"Smart Women Reduce Wrinkles While They Sleep" - Frownies


For those of us who don't like the idea of going under the knife to smooth out the lines and wrinkles on your faces this is a great alternative and one you should definitely try before resorting to surgery. Labelled as "the Botox alternative, Frownies are facial pads made from natural, skin-friendly materials. Frownies are applied to the forehead and corners of the eyes and mouth to gently re-educate the underlying muscles to assume their correct, relaxed and natural appearance. Frownies, in fact, allow the deep expression lines to heal, leaving younger, relaxed looking skin."

You basically put the pads on your face at night while you sleep and thats when it does all the work, so you don't need to wear embarrasing stickers on your face during the day! The product is endorsed by Rene Russo, David Anderson and Rick Baker and has been featured in Oprah magazine.

So how do they actually get rid of your lines and wrinkles? The explanation from the Frownies website is "Frownies work by training the facial muscles to stay in position. The facial muscles are attached to the skin, so as you retrain the muscles, the skin becomes tighter. By holding the muscles in place, the skin is allowd to smooth out."

No chemicals, no face washes or ointments to apply. Simple really, and worth a try before spending the money on face lifts or botox. If anyone has used Frownies or know of someone who has, please leave a comment and let everyone know your opinion.

Lancome Treatment Tips


I received some mail from Lancome recently with some beauty tips that I would like to share with you all. The tips are brought to you by Dr Tina Alster, who is Lancome's Consulting Dermatologist.

NEVER APPLY DRY
Skin is like a sponge and will absorb products better if it's already damp following cleaning and toning.

MASSAGE AND LIFT
Apply your daily moisturizer with a face-lifting touch-in an upward, outward direction to defy gravity.

HANDS OFF
Stop touching your face througout the day. Each time you touch, you are potentially disposing dirt, oil or worse.

GET YOUR BEAUTY SEEP
Nighttime is the best time to fight wrinkles. When skin is resting, it's naturally more receptive to self repair and renewal treatments.

3 Strikes....You're Pout


Well, this was one product that dropped into my inbox today, that I couldn't resist sharing with you all. Sephora is promoting a new product from Two Faced. FUZE Slenderize Guilt Free Lip Gloss which they claim "always on the lips, never on the hips".

What it is:

A super shiny lip gloss inspired by Fuze energy drinks that energizes and slenderizes.

What it does:

Quench your thirst for a beauty buzz with FUZE Slenderize Guilt Free Gloss. Infused with the healthy, delicious fruit flavors and appetite curbing energy boasting ingredients found in FUZE Slenderize beverages. One Delicious dab on the lips will give you a taste of what all the Hollywood starlets are losing it over! Always on the lips, never on the hips!

What else you need to know:

Slenderize Gloss comes in three mouth watering shades: Blueberry Raspberry, Strawberry Melon, and Dragon Fruit Lime. One squeeze produces a dab of long lasting , high gloss, silky formula, that creates juicy, sexy lips that smell as good as they taste.

This is a new product exclusive to Sephora and I think it would be great to have whether or not is does "energize and slenderise" or not. It's so cute and looks just delicious.
