Hello Gorgeous!I hope you are enjoying the new format of the web series for the videos. Makeup University is now showing a 3 segment video focusing on beauty/health/positive self esteem versus the one segment on one particular item.Now, as of yesterday I have started the before and after photos for my 3 week test of the eyelash growing serum from Obagi Medical.
This eyelash rejuvenating serum is to grow in sparse lashes and thicken, then lengthen the ones that you already have. So enjoy this rather haunting and garish photo of my nose and look past it to see my eyelashes. Those are washed clean, free of makeup and ready for a ‘before photo’! Another photo in a week, then again on the second and final on the third week of using the serum. Why so much? Because 21 days is a cycle of the skin and hair.

Our bodies are exposed to toxins every day thanks to the polluted air we breathe, the hormone-injected foods we eat, and even the chemical-filled products we slather on our bodies. So it’s logical that we should periodically cleanse our bodies from the inside out. But the question is: Which detox diet is right for you? We followed one editor as she tried a one-day plan. Read about her experience here.

Hey there gorgeous!
I love a peel and doing at home spa treatments and with the power packed in these wee bottles you will get a spa like result using the Murad Intensive Resurfacing Peel with Durian Cell Reform.
For me personally-the summer swim season is winding down with only one last hurrah at Sunsplash left it’s time for me to start treating my sun scorched skin. I’m starting with this set of at home peels by Murad. 4 come in the box-and I have already used one-it had a wee bit of sting but a lovely scent and personally, if it stings a bit it must be working! Or I have slightly sunburned skin? Either way, I am looking forward to next week’s tube ‘o’treatment! The Fall season is well under way here in Arizona and what better way to get back to school than a series of planned at home pampering for your skin to be yearbook photo ready!

Hello Gorgeous!
Do you have naturally curly hair?
How about you have permed hair and need
amazing, natural conditioner to shape the
newly ammonia’nized ringlets?
Maybe you just have naturally wavy hair
like mine that is curly on the neck part but
straight on the top?
Doesn’t matter if you have curly hair at all-
maybe your’s is just dry and you want a natural
leave in conditioner to apply to your damp hair.
See the top picture of the blue bottle is the actual
Kosher Kurls product-and the yellow squeezy
tube is the sample you get for free when you
log on to the http://www.kosherkurls.com/ website.
Now, we have seen many a photos of me and my hair, so to help demonstrate the effectiveness
of the product I have enlisted model help from
another naturally curly haired woman.
We shall call her, ‘Model A’-with her African American curls freshly washed, she squeezed
a small amount of Kosher Kurls into her palm, then rubbed them together to make an emulsion
and pressed and schmooshed into her hair.
The scent is light, non lingering, and the product absorbed into the hair, leaving a light shine with defined curls. Or so says Model A!
Now don’t just take my word for it-order a sample for yourself! I used it during the very humid monsoon season here in August in Arizona and it gave some shape to my fluffy unruly wavy hair and for Model A-it gave these defined curls as shown in the photo to the left. I’m a Kurlfriend now, and won’t you be my ‘Kurlfriend’ too?
As always, I love to hear from you- so comment away!

Hey Gorgeous! It’s the final day of the XP Media Fest and wow, was that ever awesome!
I made a wee video in between sessions and I hope you enjoy.
Now, as for the skin peel mask I tested for this vlog review-it’s a Guthy Renker brand called Meaningful Beauty that has hired Cindy Crawford the former 80′s super model to spokesmodel for the line. I tried the Skin Renewing Mask which is a Lactic Acid based mask and I had good results. No stinging, some light retexturizing on my cheeks when I rinsed off the mask and over all, I had a good experience.
Now, I have noticed online that there are many complaints and challegnes with the ordering process for Meaningful Beauty-so please be careful and take good caution when ordering online or over the phone. Many times, the orders are processed through a clearing house and there is room for error. Just do your due diligence before ordering-good luck!
