Beauty by Borghese

    Coming in November, nurturing and beautifying lip color from the La Perla Duale Collection by Borghese featuring six fashion forward shades inspired by the runways of Milan:  Perla Nudo, Perla Café, Perla Fiamma, Perla Pesca, Perla Vino and Perla Rosa. 


   The creamy, long-lasting, dual purpose formula delivers rich, opaque color with a high pearl finish.  Formulated with Vitamins A, E & C to condition lips and help provide anti-oxidant protection, and Chamomile and Aloe to soothe and smooth. The finish is subtle and warmly glowing with a soft and muted  foil-like finish, and it stays on a long time. Even the shape in the tube is nice--not too rectangular so it glides on as smoothly as it feels on your lips.

Exceptional Exfoliants

One sure way to wake-up a tired complexion in the morning is to wash your face with a facial scrub. There is nothing like it to get your skin cells pumping. St. Ives Elements offers three different versions, each guaranteed to get your face ready for the day.

The Swiss-based St. Ives Laboratories, now a part of Alberto-Culver, with its world-wide line of botanically-based Swiss Formula skin and hair products has long offered a strong selection of high quality and still affordable products.

The most gentle is the Olive Scrub., a 5 oz tube containing olive oil and all-natural exfoliants. The Olive Scrub does exactly what it says—“gently exfoliates while leaving skin moisturized.” It is very easy on the skin and is one of the most mild exfoliants on the market. Another, Microdermabrasion, has fine mineral crystals and chamomile to “gently smooth away the appearance of fine lines.” The texture is not at all gritty and the sloughing particles are so fine all you feel is a tingling. Then there is St. Ives new Warming Scrub, which “relaxes pores for a deeper clean”. It heats with contact with water and makes a rich lather and feels very comforting and at the same time invigorating.

All are refreshing wake-up calls for a still-sleepy complexion.
