Getting ready for Fitness America!!!


If you're getting ready for the Fitness America Pageant like I am, then you're probably super busy taking care of last minute details. Well, in the midst of all the craziness, the last thing we want to think about is dry skin. However, this is the most important time to start thinking about it. Pretty soon we will be tanning and applying tanning products and we want to have the best base possible.

We are 4 weeks out, so exfoliation is crucial at this point.
Exfoliate 2-3 times a week after skin is cleansed with a salt based exfoliator, not sugar. Sugar tends to have pore clogging oils, so stick with a salt base. A good exfoliator is the Clinique 7 day scrub, any of the Oil of Olay or Aveeno scrubs, they're gentle and not abrasive. Follow up with a good moisturizer. Your skin should feel heavenly in no time, and ready for the Big Show!

Product of the Month!


Oil if Olay Active Hydration Body Lotion with green tea and vitamin complex is my beauty product of the month. Prior to finding this little piece of heaven, I had been using an expensive $40 body lotion only available from tanning salons. I don't remember the name of it, but I loved it and it kept my skin soft and smooth all day long. Well I haven't really felt the need lately to fork over $40 for lotion, which led me on a mission to find a cheaper replacement. Olay's Active Hydration called me from the shelf. I tested it, loved it and realized I had finally found a lotion similar to what I had grown to love without the hefty price tag... Try it for yourself, and if you're not completely satisfied, well then return it for a full refund. ***Oh, I have to mention that it leaves a light glittery sheen on your skin. (picture different from product mentioned).

Shopaholic found dead underneath piles of clothes!


A 77 year old woman was found dead in her home, in England, in an unusual circumstance. When friends hadn't heard from their friend in awhile, they went to her house to make contact. To their surprise the door was open and inside a grisly discovery. Joanne Cunnane was found dead of natural causes under piles of clothes and purchases from years of shopping. Investigators discovered that Joanne was an elderly shopaholic with nothing to do during the day, but shop. The neighborhood kids bothered her, and shopping made her feel good. So she would leave in the morning and return at night as if she were working a full time job. In fact, she had spent those hours shopping, everyday! Investigators said her house was completely packed from floor to ceiling with clothes and purchases.
Wow, I thought I was bad!!!

A word to all women...please do something more valuable with your time! This is tragic, and shopping fills an emotional void for the moment, but does not provide lasting fulfillment like most people believe. The long lasting fulfillment comes from within! So work on yourself and not your credit card.

Madonna and steroids gone bad! ewwww

Ok ladies this is why you should never work out your arms more than 3 times a day! Unless you want to look like Madonna and give off the impression that you shoot up, please do not...It's like the roids puffed her up and now she's deflating! Not to mention it looks painful! If you ever want to guess her age, just chop off her arm and count the rings. No, but seriously...It's ok, don't worry...she'll get an arm tuck and everything will be back "material style."

Relationships can make you fat and miserable...if you do this!!!


This is one thing that really irks me. When a woman gives up her life to be in a relationship, ie., not working out anymore and eating like there's no tomorrow! Yes, Jessica Simpson is the culprit...Here she's seen after a workout following the newly publicized break up with Dallas Cowboys Quarterback, Tony Romo. Women, men date you because you're interesting, exciting and you have a life...when you give that up to accommodate them...you become boring and predictable. Don't do this to yourself or your body, you'll thank yourself later (especially when you don't have to drop 30lbs, to be in the same place you were to begin with)!!!! Spare the skin ladies, and your heart:)

Beauty Trend: Red Lips


Lipstick dates back 5000 years to ancient Mesopotamia when crushed semi-precious jewels were applied to the lips to achieve shades ranging from bright red to deep purple. While this seasons hottest color, ruby red, could be created the old-fashioned way. However, I suggest you stick with lipstick in a tube, and better yet to get a flawless application, apply it with a lip brush.

Beauty tip of the day!

Want to look like you've slept 8 hours when, in fact, you've only slept 4 hours? Not that Megan Fox needs any more help looking beautiful; she does however, use a shimmery golden beige shadow in the corner of her eyes to make them look "awake" and to camouflage any darkness in the area. It works, trust me! I had to do it this morning!

WTF was she thinking!!!

This has to be the worst thing Kim K has ever done! Even worse than her porn tape she made with former bf (whatever his name is) that was made public a few years back. What was she thinking?!? Ladies please, if you're going to spend a whole day in the hot Mexican Sun, or even step outside for a few minutes, please wear sunscreen, put on a hat, sit under an umbrella, cover your face with a towel, or just stay inside!!! Not only because you can get skin cancer and die, but wrinkles aren't friends you want to be too close to.

5 steps to Beautiful Hair!!!


1. Don't Over-Wash Your Hair... If you want to make a change in that rat's nest of yours(JK) you have to start at the root of the problem. So, do not wash your hair every day; wash it every other day or every two to three days. Now your probably thinking "gross" I work out, run, do yoga, sweat, so my hair has to be washed everyday." Here's the solution to that, rinse your hair while your taking a shower, but don't use shampoo. Add a little bit of conditioner to the ends, dry and style as usual. Soon you'll have a full head of beautiful, healthy, shiny hair.

2. Leave-Ins... Leave-in conditioners are a great way to give your hair a break from shampoo, it will dry out less and won't require much conditioner. Massage into your hair on the NO shampoo days. It will give you just the right amount of moisture it needs to stay soft and adds a bit of texture and hold too.

3. Stock up on Dry Shampoo... My favorite hair product!!! This is a permament staple in hair routine because it has so many uses. You can dust it on to absorb excess oil when you've gone too long between washes, or you can use to give fine hair added oomph-just apply it to your roots and brush through.

4. Accessorize with Caution... Steer clear of elastic bands with metal closures, they'll literally rip your hair out. Instead use cloth-only ponytail holders to create "cruelty free" tails and updos.

5. Layer Styling Products... When working with a new styler-anything from mousse to pomade-take baby steps. Remember, you can always add product, but removing it is not so easy, not to mention you can end up looking like a greaser from the "Outsiders."
Another smart move: Apply stylers to the back of your head first. That way if you do use too much, you won't have a "Something About Mary" moment. And when it comes to hair spray, flexible hold is always the best. You never want helmet head, unless it's for a special occasion hair-do or up-do. Happy Forever Hair Days!!!!

Fitness NM update!!!


The Fitness New Mexico Competition was so much fun, and I learned a lot about the sport. Dieting and training for a competition is much more complex and harder than I thought, but the journey was well worth it. I placed 2nd in both of my divisions; Model NM and Ms. Bikini NM. My next goal will be Fitness America in Vegas this November, but I'll probably do other competitions to get more experience. (Me in purple on the left with the Prep camp girls):)

I have three more days of fine tuning and may go down a few more pounds. It's been an interesting and tough adventure thus far, but I'm glad I did it!!! I'll keep you posted on the event and let you know how it goes...:)

Hydroxycut Recall!


I know this story is somewhat old, but I felt the need to feature it on my blog. As some of you know I will be in a fitness competition at the end of this month. Although I have used Hydroxycut in the past, I don't use it anymore. A lot of trainers and nutritionists I've spoke to do not endorse the use or need for energy pills or fat burners. For this reason, now I understand. This is what I found out...

One of the most popular dietary supplement brands used for weight loss, Hydroxycut, has had products linked to liver damage, and as a result, a recall is in full swing.

The Food and Drug Administration has reported 23 instances of serious liver injury that have been linked to the Hydroxycut line. In addition to use for weight loss, the Hydroxycut brand products are often used to boost energy. The FDA reports that last year, there were more than 9 million units of Hydroxycut products sold.

"The FDA urges consumers to discontinue use of Hydroxycut products in order to avoid any undue risks. Adverse events are rare, but exist. Consumers should consult a physician or other health care professional if they experience symptoms possibly associated with these products," said Dr. Linda Katz, interim chief medical officer of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

The following items are being voluntarily recalled by Health Sciences Inc. of Oakville, Ontario, and Health Sciences USA Inc. of Blasdell, New York:

  • Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets
  • Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Rapid Release Caplets
  • Hydroxycut Hardcore Liquid Caplets
  • Hydroxycut Max Liquid Caplets
  • Hydroxycut Regular Drink Packets
  • Hydroxycut Caffeine-Free Drink Packets
  • Hydroxycut Hardcore Drink Packets (Ignition Stix)
  • Hydroxycut Max Drink Packets
  • Hydroxycut Liquid Shots
  • Hydroxycut Hardcore RTDs (Ready-to-Drink)
  • Hydroxycut Max Aqua Shed, Hydroxycut 24
  • Hydroxycut Carb Control
  • Hydroxycut Natural

I'm sure there's more of this to come with other supplements geared towards fat burning and super energizing.

Miss California to be Dethroned?


Things are not looking good for Carrie Prejean. The current Miss California may soon be losing her crown! Her contract with the Miss USA pageant prohibits her from being photographed “in a state of partial or total nudity.” A few years ago, the former Miss Nevada was stripped of her crown after provocative pictures of her with other girls surfaced. According to Perez Hilton, who's been covering this story extensively, "there are other - much more naked - photos of Prejean said to be hitting the Internets very soon, and pageant insiders exclusively tell us that the Miss California and Miss USA organizers are currently debating whether or not to dethrone Carrie.

Stay tuned!

They also have a wide array of other products including, but not limited to shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and lip balms.

Stunning Brunette Actress Goes Blonde! (not very flattering even for her)

Maybe it's the glasses, but Jessica Alba looks like crap! What is she thinking?! Her beautiful hair is covered by all that strawberry ash!!! Not very many women can make a successful transition from Brunette to Blonde, and Jessica is no exception. This actually reminds me of something pretty funny that happened to me recently. My computer tech guy came in the other day to fix my computer and I told him I had a beauty blog. He said, "Wow awesome! You know what you should blog about?" I'm thinking ok, what could he possible know about beauty!!! Getting a little scared here... I said, "what?" He said, "tell Brunette women to stop going Blonde." Obviously I didn't know what to say, because I had recently lightened my Brunette hair, not to full on Blonde, but I have a few highlights.
I think I was more embarassed than anything and wasn't sure if he even noticed or if he was just giving me a subtle hint! jk He didn't notice; way too clueless! Even so, it made me think, "well if the color is right why not.?!" If you don't look like ASH, like poor Jessie here, I think it's ok. LOL What do you think ladies?

Woman gets burned from dyeing hair!!!


Imagine this happening to you?! Ladies this is why it is so important to do a skin test before dyeing your hair at home. Susan Taylor, a 55-year old British woman suffered extensive burning and scabbing after using a popular at home hair-dye kit.
She was hospitalized and given antihistamines and steroids before the symptoms began to subdue more than a week later.
Taylor, has been dyeing her hair since she was 17, and even used this product, Garnier Nutrisse Kit, before, but has never had anything like this happen to her before.
A spokesman for L'Oréal, the company that owns Garnier, said, "We were very sorry to hear of Mrs. Taylor's recent experience ... Mrs. Taylor's experience shows how important it is to carry out a skin allergy test 48 hours before using the colorant each and every time." How sad!!!!

~Diet Update~

So I feel a little better today, not so hungry but sore! I'm 1/2 a pound less than I was yesterday which brings me less than a pound closer to my goal weight. I can't imagine next month when I get rid of the water weight how much my weight will drastically go down. *Women carry anywhere between 5-10lbs of water weight. However, I know what I've lost is not water weight considering I drink at least a gallon a day. My next feat after I get to my goal weight, is losing body fat! That's the hardest thing to do. I'm slowly working on it, but muscle tone takes time to build, and hopefully soon I'll be in the range of 12-15% body fat. I'm a little more than that now, although I'm getting tested tonight to be sure....scary! My motivator today was the fact I could see my ab muscles poking through...uh oh...I must be doing something right. Honestly I haven't seen them since I was 24. Wasn't even sure they still exsisted..lol. I got a great tip from Karen today, one of my blog readers. She suggested 100% Whole Grain Pretzels from Unique Pretzel Bakery to stave off hunger, and get this they digest as a vegetable...interesting! Thanks Karen...I'll look into that! If you have anymore diet tips that have worked for you, please send them my way!!!

Diets suck! But they're essential~

Ok, so I've been on a diet and fitness program of my own going on 10 days now! Good news is I've lost 5lbs, the bad thing is that I'm dying! I never realized how crappy I ate, until I started eating well. Yesterday I felt good; I had an abundance of energy and today...I've hit rock bottom! I'm eating about 6-7 times a day, and I've gotten to the point where I don't want to eat anymore, but I'm making myself. My motivation is my family and the way my body is looking in the mirror; oh and not to mention Vegas next month and a few competitions I'll be participating in. More on that later! Hopefully my determination will see me through this week!

The Best Concealers


No one likes looking tired, worn out, or like they're carrying a set of baggage under their eyes. But sometimes, in trying to conceal dark undereye circles, people end up drawing more attention to the problem by using too much of a good thing.
When it comes to choosing a concealer, it's important to determine what the primary use of the concealer is. For instance, under the eye, where the skin is thin and soft, using a bulky, dry, heavy concealer is going to magnifiy the problem. Since no one wants to spend hundreds of dollars trying out the latest and greatest makeup products, I've done the work for you. The following concealers are products on which I have come to rely to make my dark under eye circles disappear.


Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer- One of the best concealers I have ever worked with is the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer. The lightweight texture is perfect for use under the eyes, and when applied with a concealer brush, the application is beautifully flawless. This is one of the best concealers for everyday wear, and also perfect for special occasions, such as weddings, where you want porcelain coverage without anyone knowing your secret.
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat - This concealer is my reliable go-to. It's a light to medium coverage that instantly lightens the area. For the quick touch up, this is the way to go!
Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer - Smashbox is an industry leader when it comes to making products with exceptional wearability. The Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealor is a little thicker than some products, but for people who have exceptionally dark circles, or oily skin, this product works wonders. I highly recommend using a moisturizer or primer underneath this product. Use a brush to apply thin layers instead of one thick layer for the best coverage.
Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Undereye Concealer- There is no denying why this concealer made the list. One of the most popular department store brands of concealers, Lancome has made an exceptional product. As the name informs us, this is waterproof, making the concealer ideal for those who have allergies or wear contacts. The lightweight formula feels a little watery at first, but dries to an exceptional finish that lasts and lasts.
Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer- This is one of the few if the only concealer that conceals without the thickness or drying effect. This is my fav!

Beauty and Juvederm!


Juvéderm is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Your healthcare professional eases Juvéderm injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds—the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). E news reported recently that you can use Juvederm in lieu of a costly cosmetic procedure. For example, if you wanted fuller cheeks or your nose to be reshaped. Juvederm can do all these things, and the best part is the results last for at least a year! If you've had Botox, Restalyne, or Juvederm tell us about it! What was your experience? Were the results worth the cost? As always you can choose to remain anonymous....:) For more amazing before and after photos, visit www.juvederm.com

How do you preserve a blowout? Pretty easy! Here's what to do. Put your hair in a bun before you go to bed; the next morning it should be *voluminous. Then, spray the roots with dry shampoo, and give it a shot of hot air with the blowdryer. If it still needs a pick me up, set it in velcro rollers and blast it with more hot air, follwed by cold air. Voila! Your ready to go, in no time.

Get Carrie Underwood's ACM Makeup!


Carrie Underwood arrived at the 44th annual Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards with her makeup done with a classic, subdued glamour.
She chose the eyes to emphasize, and what a smart girl she is, because they look absolutely gorgeous.

To recreate Carrie Underwood's makeup from the ACM awards, start with a soft and subtle, but slightly shimmery eye shadow. Smash Box Eyeshadow in Champagne, works well for almost all skin tones, and should be swept from the lash line up to the brow bone.
To make the eyes pop more than any other feature, use a black eyeliner pencil on both the upper and lower innner rim of the eye. This works anytime you want your eyes to look sharp, colorful and focused.
Along the top lash line, use a black or dark grey liquid eyeliner to create a look that starts out thicker on the outside, disappearing into a thin line on the innner corner of the eye. An angle brush makes this sort of liquid eyeliner application a million times easier. Finish the eyes with two or three thin coats of your favorite mascara, and, add a pair of false eyelashes, just like Carrie Underwood is wearing.
To create the appearance of flawless skin, apply your cream or liquid foundation. Powder foundations are fine, too, but will not provide the same natural finish seen in Carrie Underwood's makeup.
Dust a soft spring color, such as Lorac's Pink just below the apple of the cheek and upward all the way to the temple. Fill in the lip with a nude lip pencil, a lip-toned lipstick, and finish off with a light coat of clear lipgloss or vaseline.

Ok, I'm soooo over this whole bang thing, and now Jlo's sporting the shaggy do. Since Kim K has been banging it, it seems everyone's jumping on the band wagon. Quite honestly, they look too girlish for me, but if done properly "may" look chic. Here is a picture of Kim K which reminded me of being in the fourth grade, when your bangs grow out and you can't see two inches in front of you!

Now I love the winged look which makes Eva Longoria fab. So much more sultry and fresh.

Ladies skip the bang thing! You'll be over it in two seconds when you realize you look adolescent instead of youthful.

Vibrating FAT


The Power Plate is a vibration device that stimulates the body's natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contraction between 25-50 times per second. The benefits to this vibration include: improvement in blood circulation, increased muscle strength, flexibility, and decreased cellulite in addition to many other health benefits. How does it work? Well, the vibration creates instability, which focuses the body to perform reflexive muscle action. I saw the demonstration video and this little baby is amazing. You just have to "stand" on the machine in different positions and that's it! Well, it's not that easy, or everybody would have one; however, at $9250.00 I don't think that will happen anytime soon. I'm pretty biased though when it comes to anything competing with good ol' weight training. I'm curious though as to how well it works. If you're curious as well, fellow Albuquerqians, selected Sports and Wellness locations have the Power Plate. If you've already tried this product, please comment and educate our enquiring minds.

Hair Color Secrets!



"Most women think that drastically changing their hair color, either going much lighter or darker, will make them appear younger, fresher, and renewed," says Louis Licari owner of hair salons in NY and Beverly Hills. "But it doesn't." However, the "right" hair color can take off years.


Young looking hair is seen as vibrant with a lot of color variations that change in the light. As we age, our hair loses its richness and becomes blah! So the key is to focus on "shine," not color. Use a clear glaze for a glossy effect, or a colored one to conceal grays. If you're a dark brunette, stay with rich tones. If you're a warm blonde, keep to golden hues. Playing with a completely different color, your hair will fight it until it completely oxidizes the color turning it a brassy orange(that will make you look well over 200 years old overnight)! So focus on shine, only go a shade or two lighter than your natural, and never go black. That's the worse color for women, (look at this pic of fergie, black hair makes her look old and very blah!) So unless you don't mind looking like Mortitia Adams, stay within the boundaries. *Golden Rule: If you have to put on more makeup to make your new color work, you've picked the wrong shade.

Call PETA, JLO's on the Loose!!!


Oh My Word! Would you be caught dead in this outfit?
JLo certainly went over the deep in when she put this frumpy getup on. Where's the PETA police when you need them? The material is hideous, not to mention it does nothing for her famous physique. Come one LO, you gotta do better than this!!!

One of Spring's hot trends this year is "Spiky Lashes." Not the old Twiggy, by golly, but a more refined Twiggy. To acheive this look: layer on Mascara at least two coats and just before it dries, squeeze together sections of lashes with tweezers and shape into star points. Just be careful not to poke your eye out! Instant star quality!!!

M.A.C. Cosmetics New Summer Collection 2009



Naked Honey, is the new collection Mac is coming out with this summer and although the summer makeup tends to be predictable year after year, MAC is no exception. Bronze, Copper, and Gold are every beauty girl's signature color in the warm temps; that's what you can expect in this year's MAC collection. It is a beautiful line, but what's most impressive this year is not the makeup per se, but their new skin care line. Honey is used in their makeup and summer skin care line, which Cleopatra used in her baths, which reduces inflammation in the skin and helps reduce the signs of aging. Sounds like my kind if bath. Cleo also used sour milk in her baths; but I haven't talked myself into doing that one, yet!

* Creme de Miele - A light yellow-gold with a frosty finish.
*Pollinator - A warm mid-toned peach with red undertones and a pearly finish.
*Buckwheat - A deep colored, warm-toned brown with a pearlized finish.

M.A.C. Lipglass Colors For Summer 2009
Lipglass is probably one of the M.A.C. products with the largest following. Wearers either love or hate the thick, gooey gloss that, if applied heavily enough, would literally drip from the lips. (I hate it, but if it looks good I'll wear it). For summer 2009, M.A.C. has created a trio of summery Lipglass shades that combine three colors within each shade.
*She's A Star - Light-colored lipglass suitable for a touch of shine or nude lip.
*Queen B - An apricot color with pearl finish that is great for warmer skin tones
*Buzz - A rich, pearlized copper-brown for a more dramatic glossy finish

Their summer skin collection is what I look foward to trying. In addition to the two honey-based body washes, and the two summer fragrances, M.A.C. has created an all-purpose skin salve that can be used everywhere on the body. Wonderfully hydrating for lips, it also can be used to soften cuticles, or keep the heels of your feet from looking and feeling dry and cracked.
The 2009 summer Naked Honey collection from M.A.C. will be released in North America on June 11, 2009 and internationally in July. Hello, for me summer begins in MAY!!!! I must have it now!

Celebs Photoshopped!!!



Who would've thought that Ms. Kim K could be photoshopped. Come on ladies! Ms. Booty has lots of Booty and when you have lots of booty, lots of cellulite comes with it... It's just amazing to me why editors have to correct images to sell magazines. In our fantasy laden world, reality has gone by the wayside; but when you look in the mirror...reality kicks you right in your face!!! Not to mention your ass. We shouldn't be critical of ourselves because of these fake images we see. It's good that we get to see these images....these stars aren't perfect and neither are their bodies. Do you remember Madonna's photo fiasco? Horrible!!! She's one person that needs to be photoshopped! She has definitely lost touch with reality!

AGE Smart---The BEST Anti-Aging for your Skin!!!

I recently discovered something important, but never thought much of it until now. The power of excellent skin care products. Sure, I have my Super products here and there, but it feels great when you can use one skin care line that does all the work! I don't know what it is; the smell, texture, packaging...it's all somewhat harmonious. That's how I feel about this new line: AGE Smart by Dermalogica. "These are the best anti-aging products on the market."
I recently tried samples of the products I'm about to mention, and after one use, I noticed a huge difference in my skin! The overall appearance was brighter, smoother, more refined... It made me feel, for once lately, that I didn't have to jump start my journey towards Botox quite yet.


The first product I used was the Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, $31.50


It's an anti-aging exfoliating cleanser for mature and aging skin. It removes dirt, debris, excess oil and makeup. The lactic acid in it exfoliates away dead skin cells while hydrating and brightening the skin. The rose flower calms sensitivity, while the Vitamin E provides anti-oxidant protection. The cleanser is very gentle, and it minimized my pores substantially.

The second product is the Multivitamin Thermafoliant, $43.20


This exfoliator sloughs away dead skin cells unveiling a smoother complexion. Physical and chemical exfoliants help to boost radiance and soften the skin. The consistency is much finer than an apricot scrub. It left my skin soft and smooth!

Next, I used the Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque, $37.80


This rich mask is for dull and dry skin. It contains Vitamins A, C, E,F and proV B5 which repairs the damaged weak skin leaving your face feeling smooth, bright and toned. It can be added to the daily regimen, or used once a week.

Follow up with Dynamic Skin Care Recovery w/ SPF 30, $54.00


This hydrating moisturizer with SPF 30 contains all the ingredients needed to keep skin firm, supple and hydrated while protecting it from harmful UVA and UVB rays. This lightweight moisturizer/sunscreen duo is perfect to wear under makeup. You get the beauty and protection all in one!

Photobucket



Last but certainly not least, The Renewal Lip Complex, $22.00


This is my favorite product! Anything that keeps my lips moist and firm tops my list.
It restores chapped, rough, and aging lips leaving them soft and supple. It contains Lysine Polypeptide which prevents stiff unhealthy collagen. Cocoa butter, avocado oil, rice bran oil, wheat germ oil, and shea butter supply nourishing vitamins and rich moisture for fuller lips. Lastly the hylaronic acid leaves lips hydrated---which is what makes lips look younger!

If you're worried about spending too much on one or more products without trying them, no problem, you can purchase AGE Smart Starter Kit. This kit includes the Skin Resurfacing Cleanser, Multivitamin Thermofoliant, Antioxidant Hydramist, Map-15 regenerator, Dynamic Skin Recovery, and Renewal Lip Complex(sample size), all in travel sized bottles perfect for previewing this line.
