Great Skincare System "La Contessa Advanced Skincare"

I rate the La Contessa Advanced Skincare is an A+

I tested this skin care system and was so pleased to see super results! I really love it.  Not only did I see a difference in my skins texture and appearance, but my friends expressed that they noticed my my skin appeared more porcelain, soft and youthful.

It is called La Contessa Advanced skincare.  There are 5 different products in the line to help maximize the quality if the skin including a cream with 30 SPF which is ideal to wear under makeup.  The sunscreen is light and absorbs nicely with no sticky feeling that you often get from using sunscreen products.

AHA foaming cleanser with glycolic acid which deep cleans and exfoliates. It should be used in the morning and evening.  The 10% alpha hydroxy is the highest allowed in an over the counter product. It is very effective as i felt the tingly effects when I tested it. It exfoliated my skin leaving a softer new skin that I could feel and see the results and even noticed the smoothness and better skin quality.
The stem cell complex face and neck serum helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines and preserves the longevity of nice skin.  I love it. For more information go to link below.

Pretty in Pastels!

Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner!  Time for some  pretty pastel bobby pin hair clips by Remington.  These beautiful colors are popping up everywhere and I don’t want to miss the trend.  I purchased the Remington Hair Clips for just $3.00 and started with one to hold back my growing-out bangs. I loved the look and I then started to stack four different colors in my hair for a pretty design. A great addition to my hair accessories collection!

What is great about the pastel colors is they stand out no matter what your hair color is!  And, most important they stay where you place them!  This  is definitely not your average grandma’s bobby pin, it is what the  celebrities and models are wearing now!  Remington Hair Accessories Collection is available at Target!

Lady Gaga “FAME” is Totally Captivating

theperfumespot_2260_10203865

 

Lady Gaga has just released an incredible, new fragrance  Lady Gaga Fame. The egg shaped perfume bottle alone is stunning with a  gold piece resembling a “claw” adorning the bottle.The perfume itelf  is black and when sprayed into the air, is colorless, very dramatic like Lady Gaga herself.

The fragrance is just as captivating as the perfume bottle. Lady Gaga Fame, her first signature fragrance Eau de Parfum is exceptional. The fragrance was quite different than what I expected.  This is just my opinion, but I expected something very strong and tenacious. Instead, this striking fragrance was very delicate and sweet, my daughter is definitely not getting hers hands on this one!

Lady Gaga Fame ia a black parfum and is the first of its kind in that the fluid is black and once sprayed, is invisible. Lady Gaga’s Fame has a floral, fruity scent with notes of Incense, Belladonna, Apricot, Honey, Tiger Orchidea and Jasmine Samac.

Lady Gaga Fame is available in a Rollerball, Shower Gel and Body Lotion. At Macy’s, I found Lady Gaga Fame Gift Setwhich includes Eau de Parfum, Body Lotion and a Rollerball.

Lady Gaga Fame is an exquisite scent and once you sample it at the perfume counter you will be out the door with your Fame in hand. Lady Gaga Fame is available at Sephora and  in Fine Department Stores Nationwide.

Bye Bye Wrinkles! The BIOBLISS Anti-Wrinkle System for all skin types is here!

I’m so glad I have the opportunity to write a follow up article about BIOBLISS, and the chance to tell you more about their Anti-Wrinkle System! It’s the perfect companion to their innovative BIOBLISS™ Wrinkle Patch that I reviewed a few months ago!

This group of dedicated professionals with medical and scientific backgrounds who make up the team that created BIOBLISS™ have a very interesting and varied array of education and training, along with an impressive conscientiousness and desire to “Give Back”.

Each year, the month of May is dedicated to Skin Cancer Awareness. The BIOBLISS Team is supportive of Skin Cancer Awareness all year round! That really caught my attention when I first wrote about BIOBLISS, and I believe it’s worthy of being repeated in this feature, before we talk about their additionally effective and proven anti-aging skincare advances!

…Quoting from their website: “Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. In fact, over the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined. On a more personal level, skin cancer has affected our wives, our parents, our friends and our colleagues. That’s why a portion of the profits of all BIOBLISS products will be donated to fund advanced skin cancer research at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School”.

The BIOBLISS Team puts that same commitment and care into their Anti-Aging Skincare!

Their well thought out products bring together a well balanced Anti-Wrinkle System! ~ It’s a skincare system for women and men of any age! It also provides a great defense in avoiding wrinkles, and has shown remarkable results without invasive treatment.

This BIOBLISS Anti Wrinkle System includes:

CLEAN: CLEAN contains not only one of my favorite ingredients, Aloe Vera, but the refreshing and calming natural Cucumber Extract. Add Vitamin E, known for it’s healing antioxidant benefits, and you’ll get a nice thorough cleaning that removes makeup very nicely along with any other impurities in a gentle manner. ($35)

SCRUB: You’ll use SCRUB one to two times per week after you cleanse your skin. It’s stimulating and will remove the dead skin cells, help with those clogged pores, and “soften fine lines”. It won’t strip any of the natural oils from your skin as it contains natural soaps originating from “coconut, macadamia nut, olive, avocado, and sunflower.”($30)
Image

Lock It In Serum: Your clean skin is now ready to “Lock in” some powerful anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid that attracts moisture to your skin, Matrixyl 3000 peptides that help stimulate collagen production while strengthening the skin and help with elasticity, and Prickly Pear Extract that calms the skin and blocks the release of stress markers from sensory nerve cells in the skin. Apply Lock It In Serum in the AM and PM. ($70)
Image 2

HYDRATE LOTION: Here is a 100% natural lotion that is “TOXIN FREE” and you’ll use it twice daily. It has some very unique ingredients that:
1.Naturally relaxes muscles with Esculentes… A vegetable oligopeptide.
2.Nourishes and rejuvenates the skin while targeting the biological agents of cellular aging with Vitamins, Fatty Acids, and Antioxidants.
3.Aids in the protective function of cell aging, and restoring moisture balance and elasticity with Flaxseed, Evening Primrose, Pumpkin Seed, Borage Seed and Sasha Inchi oils.
($80)

With Rimmel London It’s All About the Eyes

When it comes to wearing makeup, mascara is like a girl’s best friend. Personally I can’t leave the house without putting on a little bit. Whether you are going on a date, getting ready for a night out with the girls, or running out of the house late for work, the lash’s are something every girl wants to be longer, bolder and fuller. When somebody looks at your face the first thing they notice are two things: your eyes and your smile.

Rimmel Volume Flash Scandal'Eyes Mascara, Extreme Black

The perfect solution to this is to apply Rimmel London Mascara. This is the perfect mascara for any occasion. Its Scandal Eyes formula creates a subtle but daring look to your eyes that make people want to look… maybe even a double take! If you are going to go see a sad romantic movie and know you are going to shed a tear or two, you don’t want your makeup running down your face. Rimmel London Scandal Eyes is also waterproof! Perfect for any eye color. To spice up your look even more, add some eye shadow to complete the look. I would recommend this mascara to anybody. Definitely stock up on this one!

Premiere Orlando Hair Show June 1st – 3rd

Premiere Orlando Hair Show can be one of the craziest places you have ever been.  As a stylist I LOVE IT!!!! While I was there I learned many new amazing techniques for cutting and styling as well as color.  One of the biggest things about stylist many people don’t understand is that when we are in school we just learn the basics.  The real education starts after we graduate. If a stylist loves there career and has passion for it then they continue their education throughout their life.  I say to all my clients I don’t work from my mind, I work from my heart.  Some people don’t understand that, but I know that my passion for hair comes from within.  I have so much more to share with you about my awesome experience at Premiere Orlando, like my interview with celebrity stylist Kim Vo, best known for his work on Britney Spears and Kate Hudson.  Stay tuned.

The Caviar of Skincare, RG-CELL

slider11

You must agree, skincare technology has come a long way. Fortunately, we are given an abundance of information about the newest technologies, helping us choose the most appropriate skincare to suit our individual skincare needs. Timeslip Solutions has recently introduced a new technologically advanced, concentrated  restorative serum, RG-Cell. What is so unique about RG-Cell is that it contains a unique blend of stem cell activators designed to target and protect your skin and fight visible signs of aging. RG-Cell is suitable for all skin types, a definite plus in my book.

With just a few drops a day, I am on my way to beautiful, more youthful looking skin. I love the fact that with only one drop of RG-Cell, I am able to cover my entire face. I am currently using RG-Cell once daily, right after washing my face.  You can apply RG-Cell twice daily (AM and PM) if you are experiencing problematic areas on your skin, such as scarring or injured skin which needs healing quickly.

As stated on their website rg-cell.com, “RG-Cell Concentrated Restorative Serum is the perfect, powerful proprietary blend of skin conditioning messenger molecules which penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin structure. They awaken our old dormant stem cells, teaching them new tricks on how to differentiate, proliferate and migrate to areas of imperfect and aging skin. This renewal process protects, conditions and restores our skin thereby, delaying the onset of age related skin damage.” 

Recently patented Technology effectively guarantees that that RG-Cell penetrates deeply into the skin, reaching the basal layer where the stem cell resides. RG-Cell founder, Dr. Luiza Petre states that “The formula awakens dormant stem cells, teaching them new tricks on how to differentiate, proliferate and migrate to areas of imperfect and aging skin”. “By stimulating fibroblast production of collagen, skin’s firmness and elasticity increases while the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are reduced for smoother, radiant and more youthful-looking skin.”

RG-Cell contains all natural ingredients and you can find the entire list at rg-cell.com/rg-cell-ingredients. What caught my eye was that RG-Cell contains CAVIAR. Caviar is rich in vitamins and absorbs well without any allergic reactions. Caviar also stimulates the regeneration of the skin, possess antioxidant qualities and protects against harmful UV damage. Research and Scientific studies can be found at http://rg-cell.com/research/.

Studies have concluded the following:

* Ingredients have been scientifically shown to reduce fine lines and wrinkles over time —

75% of clients reported reduced redness and less irritation to applied areas of dried, damaged skin IN JUST 5 DAYS

75% of clients showed improved skin elasticity and firmness IN JUST 2 WEEKS

90 % of clients showed a significant increase in moisture retention IN JUST 4 WEEKS

80 %of clients said their skin’s overall appearance was improved and healthier-looking IN JUST 4 WEEKS
