Luxe vs. Less Skin Care

Find out what products to splurge on and when to save your hard-earned dollars

You don’t have to spend half your paycheck on skincare products to stay wrinkle and pimple-free. That said, slathering household condiments on your face to avoid paying for the good stuff isn’t necessary either. Dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban and P&G scientist Mary Begovic Johnson helped us compare products with similar ingredients that are very different in cost. Here’s what we found. See products

You possibly are seeing bright yellows and coral oranges in clothing, shoes and makeup. No worries! You too can wear this! The secret is one piece at a time.
Yellow skirt with black top works. Yellow shoes with jeans and a multi print shirt works! Yellow eye shadow through the crease with a soft shimmer pale beige, works!

The coral is going to look better the more tan you are. Try using the slow tanners such as Dove Energy Glow or for your face use Jergens Natural Glow foam.
Coral gloss with nude liner is perfect for day or with deep black kohl liner to go out in.

Remember, to add pieces that are trendy, buy the least expensive kind so in two months when it is out of style it doesn’t hurt to pass it to the Salvation Army. I like N.Y.C., Rimmel, even Wet-n-Wild brands for adding a current trend color at a budget respecting price.

For clothes, pick up some Taylor Swift with R.E.I. at Walmart or the Issac Mizrahi at Target and right now on sale at Payless are a great pair of bright yellow patent flats, which are so summer ready!
Finally, if all this yellow and coral scare you, why not put it on a pedicure where a toe or two peep out of your shoes?

Okay, now all of that is from the website, and a link is available for you to click through to find out more about this product.
I like it! I have after four days of continued use, while also exfoliating madly with my Biore Skin Preservation scrub I have a nice subtle tan on my face that when I use a bronzer over it, I look naturally tan! The sun kind of tan!

Now my feet is another story. I never seem to get it right around the ankles. Oh well, that’s what a pedicure is for.
Enjoy the daily beauty bit, and try the Jergens foaming Natural Glow self tanner. I’m fair skinned with freckles and it looks good on me.

One thing I did note about the product is that like other self tanners for the body, this product does not smell like “self tanner”.

Enjoy! You can find it at mass retailers near you or get it off the web!

A rare Sunday post from me…since there is so much news to review and report!
For me personally, Sunday is the Lord’s day of rest and the same goes for me and my family.
First I would like to personally thank each and every one of you for your amazing, generous and impromptu support at the Bogey’s fashion show featuring Briana Linea with HMU being provided by Ohana (an Aveda concept salon), videographer services by Daniel Baker ( tee hee…no relation), Tom on the mix and still photography from Chinh Pham.
It was a late night for me, and worth it. The dynamic of working with a band ( Straight from Scratch featuring Bryan on vox, Ladd on bass and Andrew on drums) and hearing them play a song, with the models walking, then me announcing the details, and now another song, and more models, and more announcing, was just fun! Special thanks to Benjamin Moline Entertainment and Brittney for the production coordination. As soon as I get photos from this…you’ll be the first to see!
Second, again, my deepest thanks and appreciation to the friends who helped make today possible! Tempe Marketplace sponsored the GSN: Game Show Network on air host search today. Fred Roggin and Alfonso Ribiera were on site as well as COX communications to support the channel 145 programming.
There were 5 of us, which to me seemed like a low turnout, but then again, maybe it’s not? It was very hot, and very windy; so windy that the props kept blowing over. I had seven minutes on stage to ask 3 contestants a series of questions in the game format of “That’s a Fact Jack”. It went well in my opinion but I did not get selected to move onto the next round. Amy says I was robbed. Well, maybe. Though I figure that what is mine is mine and I’ll get what is due me.
Honestly, I’m not much of a game show watcher or even game host? Okay, maybe video games! Around here, we watch a lot of Noggin. Don’t know Noggin? You must not have a pre-schooler because that is exactly what it is: television for preschoolers.
Oh? Pictures you say? Nope. Not one. I need a new camera. I’m thinking of passing the proverbial plate on the web to raise donations to buy a new camera or video camera ( I saw something for a hundred bucks at Best Buy ) so I can take my own photos while I’m out and about. I do have a very old camera that works occasionally, but since it is not reliable I don’t usually bring it.
Finally, I thank you one more time. Your support means the world to me. Now, word is that Amy is interested in joining me on the Ducati shoot meaning: she’s Sophia and I’m Gina. That’s going to be interesting!
I’ll post pics as I get ‘em!
