Gotta check This Out! ~ St. Tropez Tan Detox Bath Oil (Removes Excess self-tan)

By Makeup Addict · June 30, 2010 · 0 Comments · 749 Views

St. Tropez Tan Detox Bath Oil  $35.00 Available @ Nordstrom

This salon-inspired home treatment is designed to remove unwanted self-tan buildup, leaving skin ultrasoft and smooth. Tan Detox is a pampering bath oil that combines a luxurious blend of lavender, lemon and hazelnut oils to help create a calming spa-like environment at home. Ideal for use as part of your beauty regime, Tan Detox returns the skin to its normal tone, ready for a fresh application of self-tan. Includes a gentle exfoliating cloth.

 

Makeup Addict wishes that St. Tropez Tan Detox Bath Oil had been available many times when my self-tanning went astray.  This actually sounds heaven sent for the many mishaps that happen with self-tanning.  Self tanning products are much more sophisticated and easier to work with now than they were but this sounds like a perfect backup plan.

 

New Product Alert ~ Tinted Solerra Tanne Tan Line Corrector

By Makeup Addict · June 30, 2010 · 0 Comments · 778 Views

 


Tinted Solerra Tanne Tan Line Corrector   $5.99 Enter 'TANEE' to save 10%  Available @ Solerra

The NEW Solérra® Tanee™ Tan Line Corrector ™, an affordable, multi-use, sunless tanner formula tube that fills in unsightly and embarrassing tan lines without the mess or fuss of lotions and creams.  The Tanee™ Tan Line Corrector’s ™ precise application easily covers pale or discolored spots and stripes with Solérra’s quality sunless tanning formula.  Applying the Solérra® Tanee™ Tan Line Corrector ™ is easy!  Simply pinch the thumb tab to break the inner seal.  Then, gently squeeze the tube to dispense the formula.  Apply to any tan line with the angled, sponge tip applicator.  Then, blend the edges and repeat after four hours, if desired, to increase the color of the tan.  Make sure the cap is on the product securely after use, so the Tanee™ formula does not  dry out or clog the sponge tip applicator.

Makeup Addict says is this Tinted Solerra Tanne Tan Line Corrector works like shown in these photos - WOW!!  At first I thought that any self tanner would do the same thing - but I am now thinking the sponge tip applicator might well be the necessary ingredient.  It seems like it would make it much easier to apply and distribute to only those areas you want to correct.  If I used my hands - I would, no doubt, go outside the lines I would be trying to fill in.  This does make it look like it should work and the price is amazing - even before the 10% discount.

Derm TV.com Weekly Update ~ Choosing the right sunscreen

By Miss Style Apothecary · June 29, 2010 · 0 Comments · 333 Views

Dr. Schultz’s tip and episode for the week of July 4th.  The tip is great and something Dr. Schultz commonly recommends to his patients: choose the sunscreen that you like the most in the 15-30 SPF range.  SPF 15 offers 88% protection from the sun's burning UVB rays; SPF 30 offers 95% protection; SPF 60 offers 99% protection; and, no sunscreen offers 100% protection.  So, choose the one that you like and will remember to reapply (no need for the goopy SPF 75).  Also, since everyone will be busy attending barbeques and other July 4th festivities, the www.DermTV.com episode is on how to treat insect bites.  Hope you enjoy!

Makeup Addict hit upon an article on Korres Quercetin & Oak Face Primer in 'Beauty Buys' (Marie Claire).  This was not an advertisement but simply a quick endorsement of Korres Quercetin & Oak Face Primer from Beauty Director Ying Chu.  I have become addicted to Face Primers since trying them.  She goes on to say that she is "forgoing hemy daytime moisturizer-foundation regimen this summer for Korres Quercetin & Oak Face Primer.  Its silicone-free formula smooths pores and lines, hyaluronic acid hydrates, and anti-oxidant quercetin (from oak bark) helps fend of UV rays."  Well, since I love primers anyway, how can I go wrong to research Korres Quercetin & Oak Face Primer - it seems to do even more than my present primers!!!

Frownies Corner of Eyes and Mouth Patches

By Makeup Addict · June 27, 2010 · 0 Comments · 1,302 Views

 

Frownies Corner of Eyes and Mouth Patches  $19.95 (Shipping Included in Price)   Available @ Frownies

Frownies Overnight Patches are the only products available dermatologist approved that retrain the muscles below the skin to release the unattractive creases that have developed and to relax into a smooth, natural position. Frownies do this without any harsh chemicals and since they are changing the shape of the muscle they provide lasting results that continue to improve with continued use

Before crow’s feet become deep stop them, by hydrating well with Immune Perféct and using FROWNIES Under Eye Collagen building patch tilted to cover the corner of the eye. These lines start as dry skin that loses its’ elasticity. Lines starting to appear at you might try the Under Eye Patch and Immune Perféct first to build lost collagen and add deep hydration.Crow’s feet that have been there some time and are deep into the muscle where you can feel the wavy muscle then separate the line gently after applying Immune Perféct put a CEM patch over the smoothed out skin. Apply the patch and leave it on at least three hours, but over night is best. After removing the patch in the morning Immune Shield is a beneficial wrinkle softening vitamin E serum to build back skin integrity. Under Eye Gel Patches help rebuild collagen.

Smiling, speaking and just talking produces lines from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth in some women. When this muscle is pushed back away from the mouth the cheeks and lips lose support creating what is sometime called a marionette wrinkle. Frownies Corner of Mouth patch splints this muscle and lifts it back into is supportive position. If this line if left to become deep it takes a commitment to wearing the patch every night for at least 30 nights to regain support. Start as soon as you notice the concern and you may be able to use the patch 3-4 nights a month and stop the progressive depth. Some women have used Under Eye Collagen building patches here to help build the tissue as well.
