Olay Says: Peel Your Way As You Sleep To More Beautiful skin

When it comes to clear, smooth skin, we are a strong believer in chemical peels, especially the do-it-all exfoliator, glycolic acid.

Yes, you can BURN your complexion if you are NOT careful, but if you proceed S-L-O-W-L-Y, you can see dramatic results.

That's why we are intrigued by Olay's new Pro-X Nightly Purifying Micro Peel with glycolic properties.



It's NOT cheap at $40 a bottle, but it seems to do AMAZING things for your skin.

And you DON'T have to wait to rinse it off and neutralize it, either. This modern mini peel can be applied quickly.

You leave the peel on, and it works while you SLEEP.



How cool is that?!

In time, this micro peel can improve the texture + clarity of your skin, but also the size of your pores and the minimization of fine lines + wrinkles.

Plus, your face and neck, do NOT become red + irritated which is common with chemical peels.

We found a bottle at Target
.
  • Simply rub the Micro-Peel on your cleansed skin before bed, even follow with your Olay night cream or moisturizer, and cleanse your face in the morning. Be sure to use a broad spectrum sunscreen SPF of 15 or higher in the A.M.
This sounds beauty worthy!

Flat, Full Straight Brows Are Deemed Perfect: Then Laura Prepon Must Be An Exception?

We found this beauty tidbit from the British Independent.co.uk.

"A new study by plastic surgeons seeking the perfect female brow found that women's eyebrows are becoming lower, flatter and less arched. Researchers say the ideal eyebrow has moved closer to the eye over the past 60 years. One theory is that women are subconsciously opting for a more masculine-looking brow."

Okay, if that is true, then Orange is the New Black star Laura Prepon must be seriously out of trend, because her brows are thin + highly arched.

We think Laura Prepon is one beauty who breaks the rules, because in her case, she looks STUNNING withOUT the low, straight across, flat brows that are so in style these days.


What do you think?

The high arched brow goes well with her pretty, bone structure.

The point is, if your brows don't naturally hang low, full + straight across, then don't force the look.

Meantime, here is a popular, wax brow pencil that goes well with most brow colors:


It's got grip, fills in hairs naturally and is CHEAP.

Ladies....Do you prefer the low, straight across full brow or the thinner, highly arched brow?

Maybelline's New Lasting Drama Gel Pencil For Cool White Cat Eye!

Makeup artists LOVE to add white cat eye makeup during spring + summer, but we think it's kind of glam to do it now, heading into winter--- just barely 3 weeks away.

We think model Jourdan Dunn looks GORG in white eyeliner, wearing the new makeup by Maybelline's Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil ($7.99, at ULTA).


That's a SEXY cat eye......Purr-fect!



If you're kind of shy, then just LINE the lower waterline:  Press the pencil gently against the lower lashes, working across with short, gentle strokes until you get the intensity you want.

Gel pencils are long-lasting in the waterlines.

Actress Marilyn Monroe was a GENIUS at showing off white eyeliner.



When NOT overdone, white eyeliner allows eyes to LOOK fresh + larger.

Neat + Tidy Top Knot Is Hot Hair Trend: Just Look at AMAs 2015!

Wow....Talk about a HOT hair trend. If you tuned into the 2015 American Music Awards last evening hosted by the very talented Jennifer Lopez, then you saw this super cute hair do ALL over the place.

We're talking about the TOP KNOT. So-ooooo ladylike + sophisticated.

Take a peek:

And Kendall Jenner wore the hair trend with some sexy fringe.

This feminine, polished up-do has been wild at the runways and worn by celebs at every age. Here are Lily Rose Depp + Julianne Moore looking neat + tidy in top knots.



Try adding some dry shampoo spray to locks BEFORE creating your cute top knot. It will give a bit of extra grip + volume to hair, so tresses aren't slippery when gathering into the bun
