I’m always on the lookout for new lipglosses and I think we have a winner here! From Bare Escentuals comes Marvelous Moxie, glosses that multi-task! Not only do these hydrate the lips but they add color and wow! lots of great shine.

There’s also a slight lip plumping thing going on, my lips look pillowy soft without being over the top. These come in ten shades, my favorite is probably Show Off, a pale pink but the coral color of Party Starter is a close second. These have a ever-so-slight cinnamon essence to them which I find pleasant.

You should  know that Marvelous Moxie glosses contains shea, avocado, and murumuru butters which give lips nice moisture! Highly recommended!! Find all colors and more here.

Erica Y. Chung’s passion for creating the “Perfect Product” lead her to co-found 3LAB with her husband, David Chung. Together, this dynamic husband and wife team have a combined 40 plus years of beauty retail experience and set out to create 3LAB, the perfect anti-aging skin care collection.

If you haven’t tried any of 3LAB’s anti-aging skin care products you are missing out! The stuff is simply amazing and worth every penny. 3LAB’s brand new Ginseng Skin Care Collection, includes, “The Cream”, “The Serum” and “The Eye Cream” are all formulated to address and treat all of the signs of aging from wrinkles to skin tone imperfections.

It is this quest for the ultimate results-oriented product range that drives Erica Y. Chung to work tirelessly, along with the chemists, in her cutting-edge laboratory and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. The result? A line of new and highly effective high-end skincare products that keep the promises to their claims by using the most innovative and technologically advanced ingredients available – like Nano-Claire GY™, the world’s first bio-engineered growth hormone and apple stem cell technology.

3LAB’s “The Cream” is an ultra-hydrating cream infused with Wild Mountain Ginseng, an ancient remedy and proven healer, and modern technology and advanced ingredients to preserve a youthful complexion, prevent the signs of aging and lock in moisture so the skin remains plump, hydrated and gowing. Rare Ginseng stem cells along with Phytofix and Oristar ADS stimulate collagen production for the ultimate lift.
3LAB’s “The Serum” accelerates cellular turnover with rare Ginseng stem cells while a Yin Yang Extract blend balances the skin. Betafin promotes collagen production and provides long-lasting lift, while powerful brighteners target hyper-pigmentation, dark spots and frekles. Photonutrients activate the skin’s metabolism and helps keep skin youthful and glowing while preventing the signs of aging.

3LAB’s “The Eye Cream” combines Wild Mountain Ginseng and a peptide blend featuring Eyeseryl to provide superior hydration while lifting and firming the delicate eye area and reducing the puffiness of under eye bags. Rare Genseng stem cells along with fermented extracts, including Gwennis accelerate turnover and keep the eyes looking bright and youthful.

3LAB Skin Care products can be found at high end department stores everywhere and also at www.3lab.com

I am always, ALWAYS on the lookout for frizz fighting, smoothing hair care! I’ve yet to get a Brazilian Blowout (I certainly need one with summer coming!)  but with good haircare, you can get smoothing effects that keep frizz at bay. You can try the official Brazilian Blowout products in the comfort of your own home. This line includes Acai shampoo, and conditioner plus the following:

Acai Smoothing Serum

Acai Deep Conditioning Masque

Acai Restorative Sculpt & Define Polish

Acai Spray Shine

Acai Instant Volume Thermal Roof Life

Acai Protective Straightening Balm

I recently tried the Acai Shampoo and Conditioner and really liked  it. My frizzy locks were calmer and blowing out my hair with a round brush went a lot quicker and easier. The products smelled good and didn’t bother my sensitive skin. I’d love to try more from this line especially the Smoothing Serum.

Have you tried any of these Brazilian Blowout products? I bet the Deep Conditioning Masque would be ideal to use a few times a week to keep locks in tip top shape. For more information, please go to the official website!

This Epilady 4th generation is the best one yet!!!  To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the legendary shaver, they took all of their customers input over the years and used it to create a faster, smoother epilator head.  They also improved the electrical system and gearing system.  The wide epilating head ensures fast and smooth epilating action.

25th Anniversary Epilady 1986 – 2011

 This Epilady Legend is rechargeable, has anti-pinch technology with gentle massaging action to remove your hair by the root.  The faster motor gives you 32,000 tweezes per minute.  Removes even the shortest and finest hair by the root, leaving skin smooth for up to 4-6 weeks.  May be used on the arms, legs, underarms, bikini, and face.  Ergonomic design including rubber touch at gripping points to ensure a firm and non-slip hold.

Perfect Angle Guide (included) ensures the best epilation results right out of the box.  May be used corded or cordless. Charge lasts up to 60 minutes – enough for more than two full epilations.  It has 2 operating speeds and dual-voltage power adaptor (110V – 240V) for easy use overseas.

The kit includes adaptor, Perfect Angle Guide, cleaning brush, carrying case, and instruction manual.

There’s nothing better than a smooth shave that results in ultra soft skin and no razor bumps or burns! And when do we shave more than when the temps heat up and its time to hit the beach or pool? Throw out your old razors and get yourself the Bikini Kitty kit! You will not ever experience smoother skin than when you take the time to use these products.

This kit is designed for the bikini line and underarms and it features natural, organic ingredients. There’s a body brush to prep skin, a Smooth Shave gel,  Everyday Magic spray and a Razor oil plus a simple razor to get the most effective shave. There are steps in the  kit that you follow to ensure you are making the most of your Bikini Kitty experience.

I like taking the time to really pamper my skin. The Magic Spray is pretty amazing, it helps with ingrown hairs and red bumps. I encourage you to check out the online store, here. And although the Bikini Kitty kit is for underarms and the bikini line, I used this on my legs because I really love having velvet smooth skin all over!

Sun-kissed skin, by way of Borghese Summer’s about to heat up and if you want a rosy glow without the sun damage, Borghese has the answer.Their all over body bronzer is sort of a genius product. It’s got a brush attached to it and it’s filled with mineral powder which you can sweep over your body to look like you just spent a few hours in the south of France.

If you prefer a lotion, (I’m partial to the powder), try their Brightening Body Glow, a light diffusing lotion that brightens your skin and adds a voluptuous hint of shimmer, too. Even better, it’s boosted with vitamins A and E to moisturize and protect your skin. I also loved the bronzing face power, which contains three different shades to give you a shot of color on your cheek shoulders, or anywhere you please.

And for summer-parched skin, Borghese offers Summer Glow with SPF 20, a terrific oil-free tinted moisturizer. Of course, since it’s Borghese, one of my favorite product lines, everything glides on and feels terrific–plus I love the kiss of color all the products gave me!

You’ve seen the infomercial for rub away hair remover and thought “Huh? I don’t think so!” right? I’ve seen it a dozen times and even found myself reaching for the phone in a moment of impulse purchasing weakness to see how this could possibly work.  Before you judge, try it yourself without spending a fortune on the stuff they sell on TV. Bikini Zone Shower Buff Hair Remover can be found at any drugstore or specialty store for half the price of the infomercial brands.

Bikini Zone Shower Buff Hair Remover gently massages away unwanted hair instantly. It removes hair below skin-level for results lasting days longer than shaving. Shower Buff also gently exfoliates during use for soft smooth skin. With just a few simple steps you’ll be fuzz-free in no time!

After any hair removal, Shower Buff, waxing, shaving or depilating, I like to lather my skin in an after shave gel. Bikini Zone makes a medicated after shave gel with lidocaine to help ease the slight discomfort, irritation, bumps and redness that occur after hair removal. Bikini Zone After Shave Gel instantly stops irritation, redness and itching!
