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!

If you’re deprived of sun with no hols planned, you’re depressed about your whiteness and you want a golden tan whatever the weather, tanning salons and beds can be a solution, but they’re not as simple or harmless as you may think.The advantages of Sunbeds:Aside from the obvious summer skin whatever the weather, why do people risk sunbeds over other types of fake tan (pills, self tanners and moisturizers)?
First of all, salon tanning is quick and convenient, saves you from spending hours roasting on the beach to get the color you want, and gives you an even tan all over without bikini marks or redness. Home sunbeds are also available so you don’t have to move from your front room!From a more medical point of view, you get the majority of your required Vitamin D intake through exposure to UV light, so sunbeds can be used to treat problems such as psoriasis or vitamin D deficiency. Some advice, Do not expose yourself if you have phototype I or II skin or you’re under 18 (because your skin is still very sensitive), if you are going on holiday or you already have sunburn, if you have a large number of freckles/beauty spots or skin problems.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Cream has been given by skin-care consumers and reviews and high marks. It contains a vitamin called retinol. Retinol is a derivative of vitamin A, which is said to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. It is free of fragrance, and at the same time free of oil. Skin care experts recommend for daytime use the version that has SPF 15 sunscreen. They however wished that it also contained UVA protection. It may be noted that SPF indicates protection against UVB, but it is not the same for UVA. In one of the reviews, Neutrogena’s anti-wrinkle formula was said to be comparable to Estee Lauder’s Diminish Retinol Treatment, however, it is available at a drastically lower price.

Coming from the experts’ mouths, here we have Darphin’s Fibrogene Line Response Nourishing Cream. If forehead lines due to old age are your concerns, or probably dry skin due to climate change, then Fibrogene’s the cream you should choose for your skin care. It nourishes the skin, resolves the stiffening of your facial muscles and for the aging people, it reduces the lines and wrinkles on your face. The standard price of a 50ml bottle of this cream is around $87.00 (expensive, I know), but the results are fantastic. Experts wouldn’t be recommending this if it weren’t anyhow.

If you plan on changing your old, bulky exfoliating gadget, then might as well switch to Le Edge. It’s small, handy and it doesn’t require you to buy any kind of chemical-based exfoliating cream or lotion—just water. For the allergic, this one’s for you.
