THIS JUNE WE WANT TO MAKE our pages beefier, so we changed our profile pics and made sure we did our own makeup. I think it?s important for beauty writers not only to know how to take care of their skin but also how to apply makeup. This will benefit the readers as we actually practice what we are writing about.

Hair was another issue however. Those who weren?t confident in their blow-drying skills, me included, called Massage By Us for its P250 blow-dry.

For slimming, Marie France brought in CryoSculpt. I must admit this is one procedure I am very open to trying. It helps recontour the body and eliminate love handles. What sold me to this is it?s a non-invasive technology for selective fat reduction. No surgery, incision, and anesthesia are needed. Also the skin and surrounding tissue are left undamaged. The treatment gently cools unwanted fat cells in targeted areas; this weakens the fat, which then will become smaller. Through the natural process the body will then remove the damaged fat cells.

I encourage my husband to take care of his skin. Although skin care rituals may be hard, what I do is ask him to try some products to help me with my articles. Recently I had him try out Shiseido Men?s skin empowering cream and he loves it! I think the masculine packaging helps a lot and he says his skin feels better and he wants to continue using it.

That?s all I really got from him, but his skin does look so much better too. It?s because the Shiseido cream has Carnosine, which is a superior anti-oxidant and is used as a fatigue-fighting supplement to increase endurance. This is known to have anti-aging effects such as high anti-oxidant and anti-wrinkle benefits. It also has Beech Bud, which promotes dermal collagen production that improve wrinkles and skin elasticity. And finally its smell, thanks to Argan wood, makes one have positive feelings.

New makeup

For those going back to school, not only will you be needing new books, but you may want to check your ?kikay? kits for old makeup you should dump. Check out Body Shop?s newest collection, Nomadic Goddess, and grab some bronzers that will make you glow.

What I love the most about Body Shop?s new collection is that it is made to enhance your natural beauty and it doesn?t look heavy when applied, just very fresh and yummy like its Delipscious lip colors and tints.
