			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Spring Into a Bright New Style</p>
<p>Change Agents</p>
<p>We all crave change, we love the thought of starting something new, but it is so hard to take those first few steps. I realize that when it comes to makeovers and suggestions on how to improve one or another of our troublesome tendencies or habits, reading reams of wonderful, uplifting advice can seem like just one more rock to push up the hill. Which is why we try to keep the make “over” or update part to a minimum while pushing the make “better” with the hope that you’ll take it in the spirit that it’s intended.  So this being the beginning of spring and time to reinvent ourselves, think about how the change is good, it is positive and it’s time to refresh our psyche.</p>
<p>That said, get ready for our Change Agents to transform you into a modern, updated and more beautiful you.</p>
<p>Spring Looks 2012</p>
<p>Spring Eyes</p>
<p>Think color because that’s what you will be seeing this season and a lot of it.  Put aside the natural you and indulge in some eye-popping greens. Or try a burgundy crease color rather than brown. Possess authority and liberation by using a peachy eye shadow on the eyelid rather than a cream colored one.  Invite a new color in your wardrobe till you get used to the idea you’ve changed. That rarefied hipness just might tickle your shift in attitude.</p>
<p>Spring Cheek Colors</p>
<p>Now we’re talking super bright colors for cheeks and in a big way. Beeline to your nearest cosmetic boutique to try on this newest trend and then broadcast your urban coolness with a bright pink shimmer blusher. Without uttering a word and spiking up your fashionista per se, you will add some spice to your trend-watching swagger.   It’s nice to be in the know, and to wear it well you need to add just a hint of this enduring color to the cheeks to pull off this elite fashion re-shift with confidence.</p>
<p>Spring Lips</p>
<p>With all these bright colors swirling around this season, lips take on a whole new natural wave with baby palette essentials. Think cuddly light pink nudes, soft peach nectars and flawless angelic plums. Dabble in a world of beautifully crafted change without sacrificing all the home-grown principles you still identify with.   Instead of using just a clear gloss, use a lip shine with a hint of peach. Or liberate yourself by using a nude pink lipstick rather than a gloss. The possibilities are endless and so much fun.</p>
<p>Spring Forward this season and let yourself in on something fun, you never know you may be delighted you tried something new!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>New Year Beauty</p>
<p>Smooth and Beautiful Skin Starts With A Good Skin Care Routine</p>
<p>The New Year brings us a new beginning and a fresh start. When the New Year approaches, people promise themselves that this is the year they’re going to take charge, and replace bad habits with good routines.  This year its time for a new skin care program; or if you’ve never had one, now is a good time to start.  A good skin care routine will improve your skin and give you years of youth for the future.  Find out what will make a difference treating your skin with new technologies in serums and scrubs. It is simple, start replacing the old habits with healthy choices.  Try stop going to bed with make-up on, cleanse the skin nightly, apply a good eye cream and face cream.  The benefits are outstanding and will improve the skin for a smoother beautiful complexion. Thanks to the new innovations in skin care “Aging Is Optional”!</p>
<p>The first step is going to a licensed skin care Aesthetician. An Aesthetician is highly trained in the care of the skin and is state board certified in analyzing the skin and to advise you on what to use for your specific skin type. Many Aestheticians work with Dermatologist offering facials and specialized skin treatments in their offices.  Most Dermatologist do not provide skin care programs, they supply skin treatments such as medications. Below are some skin care options to consider adding to your daily routine.</p>
<p>Facial Cleansers:</p>
<p>You want to avoid the “one-size-fits-all” skin cleansers. If you have dry skin use a cleanser that will help nourish, protect, and re-moisturize the skin. If you have oily skin use a cleanser that will help balance the oil production and reduce acne. For sensitive skin, use a cleanser that does not have herbs or a scent, but that deep cleans the surface and eliminates skin irritations.</p>
<p>Facial Toners:</p>
<p>Face toners are essential for beautiful skin. They help the moisturizers work better, bring the skin back to its natural PH balance, and to remove residue left over from make-up. A good toner will also help exfoliate the skin and retexture the surface of the skin so the complexion is firm and smooth.</p>
<p>Eye Creams:</p>
<p>Eye creams are essential to avoid pre-mature aging and wrinkles and one that is specifically made for the eye area. The skin around the eye is very thin and delicate and must be treated differently than the rest of the face. You cannot use face moisturizers around the eye area because they are too thick and will not moisturize or hydrate.</p>
<p>Face Creams:</p>
<p>When it comes to face cream you need to have guidance and find a cream that is best for your skin type. There are so many face creams on the market today, and some can get really expensive, you don’t need to spend a lot of money on a great skin cream, but you need the right cream to work for your specific skins needs. Look for creams with vitamins and peptides in them. Research has shown when applying peptides with anti-oxidants and vitamins will reduce fine lines, firm the skin and stop the formation of wrinkles.</p>
<p>We invite you to stop in to The Rouge to sample our skin care products and treatments; Ongrien Advanced Skin Care and we would like to help educate you on a proper skin care program. Let this year be the year you love your skin. It’s Easy, simple, an</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>BRING ON THE HOLIDAY BEAUTY *MAGIC*</strong></p>
<p><strong>Beauty styles that sparkle </strong></p>
<p>The holidays are filled with parties, family get togethers, and special events. This holiday season try something fun to make you feel extra special like; blush shimmers, sparkle eyeliners, or jewel tone lip-glosses. These are just some beauty pick-me-ups to feel pretty and to look sensational this holiday season!</p>
<p>Blush shimmers are in big demand this season. They look so fabulous and radiant on the skin it’s like a supermodel in a bottle! They make the skin glow and your complexion look oh-so-smooth.   There are so many colors to choose from. We have available pink shimmers, bronzy shimmers, champagne liquids, porcelain powders, bronzers and beautiful rosy golden stick highlighters.  Depending on your skin tone try a few before purchasing your favorite one.  This can be tricky so ask our trained professional to help you with placement and color. You do not want to apply a blush shimmer all over the face. It belongs only on the highest part of the cheekbone and on top of the apple of the cheek.</p>
<p><strong>Holiday Lips</strong></p>
<p>It’s funny the way a new shade of lipstick or new lip gloss can put a spring in your step!  It’s the little simple things that make us smile this holiday season.  With new jewel tone lip-gloss colors glowing everywhere this season, now’s the time to load up on shine. The shinier the better and with some fun runway-worthy sparkle! Glam it up with lips looking like juicy-jewels!  If you want to slip into something a little more silky, you can try lipsticks that have peptides in them for a true moisture surge and a more fuller looking lip.  Anything you decide make sure it’s glossy and lips look nice and hydrated. There is nothing worse than having dry chapped lips before applying your favorite gloss or lip color.  Use a good Vitamin E with Vitamin C lip treatment. This will help heal and super hydrate the lips and protect the lips from harsh weather conditions.</p>
<p><strong>One Hot Minute Eyes</strong></p>
<p>Eyes are enchanting this holiday season. There is so much texture, dimension, and intense colors in shadows you can look fabulous in minutes. Nude Mattes are a big hit this season with your favorite browns and navy blue accents.   Midnight Blue eye- liner hits center stage with their intense pop of color. Use this amazing color as an accent to achieve a glam-dramatic look and make heads turn when you walk in the room.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Eye Bright</strong></p>
<p>Who needs sleep when you’ve got the latest tools and techniques to give your eyes that well rested look? With the help of Ongrien’s Ultra Firming Eye Cream and Fleur Visage Concealing Cover Stick you’ll be transformed in a blink.  Simply apply the Ultra Firming Eye Cream under the eyes to help de-puff eyes and make them brighter. Add our cover stick with super concealing benefits to hide even the darkest circles.</p>
<p>Let The Rouge take you on a glamour journey with beautifully applied make-up to make your parties extra special. We are available to Glamorize you Tuesday through Saturday for all your special events.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>What Is A Professional Make-up Lesson?</p>
<p>How to save time and money!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Women know what they want, they just don’t know how to get it. That’s where I come in….</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">A make-up lesson is taught by a licensed professional who has had years of training with cosmetics. The professional should have the intense understanding of color, in-depth knowledge of skin care, and correct treatment options for each individual’s skin. Knowing the right colors, updating your make-up styles, and understanding trends that are realistic gives you confidence. Make-up lessons should be subtle not drastic; by changing your make-up wardrobe with the right instruction it will make a world of difference.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At The Rouge we carry only the finest cosmetics by Fleur Visage that are updated every season.<span> </span>When a new client comes in for a lesson, we start by asking the client what their needs are and how we can help them. We show them how to get their very own look with the right color cosmetics, with an updated style.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">What to Expect</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Make-up Lesson:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1<sup>st</sup> Skin Care:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Ongrien Advanced Skin Care</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">By assessing your features and skin condition we go through a one on one consultation and help you select a skin care program that will fit your needs as well as make-up to fit your lifestyle.<span> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">3<sup>rd</sup> Concealer:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have many concealers and colors to choose from. We analyze your skin tones and apply a concealer that goes with your skin color. If you choose too dark of a concealer you can end up looking older than intended; however choosing too light of a concealer has unpleasant effects as well. Choosing the correct shade is vital.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">4<sup>th</sup> Foundation:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Whether you need a little coverage or you want to smooth imperfections in your complexion, we have many foundations to choose from. Our most popular foundation is our Custom Blend. We will professionally blend our Custom Foundation to match your skin tone exactly. After applying foundation we gently apply a silky Mica Powder (Not Mineral) to set the make-up on your skin. This helps the skin look very natural and smooth. Our Mica Powders can also be used alone.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">5<sup>th</sup> Blushers and Bronzers:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Skin Glowing Techniques-</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We show you the right color and the correct technique for applying blush and bronzers. You will achieve the most sun kissed, natural glowing skin for your very own skin tone.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">6<sup>th</sup> Eye Shadows-Eye Liners:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We chart out how to apply eye shadows and eyeliners correctly for your eye shape and natural contours. Having the right eye colors are essential in bringing out the best in your features.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">7<sup>th</sup> Lip Sticks Lip Liner Glosses:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lip colors should accent the skin and brighten up your smile.<span> </span>Choosing a lip color is very challenging for most women. We help you select a lipstick or lip-gloss to compliment the skin, while keeping in mind the season.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>At The Rouge Make-up Lessons and Make-up Updates are very popular. We offer these services Tuesday through Saturday by Appointment only.<span> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>FALL BEAUTY UPDATES</p>
<p>EXCITING NEW COLORS FOR FALL</p>
<p>With the changing seasons I always look forward to the new color palates, it’s a way to have a fresh new start and exciting to try some new colors. Some of us get bored using the same color make-up and some of us just like to stick to the same cosmetic style.  If you are one of those people that love change and like to try different trends in make-up then take advantage of our fresh new looks coming in.  If you haven’t changed your look since like “High School” it might be time for a fresh new start, because this season is beaming with great new looks. It’s time to update!!</p>
<p>This season brings us a brand new style in eye application techniques and creativity.  Cosmetic palates are equipped to make the eye sultry, big and gorgeous. Using colors with nude tones and rich deep matte navy shades, the eyes will pop with delicate sohistcation, but at the same time being real and natural.  Delicate nude pinks are in the forecast combined with soft shimmery taupe’s for contour and defining the eyes.  Applying Meteor (Dark Green with shimmer) eyeliner on top, it will enhance the eye giving it depth, beauty and a youthful look. Adding a layer of sparkle to the eyes will give the eyes a beautiful effect and enhance your “ahh” appeal for drama and a radiant glow. Dark navy mascara is back and they are here for the bold ooh la la lush eye effect.</p>
<p>CHEEKS AND SMOOTH SKIN</p>
<p>This fall cheeks are smooth and glowing.  Light pink blush shimmers are on the horizon as this year’s most popular shade. This stroke of genius takes your complexion from dull to radiant in seconds. Bronzers continue to be a staple for California girls to keep the skin looking fresh and warm.   The sun kissed look is always in season. By adding a beautiful highlighting pink blush it will give your skin that nice dewy smooth glow.</p>
<p>LIPS THAT HAVE MOISTURE GIVE POWER TO THE POUT!!</p>
<p>Latest lip textures have Vitamin E and Vitamin C added to the formula.  It is a treatment that you can wear daily, to build power and fullness to the pout and it will give the lips more hydration. Lip colors are bold this season.  Many shades of reds are in the forecast this fall, along with beautiful plum tones and juicy pinks.  Lips glosses are perfect to give you a finished look.   Use glosses that are bold with sheer color, like reds, plums and bold pink tones.  They are trendy and fun!!</p>
<p>MAKE-UP UDATES</p>
<p>Make-up should be fun, exciting and bring out the creativity inside ones soul.  With years of experience and having an eye for color and the love and appreciation of art, we pride ourselves in giving each and everyone their own personal look and experience. We help choose styles that fit your own personal lifestyle, whether it be ultra natural (maybe one eye shadow color and a gloss) to a Modern Trend, Vogue, and Full-Out-Glam-Look.</p>
<p>Fall trends start August 17<sup>th</sup> and anytime you are ready. So make your appointment today and discover what cosmetic wardrobe is best for your style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Paris Fashion and Beauty</p>
<p>Keepin’ It Real</p>
<p>IT’S</p>
<p>1:30 in the afternoon on a beautiful Spring Day in Paris.  We are sitting at an adorable café in Saint Germaine, people watching.  A pass time Parisians love.  The weather in Paris is beautiful and warm. The Scene on Rue Francias is epic, women are dressed in adorable dresses, perfectly matched outfits and the occasional Levi straight leg jean paired with a beautiful blazer and stylish boot. Spring trends float up and down the street like a fashion runway. Sitting there I feel like I am watching the greatest fashion show on earth.  Women and men are dressed to the 10’s, so incredibly stylish taking pride in what they wear and how they present themselves. Even the way they walk or should I say stroll they have their own chic swagger.  It’s a lesson in fashion sitting there for a couple of hours. It’s no wonder designers in Europe take to the streets of Paris to see new ideas for inspiration.</p>
<p>As we sip our delicious tea and expressos and share the most wonderful Nutella crepe, I notice Europeans love their scarves both men and women and on this particular dreamy day every scarf we see has color;  Orange polka dots, wasabi greens, bright yellows and a lot of stripes of every hue.  RED LIPSTICK is the color choice of the season in Paris and by no mistake women everywhere I see are wearing red lipstick. Every skin tone color, young and the wiser are sporting the boldness of red. I loved the natural reds; the blushing reds and just the plain drop dead gorgeous matte reds. Three women come in to the café where we are musing and all three are wearing fabulous red lips!! Another stand out is blue eye shadow! Lovely tones of blue eye shadow colors shimmer across our path in all corners of Paris.  With red lips it is a very interesting look and it reminds me of the 1930’s style, but much more modern. I would call it a Modern Vintage Style with a twist of Retro.</p>
<p>We say our goodbye’s and Merci’s to our waiter friends at the café and walk down the street to the Metro to find train 6 to go to Printemps and Galeries Lafayette a shopping paradise in France; a sure shop until you drop wonderland.. We arrive our mouths drop and we get lost in the perfume and cosmetic land on the first floor of the Galeries Lafayette.  We are in cosmetic heaven!</p>
<p>Not all women can where red lipstick or blue eye shadow, nor do they feel comfortable wearing such a strong and bold trend.  But it is fun trying new colors yet keeping it real with your own personality. At The Rouge we take make-up very seriously yet at the same time having fun and suggesting styles that can make you look fresh and updated. We care about your needs and style and we know everyone is different. As fashion comes and go’s we help you choose your own personal and unique style and give you what you need. It just might be fun to stop in and try a red lipstick just to see how red may effect your fashionista swagger.  Have Fun!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Summertime Beauty In The Sun</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why does the skin age from the sun?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">I love the beach and the fresh air and sitting there enjoying my family and friends, watching the waves and smelling all the tropical coconut lotions and Hawaiian suntan oils.<span> </span>That to me is summer, being out in the sun and enjoying longer and warmer days.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Even though we all like to soak up the sun and sit on the beach, skin does age faster if you over do it in the sun. We all know this by now and to use sunscreens if we are out in the sun for long periods of time.<span> </span>But really what does the sun do to our skin when we are exposed to too much sun or when we burn the skin.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the questions my clients ask most often is: “Does the skin on the face age faster than the skin on the rest of the body?” My answer: It appears to. The truth is, it’s the way we treat our skin—not the aging process&#8211;that<span> </span>“ages” facial skin the most.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Scientists explain it this way: There are two types of aging, intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic(internal) aging is the rate of aging that occurs with the passage of time. Extrinsic (external) aging is intrinsic aging compounded by external causes such as <span> </span>sunlight, air pollution, and inflammation caused by harsh cleansers, rough treatments, hard water, and disease processes.<span> </span>Compounding extrinsic damage is the fact that with age your body’s ability to repair itself slows considerably. When we’re 11, our cells can repair themselves nearly perfectly from damage, but from age 20 to age 50 and beyond, the aging process begins to accelerate because we no longer have that ability for perfect repair.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So when you are soaking up the rays of the sun and your skin gets inflamed (sunburned), it is very hard for the skin to repair itself.<span> </span>We see Cellular damage in the form of wrinkles, sun spots and sagging skin.<span> </span>You don’t see the aging process right away but when you reach your 40’s and 50’s you will see visible signs of aging to the surface of the skin.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">ANTIOXIDANTS TO THE RESCUE</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Happily, our skin has allies in its continuing fight against free-radical damage. With technologies in highly advanced skin care, scientist have discovered certain nutrients called antioxidants (a group that includes Vitamin C , amino acids, DMAE and Co-enzymes.) can stop or even reverse free-radical damage caused from too much sun. They will help heal and help repair a good deal of the damage.<span> </span>The best advice I can give you is if you want to look tan buy a good self tanner.<span> </span>Sit in the sun in moderation and use a high grade skin care collection from licensed estiticians. One of the best creams on the market is our very own Face Firming Complex. It is rich in DMAE, Lipoic Acid, Ester-C, and Co-Enzymes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>1.       CAN I USE MY REGULAR FACE MOISTURIZER AROUND MY EYES INSTEAD OF EYE CREAM?</p>
<p>No. The delicate skin around the eyes cannot absorb thick creams therefore it will not nourish or hydrate.  Beware of heavy eye creams they can cause tiny bumps to form underneath the surface of the skin in the eye area.</p>
<p>2.     WHY ARE MY LIPS STILL DRY AND CHAPPED AFTER USING CHAP STICK?</p>
<p>Chap Stick is a protectant. It does not moisturize. Chap Stick is used to protect lips from wind, salt water and cold weather conditions. It’s like wearing Saran Wrap over the lips; the lips are sealed and protected.  Prolonged use will not allow lips to breathe; they get dry, cracked and peel. Vitamin E lip treatments are good for repairing and moisturizing the lips.</p>
<p>3.    I HAVE ACNE SCARS ON MY FACE, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT HEALS THESE SCARS?</p>
<p>Yes, Calendula cream with Vitamin E will help heal scaring.  It is very important to use these products immediately after the scar forms. Scars over a year old are very difficult to heal.</p>
<p>4.  SHOULD I USE A LIQUID FOUNDATION OR A POWDER FOUNDATION?</p>
<p>Liquid foundations will give you more coverage than a powder foundation. It really depends on how much coverage you need.  For younger skin I recommend a pressed Mica powder foundation so the skin looks smooth and natural.  For medium to maximum coverage I recommend a liquid foundation followed by a pressed powder.</p>
<p>5.  WHAT IS THE BEST MASCARA TO USE? WATERPROOF OR LENGTHENING?</p>
<p>Lengthening mascara the best choice because it coats the lashes and dries fast so you can put more coats on for a beautiful thick lash look without looking clumpy. Using waterproof mascara everyday has proven to weaken lashes and plug lash pores causing lashes to fall out.</p>
<p>6.  WHAT IS THE SAFEST WAX FOR EYEBROW WAXING?</p>
<p>Cream waxes are safe and gentle on the skin. It will not take off the skin, burn the skin or move on the skin. Gel (clear) waxes are extremely inexpensive and are notorious for getting too hot then burning the skin.</p>
<p>7. WHAT IS A GOOD SELF-TANNER THAT DOES NOT RUB OFF ON MY CLOTHES?</p>
<p>I highly recommend a clear cream self tanner. It works with your own natural melanin in your skin and it will naturally make you 3 shades darker in less than 2 hours. It looks the most natural and it fades like a tan. Ongrien self-tanner at The Rouge.</p>
<p>8.       AM I TOO OLD TO WEAR LIP-GLOSS?</p>
<p>Wearing gloss is appropriate at any age from 2 to 102. You are never too young or too old to wear gloss.  I like the glosses that have the peptides in it for super hydration and beautiful shine all day long.</p>
<p>9.     WILL SPARKLE EYE SHADOW MAKE MY EYES LOOK OLDER?</p>
<p>Some shimmery eye shadows get caught in the creases of the eye causing the skin to look crepey and older than they look..  When you apply a matte eye color on the eyelid then apply a sparkle over it, it will not get into the lines.  It will look smooth and pretty.</p>
<p>10. WHAT SUNSCREEN CREAM IS BEST FOR MY SKIN?</p>
<p>Using a sunscreen with SPF 25 is plenty.  I find it better to use a foundation with sunscreen in it. Then you can use a good anti-oxidant or anti-aging cream under the foundation to keep the skin hydrated and smooth and for maximum health skin benefits.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Spring Into Confidence</p>
<p>Beauty News For a Shiny New You</p>
<p>“Do you ever feel like a plastic bag drifting through the wind, wanting to start again. These lyrics from Katy Perry’s smash hit song “Firework” is about getting your confidence back, taking chances and feeling strong. When you feel good about yourself, your outlook on life is different. You feel empowered, ready to tackle life’s challenges with the attitude that anything’s possible.</p>
<p>One thing that can help you achieve this confidence is getting the right make-up colors that fit you as an individual. I have witnessed this transformation many times in our beauty boutique with women I help when choosing the right lip color the appropriate foundation and eye colors.  When you have the right make-up your confidence level is lifted, and you are happier knowing that you have the right combination in cosmetics that match your skin perfectly and just for you.</p>
<p>This spring take the challenge and reinvent yourself. It is time to shine, do some spring-cleaning and change some things in your cosmetic wardrobe.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Fresh Eyes</strong></p>
<p>The forecast for spring eyes are fresh, light and cool neutral tones, with little surprises of color. The neutrals this spring come in a wide range of grays tones from silver to matte pale grays. Pair it with some peach tones to add some youthful tint to the eyes. Browns are fine but switch to browns that have some gray undertones to them to give the eyes that nice subtle rich tone. This will also give you an updated and fresh look for spring.  Under eyes add a new twist of color like teal or navy to give your eyes that modern glow.</p>
<p><strong>Couture Lips</strong></p>
<p>Polish your look with long lasting lip shines for your lips. Lips are icy almost nude for a sophisticated yet youthful look this season. Try a nude pink lip color lipstick with a beautiful sparkling nude shimmer pink gloss to finish. There are many so many shades to pick from so you can be original. Be natural and alive. We’re Obsessed!</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Beauty Event</strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">DMAE CREAM</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AN INSTANT ANTI-AGING FACE LIFT</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Go Ahead. Sink your teeth into a delectable chocolate-fudge brownie. Plunge into a cool lake on a hot day. Pamper yourself with a long, sensuous massage. All three experiences promise you fantastic payoff-instant gratification. A surge of pleasure and satisfaction floods your senses seconds after you indulge yourself.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can give your skin the same kind of quick satisfaction. In just about the time it takes you to finish a sinful dessert, DMAE complex can produce a visible and gratifying improvement to the skin. If you’ve shied away from so-called treatments because the very word conjures up visions of spending days carefully applying this and dipping in that until you finally see results, DMAE will change your mind. It’s quick, it’s easy, and it works.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">DMAE is a great little acronym that’s easier to say than the tongue twister dimethylaminoethanol. Mixed in a cocktail with other nutrients like Lipoic acid and Esther C when applied topically, combined with DMAE it will quickly and dramatically improve the appearance of sagging skin. As an added bonus, DMAE boosts the effects of other antioxidants, resulting in increased smoothness, brightness, and line reduction.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">What, exactly, is DMAE? Unlike other antioxidants, DMAE is an antioxidant membrane stabilizer. Because of its unique structure, DMAE actually intersperses and becomes part of the cell plasma membrane. When this occurs, the membrane is more able to resist stress and therefore is stabilized. DMAE also gives protection from free radicals-by preventing the other portions of the cell membrane from being attacked by free radicals, therefore can act as an antioxidant. Thus, DMAE is an antioxidant membrane stabilizer so it prevents breakdown of the cell plasma membrane and the resulting production of arachidonic acid and a bunch of pro-inflammatory mediators. When mixed with other amino acids and nutrients, it has a dramatic firming effect on the skin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Why Your Skin Goes South</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Before we look into how DMAE firms the skin, it is important to understand why skin sags as we get older. Aging, particularly of the face, is characterized by many changes in the skin, including wrinkling, discoloration, mottling, broken blood vessels, and a decrease in radiance. But the face doesn’t show age just because of changes to the skin’s surface. Another very significant factor is the loss of firmness. As we age, the chemicals and nutritional precursors that give muscles that hold the skin maximum tone start to diminish as a result of years of free-radical damage. When a plastic surgeon performs a procedure designed to tighten the skin, he does not really focus on the skin itself as much as on the muscles underneath. He works deep below the skin’s surface, pulling those muscles back into place, suturing them so that they heal in a new position. The overall effect is a more youthful look, because the muscles have recovered their beautiful tone.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">The only way to help reverse the aging process and to stabilize it is to improve your eating habits, exercise at least 3 times a week, have fish once or twice a week and use DMAE internally as well as externally. The result will be better general health and an optimal nutritional environment for the skin.<span> </span><span> </span></p>
