It Can Be Tamed!

Frizz seems to be the ultimate demon when it comes to our hair. Especially now that it is the summer months and we will be out and about enjoying it, we may go from perfect hair to “I jumped back into the 70s” afro! With the Zero Frizz Keratin Corrective Hair Serum, curly hair can now be tamed.

Zero Frizz Keratin Corrective Hair Serum

Zero Frizz Keratin Corrective Hair Serum

Since the mid-90s Zero Frizz has offered high quality performance when it comes to taming frizz. The Zero Frizz Keratin Corrective Hair Serum is made specifically for thick, coarse, dry hair to add moisture, and shine. It is great for color treated hair to help lock in color and make it last longer. It is enriched with Keratin, and also has UV protection to keep hair extra strong. Zero Frizz Keratin Corrective Hair Serum is best when applied to wet hair and then styled as usual.  This is a great product to use when you just can’t think of anything else. It smells great, and get this you only have to use it on a daily bases but sparingly.

I would not suggest this product if your hair is straight, and fine because then it will cause your hair to be weighed down and look greasy.

Dana’s Bakery Rocks for the Fourth of July

Dana's Bakery

I received my very first Dana’s Bakery delivery today, how exciting! Actually, the whole family was excited. My kids were already familiar with Dana’s Bakery Macarons during a recent trip to New York City. After trying a few flavors, they were hooked. There were so many flavors to choose from that we ended up buying an assortment of them.  The Macarons are extremely yummy and you won’t be able to stop at one. I already have plans on filling a large glass contaner with Dana’s Bakery’s  newest creation, Cherry Firecracker Macarons  for our Fourth of July party. The centerpiece will be amazing!

With a cherry flavored shell and Pop Rocks infused into the filling, these delicious macarons are sure to be a hit. Make sure you place you orders before June 30th.

All of Dana’s Bakery macarons are special and you can get some fabulous ideas on how to use them to brighten up your events at their website and Facebook page. Try leaving a plate of macarons on your table when the kids are around. I promise, your the plate will be wiped out by the end of the day.

Gerard Cosmetics by Whitening Lightning presents a new BB Plus+ Ilumination Facial Crème

Gerard Cosmetics by Whitening Lightning "NEW" BB Plus+ Illumination Facial Cream

Gerard Cosmetics by Whitening Lightning “NEW” BB Plus+ Illumination Facial Cream

Gerard Cosmetics by Whitening Lightning has introduced their brand new BB Plus+ Illumination Facial Crème that’s befitting for any complexion. This lovely BB Plus+ Illumination Facial Crème, was developed with “light reflecting” particles, and “golden shimmer” with undertones that will awaken your skin with a healthy, very natural radiance.

When using this BB Plus+ Illumination Facial Cream, you’ll be able to enjoy:
• A very versatile product that gives you options to wear alone or blend with your favorite foundation.
• Correction of “discoloration” in your skin and a “blurring” of complexion imperfections.
• Beautiful Radiance…Whatever your skin tone or skin type! BB Plus+ is a “universal shade“.

My skin is very fair, and I was delighted with the natural appearance my skin “took on” as I applied BB Plus+. This light weight cream applied and blended with ease, leaving a very subtle hint of color, vibrant glow, and a more youthful finish. I actually didn’t apply any additional makeup, except my usual a touch of blush, a nude lip color, and smudge of eyeliner. I was out the door in a few minutes and even got a compliment from my husband ! Now that’s a good way for a day to start!

Here is an image of me after I applied my BB Plus+, photo copy
I’m usually a person who wears more makeup, but I must say that I really felt confident throughout the day, and without touch-ups I looked as fresh when I arrived back home as I did when I left the house in the morning…..Thanks BB Plus+ !!

A generous size of the BB Plus+ Facial Crème is priced at $36.00, and available for purchase at:
http://www.whiteninglightning.com

Why don’t you give it a try….

MAI COUTURE is the Solution for a Glowing Complexion

REJUVENATE OIL BLOTTING PAPIER

I just received my first lesson on how to use blotting papers. My 18 year old daughter Adrienne purchases them every now and then, but I never actually saw them in action. She told me they are great to have on hand, especially on the days she is wearing makeup and her skin gets a little sweaty or oily. The blotting papers remove oil from the skin, leaving the makeup in tack.

She was really excited when she discovered  Mai Couture 2-1 Oil Blotting Bronzing Papier. These blotting papers not only mattify your skin, but each Oil Blotting/Bronzing sheet is lightly powdered with a bronzing pigment which adds a subtle glow to your skin. The powder is paraben and talc free, adding just enough color to give you a subtle sun kissed glow.

WALLET A LA CARTE

Each book of Mai Couture 2-1 Blotting Bronzing Papiers contain 100 sheets and are available in 3 shades. They easily fit in a make-up purse or handbag. Mai Couture also carries wallets specially designed to fit your bronzing paper booklet and will protect them from getting damaged.

The Blotting sheets are easy to use and only one sheet is needed for one blotting session. As you can see from the image below, which can also be found on their website http://www.maicouture.com/, “gently press and roll the colored side of the papier around the face concentrating on the areas that the sun would normally hit (not sure? It’s usually the cheekbones, top of the forehead, the bridge of the nose, chin and décolletage).” Still not sure? An informative how-to video can be found at their website.

Smooth and shiny hair with John Frieda Satin Finish Straightening Iron

John Frieda Satin Finish

After trying out several different brands of straightening irons, a friend of mine suggested trying John Frieda Satin Finish.  I fell in love!  I have long curly hair that easily frizz which makes my hair look dry, dull and lifeless.  Not a pretty site especially in the summer heat and humidity.   The John Frieda Satin Finish Straightening Iron transforms my unhealthy looking hair into beautiful, smooth, shiny and manageable hair.  This straightening iron has 1 1/2 inch extra long titanium ceramic coated straightening plates that heat up in 15 seconds.  Wow, no time to lose!  It has a swivel cord so it is comfortable and controllable to use.  The swivel cord also helps to avoid a tangled cord.  It has 11 high heat levels with digital temperature display.  The plates heat up to 455 degrees F.  My mom loves the auto shutoff feature so if I forget to shut the straightening iron, it will do it for me!

unnamed-1

The Advanced Ionic technology helps keep moisture in your hair and the damage away from your hair.  The LCD temperature control delivers even heat through the plates which protect your hair, reduces the frizz and enhance shine.  Who knew a straightening iron could do all that!  It usually takes forever and I mean forever to straighten my curly, long, thick hair but using John Frieda Satin Finish with the 1 1/2″ plates, well it was straight in a snap!  My hair is straight, shiny and healthy looking after using John Frieda Satin Finish Straightening Iron!  This is a “hot” new hair tool to prevent the bad hair days!  Check it out at www.johnfrieda.com

For Clear and Soft Skin…Turn to AMBI Skincare

Ambi

Ambi

For the past two weeks I have been using Ambi Spot Treatment, and I can honestly say it has been working like a charm. Ambi’s even & clear Acne Spot Treatment with Advanced 5% Micro-Benzoyl Peroxide has helped me out with those stubborn pimples that seem to pop out of nowhere. Throughout my teenage years I have tried my fair share of acne products. I have always been flopping around from different brands because not one had seemed to work really well.  But I have a feeling I won’t be using this product for two weeks, I think I finally found a keeper! When applied to my face it is a white lotion, and when applied to my troubled spots it feels soft, gentle, and dries clear to my face. I gave this product the “two week test” and I can truthfully say my face is much more even-toned then it was before; and of course the most important part, my pimples are completely gone. My face feels healthy and beautiful and all it took was Ambi Acne Spot Treatment… who would have known!

Ambi

I have also been using Ambi even & clear Makeup Removing Cleansing Cloths. As we grow older and have more responsibilities are days and nights become longer and at the end of the day we all just want to go to bed. Before bed my nightly routine of washing up usually takes a good 15-20 minutes. Sometimes I cannot wait that long and I am falling asleep while brushing my teeth. These Cleansing Cloths are the perfect trick for nights like these. It is an easy and fast way to take off all my makeup and takes less than 30 seconds to do so. I don’t even have to wash my face afterwards because after taking off the makeup, the cloths are cleansing the skin of its impurities. The one thing I LOVE about this product is the texture of the cloths which is a soft silky consistency and feels amazing as it’s rubbed up against my face. I am the type of person who has sensitive skin, and this product did not irritate my skin, in fact it made my skin wanting more!

All Ambi Skincare products can be purchased at drug and beauty supply stores nationwide.

Fun, Fruity, Muddy and Creamy Face Masks from Montagne Jeunesse

unnamed-8

What are fun, fruity, muddy, creamy and Affordable? Montagne Jeunesse Face Masks and they are incredible. My daughters and I recently had a fun spa party and tried out several Montagne Jeunesse newest masks from their collection. Montagne Jeunesse has a face mask for every skin type and skin concern you can think of. We got to pick from a variety of masks and I chose Aloe Vera Face Spa (this was my favorite 5 minute beauty fix). I have used cloth masks in the past and they are the easiest masks to use. This is a fabric cloth with cut outs for your eyes and nose. You simply place over your face, press out the wrinkles and enjoy the cool aloe vera and green tea botanicals. I also loved the Manuka Honey Peel Off. The mixture actually looks and smells like real honey. I spread it around my face avoiding my eyes and I felt a great tighten sensation as it dried (15 to 20 minutes). Peeling it off was fun and effortless as I said bye-bye to all of my facial impurities. Manuka Honey Peel Off contains Jasmine the natural cleanser of Manuka Honey.

My daughters were feeling fruity and chose Creamy Coconut and Super Fruit MUD. Both of these mask require 15 to 20 minutes of relaxing time and they were not complaining. If you like coconut, you will love Creamy Coconut. Containing Coconut water and shea butter you will feel the ultimate softness of your face after rinsing. Cleanse and nourish your pores with Super Fruit MUD. The Goji Berry and Pomegranate are the super ingredients that throughly cleanse your skin especially your pores. These fruits are considered super fruits in the beauty world so you don’t want to miss out on this fabulous mask.

You can find Montagne Jeunesse Masks at ulta.com and all under $2.50. All the masks are safe, fun to use and smell devine. These masks are animal friendly and Vegetarian Society approved products made without harsh chemicals and parabens. Cleanse, Apply, Relax, Massage and Rinse and bask in the glow of refreshed and invigorated skin.

The palette contains six perfectly neutral shades that will “go” anywhere with you which will give you the means to mix and create your own special color, or just wear one.

Once again, Dimitri James has succeeded in developing just the right colors, texture, and versatility that makes his Hollywood Nearly Nude Lip Palette compatible with any skin tone, and complimentary to any outfit you are wearing.

I’ve always liked to wear “nude type” lip colors, and have spent a lot of money over the years only to find that the colors would always be either too beige and washed me out, or too pale and would not flatter my complexion.

Skinn’s Hollywood Nearly Nude Lip Palette is different and absolutely modern! These lipsticks are “anti-aging” and have “collagen-boosting peptides” ! That helps you maintain fuller and plumper lips while providing you a more youthful “fresh” appearance whatever your age.

I had a very simple makeup look on the other day, and when I mixed and applied a couple of the colors from my Hollywood Nearly Nude Palette, I was happy to see how it truly did pull my whole look together!

With a price point of $22.50 for six colors, two brushes, top technology, unlimited color creativity, and beautiful “take-along” packaging, Skinn’s Hollywood Nearly Nude Lip Palette gets 5-Stars, and a recommendation for you to go to :

Here you’ll be able to order your palette, and peruse all of the great products that Skinn has to offer!
