3 LAB "M" Cream: a-M-azing.

May 09, 2009/

Amazing in a word. For the ultimate in a moisturizing lift, this cream is the cream of the crop, so to speak. The cream of a very rare swiss apple, as a matter of fact.

I don't know how they do or how they would have even thought to have discovered it, but the world class scientists over at 3LAB have used the stem cells from a rare swiss apple to develop this cream.

“M” Cream hydrates and firms the skin with Nano-Claire GY^TM, the world’s first bioengineered growth hormone. PhytoCellTec^TM Malus Domestica, stem cells from a rare Swiss Apple that have been proven to slow down and delay the aging process. Happybelle, a plant-based beta endorphin, stimulates key enzymes in the receptor system helping to relieve skin aggressors and bring out natural radiance while fighting the root causes of environmental damage and also contains Osilift which immediately firms the skin and relaxes muscle contractions.

In easier to understand terms, not only does this Swiss Apple help slow down the aging process, it greatly improves skin firmness, while helping it look more lifted, toned and bright. Trust me, you will be swiping the sides of the jar as it runs out in order to get every last drop.

The price tag is pretty steep at $250. But if you are a skeptic or one that likes to try before you buy, there is a deluxe sample size of "M" Cream included in this quarters edition of Beautyfix. And this sample size will last you a good 4 - 6 weeks, just when you will discover that you cannot live without it any more.

Lisa Hoffman Skincare Vitamin A & C Serum.

May 06, 2009/

I like to change it up to lighter formulas in the warmer weather. Instead of using creams, I use lotions. Instead of using thick heavy serums, I opt for serums that continue to work well, while feeling lighter on my skin.

My favorite warm weather serum is this one from Lisa Hoffman Skincare. It is her Vitamin A & C Serum.

This heavy duty serum is actually a water free formula that delivers effective doses of Vitamins A and C to the skin to provide anti-oxidant protection to maintain skin tone and provide firming action.

Global Goddess Beauty Spring Cleaning Tips.

April 09, 2009/

I recently received an from Global Goddess Beauty founder Shalini Vadhera, where she shared some spring cleaning tips.

These are not your average spring cleaning tips, this is more along the line of what you need to throw out and refresh your makeup bag with. As spring is a time for refreshing and renewing, I though it a perfect time to share her tips with you.

Spring is here and for many of us that means spring cleaning. Freshening up our wardrobe and home is a given, but what about preparing for the warm months ahead by junking that dried up mascara and dirty foundation and treating yourself to some fresh, new & now replacements. Cleaning out your makeup drawer is a healthy way to keep your look clean and fresh throughout the year, and definitely a healthy way to start the spring off right.

Follow the guidelines below for the cleanest & healthiest makeup drawer all year round and make sure that when time is up you replace your old products with shiny new ones so you can continue looking as fabulous as possible!

When to say goodbye...
Concealer: Up to 12 months Powder: 2 years Cream & gel cleansers: 1 year
Pencil eye liner: 3 years
Eyeshadow: 3 years
Foundation: 1 year
Lip liner: 3 years
Lipstick: 2 years, but if it starts to smell, replace it
Mascara: the fastest of these cosmetics to expire, will last no more than 3 months!

Here's a trick to keep your cosmetics lasting as long as possible. Use clean brushes, not fingers, for a healthy application. Brushes should be washed every 2-3 months in a mild detergent and laid flat to dry. If they begin to fray or split, replace them in order to ensure the smoothest application.
