Lately hair products have reached such an ultra scientific level, it’s like applying skincare technology to the hair. If your hair, too, is in desperate need of an overhaul, we have discovered this gem by Frédéric Fekkai at Beauty.com: the luxurious and scientifically advanced Overnight Hair Repair.
This exclusive treatment totally repairs and replenishes stressed hair during your sleep hours, using the “Repair Patch Technology”: advanced, naturally derived ingredients, including wheat and rice protein, are attracted to the most damaged areas of hair to deliver its benefits there where they are most needed.
It also provides a deep moisture surge that helps achieving healthier, shinier hair, as well as safeguarding your hair from further breakage. This treatment is particularly good for stressed, coloured or styled hair.
Remember this is the equivalent of expensive skincare, only for your hair: therefore, a little goes a long way, and damaged hair will never be the same again.
Lash Pimpin’, the name says it all.
As we previously discussed in Lilash - Best of 2007, eyelashes are the hot stuff in beauty right now.
That’s why the French beauty pros at Make Up For Ever are launching a new campaign called Lash Pimpin’: they want you to get those luscious, sexy lashes you see on magazines.
How, you ask? The answer is, my friends, faux lashes. Whether products like Lilash and IntuitBeauty Enormous Lash work for you or not, faux lashes always work, no matter what.
As a matter of fact, the Lash Pimpin’ campaign is divided in 2 parts: Flash Color and Faux Lashes.
“Flash Color” is a thick, creamy eyeshadow previously used only by professional to create special effects like decorative designs and body painting.
“Faux Lashes” instead, is a collection of more than 50 different false eyelashes - from plain to totally crazy - to intensify and add depth to your eyes, that are reusable and come with their own special adhesive.
If you, like me, are not trained in applying false eyelashes, and think it’s an impossible undertaking - that could possibly end up with your few, sparse eyelashes glued together- gasp! - let the pros at Make Up For Ever help you with this easy, 60-second, step-by-step video:
“The experts at MAKE UP FOR EVER teach you how to apply fabulous Faux Lashes in just 60 seconds. Transform your ordinary lashes into lush natural looking fringe or go wild and create fierce flutter.”quick links: Lilash Purified Eyelash Stimulator
Consumer Reports has tested the 19 best & worst sunscreens for UVA and UVB effective protection. And the results are not very good.
Many products promise more than what they deliver, and most of the time it seems consumers do not apply enough lotion on their skin - therefore making it impossible for sunscreens to do their job.
The product that stands out in this desolate panorama is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock, which offers excellent broad-spectrum protection to help prevent sunburn, skin cancer, and wrinkles.
Its non-comedogenic formula uses Avobenzone (look for Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane in your INCI) to provide advanced protection against damaging UVA and UVB rays, along with Dry Touch technology for a sheer light, oil-free finish. Fast-absorbing and waterproof, this formula is enriched with anti-oxidants to help fight environmental damage.
The panelists’ final score on Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock was 86/100.
Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Sunblock is available at drugstore.com.
