Tända Zap!

Good afternoon!! I recently came across this product and bought it from (Sephora.com) and it REALLY helped dissolve my acne pimples and blemishes. It's call Tända Zap. Tända Zap is the triple threat for pimples: it uses powerful blue light (-414nm LED) to destroy acne-causing bacteria while soft vibration and warming help to open pores so bacteria is exposed to the zit-zapping light. The Tända Zap remains fully effective for 1,000 uses, 10-times more than any other zit zapper. What's great is it's safe for all skin types and tones, it causes no dryness or irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Also, it's clinically proven to clear or fade blemishes within 24 hours, I tested it and it did help bring down and clear everything but I would say 48-72 hours, not 24 hours. This product isn't as effective and powerful as you would see at a doctors office but it's pocket size and accessible. I wouldn't recommend it if your sensitive to light or your medication makes you sensitive to light! How I was recommended to use it was, I lightly pressed it on my blemish until the vibrations stopped which is around two minutes and I did this twice a day. You can do it up to three times a day! It retails for around $49.00! It's defiantly worth the price! Go buy it people so you look blemish free for the fourth of July!!!!

Gloss, Glaze, which is which?

With working at a salon, I've learned the difference between glosses and glazes, a huge misconception! A gloss is a bit more permanent than a glaze. It adds shine and adjusts the tone like if your highlights are too bright/brassy, a gloss will subdue them. A gloss penetrates the hair's cuticle, so it lasts two to four weeks. A glaze, on the other hand, simply coats the shaft with shine and semipermanent color; it's like putting a top coat of polish on your hair, and it lasts a week or two. 

If you want just shine, look for a "clear" gloss or glaze (like Frédéric Fekkai Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse, $28 at Ulta). If you're looking to boost your color or bump up your highlights, choose a gloss or glaze with "semipermanent" color (like John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze, $10 at Target).  I've used the Fekkai Salon Glaze and it was amazing but only lasted a couple weeks. I'm about to use the John Frieda Glaze once I get my blonde high lights back!

Tend Skin Liquid

Hello!!!! I've been a huge slacker lately! Back on the grind! Today's product is the Tend Skin Liquid. This is a clear liquid that is used against razor bumps, ingrown hairs and razor burn, for men and women. I've used it for my bikini area for a few months and it's reduced the irritating razor burn and bumps. All men and women get it in the worst and most embarrassing areas! So let's figure out what the difference is between bumps and ingrown hairs and let's get rid of it. Most reviews give Tend Skin 4.5 out of 5 stars! (Sephora.com). The prices range from $20.00 to $50.00, available at Sephora.com. 


Razor bumps are formed when the growing hairs exit the outer layer of the skin, curl over and burrow into the adjacent skin, resulting in a raised bump. 


Ingrown hairs form when hairs growing back after freshly shaving, waxing or other methods and fail to grow out the skin. The hair curls over inside the follicles under the skin then creates a bump. How I use it is I apply it to a cotton swab to the dry area at night and let it dry then go about my business. I also got my male friends hooked on it for their faces and chest! 


Ingredients: Isopropyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Acetylsalicylic Acid, Cyclomethicone, Glycerin, Diglycerin, Polysorbate 80.


Precautions: If you have serious aspirin allergies and are pregnant, do not use! Always try a test patch first! Don't not ingest. Product is flammable. Keep out of eyes. Don't use with exfoliants.


As seen in Lucky, July 2006 & 2004, Redbook, June 2005, Shape February 2005, Seventeen October 2004, Allure June 2004, Cosmopolitan May 2004 & many more magazines feature this product!


If you try it, you'll love it!! :) Thank you, Love XOKMNXO.

MAKE UP FOR EVER!

Good afternoon, I have been really slacking! I have received lots of positive feed back! Yay! My favorite makeup line overall is MAKE UP FOR EVER. It's an amazing line. You can purchase everything piece of makeup you need, whether it's foundation or liner, you'll be one hundred and fifty percent thrilled. The two products that are my favorites are the Loose Powder- HD: Microfinish powder. It's a universal translucent finishing powder to be applied over foundation. What is does is, it sets and slightly mattifies the skin without changing it's natural contours and skin color. Which is nice because your skin won't look "cake-y". It's one hundred percent mineral silica powder which it helps with shine on the skin and softens appearance imperfections.  It's universal for all skin tones and it keeps your shine with an all day radiant glow. I love it! Also, it's talc-free which does not dry the skin out and it's dermatologically tested, so it's safe!!! Since it's one hundred percent mineral free, you can layer and layer this on throughout the day without breaking out(acne).  My girlfriends die for this product and my clients at the salon! My second favorite product is the HC MicroPerfecting Primer. They come in six color-correcting shades and one transparent shade. All are lightweight, oil-free complexion correcting and enhance the skin's texture and primes/holds the makeup application. Both these products word AMAZING together! These primers deeply nourish, moisturizes and softens the skin with a glowing effect. This will also act as a protective layer on the skin and it allows the foundation to glide one easily and lasts longer. You will fall in love. These products remind me of smashbox and MAC but what makes MAKE UP FOR EVER different is it's mineral based. So it's 100% cleaner and has less chemicals in it.
You apply the finishing powder with a powder brush and apply the primer with fingertips.
