New Boscia Luminizing Black Mask

Since learning of the new mask from Boscia I have been doing a little research and it sounds amazing. Its getting great reviews and the way it works to pull off the impurities like a Biore strip I am intrigued. Can’t wait to get my hands on a tube.

At last! The wait for a truly innovative product is over. boscia, the leader in preservative-free skincare, introduces its next breakthrough in anti-aging: the peel-off Luminizing Black Mask. Launching TODAY, July 29th, this new skincare must-have features high-performance active ingredients, combined with pure botanicals sourced from around the world.

The boscia Luminizing Black Mask is a powerful peel-off purifier that boosts skin’s clarity and radiance by minimizing hyper-pigmentation and refining pores. What sets this product apart from any other is the peel-off delivery system, in which the mask adheres to the skin, forming an even, shiny, opaque black “veil.” Once the mask is completely dry, it is peeled off, stripping the dead skin and all impurities!

Ideal for all skin types, the Luminizing Black Mask is rich in natural clays, minerals, extracts, vitamins and antiseptics – all infused to deliver exceptional deep-pore cleansing and exfoliation while drawing out impurities, bacteria and excess oil. Simultaneously, it delivers powerful antioxidant protection to prevent future free-radical damage that results in wrinkles, dryness, and dullness.

boscia’s NEW Luminizing Black Mask (2.8 fl oz.) retails for $34.00 and is available now exclusively at Sephora, sephora.com and bosciaskincare.com.

Sunless & Skinny!

I received a sample of Fake Bake Sunless and Skinny and I’m not going to lie I was a little worried when I first applied it. The lotion is a chocolate brown color which is awesome for even application but I was worried how dark the color would end up as I am pretty fair. But my worry was for nothing the color developed to a  beautiful bronze. nI like that Sunless and Skinny is a build able color so you can get a beautiful sunless tan shade that is perfect for you not too dark  or too light.

On top of being a great self tanner it helps tone and firm your skin. I have just been using it for a week so I am not at the full effects of the product but I can say the skin on my legs looks and feels much better. I am not sure if its supposed to be a benefit but I don’t seem to need to shave my legs as often they are staying smooth an extra day MAJOR selling point for me. A great product for a healthy, beautiful tan.

Fake Bake has taken what they do best — self-tanning, and combined it with
their new patent-pending formula that measurably diminishes cellulite. The
end result is a smoother texture to the skin that appears within three to
four days.

smoothing dimpled skin and is enriched with botanicals that tighten for a
more youthful appearance. The high-quality ingredients coupled with two
tanning agents make Sunless & Skinny the most unique, advanced formulation

Fake Bake’s beyond-easy to use products make tanning out of the bottle the
easiest it’s ever been! Sunless and Skinny is available at top retail
outlets and on the website here. Bonus – For the product price of $21.99,
Fake Bake will add a complimentary Undercover Babe Lip Gloss with a value of

Makeup Tips from Glamour.com: Sneaky Ways to Make Your Beauty Products Last Longer!

Beauty products are a little like our best friends—they’re fun and always there when we need a little pick-me-up. That’s why we love ‘em so much. Since some products come with pretty hefty price tags, Glamour rounded up some fab tips on how to get the most out of your favorite makeup products—straight from several genius beauty bloggers we know, including  Glamour’s own Girls in the Beauty Department!

Glamour gave 14 tips, I picked my favorites! See the other tips here!

Drop your purse and shatter one of your favorite products? Worry not, ladies: “If a shadow or pressed powder breaks…you can add a few drops of rubbing alcohol and press the pieces back together. The powder will reset in the product’s metal pan,” says Blitzer.

I love this one! If a hair conditioner is doing a “meh” job on your hair, don’t toss it just yet. “If I ever have a hair conditioner that isn’t doing the job, I use it as a shaving cream,” says Annie Tomlin, BellaSugar editor.

For bronzer that’s almost given its all—or isn’t quite the right shade to use on the face—“mix the remnants with a moisturizer to create a pretty, shimmery lotion and apply like a highlighter to arms and décolletage,” suggests Glamour’s own Susan Cernek.

The best $5 you will ever spend.

 

I received a sample pack of Luxor Style Stix and could not get them out of the package fast enough! The work so much better than I could have even hoped just roll your hair around the stix while it’s slightly damp and in less than 10 minutes you have the most amazing curls that will NOT quit. I tested the stix on my daughter and after a whole day of playing and messing with her hair the curls remanined bouncy as when they were first unrolled. I tried washing my hair at night and then rolling my hair with the style stix once it was slightly air dried. They were comfortable enough to sleep in and when I woke up my hair looked amazing.

I love them so much I have been telling anyone who would listen, a few friends have given them a test run and no matter the length of hair or texture we are all left with gorgeous curls. Next up I am getting a few more packs in differnt size to try out different curl looks. Seriously the most fun you can have trying different styles for under $5!
