Dermafirm

First to recommend

Description

Cellulite must be one of the worst things that can happen to a woman - don't you agree? It is hard to know who will get it as it is not caused just by fat but primarily from a lack of collagen in the skin. When the collagen weakens that is when you see the dimples - I know because I am one of thousands that have cellulite. I hate wearing shorts or a swimsuit as I have many, many dimples!

There are many products on the market that claim to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but how many are scientifically proven to work? DermaFirm has recently been launched and is proven to increase the production of collagen, creating smoother, toned skin on your legs. It has also been seen to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.

How does it work? There are two key ingredients:
VCPMg which is a form of Vitamin C and is a strong anti-oxidant and booster of collagen production.
Retinyl Palmitate is a version of Vitamin A and helps to keep skin stay soft and plump. Retinyl palmitate readily penetrates into the epidermis and dermis to increase significantly the skins composition to increase collagen, skin thickness, and elasticity.

Eating well and exercise are always important but they cannot increase collagen. Collagen takes at least three months to really reach it's maximal level of production. It is suggested that you use DermaFirm twice a day and that an elevated collagen level can be seen as soon as six weeks.

My thoughts: The cream smells very nice - maybe a vanilla something? Not sure. It smooths over the skin and leaves it feeling velvety and not greasy at all. I tried it on my neck and my thighs and I do feel that my skins texture is beginning to improve. I think that after another month I will really see the difference.

Here's to better looking swinsuit body!

DermaFirm is available online and at select spas nationwide. For more information visit www.dermafirm.com (via Lipstick, Powder 'n Paint)

Not Soap, Radio - Spa Chocolate

First to recommend

Description

If you like chocolate, and I mean really like it, then do I have the product for you.




Not Soap, Radio's Spa Chocolate is a luscious pampering, three pack that contains an exfoliating sugared body polish, an ultra-whipped cocoa butter body soufflé and a purifying face mask all made with real cocoa, a dash of vanilla and a hint of nutmeg. Yummy.


Sugared body polish – Premium cocoa butter nourishes as brown sugar crystals and pure ground cocoa beans buff away dead skin, revealing soft, radiant, delectable skin.


Whipped body soufflé - Add incredibly emollient cocoa butter, shea and nutrient-rich fruit oils to sweet cocoa and viola – the ultimate all-over moisturizer.


Purifying Face Mask – Kaolin, the gentlest of clays, pulls dirt and toxins from skin, while the caffeine in cocoa firms, tightens. Use 1-2 times per week to restore skin’s natural vitality. For any and all skin types.


I have tried this kit and I was amazed how wonderful everything smelled. I slathered myself in the body soufflé one night and drifted off into a delicious sleep. The scrub was fantastic and smoothing some rough skin off my thighs and left them smooth and soft. My husband loved the face mask and asked if he could eat it. It almost felt like I was rubbing really milk chocolate on my face!


At $22.00 this would make a great gift for someone.

Besame | Enriched Lip Glaze

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

Bésame recently added a new product to their timeless cosmetic line - The Enriched Lip Glaze.

This sweet smelling, creamy gloss is enriched with vitamins A, C, E and green tea extract to keep lips kissably soft for hours. Other ingredients contained in this luxurious glaze are, anti-aging marine collagen to promote lip shape and fullness, aloe vera, macadamia nut extract, sweet almond oil and squalene.

What is squalene? I didn't know so I did a little research...

Squalene has several beneficial qualities for the body. One such benefit is that it assists in keeping skin moisturized and healthy and its anti-oxidant capabilities help to protect skin from the harsh effects of the environment. It is widely found in natural products such as - olives, palm oil and wheat germ oil. However, the largest concentration of Squalene is from deep sea Shark liver oil. Who knew?!

The Enriched Lip Glaze is available in 6 pretty colours that can be worn alone or over your favourite lipstick.

Bésame cosmetics can be found in several boutiques around the USA. For a full listing visit www.besamecosmetics.com (via Lipstick, Powder 'n Paint)

Pure & Petal Hair Fragrances Official Site

First to recommend

Description

Elizabeth Pyshnov of Montreal, Canada, has developed four fresh fragrances that are specifically for the hair.

Elizabeth says “I wanted my hair to smell freshly-washed between showers. I tried to use eau de parfum on my hair, but not only was I worried that the alcohol would dry my hair, I also found that traditional eau de parfum and eau de toilette were too heavy and overwhelming when used on hair”.

Pure & Petal launched in November of this year and will provide you with silky feeling, fresh-out-of-the-shower smelling hair, all day long. With silk protein and provitamin B5, these products won’t cause frizziness or dry your hair out.

If you are like me and hate having to wash your hair every day, just to keep it smelling great, using a hair fragrance can allow you to skip a day or two of washing and styling, while still keeping your hair fresh. Another great feature is that these fragrances are so light that you can wear them and your favourite perfume, without them competing against each other.

I can honestly say that I like all four of the fragrances - which is unusual for me as I am so fussy. What I like is that they really are fresh, light and not sweet nor sickly smelling. I think my favourite is Heavenly Clean and my husband likes Summer Passion.

The four fragrances are:
Sublime Citrus
An uplifting citrus fragrance made with sweet orange and pink grapefruit essential oils
Heavenly Clean
A clean, bright fragrance with notes of freshly-washed laundry mingling with fruity-floral notes
Linden Blossom
A sophisticated, feminine fragrance with notes of linden flowers and a splash of grapefruit essential oil
Summer Passion
A sweet, seductive infusion of fruity notes.
