My Eyebrow Threading Experience

Posted in: BEST Of..., Make up Tips, Skin Care

So, I am not gonna lie, I was a bit skeptical of my beautiful brows being handled by a total stranger but after seeing my sister’s chicken mcnugget eyebrows transformed into nice girly eyebrows, I was pretty confident I could trust her eyebrow girl. Turns out she is an eyebrow guru! She has been threading eyebrows for over 5 years and even learned from the same girl that threads CHER’s brows. Ok, even more relaxed knowing she had extensive brow training Anyway I’ll cut to the chase…my eyebrow threading experience…

So since I have been doing my own eyebrows forever, and seeing how good my sister’s looked, I decided to hit up Heidi @ Urban Calm Spa Downtown San Diego. It is a cute little place on E Street that offers a full Day Spa menu… massages, facials and of course eyebrow threading. I have heard of it before but I was eager to learn exactly what it was all about.

Here is a shot of my BEFORE brows, not too shabby but I like to think of it as… the best just got BETTER! Click to read more about my eye brow threading adventure! Fabulous for both men & women

Bare Escentuals FAUX Tan

Posted in: BEST Of..., Featured Products, Girly things I love!, Skin Care

Guys & girls in need of a sunless tanner that actually works? I know Summer is pretty much over but here in San Diego Summer never seems to really end, skin always seems to be exposed even in the Fall/Winter so let’s not give up on our tans just yet. I always am trying new self tanners because I am VERY anti tanning beds, and I finally found one that really works well! It keeps me tanned for at least 5 days and looks super natural. It definitely made me a few shades darker over night.

Bare Escentuals Faux Tan Self-Tanner:

A healthy, natural-looking tan all year long. Within a few hours of application, your skin will look warm and luminous and last that way from 5 to 7 days. Because you see the color as you’re applying it, you’ll know if you’ve missed a spot. Its natural-based formula moisturizes and protects without irritating sensitive skin.

Benefits:
Faux Tan won’t let you look streaky. Because you see the color as you’re applying it, you’ll know exactly where to put more or if you’ve missed a spot.

Its natural-based formula moisturizes, hydrates and protects the skin with aloe vera and vegetable-derived emollients.

It does not clog the pores or irritate sensitive skin.

For the best results, shower, exfoliate REALLY well, towel dry off, dry completely for an hour to allow pores to close, and apply with rubber gloves before bed. Let the tan sit on your skin at least 8 hours to get the maximum results!

$22 bucks on Sephora.com, click below to read more or to order, you will love it!

Juice Beauty Products

Posted in: BEST Of..., Featured Products, Skin Care

It’s funny how I never seem to get tired of trying new beauty products, ahh I love my site Anyway, the latest skin care products I am trying out are by a company called Juice Beauty. I know, I know, another beauty line? Here is what makes Juice Beauty unique:

*Juice Beauty products are made of antioxidant-rich, 100% organic juices. The creators behind these products wanted to create an organic, healthy alternative to skin care!

*Juice Beauty offers clinically validated age-defying results. Studies show an 85% reduction in free radical skin cell damage.

*Juice Beauty products are free of parabens, petroleum & pesticides.

I was sent a handful of items to try and while all of them were great, my favorite product was their Blemish Clearing Serum. It actually made my face clear of all blemishes just as it promised. The Blemish Clearing Serum is made up of organic apple, lemon, and raw cane sugar blended with vitamins and co-enzyme Q10 which evens out your skins tone and texture. I did notice a smoother more radiant look to my already ravishing face ahahahah

I also loved their skin peel. You just apply it, leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse. It is nice to sort of remove old, dead ugly skin, and this product did just that!

MAC’s Prep+Prime Line Filler

Posted in: BEST Of..., Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Gift Ideas for GIRLS, Make up Tips, Skin Care

Lip lines, wrinkles, creases? Fill ‘em up! Forget botox, try out:

MAC’s Prep+Prime Line Filler, $17.50

What is it: Prep + Prime Line Filler is a targeted deep wrinkle filler with long term skincare benefits that uses a unique technological breakthrough. Line Filler plumps and smoothes skin and drastically reduces the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines.

A combination of Gatuline Expression™ and Argireline work together to relax the appearance of facial tension and expression lines, as well as boost the skin’s natural collagen production. Line Filler produces immediate results, but will also help eliminate the appearance of expression lines with continued use. The product is designed to be used under or over makeup and can also be used to touch up throughout the day.

So what happened when I tried it out? To be honest, I did not notice a huge difference, but I did notice a little smoother of skin before putting on my make up. I think this product might be more beneficial to women who have deeper wrinkles and lines. I don’t have much to work with (Not bragging ok…) but seriously I think this product would be awesome for anyone who has serious under eye puffiness or lines.

Where you can use it: Crows Feet, Laugh Lines, Under the eyes to reduce puffiness. Pretty much anywhere!

Pros: It is thick and creamy, and blends flawlessly into the skin. Helps reduced under eye puffiness and makes foundation glide on.
