La Prairie Advanced Marine Biology Cream

IDEAL FOR: ideal for all skin types
La Prairie Advanced Marine Biology Cream.

The beauty experts love the ultrasmooth texture of La Prairies's Advanced Marine Biology Cream. Not only does it make our list of the best new moisturizing products, it also makes the perfect gift that gives back for any lucky woman on your list this holiday season.

Why the experts love it: La prairie's new Advanced Marine Biology Cream repairs and protect skin with Eco-friendly, anti-aging ingredients. For every jar purchased, a donation will be made to the Ocean Futures Society. La Prairie's collaboration with Celine Cousteau (granddaughter of famed ocean explorer Jacques and international program coordinator of the Ocean Futures Society) highlights the company's commitment to marine preservation. The collection (a tonic, a night solution and the cream), relies on restorative sea algae extracts collected without disrupting or endangering the ocean ecosystems.

Beauty Mistakes

Beauty Mistakes We've All Made

I have read very nice article about the mistakes we've made, so please read it very carefully.

A few makeup mistakes I've seen friends, my mom, myself and a few people on the subway make:

1. We apply eyeshadow with our fingertips. Don't use your fingers and don't use the cheapie sponge-y thing that comes with your makeup. Instead, invest in an eyeshadow brush. It's worth the $10-$40 and could last your lifetime.

2. We over apply foundation. I've seen women apply tinted moisturizer as a base and then apply foundation over it. Tinted moisturizer acts as a (light and sheer) foundation. You don't need both.

3. We buy foundations and lipsticks at drugstores We all have a "bad shade" drawer -- a bag or drawer of makeup full of wrong shades we bought but couldn't return. Always try before you buy foundations and lipsticks at a department store such as Sephora. You'll save money in the end.

4. We leave the house with dripping wet hair. Yes, curls should air dry. Yes, that can take forever. So do it the night before, or wake up early. Or use a diffuser on your hair dryer or roll your wet hair into a bun. But please do not go out into public with a dripping wet head.

My skin is a sensitive skin so I always search what the new product for my skin, my new found is DARPHIN BEAUTY INTRAL FACIAL SKIN CARE. Actually
I do not have lots of information about Darphin but today I found very nice article about it and I am going to purchase a Darphin ,Soothing Serum this weekend. It may help you if you have a sensitive skin so I will paste that article for you :
Paris may be the home of couture fashion, but it has also created couture skin care. Darphin has specifically designed the Intral range for sensitive skin and it is tailor made to alleviate reactions of intolerance and reduce the appearance of redness. The Soothing Serum and the Recovery Balm use an exclusive combination of active ingredients to calm the skin. Our tester was complaining of red, blemished dry skin caused by the harsh winter weather (wind, cold, central heating) but after using the Soothing Serum overnight, declared her skin was entirely recovered

Orlane Paris

Orlane Paris
Why Does this skin cream cost $650

When the alchemist at Orlane Paris set out to oncoct the ultimate moisturize- the creme de la creme- they liberally mixed cutting-edge technology with ancient Chinese and Egyptian medicinal traditions: Natural royal jelly from bees, acacia senegal, and pure-gold extract-long prized as antiaging remedies-have been filtered through the lab, where they are rendered dermatologically viable.Dubbed Creme Royale, it can be used every day if you want to play the princess

COCO PUFFER : Coco-glycerides ,derived from coconut and fruit sugar,energize skin cells and increase production of collagen, which plumps skin and minimized wrinkles.
WHAT IS THE BUZZ: The Chinese believe royal-jelly supplements boots longevity.Queen bees who eat it live seven years while worker bees who don't indulge live but six weeks.Royal jelly is kept in sealed vials to retain its natural amino acids and B vitamins that brighten and hydrate skin.
SPECIAL ACACIA : Ancient Egyptians applies the gum of the rare African acacia senegal shrub to open wounds.Supremely calming ,it reduces inflammation and redness-ideal for rosacea and eczema.
MIDAS TOUCHED: Injected into skin tissue, ğure gold extract (value at $700 an ounce) attracts collagen and promotes healing .In a cream, it prevents sagging and imparts radiance.

CELLEX-C !!

High Potency Serum is a new products of Cellex-C

Firstly I want to apologise to Cellex-C company, I never interested in their products :( Because of their bottle. It looks like medicine bottle so I didn't like it . I know it is my mistake, I had to care about what is inside but when I saw Cellex-C bottle - like medicine- immediately looked somewhere else.
But yesterday I saw a very nice commercial, I searched them and I found very interesting things.
Especially I liked High Potency Serum. It is oil-free and for all skin types. It contains tyrosine, zinc, patented combination of minerals and vitamins to make skin look younger and heal damaged skin.
For more information I would suggest you visit Cellex-C web site. There is lots of information and researches about their products.I tell you again,
I will follow Cellex more carefully :))

EYE CARE

Taking Care of Eyes.
I am working long hours on the PC - what can I do , this is my job- Yes and I use eye-glass but nowadays my eyes are sending some signal ."Pay Attention- Pay Attention!" They are burning whole day and especially in the morning they are still burning. They are red and itching too much. Anyway today I decided to search about EYE CARE. I have to do something about them. The eyes are the most important part of the body and we always neglect to care for them . And I found some AYURVEDA treatment and suggests. An they are :
- Do not wash the eyes with hot water
- Do not wash the eyes when the body is sweating
- Do not stare
- Sleeping sunrise is harmful for the eyes.
- If you have to stay late, drink a cup of water after each hour
- Avoid staying long in such conditions- dust , strong sunlight, strong wind, smoke.If you have to stay blink ofter and massage with your palms
- Every morning fill your mouth with water, close the eyes and sprinkle water on them about 10-15 times.
- Do eyes exercise- moving eye ball- right and left, upward and downwards and rotating it.
-Rub the palms of both hands for about 30 seconds, close the eyes and gently place the warm palms over the eyes.
-Eat carrot and cabbage - raw.
-Put one drop of honey in each eyes once a week
