I have had the absolute PLEASURE of trying a few N.V. Perricone, M.D. products since starting this website.  The first was Hydrating Nutrient Mask and I absolutely LOVE that product.  Laurie at N.V. Perricone was gracious enough to send me another product to try, and I can’t thank her enough!

Here is yet another wonderful product, and this time the packaging promised “Super Model in a bottle!”  I don’t know if I look like Petra Nemcova (here in February’s Maxim) but my skin is noticeably amazing!  Once you guys try this product, you’ll wonder how you lived without it!

Alpha Lipoic Acid is the universal antioxidant and nutrient all-in-one. It is found in our cells naturally, but only in very small amounts. ALA is able to function in almost every part of the body to eliminate free radicals.

This fortified body treatment puts to work skin-supporting benefits of Alpha Lipoic Acid and DMAE to tone the skin on the body. A superior, light-weight formula that leaves your skin feeling comfortable and protected, while your body appears beautifully contoured and the SPF 15 keeps it safe from sun damage.

Features:

• Helps skin appear more firm and taut
• Helps reduce the appearance of cellulite over time
• Provides broad spectrum defense from sun and environmental damage

As one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actresses, it was only to be expected that Angelina Jolie would develop a taste for caviar.But instead of eating it, she rubs it into her skin.

After losing a drastic amount of weight, the 32-year-old star has recently displayed bulging veins on her arms, hands and forehead while her normally-glowing appearance lost its lustre.

To combat this, she has become a fan of a £200-a-time treatment extracted from the eggs of Baerii sturgeon, reared on farms in the South of France.

In sessions lasting up to three hours, Brad Pitt’s other half is swaddled like a mummy to sweat out toxins before being smothered all over in the body cream. It promises to ‘drench the skin with moisture and nourishment’ and combat ‘loss of firmness and slackened skin’.

Because of the high oil and protein content of caviar, it is thought to be especially moisturising. The fish smell is removed as extracts of caviar are used instead of whole roe.

She has also been indulging in 90-minute facials using La Prairie’s caviar-based creams.

Miss Jolie became a fan of the treatments earlier this year in Venice, after discovering them at the Hotel Cipriani’s Casanova spa centre. Sir Mick Jagger, Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney and Kate Moss are also devotees of caviar facials, while Catherine Zeta Jones has been smearing the stuff on her hair to add instant gloss.

The caviar-based creams are produced by extracting vitelline – or yolk sac – from the sturgeon eggs.

The substance contains phospholipids, which are fats key to hydrating and softening the skin, as well as proteins said to contribute to the regeneration of skin cells.

TV beauty expert Nick Ede, who gives tips on shows ranging from GMTV to Project Catwalk, said: “Caviar is packed with proteins and salts, and has lots of vitamins. The nutrients in it make it one of the best things to put on your skin.”

But Jenny Harding, a skincare specialist from the London-based Dynasty clinic, said: “It is true there are omega 3 fatty acids in caviar, but you might as well put cod liver oil on your face.

“The best thing you can do with caviar is put it on a plate and eat it. By the time it reaches a cream, it has been doctored so much you are getting little benefit.

“You would do just as well swallowing a cod liver supplement every day to make your skin glow.”

The Ultimate gift for the girl who has everything! I had the chance to review No! No! hair removal system and was really impressed with the results. The price tag can be a little scary but if you regularly pay for waxing treatments you will quickly recoup your money. And for the girl who just takes the time to shave you will see a definite improvement with a much slower regrowth and reduction in overall hair regrowth.

The no!no! hair removal device doesn’t hurt and my fears of scorching pain were put to rest. According to the manual to effectively use the no!no! you need to “glide” – it’s a method that you quickly learn thanks to the no!no!’s signal light. The signal light will be a steady green when you’re working at the right speed and start to flicker when your timing is off. Within minutes I felt like a pro. While it is a little slower than shaving the results were worth it.

I’m impressed and happy with the results from using the No! No! hair removal system. In my opinion, the no!no! beats shaving any day. Shaving results in stubble within 24 hours while the No!No! averages 36 to 48 hours of smooth skin before the stubble appears. Of course, the strong point of the No!No! is that there is also much less hair that pops up after each treatment – shaving doesn’t reduce the amount of regrowth.

nono no!no! no!no! – Pink

What it is:
A revolutionary new concept in hair removal, suitable for all hair types and skin colors.

What it does:
Achieve hair density reduction at home, with no mess, no cuts, no burns, and no noise. No!no! is based on an exciting new technology called Thermicon™, which uses the scientific principles of thermal transference to conduct a gentle pulse of heat to the hair. It features a unique innovation: a thermodynamic wire to transmit the heat to the hair. This patented wire and built-in safety mechanisms has allowed for the adaptation of professional hair removal technology into a home use product.

What else you need to know:
With a no!no! treatment there’s no pain, you don’t have to wait for hair to grow long in order to remove it, and there is no skin irritation like in-grown hairs, red pimples, or rashes to cover up. Remember no!no! is a treatment process for hair reduction and not a miracle cure for unwanted hair. Like any professional hair treatment, it takes time and dedication to achieve your desired results. The same holds true for the revolutionary no!no! hair removal system; with all the right moves, stubble-free, super smooth skin will be yours. Be sure to follow the directions closely for the safest, most effective results.
-no!no! is not recommended for use on the face.
-The thermal heat signal destroys the hair, which is characterized by odor.
-no!no! is not a razor. Using no!no! in conjunction with the buffer will remove a majority of hair, but not all. For smoothest results, especially in the first few weeks of your hair reduction program, use a razor along with no!no! for a clean shave. Use the buffer to remove residue and maximize smoothness, then shower or bathe and follow with body moisturizer.

Everything you need to get started with no!no! is here: 3 short blades, 2 long blades, a storage bag, small brush to clean the no!no! device, a charger, and one buffer. Hot Blades and buffers are designed to last approximately three months (2 – 3 hours of treatment time). The actual life of a Hot Blade or buffer, however, depends on several varying factors among them: frequency of use, the area and type of hair being treated, and the stage of treatment you are in.
