Alpha Hydrox's 14% Intensive Glycolic AHA Serum Less Than $20 And Works Great!

A super complexion is ALWAYS something to shoot for. It requires careful thought + proper products to achieve a smooth, clear texture and radiant glow with the diminishing of fine lines + wrinkles.

We work hard daily to improve our complexion, and we are still NOT satisfied.

No matter what cost + type of beauty products you use, results come S-L-O-W-L-Y.
You MUST be patient. And that is not easy for any of us.

We are a Retin-A user and like to switch it up between Vitamin C serum + Glycolic Acid treatments.

Today, we are suggesting this wonderful, cheap skin care product found in your local drugstore for LESS than $20.

Try $18.99, Walgreens.

The texture feels + looks like water, but don't let its consistency fool you. This alpha hydroxy acid (glycolic) is a solid 14% in potency.

Easy to use, too--- under make-up or at night with a moisturizer. It stings a bit when applied, but we know the glycolic acid is working.

The pH level is a 4, so it is not TOO strong or damaging to the complexion.

This AHA serum keeps you acne-free, allows skin to glow and exfoliates nicely. Plus, it feels GREAT on your face + neck.

We are using it right now about 3 times per week.

We give Alpha Hydrox' 14% Intensive Glycolic AHA Serum the beauty thumbs up!

At LESS than $20, what have you got to lose?

Lip Liner Necessary? Some Makeup Experts Say, Yes!

Lip liner.

We NEVER wear it, but we will buy a couple of these soon to try them out to fill in our entire lips.

We are sure that a good number of you reading this beauty post DO enjoy applying lip liner BEFORE putting on gloss or lipstick.

Many professional makeup artists believe that lip liner defines your mouth flawlessly, helps you fill in lip irregularities, and allows you to look even more amazing in photos or on video.

Here are 3 basic lip liner tips:

• Do NOT over-line
• Match the liner to the lipstick shade
• Do NOT forget to connect the corners

An inexpensive brand to try is Rimmel. The makeup company sells a great lip liner:

Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Stay On Lip Liner Pencil ($3.99)

We found it at ULTA.

Plus, this lip liner comes in 12 pretty shades, like Indian Pink + Tiramisu.

Plus, you can watch this YouTube demo by Huda Beauty for some sensible lip lining advice.

Best Celeb Hair Of The Moment Goes To Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian is killin' it with her sassy, curve-hugging style and her gorgeous, curly, voluminous do!

The youngest K sister is in New York City to promote the start of her new television show, "Kocktails with Khloe."

She's painting the town RED in that HOT cherry-colored dress. She wore that look at an appearance this morning  on "Live! with Kelly and Michael."

And the BUZZ is on Khloe's super curly, big hair. She looks fab!

To COPY Khloe's glam hairstyle, you need  2 things---- a curling iron + Mizani styling product.

Her stylist Cesar Ramirez used both to achieve her high glam look.

We suggest Mizani Iron Curl Heat Styling and Curling Cream ($10.48, at Amazon.com).

Now, curl away, ladies!

We give Khloe's  big hair a big thumbs up!

Kim Kardashian's Signature is the Duster Coat.....Best Cover-Up

Maximum coverage and a loose comfy style. That's what the duster coat delivers to every woman's silhouette.

And maybe that is why fashion's most stylish reality TV star has worn the duster coat out + about through both pregnancies.

Kim Kardashian has made the duster coat one of her signature style pieces. She has worn them in just about EVERY color, fabric + length.

You don't have to be a super tall, super skinny model to look fab in a duster coat. It works for ALL figure types.

Kim K is short + curvy at 5'3", and she looks AMAZING in the duster coat.

Want to COPY Kim's look?

It's great for the winter months, depending on the fabric weight, but the duster coat doesn't have to be ONLY outerwear. It looks lovely as a long blazer.

We found a bunch of duster coats here for CHEAP at BooHoo.com.

Does Your Eye Makeup Have a Shelf Life? When To Toss It Out

Has your eye makeup ever betrayed you, ladies?!

By that we mean, have you suddenly developed an irritation, infection or possibly a sudden allergy to your favorite mascara, eye liner, eye shadow or even concealer?

Well, we have occasionally, and at the moment, we can't tell which eye makeup product is the bad guy.

We LOVE drawing in a signature cat eye EVERY day.....the winged eyeliner look achieved with eye liner in pencil form.

We also use a grey or brown eye shadow powder, 2 mascaras and yes, an under eye liquid concealer.

Our irritation features itchiness + redness around the winged tip area where we draw in our cat eye. The rest of the eye area  is fine. 

Just a weird irritation.

We also TEST OUT a lot of various skin care products for our beauty blog, so, the culprit could be ANYTHING.

So...how often should we TOSS OUT our eye makeup to play safe?

We looked around and found this from Sephora,com:

Eyeliner and Eyeshadow

Toss-it time:  

Liquid eyeliners, 3 months

Cream eye shadows, 6 months 

Pencil eyeliners and powder eye shadows, 2 years

Do you follow these makeup standards?

We're going to start from there, and see if  that's causing the irritation.

Have you ever developed an eye makeup irritation, infection or sudden allergy?
