Lierac Goes Goji this Spring with New Initiatic Moisturizers

Introducing a LIERAC Paris Exclusive Complex to boost cellular metabolism and protect mitochondrial DNA

LIERAC Laboratories have created the 1st exclusive complex to prevent and correct early wrinkles and to target aconitase present in mitochondrial DNA. Combining a high-tech peptide with goji fruit extract, new INITIATIC moisturizers help restore optimum cellular metabolism and correct the appearance of early wrinkles.

A recent discovery by the scientists at LIERAC Laboratories has pinpointed mitochondrial dysfunction as a major contributor to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Mitochondria are located in the cell cytoplasm and can be compared to batteries, responsible for producing and distributing the vital energy (ATP=Adenosine TriPhosphate) needed for optimum cellular metabolism. Mitochondria have their own DNA, whose repair systems become run-down when faced with free radicals. The damage caused by these free radicals leads to dysfunction that affects the production of cell energy. This �energy crisis� causes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

LIERAC INNOVATION: AN EXCLUSIVE BIO-BOTANICAL COMPLEX The Bio-Botanical Complex was engineered by fusing a high-tech peptide with the powerful, antioxidant rich goji fruit extract. The pentapeptide consists of 5 amino acids, and is structurally identical to an active fraction of the aconitase enzyme. The aconitase enzyme acts as bodyguard for the mitochondria by stimulating energy production and the protecting mitochondrial DNA.

After sun exposure, mitochondrial DNA is highly damaged; this could lead to the destruction of mitochondria. When the LIERAC peptide is present*, mitochondrial DNA is ideally protected from UVB rays and the mitochondria preserve their integrity. The peptide boosts this enzyme to help stimulate cellular metabolism and protect mitochondrial DNA. (*in vitro tests)

Goji fruit extract, also known as �the fruit of longevity�, has powerful anti-aging properties. LIERAC uses the Lycium Barbarum variety, originating in Tibet. GOJI BERRY:

� Contains the highest antioxidant value on the ORAC scale (Oxygen Radical Absorbancy Capacity.) � Boasts 400 times more Vitamin C than oranges. � Is rich in 21 trace elements (phosphorus, iron, zinc, selenium, copper,) Vitamins B1, B2, B6, E, and 18 amino acids.

The peptide helps to actively fight against the premature appearance of the visible signs of skin aging by protecting mitochondrial DNA. It also increases the production of energy necessary for optimum cell activity. Its actions are reinforced by the high energizing and antioxidant action of the goji fruit.

TWO FORMULAS, EFFECTIVE RESULTS INTIATIC FLUID This lightweight formula is ideal for normal to combination skin and delivers a long-lasting matte finish. Freesia petals and red tea give it a delicate scent. Key Ingredients: � 3% Bio-Botanical Complex: High-tech peptide + Goji Fruit Extract � 5% Botanical Moisturizing Complex: Botanical Polysaccharide + Botanical Glycerin � 0.5% Botanical Agent mattifies

INITIATIC CREAM This creamy and ultra-hydrating formula is ideal for normal to dry skin. Freesia petals and red tea give it a delicate scent. Key Ingredients: � 3% Bio-Botanical Complex: High-tech peptide + Goji Fruit Extract � 5% Botanical Moisturizing Complex: Botanical Polysaccharide + Botanical Glycerin � 2% Camellia Oil nourishes and softens � 1% Shea Butter repairs

NO PARABENS, NO PHENOXYETHANOL RESULTS** A genuine concentration of energy and protection, this complex helps revive and stimulate mitochondrial activity for skin that looks visibly better toned. The appearance of the visible signs of aging is reduced, the formation of early wrinkles is delayed, the skin appears smooth and moisturized, and the complexion is simply radiant. **Clinical studies pending.

INITIATIC ($48 each) will be available APRIL 2011 at select physicians office, online and at Duane Reade Look Boutiques. Available in May 2011 at European Skincare Centers in select CVS/pharmacy. http://www.lierac-usa.com/, http://www.beauty.com/ http://www.skinstore.com/ 1-877-5-LIERAC

REVIEW

I have used many exfoliators in my life time. A lot are abrasive and either make my face break out, or really irritate it. I have had a couple that have permanently ruin my skin.
As we age, our face skin is not as thick as it was when we were younger. Therefore the harsh scrubs scratch you skin and leaving on my face broken capillaries.
When I saw Jan Marini had a exfoliator, I checked out the ingredients and the main one is a unique dissolving bead! I was excited to try it out and I can say "I love this exfoliator"!

No matter what skin type you have it is important to occasionally get the outer dry skin cells off. This product is gentle yet very effective.
I have been using it 2 to 3 times a week for the last couple weeks without problem! I use it in the evening after washing my face.
I apply it and massage into my skin for 15 seconds and then rinse off with a wash cloth. It does say that " Mild stinging or tingling may occur". I have not felt any stinging but more of the tingling. Like the product is really working!
This leaves my face feels like baby skin, very refreshed and refined!

There are many products out there and many exfoliators are very rough to the skin. This one is strong enough for any skin type but will leave your skin healthy and fresh. I Highly recommend!
Now if I could find something to get rid of the broken capillaries!

Unique Carotenoid Blend Fuels Complete Reform, Murad�s Latest Anti-Aging Powerhouse

Unique Carotenoid Blend Fuels Complete Reform, Murad�s Latest Anti-Aging Powerhouse

Murad Launches Two New Anti-Aging Offerings That Help Reveal Younger Looking Skin Through Innovative Ingredients and Distinctive Technologies

Murad, Inc. has announced the launch of Complete Reform with Glyco Firming Complex, the latest powerhouse anti-aging treatment product in the company�s award-winning Age Reform line.

Howard Murad, M.D.�s continued research into internal skincare led to the development of Complete Reform, which utilizes the power of Murad�s proprietary carotenoid blend. Fortified from green, leafy vegetables, and colorful fruits, Complete Reform harnesses the strength of carotenoids like Beta Carotene, a Retinol precursor to fight fine lines and wrinkles, as well as Astaxanthin, a natural free-radical scavenger. Together, these ingredients protect skin against the onslaught of environmental damage and other natural aggressors that can weaken skin and accelerate skin�s aging, causing individuals to look older than their natural age.

�Aging is a fact of life, but looking your age is not,� said Howard Murad, M.D., FAAD, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA and founder of Murad, Inc. �Through years of research and promoting the necessity of internal skincare, I have found that the internal and topical benefits of carotenoids found in fruits and vegetables can greatly improve the look, texture and stability of skin.�

�Complete Reform�s unique and exclusive carotenoid blend makes the product stand alone from the competition,� said Jeff Murad, Vice President, Product Development. �As the next generation of defense for the skin, these powerful ingredients scavenge for free radicals and act as a bullet-proof vest for the cells, aiding in instant skin protection and long-term resilience.�
Providing immediate and long-term results, Complete Reform provides an arsenal of advanced and dynamic anti-aging ingredients; the proprietary Glyco Firming Complex preserves skin�s youthful resilience while Glycolic Acid aides in exfoliation for smoother and more even toned skin. After just one application, skin firmness can increase by 61%.

Sold as a stand-alone retail product, Complete Reform also rounds out Murad�s new Complete Skin Renewal Kit, featuring a 1.5 ounce Refreshing Cleanser, top-seller Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture in 0.25 ounces, the new Complete Reform in 0.33 ounces, and the Perfecting Day Cream SPF 30 in 0.7 ounces. The kit provides all the products necessary for a day and nighttime anti-aging skincare regimen, using Murad�s simple, three-step cleanse, treat, and hydrate/protect system.

Complete Reform ($67) and the Complete Skin Renewal Kit ($42.50) are currently available at http://www.murad.com/, the Murad Inclusive Health Spa and the Murad Inclusive Health Medical Group. Beginning mid-March 2011, both items will be available for purchase at Sephora, Sephora inside JC Penny, Ulta, Dillards, Massage Envy locations and leading salons and spas across the country.

Murad, Inc. was founded in 1989 by Howard Murad. M.D., one of the world's foremost authorities on health care and a pioneer of the clinical skincare movement. Dr. Murad is a practicing physician at the Murad Inclusive Health Medical Group in El Segundo, Calif. where he pioneered the Inclusive Health approach to optimal living.

Getting ready for ISSE Long Beach included @MichaelBoychuck and @ColorSalonLV

To start telling you about ISSE starts for me months ahead. I first apply to attend as press. Than I wait about a week to get the ok. I could attend as either a visitor or press. I like to attend the shows to bring back information to my readers and friends, which I do with this site.




Let's start in December.

Living in Vegas is a wonderful place with beautiful people and beautiful families. I love it here.

For the past 20 years I have been searching for him. No not my husband, my hair stylist.

One rule is I don't do my hair and I have tried many many salons on the outskirts of the strip. I never thought about going to the strip to have my hair colored and cut and styled.

Every where I went my hair cut always ended up looking freaky or like the stylist herself. And when I have it colored, no one has the time or patience to color my hair. They loose it because of the amount of hair I have and when I walk out of the salons my color is orange. I have been searching for the one that gives a dam about me! You can spend a full all day in the salon, I haven't. I have never felt comfortable and when I look at my hair, I want to run out the door and go put a towel over my head.

I just stopped going for the last year, I gave up. Until I saw a tweet about him. We all need him or her, the one that cares about the person in the chair.

So after 20 years I found him and them. The man that I can say do it and I know he cares about me and his work. For Him to be able to say with pride, after finishing " wow this looks great! To be proud and not embarrassed that he or she did my hair.

Introducing, My new stylist and my new friend that oh so cared about my hair as soon as he saw me, meet Mr Michael Boychuck



Michael has 3 salons in Vegas,Color at Caesars Palace, Primp Salon at Palms Place and Amp Salon at the Palms.

http://www.michaelboychuck.com/index.php





After I found him online, I searched, read and had heard many great things about his salons. I went Color Salon. The name says it all.

I walked into his beautiful upscale salon greeted by the nicest woman. The salon is all white, and very clean. They offer many services, take a look at the link above.

They sat me down and offered me something to drink. I was a bit nervous, not about getting my hair done, but about meeting Michael. He is an artist to many which include Paris Hilton. Paris I have to say has beautiful hair. He is also the colorist to many beautiful woman, these woman will only let Michael touch their hair.

As I sat there, I looked in the corner of my eye, heart racing, because there he was.

He greeted me with a big smile. If you know or have seen Michael, when he smiles, wow dimples. His face lights up and he has the best smile. Simply Adorable. How could someone so adorable be so talented.



He sat me in my chair and I told him my experience of the dreaded orange hair and weird cuts. He said No this will not happen. You want blonde we will do blonde.

First he did the crown of my head to tone it down. Really fast and easy. His assistant took me to the bowl to rinse, back to blow dry. She is so cute with a personality to match.

He came back and said oh this is going to look beautiful. Highlights next and a full head. Yikes what was he going to say about the amount of hair? Will he be like the rest and I'll be orange.

Then the foils and color came. Michael is a pro and the foils did go faster than I thought. Here is a picture in of us-




He took his time but because this is his experience he move fast.

About 1/2 way though he did mention about all my hair, Only cause they had to mix up another bowl of color. I think he said he used 4 with me and the norm is one or two .I'm so sorry I told him, are your arms or back hurting?

Nope, not at all he said. He said he was fine.

He was just about done with the color. Man I didn't want it to end. He was very gentle and oh so sweet. He did tell me my hair was going to look great.

He finished the color and his lovely assistant brought the dryer to me. "What, I don't have to walk though the salon to a dryer"! Nice. And the dryer fit around my head full of foil, that has never happen. About 20-30 minutes they escorted me to the bowl for a rinse and a treatment. I was anxious to see as they where saying how good it looked.

After the amazing Kerastase professional hair treatment,I sat in a chair where a very pretty lady comb out and asked about the cut. I looked at her and said go ahead and cut but leave me the length. Do what is best for my face shape. She cut and shaped it. Oh No! The color, I quickly got my glasses on and looked as she was drying my hair.

I just about started crying. My hair, No orange and has the most beautiful blonde colors. He didn't make my hair orange. The colors looks absoulty amazing.

She styled it after cutting. Hmm, usually I get it styled and start messing with it because I don't like the style. Nope not now. She styled to my liking. During the cut and style, Michael did come by to look at the color. I think he was a proud papa. I couldn't thank him enough. I thanked everyone there. Others sitting did comment on my hair too.

I got up, tipped, yes yes always tip when you are this happy.

They all deserved it. They treated me like a princess and my hair.

No complaints about my thick hair, no orange color and a cut to match my blonde hair.

I have found my second home. My new colorist and stylist. I should have found them years ago but I didn't look in the right direction.

I do keep tweeting Michael that I will be back.

Color salon had made it so I could attend ISSE and not be embarrassed. I adore them and so did the many people who asked about the color and cut at ISSE.

I want to thank you Michael for the wonderful time and the blonde hair. You are an artist and quite the best one. Your staff is the top in Vegas. I highly recommend anyone to go try the Color salon. You will not regret it.



Now to prepare for my trip to Long Beach. I went and had a great time. Now you want to know more about ISSE and the newest prodcuts and services you can receive from your stylist, or some that should be at your salon, skincare hairtools and more. To find more about it ISSE check here

I don't like to take my own picture. looking for a brfore photo isn't happining. Just picture brown and grey and long and thick. Here is the after

Notes. During the color we did talk. I'm an over talker, and now I look back and hope I didn't chew his ear off. He was going to do Paris Hiltons hair the next day. He said she is a lovely lady and has a heart. She is very much involved with helping animals. She had adopted a little dog last time she was is Vegas.

If you read Michael's tweets you will see he is an animal lover. Him and his wife do have a couple of dogs too. He does tweet story's about animal abuse. If you only knew where your puppy came from that you bought at a pet store. Google puppy mills. They are horrible, disgusting people who don't take care of the animals. Please don't buy from a store, go to your local pound.

INTRODUCING NEW VELVET GLOSS LIP PENCILS AND FILM!

You�ve heard the buzz about them � you�ve seen the stars wearing them...Introducing NARS� new Velvet Gloss Lip Pencils!

Julianna Margulies' Hairstylist Spills on How He Got Her 2011 Golden Globes Look

Julianna Margulies� braided chignon looked great at the Golden Globes on Sunday night! Read on for tips from hairstylist Matthew Monzon on how to get the look:



�We wanted to go with something simple, chic, and somewhat understated. We started off with clean damp hair. I took Leonor Greyl S�rum de Soie Sublimateur and worked it into the hair through the ends. Then, I blow-dried straight with a round brush to give some volume through the top. Once dry, I pulled the hair back into a low ponytail and secured with a bungee-band and did a fishtail braid to create a bit of texture and interest to the chignon. Once finished with the braid I wrapped the braid and pinned it into a chignon and finished off the look with Elnet hairspray.�
