Beautiful Men?

Timmy — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 01:03:56 +0000

My younger brother, Francis, is a metrosexual. While I lug around a �kikay� kit my brother is never with his �pogi� pack, a vanity case filled with his very own personal care essentials.

Metrosexual is a term used to describe heterosexual men with a strong concern for their physical appearance. Metrosexual men are often thought of as gay because of their high maintenance beauty and health care regimen and style philosophy of looking neat and polished.

Metrosexuality is a fairly recent phenomenon. Men are becoming more mindful of their looks and health, their lifestyle in general; and isn�t that a good thing? This emphasizes the fact that beauty and the desire to be beautiful is not gender specific, men can be beautiful, too!

What do men have in their �pogi� packs? Check out these sites for personal care products designed especially for men:

Battling the Cold: Some Tips on Moisturizing During the Cold Months

Timmy — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 01:03:14 +0000

The �Ber months usher in cold winds and while we enjoy the more fashion-friendly climate in our layered frocks, fuzzy sweaters and stylish coats, dry hair and skin and chapped lips are realities we all dread.

Our skin is the largest organ of our body and we must take very good care of it. The cold weather dries up the water in our skin. When it lacks moisture, our skin becomes dry, rough and scaly.

To keep the skin properly hydrated and nourished we must all:

1. Eat a healthy and balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables;
2. Drinks lots of water;
3. Apply a good moisturizer that replenishes the nutrients lost by the skin; and
4. Take in fresh air

Well-moisturized and properly hydrated skin feels supple and smooth and looks radiant. Moisturize daily and with smooth skin, enjoy all the hugging and the cuddling the cold season brings!

Make-up brushes

editor — Mon, 10 May 2010 03:17:23 +0000

Make up brushes are essential to beauty maintenance. This is why it is important that we take good care of our make-up brushes. Be sure to keep them on a dry area tucked safely away from dirt and dusts. It is a good idea to invest on a good make up brush that has exceptionally fine bristles as any under standard ones can clog the pores. It is also important to keep the brushes inside plastic or airtight containers so as to prevent it from absorbing humidity in the air. In cleaning your brushes, and this you should do once or twice a month, use lukewarm water and then blow dry it with a dryer. Do not use the same brush on another person for hygienic purposes, or if you do, be sure to clean it thoroughly as courtesy to the next user.

Peptide wrinkle cream

editor — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:35:17 +0000

Different kinds of wrinkle busters have been introduced in the market: from milder treatments such as lotions and masks, to the more extreme ones such as Botox and other plastic surgery methods. Some worked but apparently, some didn’t (it really depends on your skin though). So, for those who are desperate and already have extinguished all the possible methods in removing their dreaded wrinkles, better check this new product out.

They call it the Peptide Wrinkle Cream. It’s new, it’s different and it’s better than the previous anti-wrinkle products available in the market. The key features of this product are:

1. It reduces the density of your wrinkles
2. It makes the rough areas affected by you wrinkles smooth
3. It increases your skin’s suppleness and enhances skin tone
4. And it slows skin aging.

Probably most of the anti-wrinkle products you’ve had promised you the same thing, but treat this product differently: it is jam-packed with different kinds of vitamins and minerals such as Aloe Vera, Emu oil and Omega 3, 6, and 9. No other anti-wrinkle product can do that to your skin.

Let it glow, let it glow, O-Glow!

Timmy — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 01:00:46 +0000

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!

Nails and The History of Nail Polish

Timmy — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:34:34 +0000

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, nail 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.
