Arianne Suggs December 1, 2016December 1, 2016Leave a Comment

Well if we can’t party in Paris with supermodels we can at least smell like one who does! Right now several of the biggest names in the modeling industry are living it up in France as they take part in the filming of this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. We love Vicky, her annual runway extraganza and we love Paris. Therefore, naturally we are obsessed with Victoria’s Secret Paris Perfume and you should be too!

Editor Pick: Victoria’s Secret Paris Perfume

The Victoria’s Secret Paris Perfume is the latest fragrance to make its way down the Vicky pipeline. The interesting thing about Victoria’s fragrances is that you never think they will be able to outdo past favorites. Yet, somehow they do it every single time.

The Paris fragrance is described as perfectly capturing the “scent of Parisian gardens.” Ugh, could that sound anymore dreamy? Moreover, it contains notes of white cedar wood, French cypress as well as night blooming jasmine. Together a tantalizing cocktail of fabulousness is produced.

If you have read our other product pick posts then you already know we are sticklers when it comes to packaging and design. If we’re spending money it better look like what we paid. With that said, Paris’ bottle is divine. It definitely reads luxury and deserves a spot on a vanity. Furthermore, the packaging is a winter wonderland complete with ribbons. In short, the packaging is as sleek as the bottle itself.

Victoria’s Secret Paris Perfume

This seductive fragrance inspired by the City of Light is now available! However, dolls you may want to hurry on this one. Paris is limited edition so you’ll want to cop one before it completely sells out.

Let’s talk price point real quick. Each gorgeously packed Victoria’s Secret Paris Perfume retails for $65. Available online and in store. BUT another reason we love Vicky is because of all the freebies!

Right now if you buy Paris or any Bombshell fragrance (1.7 oz or larger) you will also receive a FREE Paris or Bombshell lotion. All you have to do is enter code TRYLOTION. Consider yourself officially tipped off (LOL). Enjoy Paris dolls, happy shopping and don’t forget Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2016 airs on CBS December 5th!

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Arianne Suggs November 30, 2016November 30, 2016Leave a Comment

How can the perfect comfort food when surviving monthly cramps be so bad? Researchers for years have been trying to solve the mystery, does chocolate cause acne? Some can eat the yummy, delectable treat while others simply can not. Therefore, is there a way chocolate and skincare can actually come together in a positive way?

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Okay dolls here is the truth in a beauty nutshell. There is absolutely little to no evidence proving that chocolate causes breakouts. Alright, so what gives? Why do some people eat the coco and wind up as a pie face?

The thing is what has been proven through countless studies is that consuming a high-sugar/high-fat diet can lead to acne. This is because such a diet can increase sebum production thus promoting inflammatory responses within the body. Those responses is what leads to ugly breakouts.

Sebum is a greasy oil that is secreted from the sebaceous glands. We need sebum because it helps to lubricate as well as waterproof our hair and skin. Without sebum our skin and hair would lack moisture and dry out.

As you can see sebum can be good or disastrous. As mama always said, “Too much of a good thing can be bad.” Acne forms when too much sebum is produced. So then, you can begin to see why it is important not to do anything that may increase oil production. Besides watching our diet we would also want to avoid over washing our skin.

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc – The Game Changer

So we have debunked the myth, does chocolate cause acne and now we are going to share some good news! The amazing scientists over at Cambridge have answered all of our chocolate prayers and developed Esthechoc. Esthechoc is a dark chocolate that comes packed with anti-aging benefits. Clinical trials of the chocolate have been very promising. One piece of Esthechoc was shown to reduce inflammation and promote firmer skin.

So then, they are telling us chocolate does not crack (wink, wink). Want some Esthechoc in your life? Get a 21 day supply of chocolate for $55 by going here.

Black Lipstick That Stuns! Moor Rich Liquid Melanin Lipstick

Moor Rich is a California based lipstick line that is one of the best kept secrets of the beauty industry. However, the secret is quickly being leaked! The brand sells liquid matte lip colors that look drop dead gorgeous on us brownies.

Moreover, one of the best parts is that Moor Rich is a black owned company! Moor Rich is one of the brands that have been answering the call for more cosmetics to be made by us, for us. There are several shades of the line that are total stunners. For instance, there is a deep plum tint named Sheba as well as a rich brown color called Nefertiti.

However, it is the mesmerizing noire shade, Melanin, that has completely stolen our beauty hearts. Melanin does not disappoint and is easy to apply.

Use lip liner or a deep brown/red lipstick as your base. After lips have been filled in with your selected base color then apply your black lipstick. The lipstick will have something to “adhere” to and stay put instead of performing a vanishing act.

If you happen to experience dairy breakouts you may wonder does dairy cause acne in all girls? Acne can occur for a number of reasons and sometimes many ladies do not think of food as being the culprit. More logical reasons always seem to be cosmetics, lack of sleep or even stress. Therefore, what is so wrong with dairy products in the first place? Dairy is fine, but how everyone reacts to it is different.

Does Dairy Cause Acne in All Girls?

It can be tough to give up dairy in order to avoid breakouts. For that would mean no more ice cream, yogurt and cheese can almost sound like a death sentence. However, there are still plenty of other yummy foods that can be consumed that can make the food switch up worth it. One would have to think long and hard whether to continue to experience dairy acne or cut out dairy in exchange for smooth, gorgeous skin.

So then what causes this type of skin issue? Studies indicate that some milk-based products contain hormones from cows. These very cow hormones in some people stimulate the sebaceous glands. As a result, acne is created. Therefore to answer the question at the forefront of this post, no this reaction is not seen in all women. Most will not have to cut out dairy from their diet but it is a good thing to try if acne keeps occurring after indulging in milk-based products.

Is Netflix Marathoning Dangerous to Your Health?

Arianne Suggs November 26, 2016November 26, 2016Leave a Comment

Netflix marathoning has become as common as a smartphone. Just about everyone under 35 does it so its officially now apart of millennial lifestyle. However, is there a downside to racking up the hours to Stranger Things?

Is Netflix Marathoning Dangerous to Your Health?

Well, say it ain’t so Joe. There’s been a slew of new studies that have associated pulmonary embolism with high amounts of TV viewing. Now that sounds serious.

Pulmonary embolism occurs when there is a blockage in the lungs’ arteries. How can this happen when watching the tube? Blood flow can slow down during bouts of prolonged immobility, hence long stays on the couch. This in turn can lead to clots forming within the pelvis or legs. The real scary part is that these clots can break free and begin to move around. They then can travel to the lungs and cause even more problems such as heart attack or sudden death.

Netflix Marathoning – What Are the Limits?

Of course, nothing done on an occasional basis should be of concern. However, according to research four and half hours of TV watching raises the risk of blood clot development. Also, every additional two hours raised risks by another forty percent.

As tense as all of this information sounds there are preventive measures that can be taken. For one, people who do not move much at all or live quite sedentary lifestyles are the ones more at risk. Movement is major key to being able to enjoy a good old Hulu or Netflix binge.

Be sure to turn off all apps for a bit in order to get regular exercise. Moreover, if you get addicted to a particular show take a break every now and then to get your blood really flowing again. This is not any different then being on a long airplane ride. Which by the way can also promote clots. Shifting positions or getting up to use the bathroom can keep you safe. Therefore, simply move dolls and there will be no reason to fear Netfilx marathoning.

Sty-eye : Could My Eye Makeup Be the Cause?

Arianne Suggs November 25, 2016November 25, 2016Leave a Comment

Oh, the uncomfortable and unsightly joys of a sty-eye. Those bumps that suddenly appear along the eyelid can make you feel like your experiencing a scene from Alien. However, there could be a very logical reason as to why the flare up happened in the first place. What causes sty-eye and how can it be prevented?

Sty-eye : Could My Eye Makeup Be the Cause?

In short, yes your eye makeup could be the cause. Especially, if it is very old. Why is this the case? Sties are caused when bacteria becomes trapped within the gland openings along the eyelid. Once this occurs a bump forms which can appear to be quite red. These bumps are often very painful and swollen thus making your eye look less normal.

There are a plethora of ways that bacteria can be transferred to the eye line. This could happen by sharing eye makeup brushes as well as eye makeup in general. As a rule you should always avoid sharing makeup that is applied near sensitive areas such as the eye.

Another way bacteria can seep its way into glands is going to sleep with eye makeup such as eyeliner still on. As you know occasionally getting your beauty rest on with makeup is not harmful. However, making it a habit can lead to many skin issues. Acne and yep, you guessed it sty-eye.

The Ugly Truth

The third way bacteria can potentially cause a sty is due to using super old makeup. Now, we are all guilty of keeping older makeup in our beauty bags. This is because it can take years to find that perfect color or product that just gets the job done like no other.

Yet, it is old makeup that can breed and house bacteria that can easily find its way into your glands. When it comes to eyeliner you especially need to use caution. Liners are applied regularly to and near the water line. Which means that it can easily wreck havoc if contaminated with bacteria.

When should you toss out your liner? It is highly recommended that liquid liners be removed from your beauty arsenal after three months. Pencil eyeliners have a longer shelf life and can be safely used for six months.

The Sty-Eye Fix

So lets say you have done everything you can to prevent a sty but you are still dealing with the little bugger. How can you treat a sty without causing any additional irritation?

First of all, whatever you do don’t attempt to drain or squeeze the sty yourself. We have heard some horrors stories in our day. Two words: a needle. Just be kind to yourself plus your eyes and perform a warm compress instead.

Simply warm a washcloth with hot water and then place the cloth on the affected eye area. In time you will definitely notice a difference. A few other things to keep in mind is to toss any old makeup and avoid eye makeup until everything is better. By keeping all these tips in mind you can heal, avoid and prevent sty-eye.

Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara -Be a Layer Queen!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on November 19, 2016November 19, 2016Leave a Comment

Designer Marc Jacobs’ Marc Beauty has been steadily releasing one makeup gem after another. In the age of lash extensions and faux lashes, at times good old mascara can get lost in the shuffle. Nevertheless, the Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara is helping to bring sexy back…in the form of a gorgeous full, natural lash line.

Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara -Be a Layer Queen!

On its own the Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara is a great product. However, when you layer it that is when the real magic happens! Nonetheless, why should a lady layer mascara?

Layering allows the mascara wearer to achieve a stronger look as well as durability. For instance, if you first apply a regular formula then layer waterproof mascara on top your overall look will last longer. Moreover, by layering lengthening and volumizing formulas you get thicker, longer looking lashes. Cool huh?

Marc Beauty Velvet Noir Mascara

Layering is actually something the Marc Jacobs brand fully supports and encourages. Marc Beauty sells two great products to get the job done. Velvet Noir and O! Mega Lash.

Recently, MB explained the best way to layer the fab mascaras. The brand revealed, “Layer up on lashes. First, use O! Mega Lash for separated long lashes and then layer with Velvet Noir for added drama and epic volume.” Simple enough. Have fun in those mirrors ladies and don’t forget you can always layer formulas to get an amazing lash look naturally.
