The next best thing in beauty

Revlon has come out with something that I could only dream of in my childhood... Scented nail enamel!! Revlon's Parfumerie nail enamel line comes in scents including Fresh Linen, Pineapple, Beachy, Winter Mint, Fresh Rain and many others and begins to smell as they dry. I decided to test how well these really worked and went out and got Fresh Linen and Pineapple. Below is a picture of the Fresh Linen nail enamel.

I am OBSESSED!! Not only do they smell amazing, but I painted my nails last week and they haven't chipped yet! Because I have dry skin, this is AMAZING!! The polish goes on so smoothly and leaves a nice shiny lacquer that isn't too over the top. And, I even noticed that I would keep checking to see if the smell lasted, which I must say only lasted a new days but how exciting is it to see how the technology in beauty products is evolving into something one could only dream of in the past! You can find the Revlon Perfumerie line at any retailer that carries Revlon's products such as CVS, Target, or ULTA. In fact, ULTA is having a deal on Revlon's Perfumerie line where if you buy one nail enamel, retailing at $5.99, you get one for 50% off! Could it get any better??

If you haven't tried it yet, you NEED to go out and try one of Revlon's new scented nail enamels!!!

.:Fish Oil Benefits for Skin Care:.

If there was one thing I could recommend to add to your daily vitamin regimen, it would be to talk fish oil supplements. Fish Oil supplements can be used to treat many skin care problems but there are two that stand out the most.
Dry skin can be treated by taking fish oil supplements everyday. Fish Oil helps to improve the condition of poor and dry skin by making it shiny and glowing. It is also useful in treating various skin problems relating to dry skin including eczema, psoriasis, itching, redness of skin, lesions, and rashing. For psoriasis, fish oil restricts the growth of pro-inflammatory agents by producing arachidonic acids. This is an Omega-6 fatty acid normally found in peanut oils. Fish oils can also be applied topically to skin with psoriasis adding more oils where the skin is lacking them. Regular intake of Fish Oil supplements helps in reducing the loss of moisture in the skin which is the cause of dry skin. It is also said that fish oil can reduce the risk of sunburn.
Acne can also be treated by fish oil supplements. When it comes to acne, the fish oil from the supplements affects the formation of sebum in the hair follicle causing it to not get blocked and therefore stopping the cause of acne.
Skin care is not the only thing fish oil supplements are good for. Fish oil is said to improve eyesight, treating various health problems, treats ulcers, may treat ADHD due to the high amount of fatty acids, fish oil aids as a weight loss supplement, improves blood circulation, and is believed when taken regularly, can improve immunity as well as many other things.
Now where can you find Fish Oil supplements?
You can find them in all grocery stores such as Trader Joes, and Whole Foods as well as Mothers Market, supplement stores such as GNC, and other stores such as Costco, and Target. As well as being available almost anywhere, Fish Oil supplements are not expensive at all so your getting all these benefits at such a low price so it is totally worth it!

.: Microdermabrasion:.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion, also known as Micro, is a resurfacing treatment using tools or products designed to rejuvenate and restore natural glow to the skin, which can also be considered as a deep exfoliation. This procedure, when done by a machine, does not take any longer than 30-60 minutes and should be done every 4 weeks. It is not recommended that pregnant/nursing women or teenagers try this procedure due to the fact that their hormones might change the effects on the skin after the procedure.

Where can Micro be preformed?

Micro can be performed on your face, neck, chest, back, feet, or hands. Micro used to only be offered in Cosmetic Surgery clinics but now can be found at almost any spa/salon and in almost any product collection.

What is a good product to use?

Epicuren's Micro derm exfoliating cream can be used on any skin type. It is an advanced microcrystal exfoliating cream that gets rid of unwanted dry or dead skin cells, leaving the skin feel soft and smooth. This cream is designed for problem areas such as fine lines, wrinkles, congestion, pigmentation variations, and small scars. Some of its main ingredients include Lemon Extract, Orange Oil, Lime Oil, Glycerin, and Magnesium Microcrystals. Because of the Lemon Extracts, Orange Oil, and Lime Oil, this cream gives off the fresh citrus scent that awakens your scenes. To use this product, apply a dime sized amount or cream to damp skin and work in simple circles on face, neck, and decollete areas. Rinse thoroughly and follow with toner. Always remember to not use harsh circles or washcloth while applying or rinsing. Also, do not use this product more than three times a week as it is a deep exfoliant.

.:Whats Your Fall Scent?:.

Whatever your plans are for this fall, there is a fragrance for you! Whether your going to school, going shopping or going on a date here a a few new scents for this fall that can match your occasion.

If your looking for something sweet try Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson. This sweet fragrance is perfect to wear when going to school. With a bubbly mix of peach blossom and champagne, this fragrance will leave a sparkling trail down the hallway! Fancy Love by Jessica Simpson can be found in all Macy's stores, Sephora, Ulta and many other department stores and is priced at $49.00.

For a day at the mall, D&G's fragrance #18 La Lune is the perfect crisp scent to keep you feeling fresh. With a spritz of kicky green apple paired with the oh so girly white lily, D&G's #18 La Lune is a total confidence booster and will give you enough confidence to try on those edgy heels! This can be found in all major department stores for around $65.00.

Finally, when ending the night with a perfect date with that perfect guy, smell your best by wearing Marc Jacobs new scent, Lola. This Flirty scent is a infusion of vanilla and pear creating a sweet smell, but the hint of rose feels completely romantic! For a 1.7 fl/oz bottle of Lola by Marc Jacobs, look in all Bloomingdales stores as well as Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. This can also be found in Sephora stores as well as Ulta for around $65.00.

So when going out this fall, smell your best with each of these wonderful fragrances that can be used any time of day!

A Facial In A Bottle

Everyone loves getting pampered and going to the spa to get a facial but not everyone has the time or the money. Epicuren has created just the thing for you! Alpha Lipoic, created by Epicuren combines the technologies of a moisturizer, exfoliator, and a treatment cream into one. After your toner application, apply Alpha Lipoic Omega Serum over your entire face, neck, and decollette. Follow with moisturizer. Alpha Lipoic can be used once a day, preferably in the evening due to some retinol used in the formulation. If irritation occurs, you should reduce the use to once every other day. Always remember to use sunscreen after using this product and other products as well!
Alpha Lipoic Omega Facial Serum goes on light and makes your skin feel hydrated after just 5 minutes. It smells of natural herbs and botanicals used as well as a hint of Brazilian propolis. Due from the Brazilian propolis, those who have allergies to bees or bee byproducts should not use Alpha Lipoic because an irritation or inflammation may occur.
Alpha Lipoic, to me, has become a staple in my everyday skin care regimen and will continue to be until I find something better. (very unlikely!) Alpha Lipoic can be found where other Epicuren products are sold. It tends to be a little pricey running for about $70 per bottle but is well worth the price!

.:The Best New Treatment for your Hair:.

Tired of having to worry about dry, dull, damaged hair? MoroccanOil to the rescue! This lightweight oil for your hair is made from rare Argon oils used in Morocco as well as being rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E. All you have to do is apply a quarter sized amount into palm, mix by rubbing palms together, and massage into both scalp and hair. MoroccanOil is a great detangler, controlls frizz, repairs over processed hair, as well as hydrates and rejuvenates your hair making it feel fresh and soft. MoroccanOil doesn't leave the feeling of any oily residue in your hair and can be felt that it works in just one use! Another amazing thing about MoroccanOil is that it can be used to help repair dry spots on the skin or as a daily oil to moisturize the skin as well as the scalp. Along with being a great product, it is also 100% vegan and doesn't use any animal bi-products as well as each bottle and box can be recycled!
Even though MoroccanOil is more on the pricey side, it is worth every penny. I purchased a bottle of MoroccanOil after receiving a free sample from my hairstylist and I have been a fan ever since. For one 200ml bottle, prices range from $47 to $50. You can buy MoroccanOil at all MoroccanOil distributers at salons, or salon product stores such as PlanetBeauty, Beautology and other beauty retailers.
