Complextion Perfection! Origins Perfect World SPF 25

By TheGlamtastic · May 10, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
A Perfect World™ SPF 25 $38 - Origins

Freckles - check. Redness - check. Sensativity - check.


My skin can always use a little complextion pick me-up, especially with all of the harmful effects of pollutants, environmental and sun damage (even at 27)!

 

I refuse to start seeing wrinkles at 27! That is just not happening. To prevent the premature signs of aging, I'm required to bathe in anti-aging creams, reapply SPF every hour or two, stay under a wide brim hat and away from raw sunlight whenever possible.

 

Now, Origins is trying to help women fight back against the early signs of aging with the new Origins A Perfect World SPF 25 Age-Defense Moisturizer. This healing moisturizer utilizes white tea, to help us protect our skin from enviremental stressors such as UVA/UVB rays and pollution,toxins, as well as the early signs of aging.


OMG, did I just see a wrinkle?

 

Dying to try this new Origins A Perfect World SPF 25 moisturizer and report back? This lightweight spring moisturizer is available in April 2010 at Origins locations nationwide and of course at  origins.com.

 

What's your latest beauty find??? Tell us about it!

Just Can't Live Without...Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Souffle

By TheGlamtastic · March 2, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
I love the snow when I'm snuggled up in my sweats watching re-runs of The Real Housewives of Orange County, but when I'm hiking through hills of snow and trying to avoid patches of ice on my way to work, I don't love it so much! In fact, when I step my stiletto into a big puddle of melting brown snow - I HATE the snow.

With mountains of snow and no sunlight to be seen, the days sure can seem gloomy. While my office is decked with fabulous florescent lighting that reminds me of the light over the dentist chair, it still feels a bit BLAH my early March.

At this time of year I need a pick me up! To cheer up my body and deeply hydrate dry, itchy and flaky skin, I've become a big fan of Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Souffle. This ultra-light body hydrator feels like you're scooping up Cool Whip with your fingers and applying it to the skin.

It quickly absorbs into thirsty skin after a steamy shower or bath. It has the fresh, happy and clean scent of grapefruit that I've started to love! It's a unisex scent that if my husband used body lotion, he may even love.

It sounds cheesy but the ultra-clean white and vibrant yellow packaging even gives off happy vibes. Silly sounding I know, especially from someone who works in beauty and fashion PR full time, but light post-shower pampering products can make the day that much brighter!

As winter trudges along, I just can't live without Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Souffle!

Are you a grapefruit girl or is there another body souffle you prefer? What moisturizer MUST we try? Tell us about it!!!

Win the Battle Against Your First Wrinkle: Clarins Multi-Active Day Wrinkle Correction Cream

By TheGlamtastic · September 9, 2009 · 1 Comment ·
Clarins Multi-Active Day Early Wrinkle Correction Cream 1.7 oz. $54 - Saks Fifth Avenue
Today is the day I fight back againt my very first wrinkle! This is war and I'm armed with some of the best beauty tips in the biz to keep my skin healthy and wrinkle-free. 

Skin Care Tip #1: Always use a white wash cloth when cleansing your face so that you can see that all of the makeup, dirt, oil & residue from your day has been removed.

After a serous cleansing, go for an active moisturizer that nourishes while working to shield your skin from the elements (a.k.a. environmental pollutants, free radicals, sun damage...the list goes on).

Skin Care Tip #2: Scoop a small amount of product and warm it in the hands, before applying it to the skin. 

Skin Care Tip #3: Never pull or tug at the skin when applying product. Gently cup the hands and lightly press them against the skin. 

This Fall, defend your skin against the first signs of wrinkles, crow's feet, marionettes lines, you know what I'm talking about...

Arm your skin with Clarins Multi-Active Day. This luxuriously rich cream helps to keep skin tight and toned with the power of Ambiaty, a healing plant from Madagascar which works to reduce the appearance of early wrinkles, Hesperidin (extracted from the orange peel) that works to protect the skin from free radical damage. Light-reflecting pigments keep skin looking young, refreshed and radiant! This day cream melts into the skin and leaves the surface layer smooth and hydrated. Love that!

You only need about a dime size amount of product to hydrate the entire face. I have a feeling just one bottle could last me quite a while...

What's your go-to daytime moisturizer?

* Please note: All skin care tips included in this post came from Clarins skin care experts, dispensed at a recent Clarins education session.
