Review: AquaVie Leg Lift

I love working out and adding new exercises to my routine but that can leave me with sore, achy legs. When I heard about AquaVie Leg Lift I was excited to see how it would work. Being a mint addict I love the menthol scent to the lotion it was cooling and refreshing and the best part it made my legs feel amazing. Now after a big leg workout I apply Leg Lift and instantly my legs feel better from the cooling mint, and it soothes the muscle pain and ensures I can be back at the gym with no pain the next day.

For the strong, busy woman on her feet

This penetrating gel contains a cocktail of plants renowned for their relaxing effects. Enriched with camphor and menthol, it provides an extraordinary sensation of freshness and of well being, instantly reviving the feet and legs from any discomfort from long days spent on the feet.

Each AquaVie product is packed with the highest quality ingredients directly from the coast of Brittany, France. AquaVie is available for the first time in America this Fall. Sold exclusively to 5 Star spas, salons and resorts in Europe for the last 30 years, AquaVie comes from a nutrient rich area in France called Brittany. Both elements from the sea and the land are combined in our skin care to bring meaningful vitality to your skin.

I tried a sample of this cream and I love it. The formula is very lightweight but really moisturizing. It has a very soft, clean scent and absorbs right away leaving my skin soft and feeling great.

Kim Kardashian REJECTED by fashion designers!

Kim Kardashian is one of the most recognized women in the world; she has several reality shows, knocked herself up by Kanye West, and has a money tree planted in her back yard. You would think that whatever Kimmy wants, Kimmy gets. Well, think again.

The reality TV starlet trusted stylist Nicola Formichetti to transform her style for an Elle Magazine shoot. Formichetti, who has styled other A-list celebs such as Lady Gaga, admits that dressing Kim was a challenge. “People wouldn’t lend me the clothes. But that’s fashion snobbery,” he explained in the issue.

Fashion snobbery aside, Tom Ford, Oscar De La Renta, and Roberto Cavalli all lent their clothes, and Kim looked gorgeous from head-to-toe (but we’re not so sure about the drag queen makeup).

With a baby on the way, this could be one of Kim’s last shoots before she starts some serious baby bumpin’.

Kim said it was a dream working with Formichetti, and it was “so inspiring and interesting to see someone else’s take on me” in the Elle behind-the-scenes interview with the stylist. Watch the video here!

Oh Kim.

WATCH: Keira Knightley’s Chanel commercial has been banned in the UK!

Keira Knightley stars in a new Chanel commercial that the Advertising Standards Authority in the UK has deemed too inappropriate for television.

In the latest Coco Mademoiselle commercial, Keira strips down on a bed and shares some “intimate” moments with a photographer.

A complaint was filed after the ad ran during a broadcast of “Ice Age 2″ — not quite pandering to an audience that’s willing to shell out $105 to smell pretty. Thus, the final ASA ruling released today prohibits this particular Chanel commercial from running during children’s programming.

I agree the commercial below shouldn’t be appearing on children’s channels, but I don’t really thinks it’s worthy of “banning” across the board. Watch it below – what do you think?

Jenny McCarthy on aging gracefully: I’m not interested!

Jenny McCarthy, former Playboy Playmate and host of her own new show, VH1’s The Jenny McCarthy Show, knows how imperative it is to age gracefully in front of the camera.

“I am Team Botox,” Jenny admits in an exclusive interview in the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now. “I do it here and there. I use very little, so my face still moves,” she says of the procedure.

And although Jenny says she’s open to getting plastic surgery done in the future, she plans on waiting. “You don’t really need old-fashioned surgery any more with all the lasers and Botox,” she explains. “So I’m not sure I would go under the knife until I’m at least as old as Joan Rivers — like 99 or however old she is!”

Despite her success, Jenny says she’s not the next Oprah — “That’s like saying I’m the next God!” — but being in front of the camera does push her to bring her A-game. “Ninety percent of the way you look is what you eat, so I’m really just cautious. I’ll really fill up on fruits and vegetables,” she explains of her preparation for her upcoming show airing Fridays at 10:30 p.m. “Maybe I’ll guinea pig myself on new [beauty] treatments on the show. I’ll be the rat for America, without going overboard!”

The picture above is Jenny and her 10-year-old son, Evan.

New Contest: Lavanila 100% Natural Healthy Baby Collection

Did is you know that Baby skin is 5 times thinner than adults making them far more prone to high levels of chemical absorption? Lavanila’s 100% natural Healthy Baby Collection is chemical-free, and delivers 30 essential vitamins and minerals specifically formulated to support the health and development of delicate baby skin. Lavanilla is committed to creating the world’s healthiest baby care products.

LAVANILLA HEALTHY BABY COLLECTION INCLUDES:

  • Healthy Baby Wash ($16): This 100% natural two-in-one shampoo and body wash gently cleanses without stripping skin of essential moisture. The pH-balanced, tear-free formula soothes and calms skin with organic vanilla and chamomile as noni leaf and calendula promote healthy skin and protect against infection. While traditional baby wash uses sulfates, petrochemicals, formaldehyde and other harsh chemicals that can accumulate in the bloodstream and strip sensitive skin of moisture, the Healthy Baby Wash is completely free of chemicals and infused with 30 essential vitamins and minerals.
  •  Healthy Baby Lotion ($15): Providing daily nourishment and hydration, this weightless, fast-absorbing lotion strengthens and supports the development of healthy skin with 30 vitamins and minerals. Organic vanilla and chamomile soothe and calm as noni leaf and calendula nourish and protect. Free of synthetic preservatives and chemicals that can irritate babies’ sensitive skin like parabens, silicone and petrochemicals, the 100% natural hydrator includes a natural preservative system. 
  • Healthy Baby Bottom ($15): Developed to calm irritation and soothe redness, this 100% natural formula provides superior protection and prevention of diaper rash with natural zinc oxide instead of petrolatum, a harsh chemical derived from oil wells during gasoline production. Safe for newborns and up, the fragrance-free formula helps prevent future outbreaks as noni leaf and calendula promote healing and protect against infection. 
  • Healthy Baby Butter ($14): Providing ultra-rich hydration to soothe dry skin and calm redness, this 100% natural nourishing butter is formulated with 30 vitamins and minerals selected to strengthen and support the development of healthy skin. Pure shea and cocoa butters soften and comfort instantly, while noni leaf and calendula heal and organic vanilla and chamomile calm. The formula trades harsh chemicals and preservatives for 100% healthy, skin compatible botanicals and oils. 
  • Healthy Baby Block ($20): Combining titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, this chemical-free, healthy sunscreen protects delicate skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays to provide 100% natural SPF 40 protection. Formulated with shea butter, calendula and noni juice, the biodegradable, fragrance-free formula hydrates, moisturizes, and replenishes vitamins and minerals. While standard sunblocks contain harsh chemicals like PABA, parabens, phthalates, nanoparticles and synthetic fragrances, the Healthy Baby Block forms a physical barrier to safely protect babies’ delicate skin. Consult your physician for use over six months. 

 

CONTEST: One Lucky MakeHerUp reader will receive the Lavanila’s 100% natural Healthy Baby Collection prize pack (Healthy Baby Wash, Healthy Baby Lotion, Healthy Baby Bottom, Healthy Baby Butter, Healthy Baby Block – $80 Value)
