Tired Peepers Need Pearl Eyes TriBall Roll On Instantly




When you are tired, your eyes tell the story. There's no escaping it.

Whether it's from a long night out on the town. Or staring into a computer for hours on end. Crying. Smoking. Stressing out. Or fine lines and puffiness spoiling your peepers. Your eyes need help.

And dermatologists love this new beauty gadget.

Alright, we have to say it isn't cheap ($58, http://www.pearl-ice.com/). Unless you can already afford stores like Bendels that carry this cool and refreshing eye treatment. But what we find intriguing about this cute, blue rollerball for the eyes, is it's scientific approach.

The Inka Pearl Eyes TriBall Roll On features 3 Inox Triballs to massage while applying. So you are actually getting a mini-eyelift as you refresh your tired eyes.

This unique formula is swiss glacial eye gel. Read more from the Pearl Ice website:

Pearl Eyes by inka® Gel is composed of Swiss glacial waters of the Diablerets in the Swiss Pre-Alps. These products bring the purity of nature's most precious ingredients. Swiss Glacial Waters are pure and contain Botanical Extracts from Alpine flowers which give additional activity to gel. Pearl Eyes by inka® Gel contains plant extracts for optimal effect.

The genius creator of this eye refresher is a German model named Inka. And model friends like Heidi Klum love the instant fix that Pearl Eyes delivers.

And why not?! This unique and cooling eye gel can get rid of redness, dark circles, and even nicely disguise fine lines and crow's feet.

The Eye Gel rejuvenates and penetrates into the skin applying over and under make-up. The Swiss Glacial Gel can be applied several times during the day and evening.

Now they'll never learn where you've been all night long. Ha!

The Power Of The Peptides In Skin Rejuvenation

Remember these words: Blue Copper 5.

This ain't your mama's jar of cold cream, ladies.

The science has advanced greatly in the war on wrinkles and aging. And some of the most encouraging skin rejuvenation has come about from the power of the peptides. Namely copper and the 5-chain Penta-Peptide joining hands and giving women back the skin they crave for most: firm, supple, and healthy-looking.

We have talked about copper peptides before, and the amazing skin care science that has emerged, thanks to the genius of biochemist Dr. Loren Pickart.

It was Pickart who discovered the role that remodeling copper peptides play in the repair of human skin and other tissues. This peptide is called, GHK-Copper. And it is being cited as a new weapon in the anti-aging arsenal.

“I have studied methods of reversing human aging for my entire career,” Dr. Pickart said. “It was from these studies, that the human GHK-Copper was found.”

And today because of his inventions and GHK-Copper, giant skin care companies have products based on his discoveries.

And namely, Blue Copper 5, a superb copper peptide beauty treatment by Osmotics. This jar contains a skin firming and elasticity repair serum (1.7 oz, $85, osmotics.com).

As the Osmotics folks like to say at their website: "The intelligent choice for ageless beauty."

So, do you really need copper peptides in your skin care routine?

Yes. According to their website, it's for anyone wanting increased firmness, elasticity and tone - those concerned with preventing and repairing damaged skin and signs of aging. Perfect for all skin types including sensitive.

Oil Of Olay Introduces Most Potent Skin Line Pro-X

Ladies, we have been hearing lots of hype about the well-respected Oil of Olay skin care brand and its 2009 debut of Pro-X. Well, it's finally here!!!!

It's quite a bit pricier than all the other fine Olay skin care beauty treatments. But Olay says the clinical trials have proven it's valuable stuff.

Pro-X is formulated with proprietary peptides. That translates into collagen-boosting ingredients. And we could all use a little more of that.

Each wrinkle-fighting product in the Olay Pro-X skin care arsenal costs at least $40 and higher.

Some women who have tried the Pro-X line, say it works wonders, when combined with proven wrinkle-fighter Retin-A. Hmmm- we are intrigued by that.

Meantime, why not sample the new Oil of Olay Pro-X skin care line by purchasing the starter protocol kit. You get to try 3 superior treatments:

Protect skin in the morning with Age Repair Lotion with SPF 30, spreading evenly over your face and neck.

Treat skin morning and night by applying Eye Restoration Complex to the corners, lid and sub orbital eye area, massaging thoroughly until absorbed.

Transform skin at night with Wrinkle Smoothing Cream by smoothing over your face and neck.

Here's the good news----the Olay starter protocol kit costs $61.50 at drugstore.com. But the sweet Oil of Olay folks are offering you a nice little rebate:

Special offer: save $25
From now until March 8, 2009, get a $25 rebate with the purchase of $50 worth of Pro-X products.


Simply visit: http://www.olayprofessional.com/.

Look, we like to pretend we are a skin care snob, but if this stuff works wonders, then just pass us the Pro-X.

How To Get Shiny Hair In A Bottle The Citre Way

We talk a lot here about hair.

When you see a beautiful head of shiny tresses, it makes you wonder. Was she born with such shiny hair? Or is she spraying on something that gives it such a glossy high-wattage brilliance?!

With all the abuse we do to our many, many strands of hair, it's a wonder that we have any left on our heads. Think about it--shampooing every day in the shower for many of us. Blowdrying, day after day after day. Heading out into the harsh elements of blazing days in the sun. Dry, brittle cold nights of winter. Pollution. Smog. Constant coloring and perming and straightening.

The makers of Citre hair products have a new kid on the block, and it's a keeper:

Citre Shine Color Prism Thermo Defense Shine Glaze ($5.99, at a drugstore near you).

That's quite a mouthful. But the product rocks!!

"This Multi - Reflective Thermo Defense Shine Glaze will protect all colored hair from the drying, damaging effects of heat styling. This thermo active formula enriched with citrus waxes shields your hair creating resistance to damage from heat styling, leaving hair protected, healthy and full of multi - dimensional shine."

What we find refreshing about this Citre Shine Glaze is its gentleness to colored hair. But most importantly, its texture. You merely spritz it on to towel-dried hair, and then blowdry. Or you can add it as a finishing touch to dry hair.

The serum is wonderful. It doesn't give you a head of the 'greasies.' And we all know that can happen when you over-dose on the typical shine serums.

It's all in the science of the citrus waxes. According to the Citre company, these waxes are "naturally prismatic as they create an invisa - shield around the hair shaft, adding multi - dimensional highlights while helping to protect and prolong color vibrancy."

Shine on, ladies. At $5.99 a bottle, this stuff goes a long way.

Allergan Botox Maker Now Excited About Latisse For Long Lashes


Some women are calling Latisse, Botox for the eyes.

But you don't have to worry. This exciting new product developed by Allergan, the same folks who brought you Botox, does not entail stinging needle pricks around your eyelids. Thank goodness.

Latisse could prove to be one of the most important beauty treatments in 2009.

Latisse grows you longer, thicker, darker eyelashes and all with a simple, painless drop of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution-0.03%. The Latisse.com website explains it all:

"Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of LATISSE™ solution on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip.

Immediately draw the applicator carefully along the skin at the base of the upper eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) just as you would apply liquid eyeliner. This area should feel lightly moist without runoff.

Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid with a tissue."

What we love about this eyelash thickener---it's the first and only one for treatment approved by the FDA for hypotrichosis of the eyelashes. That means, having inadequate lashes.

This is a once-daily prescription, available only through a doctor.

What's remarkable, you can see a signifcant difference in upper eyelashes in about 8 weeks, with full results in 16 weeks. By the way, this prescripition is not designed to use for the lashes along the lower lid.

But you must be anchored to Latisse for life. In other words, if you stop using Latisse, your eyelashes will return to their previous appearance within weeks or months.

Any harmful side effects? According to Allergan, the clinical trials lasted for 13 years, and the product has proven to be quite safe. Usually redness or itchiness around the eye is common. But, there are a couple of concerns:

"LATISSE™ use may cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be reversible. Although not reported in clinical studies, LATISSE™ use may also cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely to be permanent."

We still believe that Latisse is a super beauty treatment for women who have always desired long, thick, dark lashes. The results are amazing. And your doctor will be able to determine if you are, in fact, a good candidate for this prescription.

Latisse by the way, is here. Allergan is launching the beauty product nationwide in the first quarter of this new year.
