Protecting lips is paramount in maintaining comfort and enjoyable kissing moments. The wind, pelting rain and other wet elements are not the only villains to throw off the balance of moist, wearable lips. The sun also plays a major role in stripping lips of their vital plumping moisture. In order to keep lips moist and in good working order, they need a super SPF formula that protects from the beating UV rays as well.
LAVANILLA has a super solution for protecting lips from UV rays. The Healthy Lip Screen SPF 30 is a wonderful 100% natural one-stop solution for keeping lips in good graces. The vitamin-infused formula nourishes lips with castor, shea butter, lanolin, beeswax, peppermint oil, menthol, licorice and a healthy dose of zinc oxide. THERE ARE NO mineral oils, petrochemicals, pthalates, propolene glycol, silicone, synthetic dyes, sulfates, parabens or chemical sunscreens. This product is also PABA-free.
For best use, apply before sun exposure. Of course it is recommended to reapply as needed. The compact packaging of the product allows for immediate toting while traveling, commuting or going to the gym. Add this to your beauty solution collection by first visiting www.lavanilla.com. This product is one in a series of four products from LaVanilla dedicated to provide 30+ SPF.
RichiBrown, the UK company who offers the world’s first and only all natural and organic ingredient topical alternative to BOTOX®, has officially named beauty expert Sue Moxley as the face of NATOX.

In a recent conversation with RichiBrown Co-Founder John Richardson, Richardson expressed his delight at Sue being the face of NATOX. Sue is the perfect woman for NATOX. We looked at lots of ladies in their 20′s and 30′s. Sue’s been using the product for 9 months. She believes in the product and now NATOX is Sue Moxley’s secret weapon!
Sue Moxley has been quoted while expressing her thoughts on NATOX, NATOX is my secret weapon and I’ve tried BOTOX® and I’m sticking with NATOX.
For anyone who is not fully familiar with NATOX, the video below will share usable details. For anyone wanting a first-hand account of use, I will clearly share that the results are phenomenal. Immediately I saw a difference in the deep horizontal lines in my forehead.

Is it possible to instantly take the illusion of 15-20 years off the face? Some would say yes as long as a thick slather of solutions were applied. According to others, going under the knife or taking in a few injections may be the secret to a temporary fountain of youth. While some are brave enough to bear the burden of pain that goes with medical enhancements, non-surgical temporary relief is just one rosey jar away.
Cellular Treatment Rose Illusion from La Pairie is a lovely way to start any cosmetic look. Upon application, features are instantly softened and ready to receive foundation for a flawless velvety finish. The formula’s unique hybrid incorporation of light-deflecting polymers and optical diffusers instantly shaves a good 15-20 years off any face seeking a more youthful appearance. For anyone seeking a perfect velvety makeup finish with long wear, the light rose-colored gel …say about 6-8 hours.
Application is both simple and enjoyable. This solution may be applied by fingertip or by professional foundation brush. Apply around the eye, mouth and laugh line areas. May be applied all over the face for maximum effect. Can be applied over daily skin care and of course under concealer and foundation. Only use a tiny bit…that’s all you will need!
My experience. Don’t let the $115.00 price tag scare you off. This is an amazing investment to make and once it’s made, you will be glad you did! My experience started with my 63 year old mum. She instantly noticed a more youthful appearance and now asks me to apply her makeup more often since her first time trying on. My first application was magical as my face looked like it morphed into that of a 25 year old. My makeup held up over six hours and topically applied color held longer than normal. I was VERY pleased with the results! Projected life span of product if used once a day, five times a week…between 6-9 months easily!

When it comes to tinting the cheeks, there are quite a few ways to go about making the apples of the face take on a personality of their own. Today, I was introduced to a great concept and color from the mastermind herself, Sonia Kashuk. My solution of focus? Super Sheer Liquid tint in POPPY 03.
The packaging made for simple color recognition and product dispensing. One simple pump releases enough tint to grace both cheeks with the right amount of color. The POPPY 03 hue is perfect for fusing a hint of peachy tone to warm facial features sweetly. The specialized formula of blue lotus, hibiscus flower and French rose extracts make for a sheer color anti-aging dream. Apply this product with finger tips onto bare skin or over one of your favorite Sonia Kashuk foundations.
If the sweet and sultry color of Poppy is not enough to draw you in, the tuberose and Fleur de cocombre fragrance combination certainly will. In addition to this peach of a tint, Sonia offers two more hues in this book of colors-Peony and Rose. Add one or more to your cosmetic color collection by visiting www.target.com.
It’s not secret that Kate Bosworth had more than one opportunity to be the center of attention recently at The Sundance Film Festival. Through all the excitement, how does Kate maintain her healthy and well-balanced looks? Votre Vu Makeup Artist Kelsey Deenihan shares her secrets behind two of Kate’s looks at this year’s festival.
For the premiere of “Black Rock” at the Sundance Film Festival I prepped Kate’s face by using a combination of different Votre Vu products to create the perfect canvas ready for the makeup application.
I started off by massaging “ATTENTIVE Creme de Jour for Sensitive Skin” all over the face and neck. This cream is great because it calms the skin and replenishes moisture – especially in these weather conditions.
To keep the under-eyes moisturized, I lightly smoothed into the skin “Tout le Monde Antioxidant Eye Gelee.”
Next I applied Votre Vu Sensational Eyes Eye Primer in Medium on lids for a perfect way to keep eye shadow on all day – the perfect base.
To finish prepping the face for makeup I dabbed a drop of the “Attentive Serum Delicat Pour Le Visage” into the skin and massaged starting at the center of the face and moving outward. Kate has amazing skin so she really doesn’t need a heavy foundation. To set the foundation I dusted onVotre Vu Mineral Powder in Light all over the face.
For the premiere I wanted Kate’s makeup to be fresh and natural but with a bold classic red lip. The perfect base for the lipstick is the Votre Vu Champagne Kisses Lip Treatment. I didn’t line Kate’s lips so the Champagne Kisses pulled double duty by moisturizing and preventing the lipstick from bleeding out.
Today with Kate we started off by prepping the face similar as I did last evening. Kate was doing a full day of press for her movie “Black Rock” here at Sundance so we needed the skin to be extremely hydrated to prevent the makeup from looking heavy…especially in this freezing dry air.

To make sure Kate’s lips were moisturized and smooth I applied the Champagne Kisses lip treatment. This prevented the elements from really chapping the lips.

Do you remember a time when wearing a heavy fragrance was in fashion? I do. When applied in major amounts, wearers of this cosmetic art could be spotted meters away…literally! There are those who enjoy wearing quite a lot of fragrance and take pride in doing so. There are others who enjoy being around those who douse themselves in their favorite scents. Quite frankly, in my opinion, its so much more sexy to be close to an object of affection while enjoying the subtlety of fragrance than to worry about filtering the air around me. Some fragrances cannot be tamed in terms of pungent ingredients since they are created from some of the world’s purest finds. What about fragrances on the lighter side? Do these exist for everyone?
Taking its place among the many fragrances for everyone is the elixir essentiel. A Votre Sante is one of the lightest, yet memorable fragrances that anyone can wear. The champagne hued liquid serves more than one function. Of course, it adds to the layers of personal grooming serving as a fragrance. Taking fragrances to an entirely different level, A VotreSante adds volumes and value by boosting your mood.
What makes this elixr a mood pleaser? A careful mixture of eucalyptus leaf oil, hybrid lavender oil, camphor bark oil, peppermint, cubera fruit oil, niaouli leaf oil, anise, and rosemary make for a light manly scent and elated moods. What’s mystifying is the strength of all these ingredients coming together and producing a light fragrant mist. This product maintains freshness from it being packaged in a stately glass bottle and is dispensed through an air-tight spray top.
1. (Chemistry / Alchemy) an alchemical preparation supposed to be capable of prolonging life indefinitely (elixir of life) or of transmuting base metals into gold
2. anything that purports to be a sovereign remedy; panacea
3. an underlying principle; quintessence
4. (Medicine / Pharmacology) a liquid containing a medicinal drug with syrup, glycerine, or alcohol added to mask its unpleasant taste
How to wear. Shake the bottle well. Close eyes and spray liberally onto face. The instant personality booster may be used to set makeup and may also be enjoyed as hydration relief.
Yes, light fragrances with a powerful presence do exist. A Votre Sante is one that serves multiple functions and may be enjoyed by all who seek natural alternatives to their current everyday fragrance choices. Add this to your cosmetic collection by first visiting www.votrevu.com.
