Product Preview: Salon Glaze »

Like most self-respecting makeup junkies, I love samples! They’re a way to try out a new or trendy product without plunking down a ton of dough. I have a sample of Frederic Fekkai’s new Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse and can’t wait to use it.

According to Sephora, this product, “is a clear shine rinse inspired by professional salon glazing services. The rinse-off treatment binds shine, recharges color, and adds silkiness to the hair. This non-chemical formula contains a unique blend of conditioning and lightweight silicones that coat the cuticle to shine and condition the hair shaft. With its lightweight formula, Salon Glaze won’t weigh your hair down like traditional shine serums. It works on all hair colors and types, and both non-colored and color-treated hair.” A full sized bottle costs $28.00.

As soon as I try it out, I’ll give you a full report and tell you if it’s worthy the investment or if you should just save your money. I have high hopes!

Product Review: Max Factor ColorGenius Blush »

Reviewer: Cinnamon Kitten

Brand: Max Factor
Name: ColorGenius Blush
Size: 0.42 oz / 12 g
Price: approx. $13.00 USD

Shade Tried: Spices

Lightweight pigments help recreate the complex look of beautifully flushed skin. This product also claims to:
- have a shine control formula
- be fragrance free
- be 100% oil free

This blush promies to be expertly coordinated to wotk with your own skin tone.

To Purr About:
- mineral blush is very lightweight
- because there are 3 shades in one compact, it makes it easy to even out the skin tone and to blend this product into a nice “glow”

Claws Out:
- there’s no brush included in this compact, so you definitely need your own brush, which is fine, except it isn’t very convenient for on-the-go touch ups

Final Comments:
I really like this blush - it’s light, easy to blend, and the 3 nice shades make it easy to go light or dark and dramatic. The only thing I would want is a brush to go along with the compact - I know it wouldn’t be as good as a real mineral brush, but it would be convenient.

Rating (out of 5):

Aloe Vera and Its Natural Skin Care and Health Benefits »

Aloe vera plants, particularly aloe barbadensis miller plants, have been used for centuries to help burns, cuts, and other skin ailments. Perhaps your grandparents always had one of these unique, cactus-like plants nearby, just in case of an emergency. If someone got a cut or burn, they would break an aloe leaf apart to extract gel from inside the leaf. The aloe gel inside the leaf is used as a natural healing salve.

With the onset of commercialism and the recent boom in all-natural products, aloe has become the ingredient of choice in many skin care and health products. Commercial aloe products include everything from creams to lotions to nutritional supplements in pill or drink form. The products often combine aloe gel with other ingredients to enhance the gel’s natural healing components. For example, an aloe-based Hawaiian product, called AhVahleen, combines aloe with some natural extracts taken from organic honey and a Hawaiian Kalo herbal plant.

Natural Aloe-Based Solutions for Skin Care and Health

Aloe gel, especially when combined with other natural ingredients, can greatly enhance the skin and its ability to replenish skin cells. As skin cells die, new skin cells must replace the old to promote healthy skin. This also slows the aging process and helps keep the skin moist and beautiful. Aloe creams and gels on the market can help enhance this process. There are also creams and gels to help with itching, burns, cuts, psoriasis, shingles, and other skin conditions.

Aloe vera gel is also known to have antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, which allow skin ailments to heal while reducing risk of infection. Some aloe-based products are said to help soothe and dry up chicken pox as well. Aloe gel can work as a natural anesthesia to reduce or alleviate pain caused by burns, cuts, and skin rashes. For severe sunburn and/or sun poison, aloe vera gel can cool the burning skin and speed up the healing process.

How to Buy Natural Aloe Products

Besides growing your own aloe vera plants, the next best thing is to buy natural aloe-based products. But before buying, be sure the products are all natural with few or no added ingredients that could decrease the aloe’s beneficial properties. Read the ingredients on each product and learn why the ingredients were added. You’ll find some products, such as AhVahleen, to have added natural ingredients to enhance the product’s skin care and health properties. These products often provide more benefits than even the actual aloe plant alone.

Shop online to find aloe-based products that are unique to your skin care and health needs. If you have psoriasis, for instance, look for creams, gels, or lotions to soothe this condition in particular. If you work in the sun or are outdoors a great deal, look for aloe products that can protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. If you have multiple needs for aloe, find a natural aloe product that offers many benefits in one. Start enjoying natural skin care and health today with the wonderful natural solution of aloe vera!
