Still Blonde small Chief Blonde Remarks:

OH BOY!  Did I have fun putting FAKE BAKE Self-Tanning Mousse product on? Oh yes, I did!  It is a super-light foam mousse which was easy to apply and went on evenly.  Now anybody who knows me knows my skin color is nauseatingly very pale, the kind where people are always asking, “Are you ill? Why don’t you get some sun?”  Well, I have tried self-tanners in the past and just never really stick with them.  Some get yuck all over my clothes, some make my skin l ook like a zebra they are so streaky, some wash off in no time.  I found FAKE BAKE Mousse had none of these qualities.  FAKE BAKE mousse was a pleasant shade for my pale pale skin–helping me to have some summer glow but it was ONE even color, which is so pleasant.  When I finished, nothing got on my clothes and the mousse seemed to have a staying power!  Wow!  And did I mention the fun to apply Application?  I loved watching my skin transform to something with a nice healthy color!  I recommend Fake Bake Mousse and their other line on self Tanning products.  As someone who is a STRONG advocate for protecting yourself when you are in the sun (see our blog post here on Melanoma  http://stillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/2010/05/giveway-50-summer-must-have-bracelet-melanoma-awareness-women-over-45/),  I can’t recommend a better way to get that healthy summer glow without the harmful rays of the sun!  Yipee!  Plus I think they have the most hilarious slogan–Fake Bake–Live the Lie!

Kymaro Sunless Tanning System: Other sunless tanning products leave uneven, orange streaks due to improper application.

Skin Authority Product Review–2010 Mother’s Day Gift Guide

[ 1 ] May 2, 2010
GO! LOVE FOR MOMS
Skin Authority Launches the Perfect Love Potion for Your Skin 
 Chocolate, roses and singing cards are passé when it comes to honoring that special Mom for Mother’s’s Day. The newest go-to gift to please the apple of your eye, or yourself, is GO! Love. Plus, it’s easy on your wallet too!


“Show your sweetie that you love their skin by helping them keep it young and radiant,” said Celeste Hilling, CEO of the must-have skin care line Skin Authority. “GO! Love will become your love’s new best friend because, from planes to trains, it can go anywhere. Plus, GO! Love contains four powerful products that create that ‘new romance’ glow.”

 GO! Love is the gift that keeps on giving. This 21-day supply of four products is all that your darling diva needs to look glam. GO! Love contains exfoliants, antioxidants, peptides and sun protection to reveal younger, firmer skin immediately. Packaged so perfectly it doesn’t need wrapping, GO! Love contains everything needed to cleanse, treat, hydrate and protect skin daily in handy travel sizes.

Kit includes:  Daily Cleanser, 0.7 fl oz; Resurfacing Accelerator, 0.7 fl oz; Tri-Power Peptide Hydrator, 0.7 fl oz; Sunscreen Moisturizer SPF 30 UVA 4-Stars, 0.7 fl oz.
Even sweeter? When purchasing the new GO! Love Kit, free phone and web support is provided by Skin Authority’s certified skin care professionals. GO! Love is available exclusively from www.skinauthority.com and through more than 150 Authorized Spa Partners. The kit sells for $52 USD )

About Skin Authority
Skin Authority is the leading skin care lifestyle company. Through professional guidance and coaching, powerful and pure products, and profound professional treatment experiences, Skin Authority helps individuals make healthy choices daily to ensure a lifetime of youthful, radiant skin. Skin Authority is available exclusively at more than 150 leading spa partners as well as online through www.skinauthority.com.

Chief Blonde Remarks:  I have never used anything on my face to remove my make-up except water…There I said it.  NOTHING.   Why? Because everything makes my face break out in pure irritaiton.  So when I agreed to try the Skin Authority GO! Love Kit..I thought, OH great, another break-out.  Guess what?  Not true.  I have been faithfully using these products for three weeks and I love them.  Really.


As I aged, the water no longer cleaned my pores and my rosecea (a skin condition common in people with fair peaches and cream skin) was more and more prominent.  When I used the Skin Authority Daily Cleanser, my skin did not break out, my rosecea did not get worse, in fact, it got better.  In addition, when I used the Resurfacing Accelerator, I flel a slight burning and tingling as the package said I would, but I just stuck to everyday use as they suggested.  My skin really does look and feel nicer.  I loved the Tri-Power Peptide Hydrator for soothing my skin after the Resurfacing Accelerator.  Ahh.  I can finally use a skin care product and it actually works.  I am sincerely looking forward to trying other products in the line.  Oh, did I mention, it’s not smelly at all.  No disgusting over abundance of fragrance.

Here’s a couple more things about Skin Authority that I loved.  When I got a little confused about how to use the products, I called their 1-800 number and the skin care coach on the line  really knew her products.  She got me on the right path.  After you use the products, for three weeks, they email you and “check” in with you to see how you are doing and if you have any questions.  Neat?  REAL CUSTOMER SERVICE– talking to a person who understands the product.  Also, their packaging and enclosures were super helpful.  They were laid out clearly and were actually fun to read.   I am very very impressed with Skin Authority’s GO love package, would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it for Mother’s day, and I hope to try more products in their line for Mature Sensitive skin like mine (and probably yours!)
Blog Note:  I received a Product Sample for review, I was not compensated, the opinions are my own!

Beauty Bad Deals–What works and Doesn’t– Women over 45!

[ 0 ] March 19, 2010
Shop Smart helps us to Decide what Beauty Deals to Avoid
The chief Blogger received a review sample of this Magazine and was quite impressed.  Here’s a sampling of their honest advice.  I was glad to read it–there was some items that I had been considering buying–but won’t now!
Frizzy hair, skinny lips, skimpy lashes, lumpy thighs – for every dilemma, there’s a product that’s claimed to solve it. But many don’t, and lots of us have been suckered into buying stuff that doesn’t work. The March 2010 issue of ShopSmart, from the publishers of Consumer Reports, gives us the lowdown on bad beauty deals:
Lash Growers
Lash growers are regulated by the FDA as drugs. (Latisse is FDA approved, but ShopSmart doesn’t recommend it because of risks.) You’ll still see plenty of other “lash lengtheners” on the market though. Some have been issued warning letters by the FDA because they contain drugs.
ShopSmart says Stick with mascara. Lancôme Définicils, $24, was top-rated in their last test.
Hair Smoothers
Ads for Brazilian Keratin Treatment (BKT), a popular salon technique, claim that it leaves hair smooth and healthy-looking for months. But a main ingredient in BKT is formaldehyde, a probable carcinogen that is not banned by the FDA in hair straighteners.
ShopSmart says Try a straightening iron. They like Revlon Perfect Heat Ceramic RVST2001C, $30.
Lip Plumpers
The results for lip plumpers were unimpressive for increasing lip volume, though some, including products from Clinique and DuWop, temporarily smoothed lip lines a little.
ShopSmart says Try makeup tricks instead. Line your lips with pencil just outside your natural lip line, then dot highlighter just above the upper lip and just below the lower lip. If you want a more permanent pout, see a cosmetic surgeon for temporary injections.
Scar Eliminators
No product can completely eliminate a scar or stretch marks.
ShopSmart says See a dermatologist. Certain laser treatments can reduce redness and smooth skin so scars are less noticeable.
Bust Boosters
There are no ingredients that have been scientifically proven to enhance or firm the bust.
ShopSmart says Use a moisturizer or bust cream if your décolletage needs softening. Or try a push-up bra or bra inserts, aka “chicken cutlets.”
Under-Eye-Circle Erasers
Many products promise to erase under-eye circle, but they’re hard to treat due to enlarged veins and very thin skin under the eyes.
ShopSmart says Some eye creams with caffeine can offer temporary help for puffiness. If the problem is allergy-related, try antihistamines or topical hydrocortisone cream. You can also see your dermatologist for cosmetic surgery.
Double-Chin Slimmer
A $20 infomercial gadget called the Neckline Slimmer promises to eliminate a double chin with resistance exercise, but the device mainly exercises neck-flexor muscles that have nothing to do with a double chin.
ShopSmart says Try losing some weight or see a cosmetic surgeon. A scarf might also do the trick.
Bloggers Note:   credit for information: March 2010 issue of ShopSmart.  Blogger recieved a review copy of magazine and quoted material she thought was interesting.
