C: is for Cosmetically Enhanced!

This weekend at the Javits was the International Beauty Show and girls this is where your stylists learns how to make you look like you jumped off the pages of Vogue. Here is a review of somof the product lines in store for you.
Mommy Makeup was created by ward-winning makeup artist Debra Rubin-Roberts when she became a mom. After giving birth she realized she no longer had time to apply the 13 items she used to get a basic polished look. She needed makeup that was quick and easy and if she needed it, surely other moms did too! With over 15 years of experience as a professional makeup artist she had worked with the top brands available. She got it down to 6 minutes and added a "Paint by Number" Instruction and Face sheet to create the perfect look without the guess work. These fantastic make-up kits shorten your get-ready time, while making you look polished, allowing for the chic care free mom on the go look. Everything is included, and there's no need to scrounge around to determine the who, what, where and why's. Of course this all comes with a pricy tag and I think hiring a babysitter and going and playing at Sephora for an hour is less expensive and a lot more fun.

Starting with a skin care line that sets the pallet, Baronessa Cali began in the 19th century, on an olive grove, on the outskirts of Rome by the Mediterranean Sea. There the Roman nobles discovered the Cali Beauty Farm. Their philosophy has been to treat the outside and the inside of our bodies with the same care while using the finest ingredients. Used by some of the top spa's and bed and breakfasts around the world it is now available at fine drugs stores. I recommend Oliva Corpo which replenishes and revitalises your skin's tones. It contains arnica montana (antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, circulation-stimulating and healing properties, promotes new tissue growth) and kelp (stimulating, revitalising, nourishing and anit-inflamatory properties, reduces moisture loss). These products will not only keep your skin looking radiant but are reasonably priced.

The most interesting product at the show was by Formulary for Physicians, Inc. Their microdermabrasion formulas, Crystal Peel and Men’s Microdermabrasion and Close Shave actually deliver. Crystal Peel is state-of the-art technology which without bleach turns your skin white, youthful and flawless. They rubbed some on my right hand and my skin showed a noticeable difference it lasted until I took a shower, which is impressive. I can't wait to see what it does when I use it on my face. Much better than a chemical peel and quicker.

We live in an age where new products bombard us faster than we can make up our minds. It is our hope we just shed some F.A.C.T.S to help your beauty regime.
