More Amazing Things to Love From Mama Mio Face Care!

2013-11-11T09:30:00.000-08:00

If you have never tried any of Mama Mio's fabulous products, you have been missing out! Founded in London by four beauty experts, Mama Mio's skincare expertise gives them the know-how to create an awesome product. Each product is created to solve their own skincare issues that they, like the rest of the female population, want to overcome! They use only the best ingredients at the highest potency to ensure that every Mama Mio product really works. They believe that, "whatever your shape, your age or your stage, if your skin looks fit, toned, nourished, strong, touchable and glowing, you will feel gorgeous and if you feel gorgeous, you will look gorgeous!"

Here are two of my new favorite Mama Mio product that I've been using:

Clean Slate Aloe-rich gently foaming cleanser ($32), rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 with probiotics is sulphate and soap-free formula will give you a quick, gorgeously fragrant deep cleanse with no tightness for happy, clear and balanced skin! I love Clean Slate because it's really gentle yet really effective and doesn't leave my face feeling tight or dried out.

Mama Mio Love Your Life Lines ($48) is a fantastic formula that will give you an immediate and a long term result. This concentrated light-reflecting cream is packed with eleven actives to plump and improve the look of deep facial lines. A trio of peptides help skin look firmer with a youthful bounce while grape stem cells, algae extract and Vitamin C technology re balance and clarify skin for smoothness and strength.

Since I'm doing everything I can to put off getting Botox, I'm all about other alternatives to ridding my forehead of the lines that have magically appeared within the last couple of years. Love Your Life Lines is visibly working for me! I've been using every night for about ten days and I've really noticed a difference...I guess I won't have to cut bangs after all!

Mama Mio Clean Slate Cleanser and Love Your Life Lines Deep Line Treatment can be found at MamaMio.com along with all of their other must-try products!

Set Your Sights on Radiant Youth with Epionce Renewal Eye Cream

2013-11-10T12:12:00.001-08:00

Help reverse the signs of aging skin, fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles around your eyes all the while strengthening and hydrating the natural skin barrier of the delicate areas around your precious peepers!

Well all have those adorable fine lines around our eye area and not just because we're getting older! I like to believe that the lines show that we've had some fun squinting in the sun and laughing so hard our eyes are watering. Having said that, I realize that every woman over twenty five has stared in the mirror making distorted faces watching those little lines around our eyes change size, get deeper and even disappear if we open our eyes wide enough and raise our eyebrows halfway up our forehead.

Epionce Renewal Eye Cream is perfect for all skin types and is ideal for those of us who want smoother, firmer under-eyes. Wait, isn't that all of us? Epionce is a front runner in my eye cream arsenal. My under-eye area is sensitive so I have to be very careful what I put there. Epionce is gentle and paraben-free so even sensitive skin, like mine, will love you for using it!

Intense, Long Lasting Lip Color by SENSAI

2013-10-23T06:21:00.000-07:00

Have you been searching for a long-lasting lip color that won't make your pucker go as dry as the Sahara halfway through the day? If you're like me, you're always on the hunt for the perfect lip color that will last all day without having to re-apply every hour or so. Sadly, most of the long wearing lip colors I've tried turn my lips into a cracked mess by the end of the day and I find myself adding a topcoat of lip gloss or even lip balm in hopes of reviving my pout.

Yesterday I was feeling particularly blah, but since I had made plans to go sweater and boot shopping with a girlfriend I pulled myself together the best I could. I was in no mood for a hair wash and blow dry so I swept my messy locks up into a ponytail and pulled on my comfy jeans. I made my way downstairs for much needed coffee and was instantly cheered when I saw my new tube of Sensai Lip Colour sitting on my counter...I had forgotten it had arrived in the previous days mail! I immediately swiped on the bright, berry shade (#109, Neshoubu) and voila! My dull "blah" face was instantly transformed into my "I'm going for a minimal makeup look today because my lips are so bright and amazing" face!

Not only did Sensai Intense Lasting Colour instantly brighten up my face, it lasted...and lasted...and lasted! My lip color lasted from the time I walked out the front door in the morning, through a Black Tea at the Coffee Bean, several stores and even lunch! Around four o'clock I headed out again and swiped on a very thin layer of Sensai. It lasted through a grueling Costco trip and dinner. I had to wipe it off with a makeup remover cloth before bed! Even better? It
didn't dry my lips out at all...not one bit! Sensai Intense Lasting Colour by Kanebo is my new go-to lipstick...now I just need all of the other amazing hues!

Sensai can be purchased at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.

Celebrity hairstylist Angelo David Pisacreta of New York City’s Angelo David Salon shares tips on how to replicate the look he created for actress Kelly Rutherford’s August 2013 cover shoot with Social Life Magazine.

Hair by Angelo David:

3) Angelo used extensions to add more body. Attach the pre-styled Angelo David Couture Clip-on Hair Extensions

(for more information please visit: https://www.angelodavid.com/couture-hair/couture-extensions/) onto the back section of the hair.

4) Blend the hair seamlessly using the Angelo David Paddle Brush ($35-$65; available at https://www.angelodavid.com/store/brushes/), while maintaining the soft curls.

5) Finish the look with a light hold spray.

Thymes Classics, A Classic!

2013-08-07T09:21:00.000-07:00

Oh, Mama Mio!

2013-08-06T11:46:00.000-07:00

Obsessed might not be the word I'm searching for when describing O-Mega Body Buff by Mama Mio but it's all I can think of after using it! I AM obsessed! This stuff is amazing! What exactly is this amazing product, you ask? It's a micro-ground pumice, sweet almond oil, aloe vera, chamomile and vitamin E all rolled into one super duper body scrub! Turbo exfoliating has never been faster and easier. Rub a small amount all over your dry skin before hopping in the shower, rinse off, shower as usual and voila! Skin softer than you can believe! You can even use it on your face for a deep exfoliation that won't dry your skin out or cause pimples....ahh-mazing!

Another little gem from Mama Mio is 'Get Waisted' Body Shaper, the ultimate waist whittling rehab for your abs! This is the 'holy grail' of slimming potions packed with 9 proven ingredients designed to help stimulate circulation, eliminate puffiness, tighten your tummy, discourage fat deposits and help re contour your waist. Say what?? YES!

How it works: Get Waisted works by increasing the energy levels within your skin, boosting firmness, tightness and increasing lipolysis. Lipolysis is the natural action that happens when your fat cells release the 'energy' within them - ie fat - to give your body fuel. Get Waisted has 7 ingredients that are designed to increase this natural action on the fat cells within your skin plus 2 skin firmers and tighteners. We want to be totally realistic on this - it is not going to remove large fat deposits, like adipose fat. That takes a combination of Get Waisted, exercise and eating well! But the combination of all these is going to give you a triple whammy result - smoother, firmer, tauter skin around your waist.

This seriously is the best body shaper. It has been tested independently by Weight watchers and many publications like Daily Mail - Weight watchers tester claimed 'I lost an inch in 30 days by simply using Get Waisted' and The Daily Mail gave Get Waisted the award of 5/5 Best Body Shaper against all the competition.

Simple: The Sensitive Skin Experts

2013-07-27T10:24:00.000-07:00

I'm excited to share my favorite brand, Simple with you! Even if you don't have sensitive skin as I do, Simple will still become your favorite product too! I'm a big fan of cleansing facial wipes since it makes removing eye makeup a cinch before bed, but Simple has gone one step further and introduced an Exfoliating Facial Wipe that's double sided so you can remove makeup and exfoliate all in one. The facial wipes are full of Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E with Aloe Vera, leaving your skin soft and healthy.

If you're not into facial wipes, Simple has a few facial washes and scrubs for you to choose from. I personally like the Moisturizing Facial Wash because it nourishes as it cleanses and it's 100% soap free so won't leave your skin with that tight soap-like feeling. Although I haven't been much of a toner user since I was in high school, Simple makes a very gentle, soothing toner that I've been using over the last few weeks. It's packed with "skin loving" ingredients like Chamomile, Witch Hazel and Allantoin and it's 100% alcohol free so won't give you a dry, tight feeling after toning.

The area around my eyes is super sensitive so I'm always very hesitant to try new products there but Simple Eye Care is so gentle it didn't irritate the delicate skin around my eyes one bit! The Soothing Eye Balm soothes and realizes tired eyes while Simple's Revitalizing Eye Roll-On reduces the appearance of puffiness and wakes up tired eyes by instantly cooling and gently massaging the eye area. Almost like placing cool cucumber slices over your eyes.

Vital Vitamin Day Cream with SPF 15 and Vital Vitamin Night Cream are now staples in my skincare routine. The Vital Vitamin Day Cream moisturizes and protects all day with Pro-Vitamin B5 and Vitamin E. Vital Vitamin Night Cream helps restore and replenish the skin's moisture balance all night long without feeling heavy or greasy.

I can't rave enough about Simple and the products the "Sensitive Skin Experts' have come up with! Simple products are available at all major drugstores and is affordable! You won't find anything over $15! For more information about Simple please go here SimpleSkincare.com

New From Supergoop! CC Cream You'll LOVE!

2013-07-19T10:58:00.000-07:00

The Secret to Amazing Hair in Half the Time!

2013-07-16T13:31:00.000-07:00

I generally dread the blow-drying portion of my daily routine. Especially during the summer when I'm already sweating after a hot shower even though my air conditioning is blasting! During the hot months I try to limit my hair washing and blow-drying to every other day, but we all know second day hair just doesn't look that great. Well, I'm happy to introduce you to My Amazing Blow Dry Secret, a shampoo, conditioner and spay that will cut your hair blow-drying and styling time in half!

What's so amazing? My Amazing Blow Dry Secret gives you simply amazing hair in up to 50% less time than it usually takes you to blow-dry your hair. These products work by speeding up the evaporation of water, as they hydrate and protect your hair during blow-drying and styling.

My Amazing Blow Dry Secret Shampoo and Conditioner gives you a luxurious cleansing and conditioning experience that helps dry your hair even faster. The shampoo and conditioner feature an exclusive coconut oil-based water-wicking system. Known as the Virgin Coconut Oil hydrosol Accelerating Dispersion Matrix, it disperses the water throughout the hair so it can evaporate faster!

The Quick Dry Shake' N Spray is a multi-use styler for ALL hair types. It features an exclusive two part formula with quick dry agents in the top clear half, and conditioners, moisturizers, thermal protectors and frizz fighters in the bottom pink half. Just shake them together to blend the ingredients and spray into damp hair. The quick dry agents evaporate rapidly, taking the water with them so you can dry your hair in half the time!

Spend Your Summer with Hampton Sun!

2013-07-15T14:20:00.000-07:00

Although I don't spend weekends in the Hampton's during the summer months, I'm a fan of Hampton Sun's sunscreen! The Continuous Mist Sunscreen is my favorite since it sprays on with such a fine mist you don't even realize you're protecting your skin from sun damage. Continuous Mist is oil free, waterproof and contains Aloe Vera so it has some staying power which is important to me since I feel like I've been over heating since June!

Privet Bloom by Hampton Sun is another summer staple! This delicate scent "captures the purity and elegance of summer in the Hampton's" With it's fresh and unique blend of lily of the valley, white hyacinth, sea spray, dune grass, blue plum and the captivating privet blossom you won't believe how amazing and perfectly fresh Privet Bloom smells!

Containing Aloe Vera, Chamomile and Vitamins A-E, this body mist will cool and hydrate your skin while you bask in the sun! It doesn't offer any SPF so I would load up on Continuous Mist Sunscreen SPF 35 first!

Cindy Crawford Gives Your Skin Meaningful Beauty!

2013-07-12T09:55:00.000-07:00

Ever notice that supermodel Cindy Crawford doesn't seem to be aging? In fact, she may even look younger and hotter today than she did 15 years ago! Obviously I want to know how this is possible as I'm sure every other woman on earth does! Well, here we go, now we can experience her fountain of youth secrets via her skin care line, Meaningful Beauty!

First, I'll start off with Meaningful Beauty's new Creme de Serum: the newest, most scientifically-advanced treatment from Meaningful Beauty. Combating the signs of aging with the power of a serum and the rich, moisturizing effects of a crème, these two power house ingredients work together to fight signs of aging with three powerful anti-aging ingredients: Super-antioxidant melon complex, anti-aging peptides and hyaluronic acid. This amazing Crème de Serum will help protect your skin, increase hydration and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!

My second favorite Meaningful Beauty product is the Advanced Formula Lifting Eye Crème. It's enhanced with optical diffusers designed to address the telltale signs of aging around the eyes (the source of most of my fine lines!) Lifting Eye Crème packs intense under eye moisturization all the while fighting off the effects of environmental stresses. I've been using the Lifting Eye Crème for about ten days and have noticed a major change in my under-eye area. I have less visible fine lines and on those few mornings after too many glasses of Pinot Grigio (hey, it was a holiday weekend!) the Lifting Eye Crème seemed to calm down any puffiness I had going on. Love!

Lastly, I have to mention Meaningful Beauty's Glowing Serum. We all have a day here and there where we'd rather stay in sweats or yoga pants and watch the Real Housewives all day on the couch than face the world and somehow our skin matches our mood on those days, well, in walks the Glowing Serum to save the day! Known as the "model's secret", this ultimate skin radiance booster not only helps fight free radicals but also helps to protect the skin from further damage. On my "blah" days I apply the Glowing Serum on my skin after cleansing and I mixed it with a couple of drops of my usual daily SPF moisturizer and my skin looked instantly more peppy than I felt! A few key ingredients are Pumpkin Extract, Vitamin C, Soy Protein and a Firming Complex that all work together to make your skin look gorgeous!

All of Cindy's Meaningful Beauty products, including my favorites talked about here, can be found at MeaningfulBeauty.com

2013-07-09T09:59:00.000-07:00

I tried Suave Professionals Touchable Finish Hairspray and fell in love. I’ve been using Suave religiously for the past year and remain impressed! My hair stays touchable and soft with just the right amount of hold my hair requires. With my hair pulled back, I can spritz on the Touchable Finish Hairspray and not worry about looking like the Bride of Frankenstein if I take my hair down. (You know the look I’m talking about!)

Suave Professionals products are so lightweight. I haven’t had crunchy hair since 1993 and that’s the way I’d like to keep it!

Suave Skin Solutions Body Lotions introduce a new, richer formula that makes it easy to have beautifully moisturized skin all day long without the high-end price tag!

The three Suave Body Lotions that I have in different locations all over my house are:

Suave Smoothing with Cocoa Butter and Shea - Instantly relieves dryness to soften rough, dry skin.
Suave Soothing with Aloe - Soothes uncomfortably dry skin and rescues your skin from everyday stresses.

Beautiful Skin by Envy and Champney's

2013-07-02T09:30:00.000-07:00

Beautiful skin is important to me, even more so now that I am in my thirties. I only wish I had taken better care of my skin in my twenties! Although I am thirty something, I do still tend to get breakouts from time to time. One of my new favorite products that helps prevent and bust breakouts is the Skin Clarifying Acne Treatment Pads from Envy Specialized Skincare. The pads are alcohol free, so they won't dry your face out and contain 2% salicylic acid and the potent antioxidant and astringent power of witch hazel combined for maximum effectiveness against acne and acne causing bacteria. The Skin Clarifying Acne Pads contain aloe vera and menthol that calms and soothes even the most sensitive skin (like mine). I saw a noticeable difference in my breakout areas after just a few uses of the exfoliating pads.

Another new-to-me product is the Spa Indulgence Mediterranean Bliss Body Glow from Champney's. I knew of Champney's only because I'd seen an interview with Kelly Osbourne where she mentioned as a little girl she would steal her mother's Champney's products after she'd returned home from the Champney's Spa. Since Champney's is now available at Target I was eager to try something from the Spa Indulgence line. This body scrub is awesome! It's an exfoliating blend with sugar, olive oil, olive stone granules, coconut oil and shea butter that leave your skin feeling moisturized and dewy!
