Family Planning expert and mom, Deborah Geigis Berry shows us how to have a treatful Halloween….Thanks Deb!
There are few things I love more than spending a few hours at my favorite LA day spa. I firmly believe that it’s every woman’s duty to give herself a well-deserved pampering at one of these fabulous places at least once a month. But, if you’re looking for a great do-it-yourself spa experience, I suggest trying Sebamed Spa Shower.
Sebamed lets you bring a little spa treatment to the privacy of your shower at home with a brand new product from this popular dermatologist-recommmended skincare brand.
You’ll start to feel yourself relax from the first time you open the bottle. Formulated with water lily extract, the clean and calming botanical scent even smells like a spa.
Aside from smelling great, Sebamed Spa Shower also maintains your skin’s natural moisture balance while you’re showering. Since it’s completely soap-free, your skin won’t be left feeling dry and tight as with some other products. It leaves your skin feeling hydrated and smooth all day long.
Give it a try and put a little “ahhhh” into your shower!
Supergoop Gradual Self-Tanning Sunscreen Mousse is an antioxidant-infused moisture rich whipped lotion for the body and it is a broad spectrum SPF 20. Working in a Dermatology office, I know the benefits of a “safe” tan. I know that burning rays and harmful tanning beds are one of the most leading causes of premature aging and self induced skin damage.
I always enjoy trying new self tanning products and I found myself pretty surprised with how much I loved Supergoop Gradual Self-Tanning Sunscreen Mousse SPF 20. It felt great going on and has a light cucumber scent. Supergoop Gradual Self-Tanning Sunscreen Mousse SPF 20 is really soft and has a velvety touch, with easy application. It is also free of parabens and oxybersone.
Supergoop Gradual Self-Tanning Sunscreen Mousse SPF 20 will make you feel really good about putting this on your largest organ, the skin. This product gives you an instant natural glow with no greasy feel. After only one week of application I have a healthy tan.

I was recently introduced to a unique line of makeup, Everyday Minerals. The great thing about Everyday Minerals is that their makeup is an all natural, vegan and eco-friendly makeup line. Everyday Minerals www.everydayminerals.com offers an irresistible selection of products, consisting of colors for cheeks, eyes, lips, as well as foundations, concealers and brushes.
Everyday Minerals offers custom kits that allows you to choose the look you want to achieve and they tell you the colors that would suit you the best. The website is fun, and after choosing my custom kit of a Lavender and Gray daytime look, I knew exactly what products were needed right down to the colors and brushes to use. I didn’t have to figure anything out and the pictures also were a great help.
Many of Everyday Minerals products, like the cheek and eye color are delivered in the form of loose powders, they are not pressed. I loved working with the loose powders and when applying the powders with the correct brushes, you will be amazed at how easy it is to achieve your special look. With one sweep of a brush you will have the perfect cheek color or eye color you are looking for. Everyday Minerals eye colors are also suitable for your eyebrow too. With a dab here and a dab there, you will have the perfect eye color and astonishing eye brows.
Everyday Minerals Makeup Brush Collection is amazing. The angled brow and liner brush allows you to apply your eye color with precision. My favorite is the Itahake Brush, shown below. Their brushes, especially the Itahake brush is so super soft and luxurious that you wont want to use any other makeup brush on your skin. All of the brushes are soft and silky, you must try them for yourself.
Orange flavored New Carmex Lip Conditioner has arrived to keep your lips soft, smooth, and hydrated!
I instantly “fell” for the New Carmex® Lip Conditioner! I love all of the Carmex® pampering and soothing products, but this little yellow tube with the easy to apply slanted tip really got my attention!
First, the orange flavor made from real oranges is terrific:-) I like the fact that it has a “matte” finish, hydrates my lips, and is not “waxy” feeling or “sticky”. I’ll wear it under and over my lip colors to keep my lips looking “healthy, moist, and smooth”!
I immediately purchased some tubes for my makeup case! Carmex® Lip Conditioner is PERFECT for men as well as women!
In fact, from a makeup artists perspective I’ve found that many of the male clients I’ve worked with on commercials or TV shows needed some hydration to keep their lips from getting a dry look especially when they were doing a lot of talking. I recently had to make up the commentator and panel for a televised political debate and was able to put Carmex Lip Conditioner to the test!
In the past, products I’ve used on men’s lips generally had to be applied and then blotted so their lips would not appear greasy or unnatural looking. The matte finish of the new Carmex® Lip Conditioner turned out to be a great choice for the men, especially with all of the talking and questions that were being exchanged throughout the program. Their lips maintained a nice healthy and never dry appearance.
Let’s face it, bottom line, men’s lips get chapped and dry just like women’s and Carmex® Lip Conditioner is a great solution!!
So Glam gals… when you get your Carmex® Lip Conditioner make sure to pick up some extras for the men in your life!! You sure can’t beat the suggested retail price of $1.99!
Look for new Carmex® Lip Conditioner at national food, drug and mass stores in the U.S.
The Carmex® website is very interesting and you’ll be able to find lots of information about the family owned Milwaukee-based Carma Laboratories that has manufactured Carmex® brand lip balm for 75 years.
This Is One Of My Faovrite Things!
The Bed Head Groupie 1 inch Mini Ceramic Deep Waver is one of my new favorite things! It’s a hair tool that creates loose waves and adds texture to my hair. I even went on line at http://www.bedheadstyling.com/groupie and it received a 5 star rating. I know there is a full size version but I like the mini size. It’s cute and I think that it does the same work as the full size waver. It heats up super fast and cools down quickly. Take a look at my before and after pictures and when you go to the www.BedHeadStyling.com site, go to the Virtual Style tab and see how you will look with different hairstyles!
Over the past years, there has been an increase in the demand for natural and organic deodorant products. I love that people are finally catching on to the countless benefits of natural deodorants, and it is about time! Geodeo Natural Deodorant Plus is a new natural deodorant line. This product removes the daily build-up of toxins and impurities in your body with a Detox Complex. I love how it glides on and is long lasting from morning to evening (24 hour odor protection). Geodeo’s odor fighting enzymes neutralize odors instead of covering them up with strong perfumes smells. This deodorant has bamboo and aloe to nourish and soften my skin instead of heavy cream that clog pores. It is important to me that this deodorant is invisible so it does not stain my clothes. Made in USA and the container is recyclable!!!!!! Geodeo is the next generation of freshness! Geodeo is available in several fabulous fresh scents. Find your favorite at http://www.mygeodeo.com/.

“The bigger the hair the smaller the hips”… just one of the many lessons Fran Drescher taught us in her show “The Nanny”. Ever since I have become a hairdresser, I noticed that big hair is the trend. Just like leggings and ballet slippers big hair is making it’s come back. I guess my mom was right, trends do repeat themselves.
One of the most frequently asked questions I get is “how can I make my hair bigger”? I know how hard it can be to make your hair bigger when it just doesn’t want to cooperate. That’s when you need to crank out Clairol Professional PRO4 PLEX Volumizing Mousse. With an extra strong hold to keep your style intact all day, PRO4PLEX mousse is also safe to use on color treated hair as well as not leaving your hair feeling sticky or greasy.
