It’s just not Father’s Day without a Spritz of INVICTUS

shopping
With Paco Rabanne’s Invictus, it’s all about competition. Athletes competing against each other and, of course, there can only be one winner. The prize is Invictus and this Father’s Day, your favorite guy will be the winner when presented with this most attractive and masculine cologne. My husband and son thoroughly enjoyed Paco Rabanne One Million Intense so I thought I would test out Invictus on my son to see if I had picked another winner. I already knew I liked the fragrance from a sample in a magazine. When I spritzed the cologne in a room, I asked my son if he liked the smell, and he said he did. He asked what it was, and I told him it was Paco Rabanne Invictus, and it was going to be a gift for Dad for Father’s Day. He immediately said that if dad did not want it, he would take it. Another winner! One thing is for sure, if my 21-year-old college student didn’t like it, he wouldn’t ask for it as he is extremely fussy colognes when it comes to choosing colognes.

Invictus is not a powerful scent but rather a refreshing scent of a tropical beach. You immediately sense the grapefruit and sea water. As stated by Paco Rabanne, this amazing fragrance has “the refreshing top notes of grapefruit and the sensual heart notes of guaiac wood and patchouli. A truly magnetic woody-aquatic scent which embodies masculine strength.”

Top Notes: Fresh grapefruit, mandarin oranges, and a marine accord Heart Notes: aromatic bay leaf and Hedione jasmine Base Notes: Guaiac wood, patchouli, oak moss and ambergris.

Do You Need to Be Acnefree?

shopping-1

My Children have been huge fans of AcneFree for quite some time. They use several of their products because AcneFree contains 2% Salicylic Acid. Salicylic Acid is very beneficial in combatting acne, and unfortunately they do have annoying breakouts from time to time. With the summer months upon us, sleeveless shirts, shorts and bathing suits are part of their wardrobe, and they are more conscious of blemishes on their skin.  They have many acne products for their face but what about the body, like your back, legs, arms?

AcneFree has a great body spray and my kids having great results. AcneFree Body Clearing Acne Spray is a continuous spray that you apply on your body. The spray makes application quite easy. No mess, just spray on the affected areas and hard to reach places (avoiding your face of course) and AcneFree will work its magic, reducing unsightly and uncomfortable acne breakouts. AcneFree Body Clearing Acne Spray is a clear spray and is recommended by dermatologists.

AcneFree Body Clearing Acne Spray is oil-free. It also contains Vitamin B3 which helps the skin produce more natural ceramides, Glycolic Acid acts as an exfoliator and aloe and plant root extracts which will soothe the skin and even skin tone. AcneFree Body Clearing Acne Spray can be used at any angle, and dries quickly.  Show off your back, arms and legs this summer! You can start by purchasing your AcneFree!

AcneFree Body Clearing Acne Spray, as well as other AcneeFree skin care products, can be purchased in drug stores and mass retailers nationwide.

Kick Your Hair Conditioner up a Notch with Pravana Nevo Color Enhancer

Unknown

It’s not a hair dye…It’s not a shampoo…It’s a Conditioner! It’s the new PRAVANA NEVO Color Enhancer Treatment and it’s works wonderfully. I always know when I’m midway between hair colorings. The dull brassy color says it all and I always notice when I’m driving. When the sun is shining and I look in the mirror I can see that my color is already fading and it hasn’t even been three weeks yet. Everyday shampooing, heat styling and sun exposure definitely takes the life out of your hair. Would you like to freshen it up?

PRAVANA NEVO Color Enhancer Treatment has done wonders for my dull faded color treated hair. PRAVANA NEVO Color Enhancer Treatment is as easy to use as a conditioner because that’s what it is.  It contains a color enhancer to boost your color leaving you with fresh, soft and vibrant hair color again. Simply choose you color enhancer (there are 5 to choose from), shampoo, lightly towel dry and add your treatment. Leave it on for 1 to 2 minutes and rinse out. I have been using PRAVANA NEVO Color Enhancer Treatment once a week and I am very pleased with the results.

What I like most about PRAVANA NEVO Color Enhancer Treatment is that there is absolutely no mess in the shower when rinsing out the treatment. There is no staining on my hands or towel, you risnse out like you would a regular hair conditioner. PRAVANA NEVO Color Enhancer Treatment enriches your hair with soy protein.

Choose your color, Honey Blonde (enhances golden tones), Brilliant Copper (enhances orange tones, Radiant Red (brightens red tones), Deep Burgandy, saturates a deep red/violet tone and my color, Cocoa Brunette (reinforces natural brunettes).  You can find PRAVANA NEVO Color Enhancer Treatment at select salons. Visit pravana.com to find a location near you.

All Nevo products are 100% biodegradable, 100% vegan and contain absolutely no Sulfates, Parabens, Sodium Chloride, Phthalates, Gluten, Propylene Glycol, Cocamide DEA, Cocamide MEA, animal bi-products and animal testing.

Summer Skincare Tips from Jan Marini

Jan Marini, CEO of Jan Marini Skin Research, is a pioneer in the professional skincare arena. She has more than three decades of experience researching and developing new and innovative skincare technologies. Below are three of her top beauty tips to help keep skin protected and youthful during the summer months.

unnamed

PROTECT YOUR HAIR

· Sun exposure breaks down the Disulfide bonds in hair, causing color fading (think of that $200 color service), brittleness and breakage. Remember, your scalp is an extension of the same skin that is on your face and it requires the same attention! Cumulative sun exposure, throughout the year, damages and ages the scalp and, as a result, compromises and decreases the factors that promote luxurious, full, healthy hair.

· Be sure to use a conditioner or leave-on spray that contains a sun protectant…and, wear a hat!
unnamed-1

PROTECT YOUR LIPS
· Your lips are one of the most vulnerable and most exposed areas and, often, the most forgotten.

· To prevent skin cancer while keeping your lips soft, hydrated and supple, generously massage sun protectant into the lip area.
unnamed-2

YOUR SKIN CONTINUES TO AGE IN THE SUMMER MONTHS
· There is a widely spread misconception that it is wise to stop using glycolics, retinols, etc., during the summer months. Not the case! These powerful, gold standard tools can prevent a significant amount of damage, and repair damage that hasn’t yet surfaced while reversing superficial signs of aging and enabling skin to more effectively respond to UV radiation.

· Remember, your skin ages every day and you need to consistently apply medically and clinically validated topicals that can truly assist in keeping your skin looking healthy, vibrant, refined, hydrated and luminous. Taking a break, especially during a period of more intense sun exposure, only compounds the aging process and further compromises your skin’s ability to repair and rejuvenate.

View Some Amazing Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

unnamed-15Le Mieux Skin Perfecter

The Skin Perfecter uses ultrasonic technology (28,000 ultrasonic vibrations per second) to deeply cleanse pores. The ultrasonic waves create a sudden formation and collapse of bubbles in a liquid form called cavitation. This formation creates a micro-jet like current that increases the permeability of the cell walls, allowing molecules to be more easily transported through the outermost layer of the skin. This in turn pushes out any impurities and cellular debris.

$189 via skinperfecter.com
