Review: Prosilk Hair Products 2008-03-27 12:35:00 Prosilk Ion 2000PDI have to say, that this hairdryer blows me away! The Prosilk ION 2000 has to be one of the best dryers I have used in a long time. And I have used quite a few over the years. After using this one I realized that not all hair dryers are created equal. I have purchased some in the past that claimed to be light weight and turned out to be so heavy that I needed to rest my arm after a while. Not with this one though. It was light weight and easy to hold. Not only did it dry my hair efficiently but left it feeling soft and shiny. The Ions are what help create shinier, healthier hair.Product Description:Newly designed motor produces more airflow, drying hair faster. Safety System. Removable lint filter for easy cleaning. Turbo Switch. 4 Speed options for total control of heat Read more:Products

Natural Alternative to Botox! 2008-04-01 14:11:00 Are you getting tired of looking at fine lines and wrinkles that have crept up unawares without any warning whatsoever? Well I know I am, and I have a few of those creepy lines running across my forehead that happened to pop up when I wasn't looking. I for one did not invite them and I seriously think it's time they left. So how does one treat them without resorting to that lethal substance known as Botox? First thing I did was look for a natural alternative.(If you are thinking of trying Botox, I encourage you to read this article I posted on the Dangers of Botox. It just might change your mind before you succumb to the needle.)Let me introduce you to a product I have been using for the past week, called la glabre intensive repair day therapy cream.This product is said to diminish the app Read more:Natural

Paris Presents ecoTOOLS 2008-03-31 06:23:00 If you are like me and don't want to pay an arm and a leg for makeup brushes, then this set is for you! I happened to have found this 5-piece set of eco-friendly brushes at my local Walgreens store a few weeks ago for $10.99. I had heard about them months before and was so looking forward to trying them out. Finally after weeks of going back and forth to my local Walgreens, I was able to snatch up the last one there. These are by far the softest brushes I have ever used. These tools all have bamboo handles as well as animal-free taklon bristles which are made from soft, pliable synthetic hair, plus they don't shed. Not too long ago I purchased a well known brand makeup brush for $26 and it not only shed hairs but smelled like a goats behind! Seriously, it was foul smelling. The EcoTools br Read more:Paris

Lip Enhancing Gloss

Honestly, I don't know what took me so long.First of all, they come in 3 forumulas, Sheer, True, and Full color. They offer a variety of different color choices, so you will be bound to find one you will love.I have tried two of the formulas, each in a different color and I will tell you why I love them so much!At first I wasn't sure if the colors were suitable for my skin tone but after swiping a swatch on my hand, I immediately fe
LE 2 De Guerlain 2008-04-03 08:11:00 Perfection for all lashesOne tube, two brushes for every eyelash, without exception.The first one fills them out, lengthens, curves and separates them for a multidimensional result that opens up the eyes wonderfully.The second, a miniature brush tilted 7° to “catch” the tinier eyelashes and to give them the same finish as the larger lashes.Most of the waxes generally used in mascara have been replaced by two polymers, flexible and elastic, which provide volume and length without clumping, set the curve and guarantee exceptional hold.VOLUME + LENGTH + CURVE + DEFINITION =THE DREAM FORMULA.No need for four mascaras and a make-up artist’s touch. Today, Guerlain
has made the dream a reality thanks to a remarkable innovation.GUERLAIN
A Great Website Find: Fancl 2008-04-02 12:36:00 I happened to stumble upon this website called Fancl (in Japanese and English),which features a new line of preservative-free makeup as well as traditional skincare and makeup. Not only that but they also offer supplements, green tea and the popular skin care brand called Boscia as well.While browsing through the site, I happened to see this neat compact type lip card that contains 10 shades of preservative-free Red or Pink lipstick shades, all for $5. This is a great cost effective way to try out the brand as well as the lip shades. Great
for carrying in your purse when you need a touch up on your lips. And at a great price that can't be beat. Fresh Period 3 year if unopened / 1 year once openedFANCL is "Pure"FANCL products contain no preservatives, antiseptics, disinfectants, petroleum s

Sun Sauce Is All You Need! 2008-04-08 09:06:00 Who needs the sun when you have Sun Sauce. Take it from me, an ex sun worshipper, this sunless moisturizing lotion will give you a subtle tan without the dangerous side effects. I have spent most of my adult life perfecting the bronze look. I became so addicted to it that I spent a good part of my time just soaking up all the rays that I could in the summer. When winter came, I graduated to the tanning beds. Not long after that I began hearing about the dangers of sun exposure to UVA and UVB rays primarily from tanning under the sun as well as tanning beds and so I decided to seek other alternatives. I have tried a lot of different kinds of sunless tanning over the years, lotions, tanning towels, sprays, you name it, I've tried it. Some were so laced with perfumey smells, that they would

for half the cost. It is made from the same hair and is textured the same way. The only difference is the Mac 187 is a tiny bit denser. This brush is great for buffing and blending. And at $20, you just can't beat this great price. Check out Mellies Makeup for more cosmetic brushes and while you are there, take a tour of the site, I am sure you will find something you will love.Mellies Makeup

La Mer Review 2008-04-11 08:30:00 I recently had the opportunity to try several La Mer cosmetic products and I have to tell you, I think I have found another Holy Grail foundation to add to my list.La Mer offers two formulas in The Treatment foundations. One being a creme and the other a liquid. The first product I tried was the Treatment Creme Foundation SPF15. This luxurious creme is formulated with the same La Mer's anti-aging properties. It's a souffle like weightless creme that comes in a glass jar along with a hard plastic spatula. The spatula comes in handy for removing the foundation, which is a better sanitary choice than having to use ones fingers and risking the chance of contamination.I tried using my foundation brush but the application did not seem to work too well for me. I then used the handy little spatul
