Dress Up Your Eyelashes

Posted by Sophie on June 2, 2008

You’ll definitely get noticed with these extravagant eyelash extensions. They are longer, brighter and fancier than ever. Some lashes look more like a bird’s wings. There are plenty of choices of colors and styles for sure. The great thing about false eyelashes is that they are the quickest way to add drama to your face, just glue them to your eyes and you are ready to go.

Must-Have Makeup Brush

Posted by Sophie on May 24, 2008

must-have makeup brushDo you want a high quality powder brush that will last for years to come and offers a flawless finish?  Guerlain Meteorites Brush is just that and some more.  This gorgeous powder brush offers a mistake proof application of powder for the face and assures the powder is never over applied.

A 4″L brush comes in a Guerlain emblemed pouch which is perfect for traveling.  I adore the pink bristles against gold tone and a black handle…what an exceptional beauty tool this is!

Divine Lips

pink juicy lipsWhat’s worse than having cracked/chapped lips?  Ok, there are worse things but we all want soft and kissable lips.  Take care of your lips like you do your face and hair.  Give them extra attention and you’ll see a noticeable difference - like Angelina Jolie’s pillow lips!  Well, maybe not quite that much but close. 

Below are excellent lip care products that I love from firming to anti-wrinkle lip therapy.  Oh, don’t forget to put SPF on your lips!  Then, you can say hello to your new lips that are so quenched and so divine

Summer Natural Makeup

Posted by Sophie on May 18, 2008

Who wants heavy cakey makeup in the summer?  Not me.  I break out terribly if I wear heavy makeup mixed with sweat…yuck!  I like to wear makeup that’s light, natural looking and still looks absolutely beautiful. 

Here is my favorite makeup look from Rachel Bilson.  Love her subtle look that makes her glow from within!  Tinted moisturizer, hint of blush, lip gloss and a eyeliner is all you need.

Yummy Beauty Treats

Posted by Sophie on May 15, 2008

When I’m stressed and want that instant pick-me-up, I often indulge myself in sweet & delicious beauty treats.  Not only do these yummy products smell fabulous but they are also calorie free!  I love beauty products that are fruity, sweet and scrumptious especially on those warmer days.  I almost feel as if I had just eaten a big piece of pie or something.  It’s sure a sweet indulgence!  Pamper yourself with these beauty desserts but be warned - someone might want a big bite out of you cause you smell so yummy!

Must-Have Sunscreens

Posted by Sophie on May 10, 2008

best sunblockWe all know UV rays are very damaging to our skin.  Most dermatologists say no sun is good sun!  But to be realistic, they strongly recommend using a sunscreen all year round to protect the skin from the sun’s harm rays. 

I wish I had better knowledge about this when I was a teen baking under the sun for hours at a time without much protection.  Now, I never leave the house without a good sunscreen.  Here are my must-have sunscreens that far exceed other sunscreens in many ways.

 

Neutrogena Sunblock, Age Shield Face SPF 55
neutrogena age shield face sunblock
This breakthrough sun protection is PABA-free which is a commonly used UVB absorber in sunscreens but many people are sensitive to it.  The Age Shield Face Sunblock is the first line of defense against the signs of aging.  Also it’s oil-free!

 

Burt’s Bees Chemical-Free Sunscreen SPF 30
chemical free sunscreen
I love the fact that this sunscreen is 100% natural!  No chemical actives like octinoxate and oxybenzone so it reflects the sun’s rays naturally.  This wonderful non-greasy sunscreen will keep your skin hydrated without the chemicals that could be harmful when absorbed into the skin.

 

Innovative Skincare Powder Sunscreen SPF 20

Do you want a sunscreen that is light and airy instead of the usual creamy form?  If so, Innovative Skincare’s Powder Sunscreen is the perfect choice for you.  This easy-to-apply UV blocker is an excellent sunscreen for people with sensitive skin.  The powder(sun medium) will give you a gorgeous glowing tan as soon as you apply it.  Works great for all skin colors, skin types and ages.

 

Show Off Your Beautiful Feet

summer foot care

Look at those sexy feet!  It doesn’t matter if you have gorgeous hair or you are wearing the cutest outfit…but having scaly and stank feet?  No thanks!  Now is the time that you need a good foot care regimen in order to show off the most amazing feet in the hot summer days.  Before you even start thinking about putting on your favorite nail polish, you must first exfoliate & hydrate your feet. 

Make your feet softer by massaging the feet at the end of each day to get rid of the tension and stress.  Also don’t forget to put on SPF on your feet before you step out the door…SPF is not just for your face!  While you can get spa pedicure treatments which is a very pampering experience, the cost can add up pretty quick.  You just need a few key products to give yourself the best foot care treatment in the comfort of your own home!  Here are some of my favorite foot care products.
