I'm getting ready to try a new Cellceuticals biomedical skin treatment as well as use a favorite!
I love the Cellceuticals extremely gentle face wash for sensitive skin-it's not that I have sensitive skin but after a long hot summer it's gentle on skin that has seen too much sun! I am thinking that this winter with snow play and long days snowboarding that my cold wind chapped skin is going to need an extremely gentle cleanser like the white bottle by Cellceuticals.
One thing to note: the pink scrublet that you see me holding is from a different line of skin care and it's similiar to a face wash brush or pouf.
It's very gentle and can be easily cleaned so it doesn't transfer bacteria to cause breakouts and the base is a suction cup so after use and cleaning it can hung on the wall or shower door to dry!
It's a silicone based rubber and has two different levels of nubs that help exfoliate and gently cleanse the skin. Now that blue space age looking tube is the super potent night treatment with exclusive and patent pending GFP Cellular complex which acts as a cellular stimulant to encourage the regeneration of new surface cells for younger looking skin.
So I'm going to wash off my makeup and apply some and test it for the next two weeks to see how the combination of retinol, antioxidants,and lipopeptides in a nanoemulsion work for my skin!

How to apply bronzer: the secret to a healthy looking glow the safe way by using a bronzing makeup in any form you can find or prefer. Bronzer is a great way to have your makeup look fresh, your skin look healthy, and destination brides the bronzer is your friend when it comes to do it yourself bridal makeup.
As a professional makeup artist, I consider using bronzer a staple in my makeup case. Personally as a makeup wearer: I don't leave home with out it.
Bronzer can come in a loose powder, a pressed compact, a liquid stain, or gel stick. The first secret to your bronzer success is that it be applied in the right areas.
When you look at your face in the mirror, find the high points that would get the most sun. The forehead, tops of cheeks, nose and chin. I would include the very middle of your eyelids and top of your chest also because if you have ever gotten a really good sunburn or tan, these areas get colored as well.
Imagine a W pattern across your face. If you placed the bronzing product on the top of the W, working from left to right of the letter as if it were placed on your face.
The bronzer colors the top of your left temple, down the cheek to the chin, then up over the nose and forehead and down the right side of your cheek, chin and finish at the top of your right temple.
The powder bronzer is the most common and it's usually pressed into a compact. A large domed fluffy brush will give the best application that looks subtle and natural. When you move into using sponges or fingers, it puts a lot of product in one area that then has to be blended down into the skin to look natural.
If you are using a gel or liquid bronzer, apply it to freshly moisturized or over a liquid foundation so there is a lot of slip on the skin to blend with.
If you want to use your bronzer as a blush and have a deep brown/bronze looking blush, then just swirl your powder/blush brush into the product, knock off the excess and apply to the apples of your cheeks.
A very 1980's retro look would be to swish the bronzer through the hollow of the cheek in a kidney bean shape. You apply bronzer this way by sucking in your cheeks and making fish lips then applying the bronzer in a sweeping motion from the hollow of the cheek, pass under the cheek bone and back towards the ear and hairline.
Bronzer as a cosmetic is by far one of the most versatile and I recommend having two shades.
One for every day use and all over the face and the second slightly darker shade for contouring or creating a very deep tan look and using over larger parts of your body.
Some of my favorite products for bronzing are:
FAKE BAKE, Physician's formula two toned bronzing compact, Benefit Cosmetics Hoola, Cargo, Lorac and the Sephora store brand.
The bronzer can be brushed along your neck, collarbone, dcollet and when you have lines from wearing different style tanks and swimsuits in the summertime it can be brushed on easily to the areas that need more color and washed off with our fear of staining or streaking.
So get some bronzer in any form you prefer and keep on hand for the upcoming busy holiday season, parties and just looking healthy.

How do you like my bangs? These are so much fun-the affordable clip on bangs from Kymaro that are the ultimate Fall 2010 hairstyle trend! Catch the video and giveaway at www.youtube.com/makeupuniversity I went camping over the weekend and though I packed my facial cleansing cloths to remove my makeup as I roughed it out in the elements, I still got a pimple. Darn it!
So I have started to use it, and it has a light scent, not overpowering and didn't sting when I applied. The best thing about this acne/pimple product is that it is using 5% salycilic acid to treat the blemish instead of the harsher benzoyl peroxide.
Either way-I expect this unwanted guest to be gone by morning! Enjoy the videos, and remember to subscribe to get your chance at product giveaways!
p.s. Can you believe this is really the final season of Oprah?
