L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist
L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist is another product I had the luxury to test thanks to Total Beauty.
I must admit that I only tried only few self-tanners in my lifetime. I never really got into the all self-tanning ‘thing’. So needles to say I was a bit skeptical trying L’Oreal Paris Sublime Self-Tanning Mist.
I was very pleased and surprised with how great this product is. It was so easy to apply, you just spray it on your body at any direction and on any body part you wish to tan. It dries extremely fast and I mean in seconds. The drying speed was a major plus because I want to use a self tanner but I don’t always want to make a project out of it. I just spray, dry, and get dressed. Perfect! The color developed on me beautifully, not orange. Just a sun-kissed healthy looking skin. The scent could have been a bit lighter or even fragrance free. Once again, I’m a big ‘anti-scent’ or ‘fragrance-free’ person when it comes to skincare. L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self-Tanning Mist made me believe in self-tanners. All in all a great product for the money, only $9.99.
L’Oreal Skin Genesis Serum Concentrate & Oil-Free Lotion
I had the luxury to test out for a week, two skincare products from L’Oreal Paris, thanks to Total Beauty: Skin Genesis Serum Concentrate and Skin Genesis Oil-Free Lotion.
I would like to begin by saying that I loved both products and I now incorporate them into my daily skincare routine. This is why: L’Oreal Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Daily Treatment Serum Concentrate was packaged nicely in a silver sleek bottle, and dispensed the serum easily without any mess. The actual serum feels wonderful on the skin. When I put it on my skin it felt invigorated and soothed. The results versus the claims the package made matched when it comes to making my skin a bit smoother to touch and texture.
I can’t quantify how much my skin actually built strength and elasticity, and produced collagen, but I did feel my skin seemed more resilient and firm. Ladies, this concentrate is a great value for money. You don’t need to spend lots of cash or travel far to get a great serum like L’Oreal’s Skin Genesis Serum Concentrate (only $19.99). L’Oreal did a fabulous job in creating a product that uses the latest skincare technologies. This serum, however, is scented lightly. Although I would much prefer it was completely fragrance-free the scent didn’t bother my very sensitive nose too much. The scent is not too strong and overpowering, so I can live with it.
Marta Walsh Interviews Khloe Kardashian
I just did an interview with the beautiful Khloe Kardashian, the youngest of the three sisters (Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian being the other two), who co-owns DASH, a high-end women’s boutique, and SMOOCH, a children’s clothing store in Calabasas, California. Khloe is also known for her role on the show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”. Khloe shared with me some of her beauty secrets.

This is why I am excited to bring to you hot tips for summer hair by Pureology. Here it is:
Perform deep repair treatments twice a week to protect and repair sun-damaged hair.
Heading to the beach or pool? Don’t rinse out your conditioner. Leave conditioner in hair for maximum protection and extra moisturizing benefits.

Peter Thomas Roth’s Newest Launch
Peter Thomas Roth’s cult favorite Un-Wrinkle serum has expanded into a full range with the addition of a new product. Only this time, the anti-aging skincare benefits of Un-Wrinkle are available in makeup form with the Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder.
Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder by Peter Thomas Roth.
The new powder is lightweight, translucent and instantly improves the overall look of the skin while delivering anti-aging peptides and neuropeptides, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles. The powder blends seamlessly for a flawless, luminous finish, helping skin retain moisture while working to set makeup. The key anti-aging ingredient behind the product is SYN-AKE – a synthetic neuropeptide that mimics the wrinkle relaxing properties of snake venom from the Brazilian Viper.
Action comedy “Get Smart” staring: Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway.
The Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder compact will appear on the big screen on June 20th in a key scene of the new action comedy “Get Smart,” that sends secret agent Maxwell Smart and his lovely-but-lethal partner Agent 99 on a mission to thwart the latest plot for world domination. Agent 99 (played by Anne Hathaway) throws the compact and it smokes when it hits the ground to reveal the hidden lasers that Agent 99 and Maxwell Smart are trying to avoid so they don’t set off any alarms.
