Zoya: the healthy way to happy hands!
Monday, May 7th, 2012Strengthen and lengthen your lashes!
Monday, March 12th, 2012
Foltène are well known for their hair care products, and have been leading the way in preventing hair loss and improving hair growth for many years. They have recently taken this knowledge, applied it to the lashes, and introduced Foltène Pharma Eyelash and Eyebrow Treatment to the market.
Similarly to the hair on your head, eyelash growth can be negatively affected by the environment, poor diet and stress. Additionally, the application of makeup and treatments like tinting and curling (with chemicals and heated devices) can contribute to the depletion of keratin (the protein responsible for good hair health), resulting in lashes that are dull, weak, short and sparse.

Prime time!

The main purpose of a primer is to prepare the face for foundation.
In my opinion, Lancôme La Base Pro is the best primer for normal to oily complexions. It improves the texture of the skin by creating a smooth canvas and eliminating shine, which prolongs makeup wear time.
Lancôme La Base Pro is an oil-free, clear-colored, gel-like formula that glides onto the skin easily. Because it’s silicone-based it feels soft and silky to the touch, and a little goes a long way. It’s unscented, lightweight, dries fast without leaving a residue, and won’t clog pores.
I use it on models whose complexions have a tendency to develop shine quite quickly, and those with large pores or other imperfections. It mattes down the face, keeping breakthrough oil at bay, and minimizes the appearance of large pores, fine lines, and other lumps and bumps on the skin’s surface. Post application, foundation goes on more evenly, stays in place, lasts longer, and its color remains true.
Lancôme La Base Pro should be applied to clean, moisturized skin with a brush or fingertips. It can be used all over the face or to spot-treat problem areas (e.g. the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin)). For best results, wait a few moments after application for the product to fully absorb before following up with foundation. Then go ahead and apply your favorite look.

Best chapstick: Dior does it again!
Sunday, January 8th, 2012
The world’s best chapstick is . . . drumroll, please . . . Dior Addict Lip Glow!
If you’re wanting the “your lips, just better” effect, you can count on Dior Addict Lip Glow.
This dreamy-fragranced, creamy-textured balm glides on effortlessly, delivering softening, smoothing and hydrating benefits to the lips, and at the same time deposits a subtle hint of luminous color.
It leaves the mouth plumped-up and shiny, and, like magic, looks different on everyone. How, you ask? Well, even though the balm goes on clear, due to its customizable color technology it works with an individual’s own unique chemistry to create a perfectly personalized shade. How’s that!
Simply apply one coat to naturally enhance your lip color, or layer it for a more obvious pop of pink. It’s gorgeous, both on its own or under lipstick.
The formulation contains SPF 10, and the pretty package is so portable that the product can be slicked on easily without a mirror.
Go on, treat yourself! Every girl deserves a little stick of luxury.
