Beat those Bumpy Winter Beauty Blues

I was sent a sample of PFB Vanish to try and I really like it. I wasn’t sure if it would burn or feel uncomfortable but there was no irritation at all and it left my skin super smooth. After shaving  or waxing you simply roll it onto your skin and your skin is left smooth and irritation free. 

PFB VANISH

SILKY SMOOTH LEGS UNDER FALL’S HOTTEST FASHIONS

So very rock and roll, the latest latex leggings by David Lerner are a sexy alternative to the basic black legging. With their leather looking style, a low waist and a sexy fit, these 86% Nylon, 14% Spandex leggings have been added to many a wish list on Shopstyle.com. They also wreak havoc on the freshly shaven thighs and waxed bikini line.

Tight clothes, like leggings, can cause ingrown hair problems. The logical explanation, tight clothing, like leggings compress your hair against your body most of the time, and the chances of getting an ingrown hair increase This is especially true if you happen to be post bikini wax. Squeezing upper thighs and bikini area with a tight pair of leggings or skinny jeans could result in a very uncomfortable situation and even unhealthy infection.

An ingrown hair is a hair that curls back on itself and starts growing back into the follicle, or a hair that fails to grow out of the follicle and stays embedded in the skin. Ingrown hairs are usually just minor irritations, but they can be painful and unsightly. What’s more, if they are left untreated ingrown hairs can become infected. Unfortunately, almost everybody will get one at some time, and if you shave regularly, you may have to deal with ingrown hairs quite frequently.

Here’s where PFB Vanish comes to the rescue and keeps legs at their smoothest through fall and winters hottest and tightest fashions. PFB Vanish™ is a gentle, cosmetically elegant roll-on gel, formulated for ingrown hairs, burn and bumps from shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis, and laser hair removal. PFB Vanish has three key exfoliating ingredients – salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids, and moisturizing and soothing ingredients like willow bark and camphor oil. PFB Vanish is safe to use every day and is available in a travel-friendly 2 ounce size for $15.00 and 4 ounces for $21.00. pfbvanish.com

Borghese Nail Lacquer

borghese.jpgscreenshot005.jpg

I was just sent some Borghese nail polish to try, and while I am familiar with their skincare products I had yet to try the nail care line. Well first thing I noticed was the difference in the dual tip brush, it seems to hold the perfect amount of polish. Whenever I do my nails I seem to have too much on the brush even if I try to dab some off.  

On top of a great brush the colors are brilliant and look great.  My two favorite colors so far are Notte Black and Chianti Wine. If you are looking for a great new nail polish,  give  Borghese a try.

Her eye makeup looks amazing!

On her nonchalance about Hollywood glamour, Stewart said, “I go outside, and I’m wearing a funky T-shirt and my hair is dirty, and people say, ‘What’s wrong with her? She needs to invest in a hairbrush.’ I’m like, Don’t you get it? I’m not that girl! I never was that girl. It’s not like I was really clean-cut last year.”

Two great face moisturizers for colder weather!

Does your skin act differently when the weather changes? Mine sure does.  My face gets much more needy this time of year.

Get the Look! – Lauren Conrad at the Hollywood Style Awards

screenshot011.jpg

mark Spokeswoman Lauren Conrad made her mark at the 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards on Sunday presenting the Style Award to mark Celebrity Stylist Britt Bardo (who’s first capsule collection for mark debuted this month (www.meetmark.com). Lauren’s fresh-faced and super trendy look can be recreated thanks to Celebrity Makeup Artist Amy Nadine’s beauty secrets.

How to Get Lauren Conrad’s Cheeky look:

Inspiration

“In honor of stylist Britt Bardo, Lauren mixed rocker-chic with a girly-glam! Her floral bubble dress was paired with studded punk-inspired pumps and her braided half-up hair-do contrasted perfectly with her hot pink lips.”

Face

“For her cheeks, I applied mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Cheeky, a perfect true pink cream blush, on the apples of her cheeks. I then dusted mark Twinklebelle in Rose, a shimmery pearlized powder, above her cheekbones and along her collar bone and shoulders to give her skin an overall youthful glow.”

Lips

“To get Lauren’s bold lip, I filled in her entire lip with mark Kissink Lip Tintmarker in Berry Bitten. This lip stain is a favorite of mine and Lauren’s as it lasts all night without every being dry or flaky. Finally, I added a top coat of mark Lip Exotics Lip Lacquer Hook Up in Pop to give her pink lips a luscious, wet, finish.”

Eyes

“To balance out Lauren’s pink lip, I applied a thick line of mark Get In Line Hook Up Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner in Painted Black. I wanted to keep the emphasis on her winged-out cat eyes, so I left her lower lash line undefined, except for a coat of mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara in Raven applied to her top and bottom lashes.”
