November 6, 2010Comments: 2

cargo lip quad
Shop hard to find and specialty brands at Beauty.com.

There are a bunch of different Cargo Lip Gloss Quad shades besides this one called Naples and all of them are miraculous in their color combinations.

I chose this Cargo lip gloss quad to show because I like how each is a nice natural color that will look hot with any eye shadows or eyeliners you choose.

You have your matte type colors, shimmery ones and hey, blend them together in different ways and you have a whole new set of colors.

All of these Cargo lip gloss colors offer sheer and non-sticky shine.

The gorgeous shades you get in this Cargo lip gloss combo palette:

* shimmering champagne
* vibrant orange red
* rose
* muted berry

These shades of lip gloss will suit just about any skin tone so you really can’t go wrong. They are perfect for all seasons too. Yay!

Show wraps aren’t just for girls you know

Why is it that men always get the bum end of the stick. (yeah right) Seriously though, there is no reason why you can get a mens shower wrap for your boyfriend as a last minute gift idea. Any of the gifts above are going to be fantastically thoughtful and still practical holiday presents.

I think a mens shower wrap is the perfect boyfriend gift because it’s something he can use everyday but also something he would probably not have thought of buying for himself. That is the kind of thing that you need to remember when gift shopping for Christmas presents.

Why NeoStrata Skin Brightening Gel: The Glow

October 1, 2010Comments: 11

I am blown away by NeoStrata Skin Brightening Gel. It may be an icky yellow colored gel but it does wonders for the complexion. It will exfoliate and brighten the skin enormously.

Did you know that having an uneven skin tone adds 10 to 15 years to how old you look? By using this skin brightening product you can take off those 15 years with ease. You will have flawless skin if you use this Neostrata gel every day.

There is an enormous amount of Vitamin C in this Neostrata Skin Brightening Gel and that is the secret to its success. This goes head to head with the dullness of your complexion and kicks its ass!

Neostrata did a big study on their brightening formula and they found that women who used it found up to an 88% improvement in the look of their skin. There’s more though:

* 93% reported a lighter and brighter skin tone
* 87% reported a healthier looking, more even complexion
* 80% reported faded age spots, firmer skin and a more radiant complexion

Neostrata brightener is a great way to take years off your looks, it is great for the skin too, it virtually feeds it.

For a More Youthful Appearance: Babor Lifting Eye Cream

September 19, 2010Comments: 9

This Babor eye cream was clearly created by aliens. It is so amazing no way humans figured out how to make it. It is like heaven on the skin and what it does is actually stimulate cell regeneration. That is what gives you that youthful glow back.

It does so much more though, it also protects your skin against free radicals and harmful environmental influences. You have no idea the kind of havoc pollution in the air alone can wreak on your face. Yuck!

Babor lifting eye cream works to prevents the forming of fine lines and wrinkles around the oh so delicate eye area. This makes it perfect for women of all ages. If you want to look younger it has you covered, if you want to keep the youthful look you already have then this has you covered too.

It’s powerful anti ageing stuff. But really light on the skin as well. I like to use it as a base for my makeup, it helps keep your eyeshadow on all day. Bonus, right?

This lifting eye cream is fragrance free too so those with sensitive skin can use it with no problem whatsoever. Just put it on once at night and once in the morning and you are good to go.

I Can No Longer Live Without My Lipstick Brush

September 7, 2010Comments: 7

Lip Defining Brush

A [tag]lipstick brush[/tag] is one of the most important parts of your makeup kit. It took me a lot of years to realize this which is weird, I have no idea why I was so resistant to the brilliance of the brush.

I think I just didn’t want to pack around one more thing with me, but the makeup brushes they make today for [tag]applying lipstick[/tag] are so tiny and they have caps so you never have to worry about them smearing lipstick on the other things in your purse or your pockets.

A [tag]makeup brush[/tag] like this serves many different purposes and one of them—my favorite in fact—is the fact that if you use a lipstick brush you will save a lot of money on lipstick over the years whether you realize it or not.

When you put on a lipstick straight out of the tube you are using way too much. It is going on thick and fast, if you were to use a lip brush on the other hand you would be able to put just the right amount on each time.

But that is not the only reason why a brush is important. If you find that lipstick doesn’t last on your lips it is probably because you are putting it on straight out of the tube.

When you apply lipstick with a brush you work it into all the small creases of the lips and the pores actually absorb it. When you just spread it on normally from a tube, you are just coating the surface, it is not really getting into the lips, this is one of the most common reasons why we women end up complaining about lipstick not lasting long enough.

A good lipstick brush can also help you to define your lips in ways you simply cannot imagine. It is like painting a portrait, I don’t know what I would do without my lipstick brush at this point it has become a part of my makeup routine that I count on.

I use a lipstick brush with lip gloss too if it does not have a built in applicator brush. I am telling you, you will see a massive difference in the way your lips look and the way they feel too! Lipstick brushes make all the difference, don’t let it take you as long as it did me to figure this out.

If you want the best lip gloss…

One of the [tag]best lip gloss[/tag] brands and colors I’ve come across lately is Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector. I have tested out this entire line of Clarins skin care and beauty products and am in love with each and every one of them. But this [tag]Rose Shimmer lip gloss[/tag] has a special place in my heart.

This [tag]Clarins beauty line is the[/tag] essence of this new era in skin care and makeup. Mark my words, all of the other makeup and skin care companies are going to be all over their breakthrough results trying to figure out how to make it work for them too.

Anyway, back to the best lip gloss review. [tag]Clarins Light Lip Perfector[/tag] is stunning both in texture, taste and results. Let me break it down for you so you don’t get as overwhelmed as I was when I tried this best lip gloss for myself:

1) Lip Gloss Texture

All I can say is WOW! While too many of the newer lip glosses are heavy and almost gel like, this lip perfector actually is light. It certainly lives up to it’s name on that point.

It is smooth and stays on for a surprising amount of time considering the lightness of the lip product. And because of t his light airy feel, I didn’t have the constant urge to wipe my mouth off. I could think about other things besides whether my lips are falling off my face due to the excessive weight of the gloss.

2) Rose Shimmer Lip Gloss Taste

I am not exactly what the taste and scent is but I love it. It doesn’t have that gross fatty smell like lipstick can and unlike some lip glosses it is soft and gentle so it won’t get annoying.

3) Color and Shimmer Factor

This is Clarins best lip gloss yet and it’s not because it is a big bright bold color that will stand out for miles and miles, instead it’s the best gloss because it won’t do that. This is a lip perfector, not a lip hider. It is a soft and natural color that will only add to the color of your lips, not replace it.

The shimmer adds depth and shine to your lips and it will have people looking at you and wondering: What is it about her that looks so different and better? Rather than them saying: Her lip gloss is a pretty color. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather people talk about me than my makeup.

4) Clarins Lip Gloss Applicator

I have heard some complain about the lip gloss applicator on this tube but I personally love it. I am sick to death of the hard plastic applicators with the one single hole in the center. They can make getting the lip gloss on evenly a chore at the best of times.

Instead of going with this cheap route, Clarins has instead chosen a spongy felt tip lip gloss applicator. I love it! It is soft and since the gloss comes out of more than one hole, your lip color goes on more evenly. The tip is so soft, it’s like taking your lips to the spa.

Bottom Line:

I’m a huge fan of Clarins Instant Light Lip Perfector. It is at the top of my best lip gloss review list. Go on and try it, you’ll see why I am such a fan. You should check out the entire line of new Clarins light perfector makeup and skin care products. They are all unique and ground breaking in terms of makeup and skin technology.

Gorgeous makeup for flawless skin

If you want gorgeous makeup for flawless skin then I am so excited to be able to share the perfect skin care tips with you here and now.

Recently we have seen silver and gold shimmer in [tag]face makeup[/tag] but now things are taking a turn, a much more exciting turn for the better. Now you want to look towards metallic bronze. Giving your skin a luminous glimmer with this type of face makeup is easy and fun.

So how do you use gorgeous makeup in metallic bronze? Easy, dust it on the places light hits naturally on your face. This would be the top of your cheekbones, tip of your nose as well as your chin.

If you just hate the idea of a metallic bronze anywhere but on your lids then look for an illuminating highlighter. You would put this in the same place.

Tips to highlighting features with gorgeous face makeup:

TIP ONE:
There are gel based highlighters out there with glitter and shimmer in them but I wouldn’t recommend most of them. They are often on a sticky side and the slimmers tend to be quite large. If you can test it on the back of your hand to see how it dries and how the shimmer lays on the skin before you buy it.

TIP TWO:
If using a shimmer powder use a large brush to deposit the face makeup to the skin, this will give you a seamless look for flawless skin.

TIP THREE:
And if you are going to be using a liquid highlighter then choose a good quality sponge to bend the makeup products well.

TIP FOUR:
If you find that there are just too many sparkles in one area and it does not balance with th rest of your makeup, then just use a sponge to spread them out of take them off and reapply your gorgeous makeup.

Keep your skin soft and dewy this summer

Summer skin has a tendency to get red, tight and itchy not to mention dry. All that sun and heat can take a real toll on your whole body. Your skin may be suffering because you are becoming dehydrating. [tag]Hydrating your skin[/tag] is essential, absolutely essential.

The best way to keep your [tag]summer skin[/tag] looking soft and dewy is to keep drinking lots of water. Have a water bottle filled with clean, fresh water at all times. You may want to get a steel or aluminum water bottle because there is some concern about whether hot plastic bottles leak dangerous chemicals into the water.

Another key way to keep your skin hydrated during summer is to have a spray bottle with you. That way when your feel your skin getting hot you can spray it with some clean water too cool it down and moisturize it.

Staying away from things that dehydrate you like alcohol and caffeine will also help you to keep your skin hydrated. Sweet juices that are filled with sugar also deplete your moisture levels.

So make sure you drink more than 8 glasses of water per day. When the weather cools down the standard 8 will do but while the weather is hot and we are enjoying summer you need to drink a lot more than that.

Take care of your summer skin and you will have a much younger, dewy-er look.
