It already too hot to get even hotter so I chosen Cooling type

This product is used for not only killing your fat cells but like body lotion it helps your body skin to recover and message it.

See how much fat cells disappear?

That's what I want from this product! NO FAT CELLS! XD

It's a nice pumping type

I love the Cool feeling

The Jell texture... hmm it's very hard to explain

I've used a lot of jell textured cream and stuff

However this jelly feels very different

It has it's own unique feeling I can't really explain in words

When you pump the jell comes out like bubbles

as you massage it nicely on your skin there was some cracking sound

following with a very cool feeling that I was so surprised.

This Jell doesn't absorb into your skin immediately 

It feels like it first makes a light layer around your skin 

and then slowly melts into your skin

After the jell has been absorbed

I can feel extreme cool feeling that feels so good!

I like to apply this jell right after I workout

The cooling really get the heat off

And PLUS

You don't need to wash it off!

If you don't workout you can apply it after you take a shower at night

apply it and go to sleep feeling cool~ and your skin feeling soft~

Summer 2010 Favourite Products

Sadly, today is the last day of Summer *sob sob* and to cheer up, I decided to go through my make up collection and see which products I have used most during this summer. I will divide the products in categories such as face, body, etc... and here they are!

Body

This summer, I had a very nasty eczema attack all over my body and so I had to drink loads more water and I was using Glysolid, Dermofardi and Lavender Essential oil to bathe with followed by Sudocrem and Vaseline to keep my skin from getting dry and itchy. Thankfully, my skin is a lot better now and I hope it fully recovers soon!

On to some more interesting stuff... As a body scrub, I was using one I got from Corfu last year. I really love this scrub and I am a bit sad I used it all up. You can read a full review about it here. As for a body lotion, I was using this cheapy one which I really love the scent of... Vanilla Yoghurt! I'm such a sucker for everything vanilla! It feels silky smooth, smells good enough to eat, and leaves my skin feeling soft and supple (even with the bad eczema rash I had!). I switched this body lotion for my Hawaiian Tropic after sun each time I returned home from a day at the beach.

I have been really good to my footsies this summer by treating them to a mini pedi daily with some School Footcare products: Rough Skin Remover, Callus & Hard Skin Reducing Cream and also a Cracked Heel Repair Cream . As for depilation, I used Veet cold wax strips for legs which leave me hair-free for 4 whole weeks!

To keep my perspiration in check, I use Nivea Double Effect deodorant and during summer, I like to use different perfumes. My favourites for this summer were Christina Aguilera, Hugo Boss Orange, Guerlain Insolence and Kate Moss Velvet Hour.

Hair

Summer + hair is not a really good equation especially here in Malta where we have a very humid climate. I do not blow dry my hair during summer but I tend to use more styling products than usual to keep fly aways and frizz at bay. I use Angel treatment to restore moisture as well as a heat protector and UV protector together with some gel and a good highly moisturizing pair of shampoo and conditioner.

*Make-up Time :D*

Face

In summer, I tend not to wear any foundation to let my sun tan show and also let my skin breathe. I use a very rich moisturizer like Nivea Visage Stay Matte or Oil of Olay Beauty Fluid. I also treat my face to a weekly face mask by Montagne Jeunesse to deep clean and restore moisture levels. Should I have any minor break-outs, I treat them with Effaclar A.I. by La Roche Posay.

I still use my Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer in 103 Soft Honey and set it with my elf Studio Complexion Perfection. I then apply a rosy blusher (my choice is Rimmel Powder Blush in 004 Pink Rose) and contour/highlight with some elf Studio Warm Bronzer. I keep my face looking matte all day by blotting any oil with elf Professional Shine Erasers.

Eyes

Summer calls for a good primer to prevent the eyeshadow from fading or creasing, so I bought my first ever Eyelid Primer from elf cosmetics and which I am very fond of (well actually, I am fond of all my elf possessions!) My favourite eye shadows for summer were the bright ones in the Deborah stories palette and my Cover Girl trio Cafe au lait for everyday natural looks. To really elevate my eyes to a whole new level, I use black waterproof mascara from elf (Earth & Water) or Rimmel 100% Waterproof (which I ran out of). A flick of Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black by elf cosmetisc seals the deal and their Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear mascara makes my brows look polished and pulled together.

Lips

Lips don't have sweat glands so I keep mine moisturized with The Body Shop Born Lippy passion Berry lipbalm. When heading out during the day, I like to use elf's Super Glossy Lip Shines with SPF15 for a just-seen sheen and protection against the sun's rays. I like neutral colours on my lips and my favourite lipsticks are Maybelline Water Shine in 02 Cocoa Shake and Deborah Rosetto 24 Ore in 13 Creamy. I like to layer some L'Oreal Glam Shine Crystals lipgloss in 301 Coral Strass over my Maybelline lipstick. I am actually on the look out for a due of the Maybelline lipstick as I think they have renamed the shade or maybe they don't do it anymore (if so it is such a pity!). Another favourite lipgloss is my Napoleon Perdis Protege Lipgloss. I love its coral colour and minty taste!

Nails

In summer, I like to wear bright colours on my both my toe-nails and finger-nails. Here's my choice of colours:

Medium Red, Lilac and Mint Cream by elf cosmetics

Shocker, Pompous and Silver Bullet by Rimmel 60 Seconds

Into the Sunset by Maybelline Wet Shine Diamonds

To prevent my nails from becoming stained with polish, I always use a clear base coat (elf clear nail polish), then I finish with some Elegant Touch glossy top coat and nourish my nails with some Revlon Cuticle Moisture Oil.

To instantly upgrade my polish with some nail art, I use Nailene's Bedazzle Earth Angel or Superstar nail stickers... great for when I don't have time to do a free-hand design.

To file my nails, I use these fierce-looking nail files from Peacocks. They are not fierce at all on my nails as they have a very gentle grit.

 

So, these were all my Summer 2010 Favourite Products! I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to seeing yours! Should you want me to review any of the items, don't hesitate to let me know! I linked the reviews of products which I have already reviewed. So, there's nothing left for me to say, except bye bye Summer, hello Autumn and we'll wait and see which new trends the new season will bring with it!

The skin...what is it exactly?

Hello my beauties and welcome to the first 'proper' blog post!

I in this post I will be explaining what our skin is and how it carries out its functions. I think this is an important topic since if you understand how the skin works you will be in a better position to take optimum care of it...with rewarding results :). So, ladies I encourage you to read on...

The skin is the largest organ in the body and it covers and protects each and every underlying tissue and organ from bacterial invasion. It covers an area of around 1.2 - 2 metres squared and accounts for 12% of our total body weight.

Even during our sleep, the skin is continually working to help protect and regulate body processes to keep us healthy. Therefore it is important to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night...it is not called a beauty sleep for nothing! If the skin's natural protective functions are distorted, problems will arise.

Throughout our body, skin varies in thickness, being thicker in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Thick skin is called glabrous skin and is characterised by a greater number of tactile nerve endings, an absence of hair follicles and sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands) and also a thicker epidermis. It is thinner on the lips and eyelids...hence the delicateness of these areas. Thickened skin occurs due to friction and pressure as well as exposure. Cold sensations contract the skin whilst warm sensations relax it.

The skin is made up of 3 layers:

• Epidermis
• Dermis
• Sub-cutaneous fat

The epidermis

This is the uppermost layer of the skin also known as the superficial layer. It protects the deeper living tissues from bacterial invasion and harm from the external environment. The epidermis receives nourishment from a liquid known as interstitial fluid. The epidermis can be divided into 5 layers, namely (top to bottom):

• Stratum Corneum ~ consists mainly of dead, flat flakes or keratin. These flakes are shed through a process known as desquamation. The life span of epithelial cells is between 32 and 36 days and about half of this time is spent in this layer.

• Stratum Lucidum ~ as the name suggests, this layer has a clear, almost transparent appearance. It is only a few cells thick and it is a water barrier zone. A clear substance called eledin fills the spaces between the cells in this layer.

• Stratum Granulosum ~ this layer is made up of living cells and as they move upwards, they are converted to keratin in a process known as keratinisation.

• Stratum Spinosum ~ known as the prickle cell layer due to the prickle-like threads that join the cells together.

• Stratum Basale ~ the deepest layer of the epidermis and cells receive their nourishment from the dermis and they are living cells. When skin is superficially damaged, it is repaired in this layer. In this layer, we find specialised cells called melanocytes. These cells secrete brown pigment called melanin and its production is controlled partly by genetic factors and part hormonal secretions. The function of melanin is to protect us from UV radiation injury and the more exposure, the more pigment is produced, that's why we tan in summer! One in every ten cells of the basal layer is a melanocyte. Absence of melanin gives rise to a condition known as albinism whose sufferers cannot stay in the sun due to totally white hair and skin & also pink eyes with poor vision.

The Dermis

This layer is located beneath the epidermis and is known as 'true skin'. It is a mass of connective tissue that contains blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerve and nerve endings, sweat galnds, hair follicles, small muscles and sebaceous glands. The bulk of dermal tissue is formed from collagen. The dermis is divided in two layers, namely, papillary layer and reticular layer. The former supplies nutrients to the basal layer of the epidermis and due to the dense vascularity, provides warmth. The latter layer consists of yellow elastin fibres and strong reticular tissue. Elastin looses elasticity with age and excessive exposure to UV light, making the skin sag and appear wrinkled....always remember to wear sunscreen! If skin is stretched, the fibres rupture and leave scars commonly known as stretch marks.

The Sub-cutaneous layer

This is really fatty tissue. It's function is to provide insulation to the skin as well as protect underyling organs from blows.


I hope you will find this post interesting and I look forward to answering any queries you might have.

Stay Beautiful,
