A Night Out With Skyn ICELAND Solutions for Stressed Skin

More than once a week I stumble into my apartment when the sky is starting to lighten. Having been out partying with friends since 11 the previous night., I'm slightly still intoxicated from the dreamy Paradise Martinis at the Hudson bar. Peeling off my fake lush lashes, (my favorite new accessory) all I want to do is drop into bed, but I never do without a trip to the bathroom to wash away the glitter and bronzer and makeup that's been seeping into my pores all night. with skyn ICELAND Glacial Cleanser, Artic Face Mist, Oxygen Infusion Night Cream, and Icelandic Relief Eye Cream. Antibacterial willow bark in skyn ICELAND ensures that impending breakout you can feel beginning to press against the right side of your chin has disappeared before you wake up at 2 PM. Cooling, beneficial mineral water and micro-encapsulated oxygen improves the tone and texture of your skin made blotchy by previously applied self tanner, irritating makeup, and the smoke & smog typically floating around nightlife venues. Rice peptides counteract puffiness and dark circles made worse by mascara you just can't seem to completely remove. The result: A miracle. Glowing, fresh, even toned skin you crave, regardless of how many cocktails you've enjoyed!

Nuress Home Tanning Salon - A Must Have.

“Match foundation to your skin tone, then dust bronzer lightly on your cheeks, nose, and forehead to maintain a sun-kissed glow once summer is over.”
You're probably familiar with this bit of beauty advice suggesting that once the leaves on the trees change ? unless you live in Manhattan, where the end of summer is signified by the change in inventory of every single retail boutique from slinky summery tank tops to argyle turtlenecks mid August. To make matters worse, you've just planned a fun-filled evening with 5 of your girlfriends and figured you'd just hit H&M that morning for a worthy ensemble - only to find wool trousers are a far cry from the flirty turquoise cocktail number you had envisioned yourself purchasing.
So eventually you make do with a sheer strappy tunic and a pair of leggings that you locate on a Summer Clearance rack.
I honestly don't see the need for Summer Clearance. The fact that my August shopping sprees have been extremely limited by materials like wool and corduroy aggravates me.
Personally, I think everyone should always look like they rolled off of South Beach. Without, of course, having to bake your skin in the sun for hours. A tan instantly gives anyone a healthy glow. So then, why can I not stay tan all year round? Why does every beauty magazine I read or every beauty consultant I speak to tell me to wear makeup that will drain the color from my face so that I can reapply the color with bronze powder? Why can't I just be the color I want to be?!
With this pressing question burning in my mind on Monday morning, I walk into my office to find a blue and yellow box labeled Nuress Home Tanning Salon sitting on my desk. My heart rate quickens. My breath catches in my throat. Could this be the answer to my very own beauty dilemma?
I tore open the box and skimmed through the manual. I pop the instructional CD to my computer. I have to admit I was so anxious to try it that I didn?t read the directions much. I've been spray tanned before ? how hard could it be? I just snapped the pieces together and poured in the caramel liquid. I adjusted the small nozzle on the spray bottle to control how fast and how much color would come out. I laid a towel out in front of a mirror, stripped down to a bikini, and sprayed away, vertically on the lower half of my body, horizontally on the top half and on my face.
The result was the most amazing, natural, bronze tan I'd ever faked in my life. It didn't streak, run, or turn blotchy or orange. It sounds sort of like a vacuum cleaner, but I personally don't mind if it sounds like a fire engine if it makes me look like this!
The best part: it's almost impossible to mess up and it took me under 15 minutes! Although I didn't read the instructions carefully, I recommend doing so. The key, however, is to keep the spray bottle moving constantly, not letting it rest on one area too long! You can also have a partner help you spray your back, but it isn't necessary. If you tilt the spray bottle at the right angle, you can cover everything.
How long did it last? Well, two weeks go by before my tan begins to fade when I was browsing through a well-known, popular beauty mecca of sorts. I really really did not want the assistance of a sales associate - because every experience I've had with these people have proven them to be completely incapable of giving me any legitimate advice. For some reason, they just LOVE to put a totally wrong color makeup on my face. It's actually happened a few times before. Once, I was slathered with a color that was clearly formulated for a corpse. Another time, one would have thought I was being painted with some kind of tribal adornment for how inaccurately it matched my skintone. Naturally, the tan on my face has begun to fade first, and I just KNEW they were going to suggest I buy some ridiculously light color and then purchase bronzer to apply over it. I firmly made a pact with myself: I absolutely was not going to be convinced.
Of course, after I turned the third sales person away, I could not escape them any longer. I had to submit to their...assistance when a fourth one asked if I needed help. So I reluctantly explained that my face was typically darker than it appeared. I was in love with one particular brand of foundation that did not have a color for me. She, of course, insisted that color 040 was the correct shade. I explained that no, it was not, because I was going to be much darker in a day or two! The exchange continued, back and forth in this manner. She asked where I was going. I lied and said Miami. She said that it didn't matter - that I should use this pale foundation and use bronzer to darken my complexion. I said no way to spending $40 on a tube of the wrong shade makeup.
So - much like shopping for wool clothing in August, I simply did not see the point. And from now on, my natural color is my Nuress color. You can like it or love it, but I simply don?t see the need to ever not look like I just left the beach.

Recipe by Avenue You For The Ultimate Hair Conditioning Cocktail

Ultimate Conditioning Cocktail
Paul Brown Hawaii Ressurect + Kukui Nut "Hot" Oil + Diamond Heads Cuticle Ultra Shine Serum
Someone once told me I made the best margarita she'd ever tasted. I don't disagree, but I feel my specialty really lies in the preparation of the Ultimate Conditioning Cocktail.
For strengthening, reconstructing, and deep conditioning unlike any you've tried, mix 1 oz. (3 counts) Resurrect, 1/2 oz. Kukui Nut "Hot" Oil, and 8-10 drops of the Diamond Heads Hair Cuticle Ultra Shine Serum. Let the cocktail soak into hair for 15 minutes, then rinse.
THE RESULT: You'll experience an immediate transformation from dry, damaged, lifeless-looking locks into silky, smooth, super-hydrated hair, minus the fly-aways and unmanageability other deep conditioning products can cause

Less Time On Hair, Means More Time With People Who Care - HaiElite Turbo -HAIonic Hair Dryer

I dread blow-drying my hair. It soaks up water like a sponge; it's pointless to dry it right out of the shower. I find any means to avoid it until the very last second that it absolutely must be done. Translation: My boyfriend has begged we leave for dinner twice already and says he'll be waiting in the car. Usually, I labor under the hot, bright lights above my bathroom mirror, moving a heavy, professional hair drier over my long, thick, water-retaining tresses for at least a half hour, fighting to keep it smooth. And then it frizzes anyway. Not only does the HAIonic give me beautifully smooth, frizz-free hair, but it cuts my drying time by more than half! My hair was completely dry in just under 10 minutes. It's totally light-weight, and has a convenient non-slip grip handle. It's super quiet, with adjustable heat & cold settings. Now, my boyfriend will experience a 20 minute decrease in his waiting time. I think that's pretty fantastic.

Read Kate's Lips About Fusion Beauty's Lip Fusion

"What's that you?re putting on your lips?"
"Lip Fusion."
"Lip what?"
"Fusion…want to try some?"
"Sure. Give me a minute." "Hi, How are you?"
I was relaxing on a strikingly upholstered chaise lounge in my friend?s Red Bank boutique, gazing dreamily into the long shiny mirror that spanned the length of the west wall. Jamie had turned to greet a customer. I quietly unscrewed the square silver top of my new favorite Lip Fusion, Glow, a pinky-peach gloss with flecks of gold. It glided beautifully onto my pursued lips. I inhaled its light, summery, nectar scent and turned my head this way and that, letting the light from the crystal chandeliers bounce off my lips.
"You're putting that on again?"
"Yes." I practically purred, and extended the chic rectangular tube to her.
Leaning toward the mirror, she quickly applied the gloss, and seeming satisfied, looked down to examine the tube.
"Lip Plumping!?" she practically shrieked.
"Yes, with micro-injected collagen."
"Kate, my lips are full enough! Aren?t you supposed to be a beauty consultant!?"
"But, Jame, it's Lip Fusion."
"So what?!"
"Look at your lips again."
We both turned to stare at her gorgeously smooth, lineless, Glow-ing pout.
"So…" she paused, "how many do you have in stock?" We shared a knowing smile.

Kate's Reviews EnhanceMe Bronze Velvet Micro-Mist Airbrush Tanning Spray

I love the beach, but I don't have many free days to spend idly basking in the sun and frolicking in the surf for hours to attain a golden tan. I wasn't terribly pale, but I certainly wasn't glowing with the tan of the islands either. What was even worse was that I had skipped the gym that morning. And as if that weren?t bad enough, I had eaten a waffle for breakfast. With butter.
Actually, I eat this every Friday. Not particularly healthy and nourishing, I know. But this weekend, I went home after brunching with my girlfriends with what I hoped was a miracle in a bottle. Tucked away in my oversize bag was Bronze Velvet Micro-Mist Airbrush Tanning Spray.
I showered, exfoliated, and moisturized, then stood on a towel in front of my full length mirror in a bikini, Micro-Mist aimed at my undefined stomach. With just a few sheer mists, I had gained bronze abs and lost a dress size. Well, not really, but I looked a lot thinner and streamlined. I used it everywhere; the super light-weight, airy spray didn't streak, turn orange, or stain the palms of my hands. It gave my face even, sun-kissed color without clogging pores or causing breakouts.
Today, the only thing I skipped was the beach.
