The job of the hair-replacement specialist is to understand these hair loss issues and corresponding hair loss patterns, so that the specialist can recommend the best hair-replacement technique for a particular client.  << Click Here to Read Full Article >>

Skin Care Products for a Healthy Summer Glow

After a luxurious day spent basking in the sun, little feels better than throwing on some lip gloss and an off white outfit to accentuate that hard earned “healthy” glow. Unfortunately, we all know that while the glow looks healthy, it’s not. Bathing in the sun, or in a tanning booth, actually accelerates the effects of aging and increases your risk for developing skin cancer. Lucky for us, there are some fabulous products out there designed to fend off wrinkles, protect from damaging rays, and even reverse the dreaded signs of aging.


<< Smart Girls Who Surf SPF 15 Mineral Lip Balms
This soothing balm keeps your perfect pout hydrated, protected and shining with all-natural ingredients like organic palm oil, beeswax, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic hemp seed oil, rosemary extract and vitamin E.






>> TOCCA Stella SPF 30+ Towelettes
Part of the luxurious beauty collection from NY’s famed Plaza Hotel, these perfectly portable SPF towelettes are a must for those last minute jaunts to the beach. Best of all, they’re packed with vitamins, aloe and marine silk to help calm and soothe skin irritated by the sun.


<< Bioré Combo Pack Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
After subjecting your skin to heat and humidity, pores can become clogged with dirt, oil and debris. These easy to use strips will take care of those nasty blackheads and leave your skin feeling clean and refreshed. A nice bonus: the strips not only rid skin of buildup, but can also help reduce the appearance of pores over time.


>> Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Serum
Unwelcome wrinkles already settling in? This natural anti-aging solution is formulated with Anogeissus Tree Bark which helps boost skins’ elasticity, firmness and bounce. It also helps rebuild natural collagen and elastin, visibly decrease depth and length of lines and wrinkles and strengthen skin.

Loose Pigment Shadow : How to Make it Stay Put

Loose pigment eyeshadow lasts and lasts, and applies like a dream! 

How to apply:

1. Dip your eyeshadow brush in water and dry with a piece of toilet paper, dip in shadow and apply.
2. The key is to not have a brush that is too wet. (If the brush is too wet, the shadow will clump and apply unevenly.) 

Wait a couple of minutes then apply a second coat with a fully dry brush.  

When wearing bold or dark loose pigment shadow, apply before putting on any other makeup.  Then take a cotton ball soaked with cleansing water or toner and remove excess that may fall below your eyes. Apply foundation and the rest of your face, and touch up the shadow as needed with a sponge applicator.)
