Okay.....It's K-Beauty South Korean Style To the Rescue, Ladies

Looking for a flawless, clear, youthful forever complexion?

Well, who isn't?

For us, good skin is NOT a given. We've had to battle back from the sun damage, general aging and whatever else causes imperfect skin.

We have NEVER tried K-Beauty, but younger people seem to know plenty about it and are addicted to the awesome results.

Even the ultra-conservative WallStreetJournal took a good look at K-Beauty.

What is it?!

Here's a great WSJ description:

...."K-Beauty---the umbrella term for all South Korean imports in the skin care, makeup and bath-and-body categories—has been attracting fans in the U.S."

K-Beauty is all about the unusual + supposedly scientifically-advanced formulas,
including stuff like---- moisturizing starfish extract,  firming-and-tightening pig collagen + snail mucin.
Check out this K-Beauty shopping website with tons of complexion beautifiers ---PeachAndLily.

This MIZON SNAIL REPAIR INTENSIVE AMPOULE ($38) is SOLD OUT at the moment, because it's so popular, but they will re-stock soon.

The serum is designed to reduce the appearance of acne scarring, fine lines, and troubled skin..

The customer reviews rate the product highly.

Miss The Fringe? Bangs HOT For Fall/Winter 2016/2017

Bangs, fringe, whatever you want to call them, they are ALWAYS a beauty/fashion combo at some point during one of the seasons.

And with Fall on our doorstep, it's time to take the plunge or Big CUT, ladies.

We are tempted---we used to wear blunt bangs for years. Then we finally tired
of them and went just off center part.

Here's what's HOT---the runways showed bangs for Fall/Winter 2016/2017.

CHANEL

BALENCIAGA

Even glam momma Jessica Biel returned to her signature bang beauty with a recent CHOP-CHOP.

I would like to get some clip-on bangs for when I want to join the trendy bangs brigade, and not have to worry about the grow-out process.

How about you-----Are you about to get bangs or skip the look?

If You Wear Platinum Like Kylie, Then Use Olaplex In Between, Girl!

We happen to LIKE Kylie Jenner's brand new platinum locks. We think she wears it well.

However, we believe she looks OLDER than her 19 years. But, hey----who's counting?

We especially LOVE dark brows + blonde hair. Yes, it's usually a No-Go, but we think bold brows + platinum CAN work for some people.

Kylie debuted her new bad a** platinum shade just in time for NY Fashion Week. And her colorist is sharing details:

Priscilla Valles told PeopleStyle that they went silvery platinum and that Kylie's hair appeared to be in great condition to handle the super light locks.

Meantime, bleached hair needs lots of TLC, so CONDITONER is essential:

“I gave her Olaplex treatment that we’re going to be doing once a week just to keep it healthy. I mean from going the level that it went, it was super soft and healthy,” she says. “With styling it all the time it can dry it out, so we’re going to keep treating it.”

Want Longer More Beautiful Hair? Then Try Cutting Hair By The Moon!

Take a good look at this colorful LUNAR chart, because it might just be able to HELP you GROW LONGER, THICKER, STRONGER, HEALTHIER + MORE BEAUTIFUL HAIR by a SIMPLE calendar + time-line of the MOON'S cycle:

I know it sounds totally bizarre, but consider the Old Farmer's Almanac and how the popular, longtime publication ALWAYS prints up their Gardening by the Moon Calendar, because those dates are based on the phase + position of the Moon and indicate the best times to GROW crops, turn the sod, sow the grains, etc.

The SAME growth principle applies to HAIR, if we believe a legend in the business, Anthony Morrocco, who tended to the gorgeous heads of Jackie Onassis, Mia Farrow and many others back in the day.

He claims that you need to follow 5 hair goals. He explains the details here at his website, the MorroccoMethod.

Goals for Cutting Hair by the Moon-----

The 5 hair goals with corresponding dates to choose from:

Lengthen: Shocks and excites your hair growth patterns, causing your hair to grow two to three times faster than normal.

Thicken: Promotes the activation of new growth cycles in your bulb and hair follicles that thicken the follicle.

Strengthen: Enables roots, follicles, and bulbs to increase and strengthen your growth patterns, producing stronger and more resilient hair.

Root Work: Shocks the entire growth cycle, aiding your hair and scalp in all aspects of hair growth and scalp improvement, this should be a base in your cutting routine.

Beautify: Improves and evens the texture and sheen of hair as well as enhances and refines waves and/or curls.

We're blown away by this. Anyone else?

Soaking Up the Sun During Labor Day Weekend? Avoid Bikini Bumps

If you're enjoying the searing sun at the beach or lake as you soak up the last days of summer, make sure your bikini area is bump-free, if you know what we mean.

It's so easy to develop annoying little bumps + ingrown hairs when SHAVING or WAXING the most sensitive bikini area.

BUT....there is a great solution. Use the proper prepping ointment and avoid the common irritated bikini area.

Try this by Completely Bare, Bikini Bump Blaster Pads ($9.99 for a jar, at ULTA).

Just apply and swipe across the bikini  area AFTER you remove hair.

According to the Bikini Bump Blaster, it's formulated with key ingredients like Glycolic Acid + Salicylic Acid to help PREP the skin + clean the sebum. 

This effective solution comes in little disposable pads. Wipe the entire targeted area with a moist pad one to two times a day.

Bye-Bye bumps!

Like Angelina Jolie's Style? Copy Her Loafers for Fall

Angelina Jolie has always been applauded for her modern classic style on the red carpet.

But what about OFF the Hollywood scene?

The big star also nails it on the street, and VOGUE.com has taken notice of Angelina's footwear.

Take a look, as the gorgeous actress LOVES wearing  these when she's in and out of airports.

LOAFERS. Never go out of style + instant sophistication.

Plus, surprisingly NOT as expensive,  as we thought these shoes would be.

LESS than $200.  That's right......$170 (traditional $425 retail).

100% Italian leather from Brescia.

As described by the Everlane brand:

An elegant, architectural flat that feels as good as it looks. The hand-polished leather is half chrome-tanned and half vegetable-tanned leather, so it’s super soft but still structured.

Do you like Angelina Jolie's preppy flair?

I have a similar pair of classic black loafers but hardly wear them. No, mine are NOT the $170 pair.

Come fall, this is a great look to put on. I will have to reconsider.

Nice, comfy travel shoes.
