Sublime Sun Advanced Sunscreen by L'Oreal Paris

New Sublime Sun Advanced Sunscreen from L'Oreal Paris is here to protect you from the summer sun's menacing rays! 

The new "skin beautifying suncare" with anti-oxidants is sheer and lightweight so you won't feel like you're soaked in sunscreen.  Perfect for everyday use under your regular moisturizer, Sublime Sun's ultra water resistant formula won't let you down. In addition to protecting your skin from harmful UV rays, you're also beautifying with multi-action anti-oxidants such as Vitamin E and White Grapeseed (both keep skin healthy and youthful looking) to provide multi-layer protection.

My personal favorite of the L'Oreal Sublime Sun Advanced Sunscreen products is the Hydra Lotion Spray (pictured below).  The super fine mist applied easily and melted into my skin without me having to rub it in.  It left my skin feeling silky smooth all day and never once did I feel greasy or like I smelled as though I should be sitting pool-side rather than out running errands!

Finally, A Retinol Night Cream For Sensitive Skin From ROC!

Finally a retinol cream made specifically for sensitive skin!

When the skin care experts refer to sensitive skin, they're referring to skin like mine.  For all of my adult life I've had to dilligently scour the ingredient index of every skincare product I come in contact with  for anything that may irritate my skin, so I hesitated before trying the new milder formula of ROC's Retinol Correxion Night Cream for sensitive skin fearing the chapped, red skin that usually follows after I experiment with something new.  As instructed on the box, I used lightly every other night before bed at first just to make sure I was in the clear.  Two weeks later it's all good!  No red marks, no painful, chapped skin, no peeling!  Instead, just smoother looking skin!

ROC's Retinol Correxion Sensitive Night Cream was specifically designed for people, like me, with skin sensitive to retinol and also, for retinol beginners, to help condition skin to retinoids.  It contains a milder strength of retinol that works through the night to target and fight wrinkles with minimal or no irritation. 

If you have sensitive skin and are looking for a retinol night cream to help with skin texture, expression lines, wrinkles and radiance you have to try ROC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Night Cream!

Face: Start with a clean moisturized face, apply Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Airbrush Spray Makeup to a large powder brush and then dust over the face evenly. This spray foundation glides on and is so light but dries like powder. Layer for extra coverage.

Dust the cheeks with Revlon Powder Blush color Softspoken Pink. Apply to the cheek and sweep back to the ear.

 

Eyes: Apply the lightest shade in the Nuance Salma Hayek Mineral Eyeshadow Duo Sheer Plum/Putty, under the brow and to the inside corner of the eye. Then the plum shade to the crease of the eye and blend up to meet the light color.

 

Run a line of Maybelline Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Charcoal along the top lash line and re-apply for a thicker line. Start at the outer corner and work in.

 

Finish the eyes with two coats of Maybelline XXL Pro Volume Mascara Very Black

 

Lips: Gloss and enhance the natural lip color with Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Gloss Nutri Berry.

 

ByuTi Brings its Luxury Salon to Brentwood

Last week Natasha Sunshine-Antonio, owner of the infamous ByuTi on Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica, opened the doors to her newest premier Hair Therapy Salon in Brentwood, CA.

I've been a client of ByuTi for over a year and will tell you that I have never had better looking or healthier hair in my life. I've had my locks cut and colored by a few different stylists at ByuTi and each time I have been beyond impressed, recommending ByuTi to friends any chance I get!

When I sat in the stylists chair last week at ByuTi's new Brentwood location, I could smell PureOlogy in the air couldn't wait to have my hair pampered and nourished. My hair was treated to one of ByuTi's custom Beauty Blenders, a carefully-crafted hair treatment mixed with a PureOlogy masque, customized just for my hair. The conditioning hair mask was brushed onto my wet hair, then I relaxed under a micro mist machine for fifteen minutes while my hair soaked in the much needed nutrients. A refreshing blast of cool air the last minute of the treatment closed up the hair follicles keeping all of the nutrients trapped in my hair's core.

Once my hair was healthy again from the Beauty Blender, I was treated to an amazing ByuTi hair cut.  My stylist, Lee worked magic on my mane!  He went to town trimming, twisting, and twirling until I was left with gorgeous, bouncy, healthy hair.  That day after I left ByuTi I had more compliments on my hair than I'd ever had!

Here are just a few of ByuTi's unique offerings:

·         The Healing Haircut: Equal parts restorative meditation and beauty treatment, a Healing Haircut combines a cut with massage, reiki, and acupressure. The treatment begins with a question to the client: what would you like to let go of? Next, he/she is asked to imagine giving up that something with the cutting away of hair. The healing portion of the process follows, and then the cutting begins.

·         Custom-Blended Reparative Treatments: The ByuTi team specializes in creating healthy hair. Just as each client is unique, each treatment is specifically formulated to give him/her the greatest results possible. ByuTi Blender treatments are available to help smooth coarse hair, thicken fine or limp hair, add shine to dull locks, rebuild protein in weak or damaged hair, repair over-processed hair and to help fight oily hair. Clients can choose between one or multiple blenders to bring their hair to the fullest health and quality.    

·         Men’s Grooming: Not just for women, ByuTi makes the salon process comfortable for men, while delivering the latest in men’s grooming.

·         ByuTi is a sustainable salon and member of Santa Monica’s Sustainable Works Organization.  Sustainable Works also awarded ByuTi with a Gold Medallion for their efforts in making ByuTi a Green Standard Salon.

·         ByuTi also works side by side with Global Green every year at their pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles and their Eco-Friendly Fashion Show in San Francisco benefiting Global Green.  ByuTi hosts an annual fundraiser, Blow Dry Boot Camp, to assist Global Green’s efforts.


With the feel-good mantra, "Give Goodness" ByuTi provides clients with more than just a beautifying experience. From wholesome ingredients used to extra services provided, the goal is to serve with integrity, excellence and professionalism.

Juice Beauty - The Organic Solution for Daily Skin Essentials

Every year as the weather gears up for spring and summer, I try to adjust my skincare routine accordingly.  There is nothing I hate more than the feeling of layered face makeup when the weather turns hot!  That's why I tend to switch to a tinted moisturizer for the warmer months of the year. 

I've just recently tried and fell in love with Juice Beauty Tinted Mineral Moisturizer with SPF 30.  This really light mineral-tinted moisturizer is chemical free and contains certified organic white grape and pomogranate juices, super powerful antioxidants packed with vitamins galore.  Vitamin C promotes healthy circulation, collagen and elastin cell turnover while  vitamin E helps protect cells from the aging process.  And these are just a few of the organic ingredients Juice Beauty packs their product with.

Another thing I love about Juice Beauty's Tinted Mineral Moisturizer is that it will not clog your pores!  It's full of organic plant oils of sunflower, avocado and jojoba seed which are all high in essential fatty acids that nourish our skin and keep us looking gorgeous!
