Baviphat Korean Cosmetics

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

Baviphat is a new Korean skin care and cosmetics company that has some rather cute products. You can buy these at my favorite online shopping source for anything in Asian fashion and beauty, YesStyle, which has a great selection of Japanese and Korean makeup, fashion, and handbags.

Baviphat has some fascinating products, such as a paprika gel for treating red spots, a paprika whitening toner, and other paprika products for skin brightening. I’m rather interested in the paprika line and might order some items from it. If anyone reading this has tried it, let me know! They also make an acne drying solution that comes with its own applicators.

Baviphat also makes a BB cream,  and I love the Baviphat Magic Girls BB Slim Solution Pact with SPF 50.  It is hard to beat a pressed blemish balm that has that high of a sun protection factor!

There are some great products coming out of Korea, and the Baviphat line looks rather promising. I am excited to try it!

MAC Fashion Flower Swatches

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

The MAC Fashion Flower Collection contains a number of brightly colored shadows inspired by spring floral blossoms. For lip product swatches, head on over to my post on Girl Gloss: MAC Fashion Flower Lipstick Swatches.

In the eye shadows, I particularly like the lighter shades in the fashion flower collection, which includes a beautiful matte light aqua blue and a luminous lime green that really shines.  Matte coral pink and gray shades are also interesting, as is a frosty white/yellow shade, that appears mostly white. The disappointment for me was a hunter green shade that looks luminous and beautiful in the pot, but appears black and not so luminous on the skin.

Below are Fashion Flower eye shadow swatches. Since the sun hasn’t come out here in a week, these are taken in indoor light with a flash. But I think that the swatch is very true to color. From left to right: Fresh Daisy, Aqua , Lucky Green, Free to Be,  Groundcover, and  Bows & Curtseys.

Also included in the collection are two beauty powders. Both are very light and sheer. I was packing on the color when I did the powder swatches, but it still is rather hard to see. Below are the swatches of the beauty powders form the MAC Fashion Flower collection. From left to right: Alpha girl and Light Sunshine.

The M.A.C. Fashion Flower Collection is listed as being on counter on May 5, 2011. Often new MAC Cosmetics collections show up online slightly before their listed dates.

Aging signs are one thing that can really put off anyone. As we age our skin sags and aging sings such as wrinkles, skin lines, sagging skin, eye bags and so on are seen to a appear in a person’s face. You can smooth out skin wrinkles in so many ways. Let’s take a look at some wrinkle smoothing tips:

§ You can opt for cosmetic wrinkle smoothing surgery that removes sagging skin and removes fine lines. This can be quite effective in reducing aging signs.

§ Botox is a highly popular wrinkle smoothening method used now-a-days because it takes so little time to get done. Botox is administered to the area where wrinkles have to be removed and the results are instant.

§ Anti wrinkle creams that stimulate collagen and elastin production are quite effective in reducing aging signs. These creams have to be applied according to given instructions and the results are quite effective. They are a quick way to remove those early wrinkle signs.

§ Chemical peels are also quite effective in reducing wrinkles. They can get rid of fine lines, wrinkles, skin pigmentation wherever required.

§ Dermal fillers are yet another way to reduce skin wrinkles. This is a non-invasive method of wrinkle smoothing and results are instant.

These are some of the method used to reduce wrinkles. As can be seen there are surgical and non-surgical wrinkle smoothing methods you can opt to remove wrinkles. Most people opt for non-surgical methods because they are the easier alternative. A wrinkle cream can be applied at home, while a chemical face peel can be applied at the dermatologists. In addition to using such wrinkle smoothing methods, you can always prevent yourself from getting wrinkles. You can make prevent yourself from going out in the sun too often without sunscreen. A healthy balanced diet can prevent aging signs from coming on too fast. Having Vitamin is also helpful in enhancing skin condition and preventing aging signs.

This is because a licensed professional and someone who is knowledgeable in cosmetic surgery has the best experience to handle wrinkle problem and can bring about the kind of results that is expected without the problem of excessive side effects.
