'Face' It: Palmer's Isn't Just For Stretch Marks Anymore
Okay, we'll be honest.....we adore cocoa butter. And when it comes to the king of the heavenly-smelling body butters, well, Palmer's has stood the test of time. And for many a pregnant woman, it's Palmer's to the stretch mark rescue.But, now there's a new Palmer's in town:
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Facial Care Line. And the great news----everything is $15 or less at drugstores!
Smart folks at Palmer's, and it's about time. Who doesn't love an anti-aging cleanser, night cream, facial scrub, eye cream, and day lotion?! Who knew crushed cocoa beans make for an excellent exfoliating scrub?
The Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Night Renewal Cream ($15), on its own, feels so good. And it's formulated with cocoa and shea butters, retinol peptides, and evening primrose to firm and tighten skin.
If you are a cocoa butter fan, it's time to look beyond your beautiful belly, and to your face and neck. This new Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Facial Care Line is kind to sensitive skin, and won't put a dent in your pocketbook.
We think this a worthy skin care line to try.

Instead, we see the striking Huma Abedin, the wife of fallen Congressman Anthony Weiner in control, doing her job as trusted aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

You Don't Use An Eyelash Curler? It Goes Hand In Hand With Mascara

A lot of women wear mascara, every day. And we are assuming that those who adorn their lashes, also use an eyelash curler, right?
Not so fast.
We were shocked when we saw the results of a recent survey in InStyle magazine that asked this question:
DO YOU USE AN EYELASH CURLER?
37% Never
36% Always
27% On special occasions

Doesn't this surprise anyone? Wouldn't you have expected the stats to be, maybe, 80% who always curl?!
Does that also mean, that the 36% who always use an eyelash curler, also always wear mascara? Or do the two beauty items have little to do with each other?
Wouldn't it make sense to you, that if you were going to wear mascara, that you would curl your lashes first?
Ladies, you NEED to curl your lashes. Period.
What does an eyelash curler do? Any professional makeup artist will tell you, that curling your lashes opens up the eyes. Your eyes will look bigger. Stubborn lashes will look more even. And short, wimpy lashes will take on thickness and appear longer.
There are many eyelash curlers out there. Plastic, metal, mini curlers, heated curlers, etc. You might have to buy several before you hit the perfect eyelash curler. Plastic ones break much quicker and easier than the metal pairs, with their scissor-like motion. Heated curlers cost more.
And if you've never used an eyelash curler, don't be afraid. It's not hard. This beauty tool is an odd-looking item, but it does great things for your lashes and really widens your eyes. In fact, if you hate wearing mascara, and absolutely refuse to, at least curl your lashes. You will see the difference. You will even look more awake.
What you want to do, is position the eyelash curler around your eyelashes. The upper lashes must be between the edges of the curler.
Then, carefully squeeze the edges of the eyelash curler together and hold for about 10 seconds.
Now gently release the curler from the lashes. Repeat again if you want extra curly lashes, or if you have stubborn straight lashes. Always make sure that the curler is fully open before removing it.
Then apply a few coats of mascara.
Here's a great eyelash curler to try:
Shu Uemura ($19.00, here). A big favorite among pros and women everywhere. Delivers the perfect curl. Metal curler.

Can Blueberry Supplement From CVS Really Improve Eyesight?
We just happened to stumble upon this one, and since good health is a thing of beauty, we thought we'd do some research.Blueberries and better eyesight.
Do the two go hand-in-hand?
Possibly so.
A popular supplement from Sweden called, Blue Berry Eyebright ($29.95, 60 tablets), claims that just 2 tablets a day, "Helps protect and stregthen the vision. Helps increase macular pigmentation in the eyes."
The daily dosage of 2 tablets can be compared to eating a cup of fresh blueberries a day. Also included in the supplements is calendula flower extract, containing lutein and grapeseeds extracts.
Blue Berry Eyebright has been around Scandanavia for almost 10 years, and now it's being introduced to the US, exclusively at CVS drugstores.

We're not saying you'll be able to toss away your glasses or contacts anytime soon, but within 2-3 months, you will see changes, and your eyesight will strengthen.
The supplements are safe, and according to what we have learned, Blue Berry Eyebright does NOT interfere with medicine and poses no side effects. But please check with your doctor and let him or her know what you are planning to add to your vitamin regimen.
We think this is pretty exciting health news for your eyes!

StriVectin Launches New Anti-Aging Sunscreen With Niacin
StriVectin's newest skin care product has us intrigued. Not only is it a powerful sunscreen, but it also boasts about being a strong anti-aging treatment.And guess what.....StriVectin S-H Age Protect SPF 30 is also recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
So, we would like to assume, that the clever folks at StriVectin have developed an excellent way to "practice safe sun", if you would.
The magic ingredient in this sunscreen is the NIA-114 molecule. And according to what we learned, this form of niacin was actually discovered by skin cancer researchers, Drs. Myron and Elaine Jacobson, The couple found that NIA-114 is able to re-build skin layers and strengthen the skin barrier to further protect against sun damage.
This is a daily sunscreen that you can use all year long, 365 days. And the formula is said to be ultra light and ultra sheer. Nothing heavy or greasy.
How to use: Apply a dime size amount in the morning on cleansed face and neck over StriVectin-SD or a daily moisturizer. Reapply as needed or after towel drying, swimming or perspiring. Instantly absorbs into skin with a soft, matte finish.
StriVectin S-H Age Protect SPF 30 sells for $49 (2 oz.) and can be found at stores like---Bloomingdales, ULTA, Sephora, and at strivectin.com.

How To Get Sexy Celebrity Wavy Beach Hair



Golden girl Jennifer Aniston has always been the cover girl for Best Wavy Beach Hair. Then, a couple of months ago, she went and chopped off her signature look for a sleek, shoulder-length bob.
In our humble opinion....boring, Jennifer. We can see her anxiously trying to grow it out now.
Hair that looks tousled and free, like you've just spent a day at the beach, is a style that everyone seems to like. And with the right hair productsand styling tools, you, too, can create sexy, celebrity beach hair for summer!
Blake Lively, Vanessa Hudgens, Julia Roberts, and Kate Hudson, are just a few of the famous heads who look like they're fans of the sun and surf club.
There are a few ways to achieve this sexy, boho beach hair:
1. Have a professional stylist tend to your locks.
2. Or.......Do it yourself. At bedtime, spritz on a good volumizer and then braid hair into 4 big sections. Remember--the smaller the braid, the tighter the wave, so if you want a ton of wild waves, then make more braids. In the morning, take out the braids for beach hair that has staying power.
3. You can also pick up a bottle of product designed to give you wavy, beach hair. Try new Alterna Summer Hair Ocean Waves Texturizing Spray ($20, at Sephora. "This spray provides weightless volume, moisture lock, and a natural wavy texture to all hair types for that sexy, back-from-the-beach look."
Spray on damp or dry hair from roots to ends and shape with fingers for a loose, tousled look.You can also use a diffuser to create waves or a big-barreled curling iron to lock in that tousled beach hair.
It's a playful, sexy hairstyle even if you're not really running around at the beach all day.

Hollywood Faces Looking Volumized---Is It The Radiesse Filler?

Sure, famous faces go in for facelifts, but times have changed. Nowadays, the injectable is taking over---instant volume in mere minutes! And no, we cannot prove that the famous faces pictured here, have been anywhere near a syringe of filler. We can only speculate.

New Nair Cool Gel Hair Remover: This Ain't Your Mama's Stinky Depilatory
As the temperatures rise, more skin is bared. And that means, more hair to remove.Let's be honest, shaving is the quickest and cheapest method for removing unwanted hair. And then there's waxing, a much more expensive way to melt away growth and keep you stubble-free for longer.
Then there's the depilatory. Apply, wait for 5-10 minutes and rinse away. Maybe you watched your mom use Nair or Neet back in the day. More likely, maybe you 'smelled' these depilatories and came rushing into the bathroom to see what the offensive, strong odor was all about.
Sure, Nair, Neet, and all the others, have always had a foul odor, but when the depilatory worked, your legs and underarms felt like silk---so smooth to the touch.
Now, Nair has come out with Cool Gel Hair Remover (7.5 oz. $6.99, at drugstores). The scent is supposed to be a fresh, clean scent, well, you decide. We like the idea of a gel, because it glides on easily, and does feel cool to the touch. And this new Nair is supposed to remove all the hair you don't want, in a matter of minutes.
The good news----it's wonderful to see a product with a hydrating, cooling texture for those hot spring/summer days ahead.
This Nair is a must try.

Overprocessed Hair? Try Redken Anti-Snap To Tame Dry Brittle Locks
It's becoming that time of year again........summer. Out with the old hair color, and in with the new!Maybe you want to give your tired, blonde locks a major peroxide boost, just like Jennifer Aniston did about a month ago. Or maybe you want to try being a chocolate brown-haired beauty. Whatever the case, every time you mess with hair color chemicals, you're going to pay for it in the end. And that means damage of all sorts.
Of course, that doesn't stop any of us from also, straightening, perming, double-processing, blow-drying, flat-ironing, curling, etc. We all love our hair to look just right. But when the dry, brittle locks appear, then it's hair S.O.S.!!
We found a cult fave by the good folks at Redken. It's called, Extreme Anti-Snap Treatment, and we found it for $18.50 at Target.
No, it isn't cheap, but you are getting a bottle of 8.5 oz. We like this, because it's a leave-in conditioner. And it performs beautifully:
Improves hair strength.
Smoothes the cuticle surface.
Reduces clash from brushing & prevents further damage.
Leaves hair healthy, bright & flexible.
Why is Redken's Anti-Snap Treatment worth the price? Because it's formula is so good. "A protein rich formula that fortifies the damaged area of hair and helps reduce breakage. Contains ceramides and fruit acids for added strength and shine."
