Wax On, Wax Off
Still haven’t braved up to try a bikini wax? Valentine’s Day just may be the very best time to dare to go bare. Tip: Pop two Advil an hour before your scheduled wax to manage pain. For any irritation afterwards, apply aloe or hydrocortisone cream. Lemon Spalon in the CWE is offering half off a brow wax with any bikini wax all winter long! Call 314-367-7911 or check out lemonspalon.com.
Go Bronze, The Healthy Way
Chances are this Valentine’s Day, your LBD (little black dress) might make a long overdue appearance. Instead of running straight to your favorite tights to hide winter white legs, why not turn up the sex appeal with a line of new products from Philosophy? Their “Here Comes the Sun” line of self-tanners not only give you a gradual glow, but also help to improve the signs of aging by firming and toning for smooth, healthy skin. Tip: Prep skin for self-tanner by exfoliating, paying special attention to dry/rough areas. Moisturizing is also key to make sure that your skin will absorb the color evenly.
Irresistible, Kissable Lips
Don’t pretend for one minute that after all the flowers, candy, and romantic dinners end this Valentine’s Day that a little kissy kissy won’t occur. Be prepared to pucker up while still looking natural with soft, rosy lips straight off the runway. LORAC Cream Lipstick in Pout is the perfect pink plum to add subtle color while keeping your lips healthy and moisturized. This lip trend is meant to look as natural as possible, so gently blot with a tissue after applying.
Looking to go more bold? An array of bright and beautiful reds are back for Spring 2012 as well. Try MAC Pro Longwear Lipcreme in True Red for its lightweight texture and comfortable longwear. This color looks great on almost every skin tone and will radiate your confidence this Valentine’s Day.
