Product Review: Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask
Would you ever consider spreading mashed potatoes on your face? That's exactly what the Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask ($85) from Fresh feels like. But, alas, starch it is not.
Coming Soon: Bumble and Bumble Creme de Coco Masque
The last launch from Bumble and Bumble was the malleable Spray de Mode Hairspray, and now they're getting ready to release a deep-conditioning treatment called Creme de Coco Masque. The mask was created as an extension to the popular Creme de Coco shampoo and conditioner, which is designed for dull, dry and color-treated hair. It's extremely thick and rich with a powerful coconut scent.
Product Review: Dead Sea Premier Mask Miracle Noir
Dead Sea Premier is a skincare brand I learned about during my visit to the IMATS. Its products are made from minerals, water, and mud from the Dead Sea that have been extracted and purified to help restore elasticity to the skin. The ingredients are natural and contain Vitamins A and E, antioxidants, SPF 17, and eight components that individually decompose hourly to ensure that every application lasts for eight hours.
Hip Hip For Hungary!
People worldwide are beginning to notice the incredibly youthful, taut, and smooth skin of Hungarians. Many feel that it has something to do with the local spring waters that have advantageous healing properties. I think it also has something to do with the fact that beauty treatments such as facials and scrubs are viewed as essentials — a means of gaining clean and clear skin.
Beauty Blooper: What's Behind the Mask
Usually, Beauty Bloopers involve anonymous tales from readers. This one, though, is all Bella. This weekend, I had a hot date with Mr. Bella, or at least a lukewarm one.
DIY Spa Treatment: Face Brightening Mask
Feeling as tired, dull and dry as your skin looks? Don't worry, here's a quick and easy at home recipe to brighten your complexion and put the life back into your lackluster skin. All you'll need is some gram flour, turmeric powder, lime juice, olive oil and milk.
Product Review: RéVive Masque de Glaise
RéVive's new mask, Masque de Glaise ($145), intrigues me simply because its formula includes "the limestone-rich Kentucky mud that nourishes bluegrass and champion horses." Now, I like horses and I like a little bluegrass now and then, so that's enough to pique my interest. Masque de Glaise's promise to instantly reveal complexion clarity has me really going.
Doing Drugstore: Biore Self-Heating Mask
I am somewhat obsessed with unclogging my pores, and over the years, I've tried tons of products that claim to do this, from blemish extractors to Pond's Clear Pore Strips. Though I'm always looking for new tricks, I now have an arsenal of unclogging products I use in combination, and one of those is the Biore Self-Heating Mask ($6.99 for eight masks).
This "one-minute facial" is a great way to prep your skin and open up your pores before using a blemish extractor.
How To: D.I.Y. Spa Treatment - Easy, Breezy Facial
I didn't start getting facials until around the time of my wedding. Although they are totally and utterly amazing, I guess I was just always more of a massage person. Spending my hard earned monies on both treatments was just getting too expensive, so I began reading up on mini facials that could be done at home.
