Growing up in the 90’s, my cousins and I had a blast trying on clear lipstick that turned a different shade of red or pink, sometimes even orange, when applied to the lips. O-Glow brought back fond childhood memories.
O-Glow is a revolutionary cheek-color from Smashbox. The clear gel transforms into a pretty shade of pink once it comes into contact with the skin. The great thing about it is that it simulates the color of your natural blush and with the matte finish, you don’t look like you have make-up on!
Aside from making you look oh-so-pretty, this gel blush has Goji Berry C-Complex that is rich in anti-oxidants that makes the skin oh-so healthy.
Try it and discover your own shade of pink!

Revlon® knows that beauty can be all things to all women. It can be frivolous, it can be chic, and it can be natural or glam. Using the right products and a little bit of insider knowledge is all it takes. Revlon’s journey of innovation began in 1932, when Charles Revson, his brother Joseph, and a chemist named Charles Lachman (providing the ‘L’ in the name) devised a revolutionary product – the first opaque nail enamel to use rich pigment as a base. It opened up the possibilities of colours and shades never before seen: pinks, corals and the trademark ‘Revlon® Reds’. The Revlon® brand vision of providing innovation and excitement through quality products still applies. Today the brand is sold in over 175 countries and is recognized as a true global beauty brand.
Nail polish can be traced back to at least 3000 BC when it originated in China. The Chinese found ways to use gum arabic, egg whites, gelatin, and bees wax to create varnishes and lacquers for the nails. The Egyptians would use henna to stain their fingernails. In China, as well as in Egypt, color represented social class. During the Chou Dynasty, circa 600 BC, gold and silver were the royal colors. Later, royalty starting wearing black or red nail color. Lower ranking women were only permitted to wear pale tones. Wearing royal colors without being royalty was punished by death. Modern nail polish is a actually a variation of car paint.
Estee Lauder released a new breed of mascara. It doesn’t smudge (Zero Smuge is the promotional tagline of the brand), it makes your lashes look longer, and it stays for as long as 15 hours. Yes, 15 hours. No retouch, no tissues needed. Perhaps, that is where the mascara got its name: Double Wear.
The mascara has been designed to defy humid climates (beneficial for tropical countries) so you will never encounter smudging (mascara melting on your eyes). The brush is also designed to separate the lashes from each other, creating that long lash appearance. As per how to remove it, you will only need warm water and cleanser to rub off the mascara off your eyes.

It is not new to us that M.A.C. products are very trendy and seem very appealing to lots of women. Personally, I love MAC’s eye enhancer makeups and just recently, I found this MAC Shadow Sticks which has double use. You can actually use it as an eye shadow and eyeliner at the same time. What’s best with this shadow stick is it can be used as a base coating for eye make ups because of its texture that it helps powder stay much longer. Its texture is silky rich, creamy and smooth. You can see it in different colors which is good for eye styles that is in right now. To ensure a smooth glide when being applied, better warm it first by rolling the stick between your palms.

Most beauty products come with claims that are seldom proven and tested scientifically enough to prove they really work in the real world. These cosmetics products simply state their claims and the consumer is expected to accept this as definitive proof that it does. As we all know it, it doesn;t always work and can even lead to some complications due to the minute differences people have in their skin chemistry. Now one particular anti-aging product, namely Boot’s No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum, has undergone just a study and guess what, it really works. Now this isn’t to say that we are endorsing the product but the scientific data from the UK is indeed showing the product to have resulted in the production of more fibrillin, the chemical compound that results in healthy skin.
Exfoliating regimens should take away the dead skin cells that are part of the skin’s lifecycle yet too much can damage the skin beyond repair, leaving it unable to grow fresh and healthy skin cells. Using gentle exfoliating solutions and creams/washes work best for they do the job well and leave the proper amount of moisturizers to give the developing skin cells ample nourishment.
