I came across a new cleanser yesterday at the Origins store called A Perfect World Deep Cleanser with White Tea. It was just released this month and I decided to test it out for myself.  It’s formulated for skin that’s environmentally challenged. This foaming face wash is made with nature’s silver tipped white tea. The cleansing action of Palm, Coconut, and Oat Amino Acid deeps cleanses the skin. It detoxifies and free the skin from radicals that causes skin aging oxidation, dehydration, and irritation.

I was quite impressed with this dirt grabbing cleanser. It’s a creamy cleanser but it lathers up very well. It really left my skin clean and refreshed. It did a great job washing off my makeup and it has lovely scent too.

Great product and one I would definitely recommend.

If you are like me with thin eyebrows, then I have some great tips for you on getting sexy brows. My brows are very thin on the ends of my eyebrows so I always use a brow liner to make them appear fuller. I was talking to an esthetician the other day and she gave me some advice on ways to get my eyebrows to look full again.

So here it is:

1. When you sleep on cotton pillowcases, it causes the hairs on our eyebrows to get yanked from the root which is why most people have thin eyebrows on the ends of their brows. She suggested changing my pillowcases to silk which can help stop my eyebrows from thinning out. I said to myself, “Wow… I would have never thought of that.”

2. Putting castor oil on the sides of your eyebrows that’s thinning will promote hair growth. You can apply a small amount on your eyebrows right before you go to bed.

So, by using these two tips, you’re eyebrows will grow back overtime. I just bought my silk cases yesterday and the castor oil too. Until it grows back, I will continue to use my brow pencil.

Anastasia Beverly Hills has a great brow pencil called Go Brow which is a Universal brow pencil. It has two ends and they both work together to create perfectly shaped brows. One side of the pencil is a universal brow color and the other is a highlighter. This brow pencil works for any skin tone. It’s easy to apply and it last for a long time. I bought this pencil a week ago and it looks great on my brows. It blends in very well.

So this is a great brow pencil to use if you have thin eyebrows or if you want more defined brows. Also, try using the tips above to get thicker brows too. Either one will give you sexy, fuller brows.

Want beautiful healthy skin? Then it is important that you drink a significant amount of water daily to keep your skin hydrated. Our body weight is made up of 60% water so we need it for proper functioning of our body too. I know it can be difficult to stay away from juices, sodas, and other beverages so here are 6 reasons why you should incorporate water in your diet.

1. It keeps your skin looking great. Well this is an obvious one, yet we still tend to consume massive amount of beverages daily. Truth is, if your skin looks tired, so do you. By keeping your skin hyrdrated, your skin can do its part and remove toxins that builds up inside. Toxins can come from the environment and from you as well, so it needs to be removed constantly.
2. Healthy Heart- Drinking a good amount of water can actually decrease your chances of heart problems such as a heart attack. Water thins out the blood in your body which makes it easier for blood to pump through the heart. So, your heart will do less work and last longer.
3. Water gives you energy. Being dehydrated is no fun and with the summer heat still blazing, you are more likely to suffer from dehydration if you’re not consuming enough or any water. Dehydration takes away all your energy and makes you feel tired. It can also lead to fatigue, dizziness, and weak muscles.
4. Decrease risk in some cancers. Our digestive system needs a significant amount of water so drinking more of it can help cure problems with the digestive system that leads to some cancers. Drinking more water daily has been known to reduce the risk of colon cancer by up to 45%. It can also reduce the risk of bladder cancer by 50% and reduce the risk of breast cancer.
5. Weight loss and Exercise- Water is the best choice for losing weight because it replaces high calorie drinks which has a lot of sugar and carbs. It also makes you feel less hungry by acting as a stomach suppressant. It’s imperative that you drink water before and after exercising to keep you hydrated throughout your workouts. Dehydration can slow down your workouts so make sure to take a bottle of water when heading to the gym.
6. It’s CHEAPER! Why spend a $1 on a 16oz or 20oz soda when you can buy a gallon of water. You can get more with your money and it’s healthier. It’s also been said that tap water is just as clean and safe as bottled water so go buy a filter for your kitchen sink and drink free water from home.

So how much water should you drink a day? Well that question has been debatable for sometime now. “Drink 8 glasses of water a day” is a lot of water to take a day if you factor in a person’s body weight, if you exercise a lot, or if you’re sick (just to name a few). Your best bet is to come up with some routine. Drink water between and during meals, before and after you exercise, and when you wake up.

So if possible, drink less beverages and more water to maintain the health and beauty of your body.

Clinique Fall 2008 Collection is looking pretty HOT. Their trendy makeup this makeup is straight from the runway by taking the matte look and making it modern. It looks hot and I’m very surprised at how great their collection is this fall! This collection features lipstick, eyeshadows, and more. Such a variety of products and colors.

Lips

Clinique’s new High Impact Lip Color is the next generation of lipstick which is HOT, HOT, HOT! It’s long lasting wear, feather resistant, and comes with an SPF 15 to protect your lips from the sun. There are 20 different colors to offered; but the Red-y to Wear, a red wine color, is a true beauty. I just love the color red!

Cheeks

Clinique BlushWear Cream Stick delivers a healthy hint of color to your cheeks. Very subtle and natural looking. It goes on creamy but stays on as a powder. There are three different shades to choose from this Fall and this Cream Stick goes well on any skin tone or skin types. Oh, and it’s oil free which I love.

Eyes

Clinique’s New Colour Surge Eyeshadow Stay Matte comes with nine new shades this Fall. This eyeshadow is very easy to blend and buildable especially if you’re looking for a smokey eye look. The shadows are also sheer and easy to apply which is great if you are new to makeup and still learning the tricks of applying eyeshadow. Again, very easy to use.

So, I tested out a new product from Clinique called Long Last Glosswear w/SPF 15 which states that the lipgloss juices up your lips for 8 hours. Now, I came across a lot of products that make promises such as this one and they don’t deliver. Since I do wear Clinique and so does my friends and family, I decided to take on the challenge and try it on myself. So this weekend, I went to a clinique counter and tested a sample on my lips. Now, if it actually stayed on for 8 hours, I would buy it. If NOT, I would be very, very disappointed because I like Clinique and most of their products.

The results:

Well, first off let me say that I’ve always been a fan of Clinique and I was quite impressed with this gloss. It didn’t stay on for 8 hours like it said; however, it stayed on my lips for 6 hours which is still pretty long. I’ve never had a lipgloss that stayed on for that long, so I decided to buy the product anyway. I would give this product a 4 out of 5 only because it didn’t stay on as long as it said it would but it’s still one gloss I would recommend. They have over 18 shades too from sheer to pigmented! Sunset is my favorite. Price: $14

Here’s a new treatment kit I came across this past weekend. It’s a new hair treatment that is ideal for thinning, fine, weak or dry, damaged hair. I’m always frying my hair so I needed some kind of treatment to get my hair back to its lustfulness and shine. Something to restore the beauty and health of my hair and minimize the hair breakage from heat damage.

The kit is from Ojon called SWA Liquid Hair Building 4 Step ritual. I have used Ojon products in the past for my hair, which is why I was so inclined to try this new product.

This kit is to be used once a week for 8 weeks. It penetrates the hair to rebuild and restore the protein bonds in the hair. It increases the strength of the hair and targets hair density loss. It also forms a protective shield around it which provides antioxidants and minimize hair breakage. What’s also great about this kit is that it’s made from natural ingredients. So, no sulfates, alcohol, or artificial color.

The kit includes:

• 8.44 oz SWA+Nourishing Conditioner
• 8.44 oz SWA+Stimulating Cleanser
• 2.5 oz SWA+Hair Juice Daily Leave in Treatment
• (8) 0.24 oz SWA+Concentrated Liquid Hair Boosting Serum with Two Applicators

So far, I have tried one treatment, and I already notice a change in my hair. My hair is silky and more manageable so that is a good start. I will keep you posted.

Hello All!

For people who suffer from oily skin, you should check out this new product I am using for my face. Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque removes impurities from the skin surface, which helps reduce oily skin breakout. I’ve been using it for two weeks now and it is great. I definitely see a difference in my skin. Less breakouts is one of them. If you suffer from breakouts and/or have oily skin, it’s good to use a clay masque once or twice a week to refine the surface of your skin, thus improving your skin’s health. All it takes is 10 minutes to skin clarity.

So the refining masque includes:

• Kaolin and Bentonite clays to remove the excess oil on the face.
• Botanical extracts of Mallow, Arnica and Cucumber, plus Zinc Oxide to help reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.
• Purifying Watercress, Lemon and Ivy to help revive dull skin.

Again, it’s a great masque for acne sufferers so check out the Dermalogica website and view other cool products from them. It is a little pricey. I bought mine for $32, but it’s worth it.
