Help Scalisi Skincare name their new Serum launching November 1

Scalisi Skincare’s Game-Changer Serum doesn’t even have an official name yet and is creating a lot of buzz at my house. It’s been my experience that skincare, for the most part, doesn’t solve your problems overnight but certain skincare will solve them if you use them consistently. Since being introduced to facial serums several years ago, I can honestly say that they have to have certain qualities in order for me to continue using them. The Game Changer Serum is light and non-greasy, smells fabulous like delicate rose petals and will leave your skin dry and smooth within seconds. You can wear foundation over the serum, without it feeling heavy. It’s oil and paraben-free and perfect for all skin types. I have been using The game Changer Serum and I love how my skin feels.

Of course, there are a few factors that intrigued me about The Game Changer Serum:

This unique serum will improve radiance and evens skin tone; The serum will smoothe, hydrate and reduce the appearance of pores as well as diminishes the appearance of fine lines and imperfections by using soft diffusers.

The Game Changer Serum has patented peptides working to visibly correct skin imperfections and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; The serum is formulated with dermal fillers to help restore skin volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and Sodium Hyaluronate to provide deep hydration.

It is rich in oligosaccharides to improve skin by minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores; contains color correctors to help neutralize sallow tones by combining the perfect balance of translucent microspheres, precious gold particles, and photoluminescent technology. This serum also contains Ascorbyl Glucoside, a natural form of vitamin C that helps promote collagen synthesis and helps inhibit melanin production for a skin brightening effect.

After reading these qualities, I couldn’t resist trying The Game Changer Serum. This new serum is expected to launch on 1st November 2016. Scalisi Skincare is offering an amazing giveaway in which one winner will be announced who will receive a year’s supply of Scalisi Skincare products that include 6 collection sets, worth a total of $1200.

Gold Sugar & Rose Gold…It’s a Revolution

Revolution Makeup has introduced a fabulous makeup palette, the Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold Ultra Professional Blush Palette. Except for the two matte shades, these gorgeous, rosy, golden tones are slightly shimmery. With this palette alone, you can mix and match to all skin tones and clothing colors. Try layering some of the shimmery colors over the matte shades. I love the rosy color layered over a blush that I already have. My daughter layers the golden tone on her cheeks without any color at all. The combinations are endless, and the colors are perfect for all four seasons. Although the shades in the palette look dark, as you can see on the white paper (below) the shades are delicate and light enough that you don’t have to worry about the blush going on to dark.

The bronzers will cover the areas of your face that need a little extra color. For a sun-kissed glow, any of the bronzer shades will be your best friend. The Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold Ultra Professional Blush Palette has a full sized mirror for your convenience. This palette along with other palettes from Revolution Makeup can be found at ulta.com

Stowaway Cosmetics are a mini size creating gorgeous eyes

Those of us who use makeup, know there are many brands and options to choose from. I can’t live without my lipsticks and foundation and my daughters love their eye makeup. Each brand/type of cosmetics, offers it’s own unique quality and Stowaway Cosmetics has an incredible one. Stowaway Cosmetics allows you can choose your favorite makeup application at half the size of ordinary brands and half the price. My daughter chose the Essential Eye Palette. As you can see above, she created this gorgeous look with an eye palette the size of a business card. With Stowaway Cosmetics, you no longer have to choose what cosmetics to take with you because you can’t fit everything in your purse. I especially have this problem when I use an evening bag. I just can’t take everything with me.

The Essential Eye Pallette has everything to offer as a full-size palette does. The palette contains lightweight powders that are highly pigmented. You can create the perfect look with just this one product. The natural shades go with all skin tones. The matte shades are designed for all brow colors and the black shade can even be used as a liner. Shimmers can be used for highlighting and contouring. The palette comes with a dual-sized brush fit for shadow, brows, and liners. I would say this is unique quality, don’t you think?

You can view the full collection at Stowaway Cosmetics.

When you love the color but not the stain, Nakeah has the answer

My daughter Adrienne is loving her new liquid lipstick from Nakeah Cosmetics of Hollywood. The color has a matte finish and stays on throughout the day. She is wearing “Vamp” (shown below) this particular evening and wears lighter shades for work and daytime. Nakeah Cosmetics of Hollywood offers 11 gorgeous vibrant shades. Adrienne told me that many matte lipsticks tend to dry out your lips after a while but Nakeah Liquid Lipsticks do not, her lips stay soft and smooth. The color glides on easily and looks amazing.

The downside to many matte lipsticks and lip stains is that they can be very hard to remove. Nakeah Cosmetics of Hollywood has created a liquid lipstick remover, Indelible Makeup Remover. With Indelible Makeup Remover, Lipsticks are easily removed while conditioning your lips at the same time. The makeup remover works well with all makeup especially lips and eyes. Another nice feature is that Indelible Makeup Remover is blended with all natural anti-oxidants, jojoba, and olive oil, leaving your skin soft, smooth and glowing.

Colors shown from Left to Right are Adrienne’s favorite Vamp, Grand Canyon (perfect for fall) and my favorite, A-List

Nakeah Cosmetics of Hollywood not only carries lipsticks, but has an array of cosmetics and accessories. Nakeah Cosmetics ha created a line of “All Natural, Paraben-free Line of Cosmetics & Skin Care Created for Every Ethnicity & Every Culture…” as stated by Nakeah Cosmetics of Hollywood. You will find the complete line of cosmetics at www.nakeahcosmetics.com

Slather Yourself with Nubian Heritage’s Patchouli & Buriti Souffle

There is nothing fun about recovering from knee surgery. Well, I can think of one thing that helps, the amazing gifts I have received from some very thoughtful family and friends. Before I slather myself with Nubian Heritage’s Patchouli & Buriti Souffle, I would like to tell you a little more about this amazing fragrant collection. I could smell the sweet aroma as soon as I opened the box.

I am loving Patchouli & Buriti Souffle and the Cleansing Soap Bar is equally enjoyable. The soap has a unique blend of Buriti Oil, moisturizing Shea Butter and Rose Hip Seed Oil blended providing a fragrant, soothing and hydrating bathing experience. I rubbed the soap bar into a loofah sponge and worked the soap into a rich lather which was quite enjoyable. I can only describe the scent as a vanilla cake batter with a pinch of chocolate. That is my take on it, but if you like sweet scents you will love this collection.

Nubian Heritage’s Patchouli & Buriti Souffle is formulated for all skin types including sensitive skin. As stated by Nubian Heritage, their “products are cruelty-free and without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, petroleum, DEA, artificial fragrance or synthetic coloring. The secret to Nubian Heritage is that they use proven traditional healing practices, cultural influence and indigenous ingredients including various oils, ash and more to create a solution for every beauty and skin type.”

I have used the souffle every day since receiving it and not only am I getting compliments on the scent, my daughter actually smelled the sweet aroma when she walked in the room. It’s the perfect remedy for dry skin, chapped hands or anywhere you need moisturizing.

You will find the Nubian Heritage collections at Ulta; www.ulta.com/brand/nubian-heritage with products like cleansers, body washes, hand creams and skincare containing 100% Organic Shae butter. Nubian Heritage also has specific skincare designed for dry, problematic and sensitive skin.

Try Nubian Heritage’s Coconut & Papaya Hand Cream containing organic shea butter for dry or chapped hands; The Nubian Heritage’s Indian Hemp & Haitian Vetiver Body Cleansing Smoothie gives your whole body a blend of ultra-moisturizing Shea Oil & soothing Neem to enhance your skin’s appearance. Nubian Heritage’s Abyssinian & Chia Seed Collection is both vitamin rich and contains anti-aging properties that will leave your skin with a youthful glow.

Head Back to School with a little Mad Love

Katy Perry debuted her newest fragrance, Mad Love, recently. I have all of Katy Perry’s fragrances, and this latest is my favorite. It has an appealing scent of fruits and flowers, both my favorites. Mad Love has notes of lady apple sorbet, mara strawberry, and pink grapefruit. The floral highlights are composed of bleeding heart flower, peony, and jasmine. Mad Love has a delicate scent which has quite a bit of staying power. I spray on in the morning and can still smell the beautiful aroma into the early evening. My youngest daughter also loves the scent and loves the design of the bottle. She has an extensive perfume collection and plans on taking this from me.

My youngest daughter also loves the scent and loves the design of the bottle. She has an extensive perfume collection and plans on taking this from me.

Who doesn’t want a Skinny Tan?

There are three fabulous reasons for trying the New Australian self-tanner “Skinny Tan“, recently introduced to the United States.

1.) Skinny Tan is an all natural self-tanner

2.) You will achieve a healthy looking tan without worrying about the harmful dangers of the sun, and

3.) Skinny Tan will reduce the appearance of cellulite so your skin, especially your legs, they will look smoother and skinnier!

I especially liked Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner. This is the perfect self-tanner to use before the beach, vacation, pool or anytime throughout the year. That’s what I like about self-tanners, you can use them any time and any length of time.

If you follow Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner’s simple steps, you will have the perfect long lasting tan within 5 to 8 hours.

Skinny Tan’s Pre Tan Primer is an exfoliator which prepares your skin with a smooth surface for an even application of Skinny Tan and helps extend the life of your tan. The scent of coconut will put you in the mood to focus on your tan with Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner.

Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner is a creamy white coconut scented lotion containing naturally derived tanning agents plus Guarana. I used a tanning mitt and applied this gradual tanner to my body. Tanning Mitt’s are extremely important. They guarantee a smooth, streak free application and prevents staining on your hands.,

Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner takes between 5 to 8 hours to turn into a healthy natural looking tan that everyone wants to achieve in a safe manner. Use Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner daily until you achieve your desired tan. I only needed two applications, and I was quite pleased with the results. The darkened color really does reduce the cellulite appearance.

Help extend the life of your tan with Skinny Tan After Glow. Consider After Glow the final piece to your tan. This is a clear gel that acts as a moisturizer over your new natural looking color. You can use After Glow daily for added hydration and extended color. This is also a great moisturizer, and my skin was hydrated for hours.

Remember to carefully read the directions to all the Skinny Tan products. Each product has different instructions and most do not contain sunscreen or sunblock. Always remember to use sunblock whenever you are in the sun.

Skinny Tan is available in a Mousse, Oil, a Skinny Tan 7 Day Tanner, Skinny Tan Tanning Mousse, Skinny Tan Tan & Tone Kit and a Skinny Tan Tan & Glow Kit. A Skinny Tan Applicator Mitt also is available and recommended. Skinny Tan is available exclusively at www.skinnytanusa.com.

Skinny Tan products are “Made with organic oils and a coconut and caramel scent, Skinny Tan goes on smoothly without streaking or off colors. Specifically, the collection includes high quality naturally derived and eco-friendly agents derived from the Brassica Napus plant that works to create a natural tan.”

Skinny Tan is a PETA approved ethical brand, ready to make its mark in the US.

The website has great tips for using Skinny Tan products: https://www.skinnytan.com.au/pages/tanning-tips

Extend your tan after the summer is gone and look skinnier too with Skinny Tan.
