While reading about Oprah’s Favorite Things 2007 on one of my favorite skincare and beauty sites, Savvy Skin, I discovered Kai’s Fragrance, a line of perfume oil and body products inspired by the uplifting and pleasurable scents of the Hawaiian Islands. Kai Fragrance originally piqued my interest because of it’s name, which happens to be the middle name that I gave to my son. But now, after reading more about the fragrance line, I am dying to try it!
Kai Fragrance was created by a woman named Gaye Straza, whose successful career started when she opened up the first ever upscale women’s boutique in Southern California. She eventually sold her boutique, but continued to manufacture the Kai Fragrance line due to it’s ever growing popularity. I am eager to become acquainted with Kai Fragrance because the line seems very simple, yet nutritious for the skin. Their body products contain excellent ingredients that are vitamin-rich and natural, such as and plant, flower and fruit extracts and essential oils. I am not surprised that this very unique line of perfume oil and body products, which encapsulates the exotic aromas of Hawaii, has developed a long list of fans, including many celebrities.

I’ve been on a hunt to find an eye makeup remover that I could use while trying to create the perfect eyeliner, without having to wipe off all of my eye makeup when I make a mistake. I have finally found this magical beauty tool. Until now, I have always used cotton swabs for my makeup corrections. The problem with using the cotton swab is that after so many times of wiping around my eyes (since it is usually mascara smudges or uneven lines of eyeliner that I have to remove), the delicate skin around my eyelids becomes incredibly sensitive. What’s worse is , after years of doing this, I could have actually promoted premature aging to the skin around my eyes due to all the poking and pulling. Who wants to be responsible for causing their own wrinkles?!
is designed just like a pen with a felt-like tip that is saturated with an oily makeup remover solution. Now you may be wary about using this oily solution on your skin, but in fact, the oil is what makes this product so magical. Truth be told, the best solvent for removing makeup is an oily substance. However, because this makeup remover is just for small corrections and not meant to be used on your entire face, there is no cause for concern. If necessary, all it takes is a simple dab of tissue to remove any residue that may be left on the skin. No problem!
With winter just around the corner, daylight is now fading earlier into night. Along with the sunlight, goes the skin’s summer glow. Disguising a tan less body is easy to do in the winter because the cold weather leaves us with no choice but to cover up. But what do you do about the pale, ghost-like appearance of the skin on your face? In my opinion, wearing a foundation darker than your skin’s natural tone only makes it look like you’re wearing a mask . One of my favorite makeup tricks that I am convinced is the best way to keep your facial skin glowing is the use of a self tanner. However, I don’t recommend just any self tanner. Your best bet is a self tanner that is formulated for use on your face only. Sunless facial tanners will produce a more natural and subtle look. All you really want is a pinch of color, not the look of having just spent the entire day at the beach. Here are some additional tips on how to prepare your skin and apply the self tanner so that you are not left with any streaks or patches of color.
Clarins has just come out with this fantastic new sunless tanner for the face. The
is a facial tanner that comes in two shades of color to accommodate all skin tones. Because this product has a built in self tanner, there is less potency of the tanning ingredients, which allows for daily application without the worry of having too much color on your skin.
Can it be true? Chocolate benefits the skin? That’s crazy talk… or is it?
