehive.”

Texture is a beautiful thing – play it up with the Sam Villa Signature Series Textur Professional Textur Iron.  It imparts expansive texture that not only builds beauty and control, but serious volume that can stand strong all night long!  Lock in the volume with these simple steps:

  • Prep hair with Redken iron shape 11 for maximum heat protection and style memory. Mist evenly over each section before using press the iron down on each section creating light airy texture. Continue all over the head.
  • Isolate a large triangle section that stretches from the corner of the left eye to the corner of the right eye and close it at the high point of the head. Clip out of the way.
  • Softly brush hair away from the face and up to the center back of the head.  Create a French twist and pin into place.
  • Take horizontal sections through the triangle and slightly back comb towards the high point of the head. Pinch and pull towards the front for desired height and pin ends into the top of the French twist.
  • Spray with Redken Control Addict 28 for a little extra insurance.

Reverse signs of aging with ISDIN

 

Flavo-C serum from ISDIN is a powerful antioxidant serum with vitamin C and ginkgo biloba.  The combo of ingredients works to combat and reverse signs of aging such as wrinkles and dark spots. After a few weeks of use, my skin definitely looked brighter and felt freshly hydrated. It also didn’t overly dry out my skin or make it irritated at all, although I did slowly work it into my skin care routine, at first using it two times per week, then working up to every other day.

The serum has a very faint coffee type of smell and was easy to apply- not overly greasy or intense feeling. I love the super sleek packaging it comes in as well, and the color block bottle helps to keep sunlight out and not damage the product. It definitely feels like a great addition to any preventative aging skin routines.

K-Ox Eyes ISDIN eye cream helps prevent dark circles and puffiness with vitamin K oxide formula. I felt my eye area feel almost instantly hydrated and more away after applying the cream. I loved the pump bottle the cream came in so it did not dry out the lotion with a jar type of packaging that other eye creams usually come in, and is more sanitary than putting hands into the lotion each time you use it. The cream is very light and I’ve used it both at night before bed, and in the morning under my regular make up for a quick eye de-puff!

ISDN Complete line of skincare can be found at www.isdin.com

Tips from Skyy Hadley and Lauren B. for beautiful Nails on your wedding Day

When it comes to summer but especially your wedding day, you want an elegant and polished manicure! See below for Lauren B. of Lauren B. Beauty’s new inspiration themed collection for her upcoming wedding as well as tips from celebrity manicurist Skyy Hadley, owner of As U Wish Nail Spa.

Skyy Hadley recommends all brides to keep their hands and nails hydrated. Follow her tips below for the best results:

The best thing brides can do is to keep their nails moisturized at all times; When they dry out they become brittle leading to chips and cracks
Use an oil on your cuticles nightly before bed to keep the skin around them conditioned
Protein on the nails is a must to keep them flexible, if nails stay hard they will break easy; A healthy balanced diet is essential

Healthy Spring Break Tips

Spring Break is right around the corner. It’s hard to stay focused at work, you have been waiting for this all year. Your mind is fantasizing about the hotel, sandy beaches, warm spring nights and drinks by the pool ahhh, good times are coming. While you are envisioning all of this did you think about how you will stay on track with your diet and exercise? No worries, I got you, here are a few things you can do to ensure that when you come home you wouldn’t have missed a step in your fitness routine and stay guilt free.

1. Eat what you want to eat – Yes, I said it. Go ahead and enjoy, in moderation of course. You want to eat conscientiously, (meaning be aware of what you are putting into your mouth) eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full. You know that saying: “fat lasts longer than flavor”.

2. Fitness Center – When you are planning on which hotel you are staying in make sure they have a Fitness Center. I know there may be some late nights, so schedule an hour for your workout accordingly. If the hotel doesn’t have a Fitness Center no sweat my pet, just take that scheduled hour and walk along the beach or sidewalk. During the day, take the stairs instead of the evaluator. Walk instead of taking the tour bus. You will burn extra calories which is great because of those extra “drinks”.

3. Stay Hydrated – Drink lots of water! You want to keep water with you at all times. On Spring Break we tend to go on all the planned activities and forget to drink water. You don’t want to get dehydrated, it can cause you to be sluggish, dizzy and bloated. Even when you are having those special “drinks”, have at least one glass of water in between each drink.

You can Spring Break with the best of them, and not have the guilt when you get home. Enjoy your get away, relax and have fun in the sun.
