Introducing Our New Weekly Video Series: ‘Favorite Products’

26.7.12

We have recently branched out to film some tutorials and beauty related videos. In my first week of a new weekly segment, I discuss some of my current favorite products (makeup, skin and hair) by telling you why I love and how I use each of them.

This segment will be a weekly recurrence and each week I will discuss different products and why they made the list. This not only keeps you up to date on some new and well loved products, but gives us ‘fuel to the fire’ to find the latest and greatest products as well!

 

In this first video I discuss:

  • Foundation: Make Up For Ever Face and Body Foundation ($40 at Sephora.com)- why I have chosen it for summer.
  • Lip Color: Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in color NSFW ($14.50 at OCCmakeup.com)- some pros and cons to using the Lip Tars.
  • Hair Product: Redken Smooth Lock Stay Sleek Leave-in Cream ($16.50 from a Redken Salon. To locate a Redken Salon near you: Click here)-  how it has changed my weekly hair maintenance routine.
  • Nail Color: Bella Pierre Nail Color in Neon Orange ($15 at BellaPierre.com)- what about this neon orange is a fresh take on the neon trend.
  • Skincare: Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant ($37) & Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque ($43, both at Dermalogica.com)- how using these together have started to change my skin.

Start your Anti-Aging Regime NOW!

15.6.12

“New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can’t do..” like the song says, New York is where most people flock to make their dreams come true. Especially performers, and as a part of New York’s (struggling) actors community, its no surprise to me to run into beautiful women on a daily basis. Of course after I overcome my jealousy, I then hound them for their beauty secrets, naturally. However what has been the biggest surprise nowadays is after meeting these beauties I’m shocked to find out their real age! I go into shock because they appear 10, 15 even 20 years younger than what they say, where I’ve had to resort to driver’s licenses for proof! Yet, one thing remains the same amongst these women…they started their anti-aging routine early, at 25 and 26 years old! It got me thinking If I want to look as good as these women I better jump on the bandwagon to ward off aging now before its too late.

I immediately searched for a great skincare product to add to beauty regime, as all the women I’ve met have had youthful, tight,vibrant skin. Now, my favorite new addition to my morning routine has been Complexion MD’s Anti-Wrinkle Cream. It comes in an easy to travel pot (handy when i’m running late) with more than enough product to last you months. You only need a small amount for your whole face. I love starting my morning with this cream, applying all over, especially concentrating under my eyes. I’ve found it keeps my cheeks feeling extra silky smooth and as an added bonus, works great at taming my eyebrows in place. Although, the best benefits lies in the creams ability to repair damaged skin reducing fine lines and wrinkles. After using it for about 1 week, I’d gotten compliments on my skin saying, “did you have work done, you look really different, but gorgeous!” I was surprised that it made so much of a difference, yet lately as I’ve been forgetting to apply I notice a decrease in my skin’s vibrancy without it! Must get back on track, I love it as a moisturizer each day it keeps my face quenched for hours. Thanks to Wrinkle Review (http://www.wrinklereview.com/) for giving me a free trial, I am ecstatic that I now have in the works the beginning of my anti-aging regime and recommend to anyone to start theirs early.

What products do you use to ward off the signs of aging?

GIVEAWAY: Change Your Skin with The PMD Personal Microderm and Enter for a Chance to Win One!

04.6.12

Exfoliation is so essential for healthy skin and I have recently discovered a microdermabrasion system that has changed my skin. I have always had combination skin that was very dry in some spots and very oily, with pimples, in others. Trying to find products that would perform well with my skin type has always been an issue.

I started using the PMD about a month ago and what a difference it has made. My dry spots are completely gone and my oily spots have become less oily and my skin texture is incredible.

The PMD system is easy to use and comes with an instructional DVD to ensure you are using the system properly. You will learn all the steps necessary to get the level of exfoliation appropriate for your skin. I have worked my way up to the strongest disc and use it once every 6 days with fantastic results. It has been featured on Good Morning America, Dr. Oz, The Doctors, and Extra!

Since starting the PMD system, my makeup goes on smoother, I use less of it, and it seems to me that my skincare products are working better as well. I have been getting compliments like “Your skin is beautiful!” and “You look refreshed” which is a very new experience for me. I am sure my skin is looking and feeling so great because I am now getting all the dead skin off and my skincare products (an article to come on my Dermalogica skincare routine) are able to work their magic on fresh, healthy skin.

The system is recommended for those with fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne, skin discolorations, and other imperfections who want smooth, even-toned skin (source: www.personalmicroderm.com). My skin has completely transformed since starting my PMD routine and I am confident yours will too.

The PMD Personal Microderm System is available at www.personalmicroderm.com for $179.99.

A lucky A Beauty Loft reader will have a chance to win their very own PMD Personal Microderm System! To enter this contest, simply leave a comment below about what you would like to see us write about or review and like the PMD Facebook Page! Follow directions on the form below to enter the contest.

April is Rosacea Awareness Month: Atopalm Showcases Their Rosacea Treatment

27.4.12

April is Rosacea Awareness Month and we have a fantastic Rosacea skincare collection for you. Did you know that over 16 million Americans suffer from Rosacea and over 75% of Americans have no idea what it is? 76 %of rosacea patients said their condition had lowered their self-confidence and self-esteem and 41% reported that it had caused them to avoid public contact or cancel social engagements (source: www.rosacea.org). There is no cure for Rosacea, but there are some powerful products on the market that can do wonders to control the symptoms. Products like Atopalm have been shown to reduce redness, soothe skin and have helped many cope with the disorder.

Atopalm is a groundbreaking skincare collection formulated for dry, sensitive skin. The rich, emollient, yet non-greasy Atopalm formulas are designed for skin suffering from allergies, rosacea dryness and sensitivity in need of gentle yet powerful treatment. Each paraben-free Atopalm product is powered by Dermatologist and Ophthalmologist tested MLE-Multi Lamellar Emulsion formulas—plant derived ingredients that mimic skin’s natural structure and restore skin’s protective moisture barrier system. This unique complex hydrates, soothes and calms skin in distress, leaving dry, sensitive skin visibly renewed.

Atopalm products include:

  • Intensive Moisturizing Cream ($30): This rich, hydrating formula for dry, sensitive skin nourishes skin with a unique vitamin, antioxidant blend, for a healthy, vibrant complexion. The gentle yet effective cream calms the symptoms of eczema and rosacea, as well as skin recovering from facial treatments such as microdermabrasion.

 

  • Moisturizing Body Lotion ($30): A lightweight, quickly absorbed, formula for dry, sensitive and eczema-prone skin, this ultra-nourishing blend features olive and grape seed oils blended with Vitamin E. The fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula leaves skin glowing, energized and visibly hydrated.

 

  • Daytime Undermakeup Moisture Cream ($18): This restorative, moisturizing cream provides a smooth foundation for even, long-lasting makeup application. Infused with nourishing Vitamin E and antioxidants, the gentle yet hydrating cream supports beautiful, healthy skin.

 

  • Facial Cleansing Foam ($18): A rich, moisturizing cleanser that’s gentle enough for everyday use, this foaming formula melts away makeup and pollutants without stripping skin. Dirt and makeup disappear and moisture levels are replenished, leaving skin feeling soft, clean and supple.

 

  • Moisturizing Eye Repair Serum ($35): An anti-aging, restorative eye serum that protects the sensitive eye area as well as diminishes the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Made with a dynamic peptide complex combined with vitamin C, the gentle yet effective serum fights free radicals and prevents the signs of premature aging.

 

  • Moisturizing Skin Revitalizing Complex ($35): This powerful yet gentle rejuvenating formula helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, roughness, wrinkles and laugh lines and helps brighten skin with a unique peptide complex infused with Vitamin C and licorice root.

 

  • Moisturizing Hand Treatment ($18): A moisturizing emulsion that promotes younger, brighter-looking skin with a hydrating antioxidant blend, this nourishing hand treatment delivers lasting protection.
Stay tuned because we are doing before/after of this routine! We are so excited to see Atopalm work its magic!  All products can be purchased at www.atopalm.com.
