Proportion of Beauty

People say "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" but don't you wonder why people think that these models are beautiful, regardless what ethnicity they are. Does this mean they all fit in this theory of facial proportion ??

My Wish List...

I wish this were real...

Anatomy of Eyebrows

From thick to thin...to none. Let's look back in the history of eyebrows. I think they missed Jennifer Lopez' high arch...SOURCE

High and Low

Good Buy

Olay Regenerist is one of drugstore products that gives you the result you want within days (from my own experience.) The cream is formulated with the exclusive Olay Amino-Peptide Complex, Regenerist combines a specific pentapeptide, Pal-KTTKS, with other proven anti-aging ingredients (vitamin B3, vitamin E, pro-vitamin B5, green tea extract, and allantoin.) Now I've gotta try their eye lifting serum.

Gray is the New Black

Men with gray hair is no longer considered old, they're 'sexy' - see Anderson Cooper, George Clooney, etc. NYT reports a new way for men to keep salt & pepper hair from going completely gray. “Men want to control gray, but they don’t want to look dyed,” said Chad Murawczyk, the founder of MiN New York, a men’s hair color company. Rodney Cutler, the owner of namesake salons in Midtown and SoHo also added "It’s a balancing act. If you go too light, you’ll look like Donald Trump, and if you go too heavy, you’ll look like Wayne Newton.” I totally agree...

Word of the Day

Turning Back The Clock

Heard about the product for a long time but only use it myself for only a month. La Prairie is the amazing beauty line that I can't live without. My skin is glowing until someone thought that I wore makeup. Of course, the beauty doesn't come cheap..but still cheaper than a facelift.

Tan's Dilemma

Having a "tan line" is always been my dilemma everytime I go to the tanning salon. I'm not sure whether to leave my underwear on or not. Personally, I prefer the all-even color but my friends told me it looks sexier with the tan line. What do you think?

Shu Shines

Shu Uemura - I heard that name before I admitted that I'm Gay; back then it was more about cosmetic than the skincare lines. I just had a chance to try their cleansing oil which left me nothing but baby-butt skin. Used on dry face, this two-in-one cleanser and makeup remover helps maintain the skin's integral balance while thoroughly rids skin of impurities. Leaves skin smooth and soft without stripping skin of its natural oils.

What's New ??

A recent study conducted by AC Nielsen found that almost 50% of Asian women polled in 46 countries around the world would whiten their skin if they had the money. Ten percent are already buying bleaching products and the trend is only expected to grow. There is nothing new to me. I'm one of those 10% who's done this for years. Oops !!!! I just realized they're talking about "Asian Women", never mind...

REN is My New Love

I was introduced to "REN" clean skincare by my friend and I love it.

The products are clean and yet strong enough for you to see the result. As far as I know, it's available in US. at Bloomingdale's.
