emerginC deglaze cleanser review for the Long Beach Grand Prix

 Hello Gorgeous! 
It's been a very busy, very blessed and amazing weekend. I really enjoy car racing and while I am in Long Beach California, the Long Beach Grand Prix is going on. It's making for a fun situation.

The winner has been crowned and photos are below-though I am hoping the drivers have some emerginC deglazing cleanser close by to remove the grit and grime of race car driving!

I love this wash because it deep cleans without leaving skin feeling taught. It's effective at taking off my mascara and face makeup.

It's a  highly-effective, soap-free, anti-bacterial cleanser that helps disinfect, remove excess oil and improve complexion problems and breakouts associated with oily/problem skin, without over-stripping or drying.
Benefits:

• Soap-free, anti-bacterial cleanser
• Helps disinfect
• Removes excess oil
• Improves complexion problems and breakouts
• Won't over-strip or dry out
• Ideal for oily/problem and combination skin

It's just $35.00. and a wee dab will do you! Find online and at fine retailers everywhere!


 This is the view outside my hotel window! Awesome!

Now-here's my thoughts and experience-it's a full bodied, smooth textured serum that rapidly absorbs into the skin. I noticed a difference immediately in some severely dry chapped skin from too much sun and ocean water! I used it first on a troubled spot, then gradually moved to my face and neck..

I do apply my regular sunscreen and moisturizer over the HTY Gold Intensive Face & Neck Serum during the day and my night cream over it at night. The results? All good!

JURLIQUE natural skin care for what ails and itches your skin!

Hello!
I'm tired. Dehydrated? When I feel both of these at the same time it really shows in my skin and hair.
Alas! Good thing I have my trusty Jurlique Purely Bright Radiance Serum and Viola Cream!

\

The Jurlique Radiance Bright with VitaBrightKX serum is a powerful concentrate designed to help even skin tone and texture. Or in my case, give sallow saggin' skin a boost.  Or in the words of the Jurlique website:

" This powerful concentrate formulated with VitaBrightKx helps to reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolorations and improve skin radiance. Clinical results show that 80% of women noticed improvements in hydration, skin radiance and 67% of women said their age spots appeared lightened after 12 weeks of use."  Find this for $58.00 online or at fine retailers.

 

And now-for a LEGOLAND Waterpark break...luckily the water is heated because the air sure isn't! This ain't no Arizona!

Now, onto the Viola Cream which is a bit of a mystery. I love the cream, it works on every part and person I put it on to soothe dry, chapped, sore skin. Though, the product nor does the Jurlique website really designate what type or kind of cream it's for. It's not labeled a hand cream, or a face cream, just that it's a calming and soothing cream for delicate skin.  It sells for $45.00 and worth it!

The Benefits:

• Gentle cream to calm and restore skin.
• Helps calm flushing of sensitive skin.
• Provides soothing hydration and moisturisation.

The Ingredients:

• Viola soothes and calms even the most sensitive of skins, while Calendula and Chickweed help rebalance sensitivity.
• Rosehip Oil and Carrot Root Extract have hydrating, restorative properties.
• Aloe Vera and Macadamia and Safflower Oils combine to deliver intense moisturisation and softening properties.

Shhh … Salon Hair Secrets Revealed

Get your best hair yet without breaking the bank

This is a TotalBeauty.com hair care article From celeb hair inspirations to pro styling tricks to learning how to work your tools like an expert -- this guide has got it all. See secrets

Here I am about to be inspired by my new samples from Bambola Beauty!
If you aren't familiar with the natural skin care line you should be! They are cruelty free and conservation minded.

Speaking of minded; here I sit with my samples and which to try first?

I have chose to wash my face and try the glycolic sugar cane exfoliant and it fast became my favorite. Why? Because I love the effectiveness of glycolic acid and love exfoliants to keep soft texture on my skin!

Here's some notes on the product from the main site:

Glycolic Sugar Cane Exfoliant
A Bambola Beauty favorite! Glycolic is a naturally-occurring, non-toxic Alpha Hydroxy Acid found in Sugar Cane. Glycolic accelerates the removal of dead skin, increases collagen production, and reduces the appearance of fine lines, sun damage and hyper-pigmentation. This exceptional serum also contains Apple Source Malic Acid and Salicylic Acid that diminish large pores, acne scarring, and help clear oily or acne-prone skin.


Key Ingredients:
Apple Acid – Promotes smoother, firmer skin, helps reverse sun damage
Chamomile - Improves the health of skin, soothing and anti-oxidant benefits
Cucumber – Nourishes, clarifies and soothes the skin
Glycolic Acid from sugar cane – Gently exfoliates and moisturizes dry, dull skin
Size: 1.7 oz. - $48.00
After the glycolic sugar cane exfoliant , I did the mango moisturizing mask and finished with the hydration booster serum before applying my sunscreen laden daily moisturizer over it.

Phew! I just had myself a spa day! My skin looks great and I'm ready for camera to tape the promos for the wedding expo this weekend. Thanks Bambola Beauty for gettin' me gorgeous!

Now, there is a sample of the volcanic mineral scrub and that's for tomorrow...

Vichy for you? Yes!

11 Secrets Your Body Waxer Would Never Reveal

We got the scoop, from what they're really thinking when they're waxing you to their craziest clients and more

Ever wonder what's going through your waxer's mind while you're spread eagle on their table? You could ask, but that whole hot-wax-in-your-private-areas thing can be a little preoccupying, you know? That's why we tracked down these waxing salon owners: Jodi Shays of Queen Bee Waxing in Culver City, Calif., Cindy Barshop of Completely Bare Salons in New York City, and Leah Nacion of The Waxing Co. in Honolulu. They gave us uncensored scoop on everything you'd ever want to know (and then some) about what goes on in waxing salons. See secrets

Liftactiv Retinol HA Night

Total wrinkle plumping care with triple dose Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol + A1 to fight all 3 types of wrinkles: permanent, reversible and programmed.

- Plumping effect visible from the 1st morning2
- With triple dose Hyaluronic Acid for a deeper, more stabilized filling action and Retinol + A1 for an accelerated skin resurfacing effect
- Patented double-gelled-phase formulation technique provides moisturizing and nourishing yet light and smooth texture
- Suitable for sensitive skin, tested under dermatological control, allergy-tested
- Formulated with soothing & fortifying Vichy Thermal Spa Water

Okay! Now that you've read some details about the Vichy line, visit the website and take a peek at their makeup. I'm thinking I need to try this stuff! It looks like a cross between the coverage of Dermablend/Exuviance/Smart Cover with the flex, feel and texture of a moisturizing and hydrating foundation? We shall see.

Well, I've used the Lieftactive Retinol HA for night several nights in a row and my experience has been good. I like the scent, it's European in origin so that means fragrance is added, but I like it and I'm not sensitive to scents. It has a very soft, velvety rich texture and smoothes on the skin with rapid absorption. So, I enjoy it! Why not try it if you are looking for something new in skin care?

Today is the last day of the April "Military Appreciation" month. Thank you to all of our soldiers and veterans for the enormous sacrifice and faitful service. I appreciate you!

Shaun White: Winter Olympic hair volume for the Spring!

Winter Beauty Survival Guide

Learn how to get the cold winter weather to leave your gorgeous looks alone

Winter can be your skin and hair's worst nightmare. It dries out your cuticles, frizzes your strands and makes skin flake -- ugh! To the rescue: tips from Winter Olympics Team USA. Here they share their secrets on how to battle cold winter temps and look gorgeous all cold-weather season long. See tips

 
.If you have been enjoying the Winter Olympics as much as I have then you too have been watching it on television and most likely looking online for recaps. I'm a big snowboard and Shaun White fan! So while I've been watching I have also taken note of what the Olympic athletes skin, hair and even makeup looks like.
 
Today, let's take a look and see about Shaun White' style:
 

That is definately the 80's style volume that we are going to be seeing in the Spring 2010 beauty trend! Though I think his is natural and for your volume I recommend foams like Profound Beauty Stylist volume foam and Aveda's Phomallient.  I think he just looks like a picture of health, vitality, vim and vigor!  Surely that is the result of good eating and wearing sunscreen while practicing his snowboarding tricks. Oh the Double McTwist 1260 is definately going down in history.

I don't know what brand sunscreen he uses, though I know I trust the Neutrogena line, La Roche-Posay, Arbonne, and Bullfrog! Remember to apply it to your hands so they age slower.

Below is a wee clip/photo courtesy of the http://www.nbcolympics.com/ website about the gold and how Shaun White won. Enjoy!

Thu Feb 18, 1:37 AM ET.Snowboarding superstar and defending champion Shaun White won the Olympic men's halfpipe gold on Wednesday, dazzling the judges with his tricks - including the gravity-defying Double McTwist 1260

Congratulations to you Shaun!

Quiz: How Free Spirited Are You?

Free as a bird or a mouse in a maze? Answer these questions to find out what your free spirit quotient is

When we think of what it means to be a free spirit, images arise of great aunt Myrtle freak dancing at the family reunion, but all jokes aside, it really means possessing a whimsical way and living life to the fullest. Your free spirit quotient could determine how much stress you feel and how happy you are in your everyday life. Are you flapping those wings or timidly awaiting your take off? Answer these questions to find out and to learn new ways to let loose. Take the quiz

Deep Moisture Repair Serum this info is straight from the website:
Intensive treatment for dry, combination or aging skin
Deep Moisture Repair Serum is a corrective treatment that delivers a surge of moisture deep into the skin, minimizing fine lines and restoring balance to dry areas. Evening primrose oil, phospholipids and vitamin E bind moisture to the skin while aiding cell renewal. Deep Moisture Repair Serum can be used under moisturizer to nourish dry skin, or as a targeted treatment for lines in the eye and lip areas.

And now for my take: I have dry skin, I run in the sun nearly everyday and I love this and dare say it comes neck and neck with using Chanel Hydraserum yet it is no where near that products price.

The smell is delicious and fresh! The texture is smooth and creamy, it glides on and into skin and does not leave a tacky residue! I'm hooked!

The other treat I have tried for you and have to offer you is: for the upcoming travel and holiday season: whether you are hitting the road for Thanksgiving or need a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for a secret sister/santa: try Zia TO-GO facial starter kits.

I sampled the dry skin set containing:

Moisturizing cleanser

Bamboo Exfoliant

Sea Tonic Rosewater & Aloe Toner

Nourishing Creme and

Citrus Night Time Reversal

Now, true; I am and have been a fan of the Zia line for quite some time. Since I used to host the radio show "Best of Beauty" with Heather Lauder. It was she who got me turned onto these products and I"ve been in love since! If you are familiar with Aveda, the Zia line is similiar, not as aromatic and more widely available at local health food markets such as Sprouts and Whole Foods.

For under $20 you get these 5 products in large nearly 2 oz sizes. Each one has a unique scent that is pleasant yet not overpowering.

The Bamboo exfoliant is gentle. I'm used to scrubbing with Arbonne Thermal Fusion, so it was a nice break to try something of finer grit.

I really like the ease and slip of the cremes and to top them off with the Deep Moisture Repair Serum made my skin very happy.

Here's my gift to you courtesy of ZIA TO-GO!

3 Lucky Makeup University blog readers will receive a complimentary starter kit: one for each skin type: oil, dry orcombination.

Starting today through September 30th: please address an email with your skintype in BOLD letter in the subject line and answer these questions:

1. Name a Zia environmental impact fact?

2. What is your Zia natural cosmetic favorite?

3. What national magazine awarded Zia best exfoliant?

All answers can be found on http://www.zianatural.com/

Remember to include your skin type and contact information. The starter kit will be mailed by to a winner drawn at random that answers the questions correctly. Good luck!
