DERMAdoctor KP Duty Body Scrub. A dermatologist body scrub with chemical and physical medi-exfoliation.

Medical-quality exfoliation requires more than scrubbing. Dry skin, flaky patches, and “chicken skin” bumps are held together by bonds that physical exfoliation alone can’t break. KP Duty body scrub delivers serious medi-exfoliation for deeper, more thorough results. This dual-action chemical and physical exfoliator blends the best of a chemical peel and microdermabrasion into a single, easy-to-use treatment. Smooth, non-abrasive, synthetic beads lift away dead skin cells.

This enhanced exfoliation helps prepare skin for self tanning and post-bathing treatments (including body acne, keratosis pilaris (chicken skin bumps), shaving bumps, ingrown hairs, and bleaching) and is infused with green tea and willow bark to reduce irritation and redness typically associated with routine in-office exfoliation.

I love to lay in the sun for hours to achieve a perfect tan. As I get older I realize the damage it causes and with my fair skin my awesome tan lasts all of two days once I’m out of the sun. I have tried most sunless tanners out there and found most of them are just hard to get on even. I like the spray on this and that it is a gentle glow not carrot spray. Definitely something I will try since my debacle with Mystic Tan.

Okay, I was in Sephora again last night, (yes – again) looking for a birthday present for Erin.  I love Too Faced, they’re one of my favorite brands.  So I stopped by their counter area – and was browsing through the cosmetics.  I saw this product, and though I would give it a try. 

I’m not a tester.  I don’t go into stores and “test” products.  I don’t apply lipstick before I buy it – I just try it on my hand.  But I saw this lip plumper, and thought to myself “These things don’t reeeeally work, right?”  I had never tried it before – and now that I have, I don’t know what I think. 

I applied Too Faced’s Lip Injection.  I stood there for a sec – didn’t feel anything, so I put it back, and kept shopping.  Then as I was browsing through the fragrances – my lips started tingling – then they felt like they were down right burning.  So I made my way to the nearest mirror and lo and behold, I had massive lips.  Like they were bright red/pink and HUGE.  Lemme just say this product WORKS.  It’s amazing, really. 

If you want bigger – plumper lips – you gotta try this.  At least visit Sephoraand see if you like it.  You might be surprised.

Hollywood’s best selling award winning lip plumper!

Fantasizing about fuller, plumper lips? Dream no more – just get injected! Too Faced’s LIP INJECTION lip plumping potion, a crystal-clear liquid lip volumizer that plumps up lips for results that last a minimum of 4 hours. LIP INJECTION contains a natural Vitamin E derivative that allows for increased circulation to the lip area creating phenomenal lip-plumping action and increased lip volume. Just apply a thin coat of this liquid lip treatment on lips with the applicator brush. A light tingling sensation may be experienced when LIP INJECTION is applied that can last up to 5 minutes. Afterwards, lips look up to 20% fuller, plumper and juicier! Lip color or gloss can also be applied under or over Lip Injection for a more intensely vibrant look.

WHY IT WORKS: This Creme smells and feels so wonderful that you may have people lining up to give you a foot rub.

Cherry
New from Masaki Matsushima “Cherry” .Cherry blossom season is an important and symbolic time of year in Japan. It marks the end of winter and the rebirth of nature with deep philosophical meanings: The cherry blossom (sakura) represents absolute beauty and is a reminder of the ephemeral nature of life, and the cherry fruit is a symbol of harmony. It’s only natural that Japanese designer Masaki Matsushima captured this facet of his country’s culture and rendered it in a conceptual perfume.

It is quite a challenge to create a feminine fragrance that is based on the cherry without it falling into the category of edible scents used in liquors or candies. Jean Jacques, Masaki’s “nose,” managed this subtle combination of the mat; base with a cherry top and blossom heart. $32.50-$60

There is a trend in the makeup artistry business called air-brushing. It’s literally air brushing foundation onto your face to give it a smooth, velvety finish that you can’t necessarily get when applying foundation with a brush or your fingers or using a sponge.

ERA FACE Foundation is foundation in an aerosol can! It’s an innovative product because you not only can use it on your face, it can be used as a body foundation, too!

The first patented, aerosol, oil-free foundation to give all skin types a flawless, professional airbrush application without a machine.

Directions
To use: Always shake can well before each use. Secure hair away from face using Era headwrap and cover clothing prior to use. Hold the can 6-8 inches from your face. Close eyes and mist onto skin using an even, circular motion. Allow to dry for 10 seconds.

I don’t wear much perfume. I’m just not that kinda gal. If I do wear perfume, (and it’s not even really considered perfume) I will put some Jasmine-Vanilla on, and I’m good to go. I have allergies – a sensitive nose – and too much of anything, will make me sneeze all day.

So I was flipping through InStyle Magazine today, and came across this new product, CLEAN. It says “Just want to smell good? Try the freshest CLEAN scents ever created.” And I have to say – I’m intrigued.

CLEAN Perfume was launched by Fusion Brands Inc. in April 2003. Randi Shinder, the founder, desired a fragrance that was reminiscent of pure soap, that universal fresh out of the shower scent. Unable to find such a fragrance, she developed her own.

After wearing her own creation, CLEAN captured the attention of friends and family and she knew she had something she could not keep to herself. She created CLEAN and CLEAN Sweet Layer, and the phenomenon continues…

CLEAN is an exclusive fragrance for the simple side of a complicated life. The uniquely fresh smelling scents inspired by soap are formulated in small quantities thus ensuring all ingredients are fresh, pure and of the highest quality. The CLEAN woman or man wouldn’t have it any other way!

The celebrities love it:

Jamie-Lynn DiScala, The Sopranos: “CLEAN is the only perfume that makes me smell like I have just showered with my favorite soap. When I started wearing CLEAN, people started asking me for the name of my perfume. It just smells so good!”

Taryn Manning, Crazy/Beautiful, 8-Mile: “Clean is my new favorite perfume. I love Clean Sweet Layer. It smells so fresh. I don’t feel like I smell perfumed when I wear it. I just smell good and I love that!”

Gabrielle Union, Bring It On, Love and Basketball: “Wow, Finally a perfume that’s really fresh and clean! I love it!”

And it’s gotten a ton of press!

Get your own CLEAN perfume… I think I’m going to go buy it now. 

The set includes two shades that originally only came in pots; Goldenberry and Black Raspberry!

The formula is made with natural extracts of Mango and Grape Seed, Rose Hips, and Apricot Kernal.

Why Grape Seed?: Pressed from the seeds of various varieties of grapes, an abundant by-product of wine making, grape seed oil is prized for its culinary uses as well as cosmetic. This clean-tasting, lightweight oil is rich in essential fatty acids (especially linoleic), antioxidants and vitamin E and is a superb all-over skin moisturizer and conditioner.

Why Rose Hips?: Rose Extract, derived from various rose species, is known for its tonic and deodorant properties. It also has skin soothing, and aroma therapeutic (relaxing) benefits and is used as a fragrance. Rose Extract also aids in exfoliating.

Why Apricot?: Apricot Kernel Oil is extracted from apricot kernels and has a very high Vitamin E content (aiding fast absorption) and is a trygliceride composed of 75% oleic acid and 20% linoleic acid, and unsaturated fatty acids esterfied with glycerin – similar to avocado oil and sesame oil. Found to be highly compatible with the skin. Apricot Kernel Oil moisturizes and softens skin while helping retain clarity and suppleness.

This non-sticky gloss hydrates lips and restores their suppleness as antioxidants help preserve a healthy appearance.

The lip glosses are $14 each, and you can buy them here!
