[GUEST POST] - TURN TO A SKIN CLINIC FOR HELP AND GUIDANCE

Mood [Excited]
Currently Playing [Chris Medina – What Are Words]


A Danish proverb says "beauty without virtue is like a rose without a scent," this is something that may daunt a person at any given moment because time can be a cruel thing. Beauty and confidence go hand and hand. Beauty is not admired if the person who holds it does not feel it-even if it is there. What a skin clinic returns to you, is your confidence, happiness, inner beauty, virtue and it returns the scent of the rose.
The enemies of self-esteem do not only fall under one banner. Excess fat is only one of the things attacking your spirit because age and gravity is as well. Do not fret, you have a strong warrior fighting for your right to live happily, with a heart that is victor against the hands of time- you have a good laser skin clinic. What can this clinic do to work against the clock? They are capable of skin tightening, body contouring, skin rejuvenation, Juvaderm, Botox injections, and Venus Freeze among other procedures, which are made for those who will not succumb to time and do not have to. Experts are advising against intrusive procedures, such as, liposuction or any other surgical procedure but tend to favour non-invasive procedures. Non-invasive procedures have little to no downtime and minimal potential dangers and side effects compared to the 'traditional' procedures.


A good laser skin clinic is one that does not wish to invade your body. The less time a doctor spends inside your body the less danger you are exposed to. Surgery is a moment in which your body is the most vulnerable and you do not want to be in that position if you do not have to be. Venus Freeze, for example, is a procedure that can tighten your skin, reduce wrinkles or cellulite as well as circumferential reduction. This procedure is non-intrusive; you just feel a warm sensation during the process. It uses radio frequencies and pulsed magnetic fields to get the job done safely and quickly.

It is our moment to take back what life, time and gravity have taken away from you. You do not have to accept what 'time' has dealt you. Your beauty deserves your confidence, and everyone around you will be impressed at your beautiful stance against time. You can walk out of that skin clinic, and once again, be who you were.

METALLIC AND HOLOGRAM EVERYTHING

Mood [Full]
Currently Playing [None]


Welcome to the future everyone! Metallic and hologram prints are all the rage this season! This trend became very popular during Spring 13' and it's forecast to stay throughout Autumn 13'. By adding a metallic purse or clutch can easily take your outfit from plain to glam. The trend may seem very intimidating at first because it can look like a Halloween costume if it's taken too far. So it's important to learn some tricks for wearing glamorous designs. When working with such bold prints and colours, it's all about balance. By pairing the sparkly pieces with a more muted outfit can easily balance everything out. For example, if you have an over-sized envelope hologram clutch, pair it with a white tee and a pair of skinny jeans. Then this trend will become totally wearable.

WHY I LIKE THIS PRODUCT
I've had tried my share of these nail strips by various companies. (You can check out all my nail reviews here) So these new Avon Nail Art Design Strips are nothing new or surprising for me. It's great that I don't need to read the instructions anymore. I have taken a photo of the designs that are sent to me below: (These nail designs will not be available until July 2013)

What I like most is the unique designs. I especially love the 3D elements of these strips and the bow one is very cute! According to the media package that I was sent, it seems that there are a total of 19 designs. I really like Red Hot Lace, Denim Stars and Bows for You. Unfortunately I only received Bows for You so I'm saving that one for a special occasion for me to wear because it's super kawaii.

I find that these are very similar to the Sally Hansen ones in texture and lasting power. They are very thin and easy to apply. They are also rather stretchy, which means that you can pull on them a little in order to get rid of any bumps. Of course, some designs are still more forgiving than others. As for lasting, I would say that it can last for 5-7 days but nothing more than a week. I find that like most stick on strips, it tends to peel off at the tips. Thus, it can be pricey considering it cost $10 for a week's manicure. What I like to do with the extra strips, the ones that are too big for my finger nails? I usually use them on my toe nails for a pedicure as well! That way it's not too expensive considering $10 for both a mani and a pedi is pretty decent. Here are two samples:


Very nice right? But you can see that in the first photo, some bumps are more noticeable than others. Available as of July 2013 through Avon Independent Sales Representatives, 1-800-265-AVON or online at www.avon.ca


RATING
Product (4/5)
Cost (4/5)
Ease of Use (5/5)
Packaging (4/5) - Nothing too fancy.

Romwe floral t-shirt (buy here), Garage skirt, from Hong Kong pink flats, eBay sunglasses (buy here) & statement necklace (buy here)
First of all, please excuse the really crappy quality of these photos. I'm so regretting that I have taken these with an iPhone instead of a DSLR. Well, it just proves it, an iPhone 5 (or any camera phones for that matter) is still no way and should never replace a professional camera. (That's the little photographer major inside me speaking). But anyways, as most of you probably know, I"m a huge, huge fan of online shopping. Mainly because I don't like waiting in lines/crowds to have to dig through the items, nor do I have time. I would much rather purchase most things online and wait for it to be shipped to my house. (I love getting mail) So my recent purchases are these two items from ebay: white sunglasses ($2.25) and the statement necklace ($6.32). Amazing prices and amazing products. Another reason why I don't mind the wait of online shopping.

Monoi is obtained by macerating 100 fresh Tiare flowers in 1 L of Coconut oil. For more than 10 years, Yves Rocher has had the privilege to use a Tahitian Monoi that is AOC certified (appellation of controlled origin). This designation guarantees the authenticity, the quality and the local production of the Monoï. This summer Yves Rocher will be launching their Monoi collection, which will feature some of the products below:
