The Hottest Workout DVDs

This is a TotalBeauty.com fitness article

Shifting through hundreds of seriously lame workout DVDs can be daunting. Which is why we did that dirty work for you, to weed out the techno beats and chirpy instructors. These are the best new workout DVDs that'll help you have fun and slim down in the comfort of your own living room.

Get fit now

 


Oh snap I love this oil! It smells like gardenias-my favorite flower! And the oil is moisturizing and quick absorbing and the wee hint of shimmer is perfect for having a "Duchess" like look with out saying high school glitter. The bronzing effect is subtle and enough to highlight the skin and hide some imperfections.

Stacey and ybf always make a great product in my opinion. If you order now on HSN.com it comes with a compact bronzer too.

The duo is about $40, and a large 3 oz size. Note: a lil'bit goes a long way!

15 Best and Worst Face Scrubs

Reviewers share their honest take on which face scrubs get their skin glowing -- and which ones do squat


15 Best and Worst Face Scrubs

This is a TotalBeauty.com best and worst skin care products article

You know that exfoliating is a crucial step in your skin care routine. It can help diminish fine lines and pore size and improve overall skin texture. But to get these awesome benefits, you have to use the right face scrub -- and you don't want to have to try a bunch of worthless ones to find the product that'll work best. That's why we put together this list of reader raves and rants.

See reviews

The Worst No. 6: Burt's Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub, $8

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.9


It leaves skin feeling "oily" and "doesn't get rid of blackheads as promised."

No. 5: Mario Badescu Strawberry Face Scrub, $15

TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 6.7


"Do yourself a favor and skip this spring picnic."

No. 4: St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub, $9.99

Hello Gorgeous!
If you haven't seen HSN.com lately with YBF
founder Stacey Schieffelin you have got to get the
schedule and tune in!
She is wonderfully authentic in her concern for
ladies looking good and she has developed a line
of makeup that goes along with her good
intentions.
I used this primer in several ways to test it:
First: I put it on my bare skin over my moisturizer to see how it would blend: results were really smooth and no pealy balls to make my foundation blotchy.
Second: I put my favorite liquid foundation over it and got a good slip, nice blend, and it dried down to a very even look, more so than when I put my makeup on with out it.
Third: off with that layer and onto the next: I apply the YBF primer and put loose mineral powder over it thinking that for sure it would stick and clump and make for a lousy finish! Nope! Give the YBF primer a moment to dry down and when it feels silky on the skin you know it's time to apply your foundation and my Sheer Cover mineral foundation looked better over the primer!
YBF products are paraben free-so feel good about putting it on your skin.
Now-for a post from last Friday on http://Cherelynn.com where I shared a story about YBF founder Stacey Schieffelin and her involvement on the NYSE meeting for women! Read on!

Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence at NYSE

Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence visits the NYSE to recognize the national efforts of the non-profit organization in supporting significant growth among women-owned businesses in the United States from micro businesses into million dollar enterprises. In honor of the occasion, Nell Merlino, Founder and President, Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence, rings The Opening BellSM, joined by esteemed members of the Make Mine a Million $ Business (M3) event steering committee, elected officials, long-time sponsors, and women business owners who have both benefited and hope to benefit from the power of the M3 program.

This powerful mix will encompass nationally lead and small women-owned and run businesses, and the wide range of support committed to supporting and growing women-owned businesses in the United States .

About Count Me In and Make Mine a Million $ Business

Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence is the leading national not-for-profit provider of resources, business education and community support for women entrepreneurs seeking to grow micro businesses into million dollar enterprises. Count Me In launched Make Mine a Million $ Business (M3) with founding sponsor American Express OPEN to inspire one million women entrepreneurs to scale their businesses to a million dollars in revenue by providing tools, skills and support of a nation-wide community of peers.

US Census statistics indicate that while women-owned businesses represented nearly 50% of privately held companies in the US , only 2.6% of those businesses are at $1 million or more in annual revenues, compared to 6% of men-owned firms. In fact most women-owned businesses are at $50,000 or less in revenues. Since its introduction in 2005, 28% of program participants have reached the million dollar threshold. CMI’s goal is to bring 1,000 women owned businesses to or beyond $1 million in annual revenues through the program, generating $1Billion in economic impact and at least 25,000 sustainable jobs nationwide.

How to Get the Wavy Hair You've Always Wanted

Perfect the tousled look just in time for the last few weeks of summer


How to Get the Wavy Hair You've Always Wanted

This is a TotalBeauty.com wavy hair article

The grass is always greener on the other side of the hair spectrum -- which means those of us with fine, pin-straight hair crave beach-y waves that look effortlessly gorgeous. So we went to the experts to give us a fool-proof tutorial on how to get beach-y waves. Now you don't have a reason not to try the look before summer ends.

See how-tos


Hello Gorgeous!I hope you are enjoying the new format of the web series for the videos. Makeup University is now showing a 3 segment video focusing on beauty/health/positive self esteem versus the one segment on one particular item.Now, as of yesterday I have started the before and after photos for my 3 week test of the eyelash growing serum from Obagi Medical.

This eyelash rejuvenating serum is to grow in sparse lashes and thicken, then lengthen the ones that you already have. So enjoy this rather haunting and garish photo of my nose and look past it to see my eyelashes. Those are washed clean, free of makeup and ready for a 'before photo'! Another photo in a week, then again on the second and final on the third week of using the serum. Why so much? Because 21 days is
a cycle of the skin and hair.
Oooh...now here is the fun stunner of the story! These 3 lipglosses are the current color story from YBF of HSN.com. Oh these are so perfect for your 'Back to School' or Labor Day weekend travel. Snap 'em up quick because you know how fast things sell on HSN.com and if you love pink lip gloss like I do, you'll want to get these for right now looks as well as segueing into the Fall trend. Now, here is the current episode of the Makeup University web series. Watch, enjoy and comment if you like! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
