Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
Summer is in full swing and while we may enjoy the bright sun and outdoor activities, our faces don’t always react so nicely to the hot weather. If oiliness is a problem for you, whether it be during the summer months or year-round, Bliss has a solution. It’s called Instant Mattification. It’s a combination gel and powder that helps rid your face of shine and reduce your pore size. All you have to do is apply it to the skin and it goes to work keeping your face dry with its smartsponge technology, which is oil control spheres that regulate oil production, and salicylic acid, which soaks up any oil you already have on your face. You can apply as often as you need throughout the day and that goes even if you wear make-up. Instant Mattification can be used underneath or over make-up, so it’s for everybody. So go out and have fun and leave the oiliness behind.

Brow Enhancing Serum
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008
Have you ever been a victim of an eyebrow mishap? Maybe it was a bad eyebrow wax because you went to a new salon or maybe it was over-plucking that left you with some bald spots in your brow. I am sure many can relate, I know I can! And since your eyebrows are important to frame your face and add to your facial features and bone structure, you want to try to keep them looking as good as possible. You may have heard of Anastasia of Beverly Hills. It’s a famous salon that specializes in brows and caters to many of the celebrities. When it comes to eyebrows, Anastasia knows best. And lucky for people like myself who live on the opposite coast of where her salon is located, her line of eyebrow products are available at Sephora. If your eyebrows need some extra TLC, try the Brow Enhancing Serum. It is a gel with proteins and vitamins designed to condition, repair, and restore your eyebrows. If your brows need a pick-me-up and are thinned out from over-waxing or over-plucking, this is the treatment for you. It is designed to help restore your brows and stimulate growth so you won’t have to resort to filling in your brows with eye pencils any longer!

Monday, July 21st, 2008
Need to restyle your hair, but don’t have the time to rewash it so you have nice, clean hair to work with again? Well Jonathan Antin has created the product just for you. Antin is the celebrity stylist behind Jonathan Product, a hair care line that’s mostly all vegan and made with top-notch ingredients. Redo is designed to clean your hair in a pinch so that it can be restyled. It has cucumber and rose essential water that refreshes, vegetable enzyme that neutralizes odor, and natural extracts that condition and add shine to your hair. It also works for those times you’ve used just a little too much product in your hair and want to get some of it out, without completely redoing everything. Just spritz where there’s too much and you’re good to go. If your skin is feeling a bit icky and needs a refresher, feel free to spritz away too. Redo is alcohol free so it can be used to refresh and hydrate the skin as well.

Lush’s Ocean Salt Cleanser
Friday, July 18th, 2008
If you’ve ever been looking for a good facial scrub, but overwhelmed with the hundreds of brands and choices there are, look no more. Lush’s Ocean Salt Cleanser is the best facial scrub I have come across after using several different brands. The minute you open and smell it, you are transported to a Caribbean island with the scents of sea salt, lime, and coconut. It only gets better once you use it. The sea salt in the scrub exfoliates any dead or dry skin and helps clean out any grit or grime you’ve got caught up in your pores and then the coconut and avocado butters in the scrub moisturize your face. Once you rinse it off, you’re face is left feeling squeaky clean with a glowing complexion. And as if that wasn’t good enough, you’ll also feel at ease and de-stressed, almost like you were on a beautiful island. Now why would you pass that feeling up?

Otto Dental Floss Holder by Alessi
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008
Every time I go to the dentist, I get told the same thing - that I need to floss more. I always forget that as part of my morning and nighttime routines so I end up flossing more on the sporadic side than regularly. I think a dental floss holder like this one by Alessi might help remind me to floss everyday. You can string the floss right out and break off the length you need. The holder comes in different colors as well so you can try to match your bathroom decor. This is a great holder for the kids to help make sure they do their flossing too!

Alba Botanica Chemical Free Sunscreen
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008
While it remains incredibly important to lather up in sunscreen before exposing oneself to those harmful rays, it doesn’t mean you have to lather and spread chemicals that could end up harming the skin in other ways. We want to protect our skin, but certainly not expose it to other forms of damage. So, we found a great alternative; this Alba Botanica Chemical Free Sunscreen
