Like liquid magic! – “I’m 48 and have been battling the enlarged pores (they look like craters on the Moon!), the famed number ‘11′ inbetween my brows, the lines on the forehead, and the parenthesis around my mouth along with the dulling sagging skin and yes some crapeiness…I went to bed and when I awakened this morning I was delightfully amazed. My skin is tight, my pores are non existent. My number 11, forehead wrinkles, and parenthesis are greatly ’softened’ and skin on my face & neck looks like it did when I was 30. All this after just 1 night. I can’t wait until tonight. Give this one a try, you won’t regret it and a little goes a long way.” —From QVC

Stellar product – “In just a short time, my skin looks better, clearer, really even-toned. I do not use foundation, just concealer here and there. What really impressed me is that I use less concealer and don’t feel badly about stepping out of the house without makeup. BTW, I am 59, slightly oily, with dark skin.” —From QVC

Perfume On-The-Go!‏

Between bag-check fees and ounce restrictions, packing and travelling can cause quite the headache. Fortunately, NEW Portable Spray Fragrances make life a little easier – from Halle Berry, Faith Hill and Baby Phat.

For short weekends and extended getaways this summer, be sure to pack some of the best-selling fragrances, now available in miniature .25 oz editions that fit perfectly in your purse, pocket or cosmetic bag. Packaged in stylishly compact metal bottles, the portable fragrances are unbreakable and damage-proof, ensuring safety even in the hands of baggage handlers.

PURE ORCHID BY HALLE BERRY

A captivating new fragrance by Halle Berry, Pure Orchid opens with top notes of crisp Italian Lemon, Papaya Nectar Fizz and Jungle Cactus Flower, while a heart of rare and exotic Masdevallia Orchid unfolds to reveal a mélange of scents. A touch of decadent Blackberry Crème Concentré and subtly sweet Star Anise complete the Orchid accent by creating a sophisticated, tempting accord, with a dry-down of earthy Giant Sequoia, Patchouli Leaf, and Tonka Bean providing a sensual and elegant base.

FAITH HILL PARFUMS

A sparkling floral bouquet with dimension and depth, Faith Hill Parfums beckons at the top with aromatic crisp pear, refreshing neroli and lush pink peony. Bold yet delicate southern magnolia, exotic jasmine, and gardenia create a sensuously elegant heart.

BABY PHAT DARE ME

This luminous oriental fragrance opens with an intriguingly smooth coconut top note that blends into a heart of velvety blackberry crème and vanilla orchid, with a warm drydown of crème de musk and sandalwood.

Available at most mass retailers beginning in May, the Portable Spray Fragrances from Coty retail for $9.99.

Miley Cyrus drops $24,000 on new hair!!

She’s only 17, but when it comes to her hair, Miley Cyrus is a first-class diva. According to an insider, Miley spent more than $24,000 on her recent extensions, importing the hair from Italy and flying out her New York stylist, Kristina Barricelli from Gemini 14 salon, to LA to do the ’do.’ “Miley bought the best hair possible, and then had it dyed to match hers exactly,” says the insider. “Her hair is an investment.”

Well, $24,000 – that’s reasonable, right? Jeez! Even if I had it – I can’t imagine spending that much on hair!

The Old Spice Guy Has a New Commercial!

I love these commercials!

The hot and hilarious Old Spice guy Isaiah Mustafa is back — and he’s not on a boat. Or in the shower. Or on a horse.

Instead, he’s balancing on a log in a lake, swan diving down a rocky waterfall and taking a dip in a hot tub — on a motorcycle. Following the tone of the original spot that went viral after airing during the Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl, Mustafa has a few questions for the ladies.

“Do you like the smell of adventure?” he asks in the ad. “Do you want a man who smells like he could bake you a gourmet cake in the dream kitchen he built for you with his own hands?”

Love it!!

10% Federal Tax on Tanning Starts Today!

Beginning Thursday, a new federal tax on indoor tanning goes in effect to help pay for health care reform.

The new tax is on tanning booths using ultraviolet bulbs. It does not apply to spray tans or tanning products.

The tax was a last minute addition to the Health Care Reform Bill and replaces a 5 percent tax on cosmetic surgery that was originally included in the bill.

Booth tanners are feeling more than burned getting their faux glow.

“I love the sun,” said Marcia Dellvenari. When she can’t follow the sun, she heads to Sunset West Tanning in Beaverton, Oregon, five days a week. “It helps my mood.”

Dellvenari is seeing red over a new 10 percent federal tax she’ll have to pay to help pay for the $940 billion health care overhaul.

“I think it is ridiculous,” she said.

For salon co-owner Keith Dixon, the new tax could be just the thing that drives him out of business.

“We’re barely making it in this economy, because that’s one of the first things to go on your budget — tanning or getting your nails done or whatever” he said.

Dixon lowered his prices so the tax would not be noticed by his clients.

“Our prices have stayed the same. But, that has also made us lose income” he said.

Health care professionals like dermatologist Dr. Kristen Stevens hope the new tax is a wake up call.

“For most people who are really serious about tanning I don’t think that’s going to stop them,” said the physician based at Providence hospital. ” We need, as the public and as physicans, to help people understand the damage they’re doing to their skin,”

Seventy percent of indoor tanners are young women, the same population that has the highest rate of melanoma.

“The World Health Organization recently declared ultra light coming from tanning booths as carcinogenic,” Stevens said, “placing it in the same category as asbestos, and plutonium and tobacco smoke.”

She hopes adding the tax will change the way society looks at tanning.

“Natural is the new tan,” said Stevens.
