As the weather gets warmer, you need to change your skincare and makeup routine. Here are a few tips that can have your skin looking healthy and beautiful in warm weather.

Lighten Up
In the summer you don’t need to use a heavy moisturizer like you do in the winter. Use a lighter formula, but make sure to use a sunscreen with SPF every day.

You also don’t need heavy makeup. Instead of a liquid foundation, use a tinted moisturizer or a bronzer powder instead. Skip the dark lipstick and opt for a pink gloss or tinted lip balm instead.

Sweatproof Makeup
To insure your makeup lasts all day, look for sweatproof foundations and powders. Use a primer on your eyelids to insure your eyeshadow doesn’t melt or smear. If you are headed to the pool or beach, use a waterproof mascara or skip mascara entirely and just curl your eyelashes.

Protect Your Skin
As I mentioned, use a sunscreen on a daily basis. If you are going to be in the direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time, wear sunglasses and a floppy hat to protect your eyes, scalp and face from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

A little short term prevention can help avoid long term problems. Repeated sun exposure can lead to wrinkles, dark spots and even skin cancer. Have fun in the sun this summer, but be smart and stay protected!

Fragrance Entrepreneur Wendy Louis is offering sensuous fragrances through her company Entice Fragrances. Though it’s difficult for small businesses to compete with the perfume giants like Christian Dior, Chanel and Calvin Klein, Wendy Louis has been doing it successfully in the fragrance arena for over eight years now.

“Many people think you would have to be crazy to market a fragrance that puts you in competition with such well-known names,” explains Ms. Louis. “But I’m young and up to the challenge. I have a unique fragrance, and the overwhelming positive response it has received from the public has given me the motivation to tackle the challenge head-on.”

Louis, a twenty-something-year-old successful entrepreneur, has turned her passion for fragrances into a meaningful career. While most people her age are still figuring out what they want to do with their lives, she’s already working toward building an empire. She has created Entice, a fragrance and splash comprised of soft white musk and honeysuckle, that offers a clean and enticing scent. The mission was to create a sexy fragrance that combines those smells, along with several other delectable scents. The final result is an alluring perfume that rivals those put out by any top-of-the line name in the fragrance business.

“Everyone wants to feel sexy, and the name says it all it is enticing and exciting,” adds Louis. “My goal of helping women achieve that aura has been realized in Entice. I’m thrilled about the success it’s had so far, and I’m just getting started.”

To learn more about her enticing fragrance, visit EnticeFragrance.com. A 90-ml bottle is priced at $90. A mini 20ml version is available for $65, or you can request a free sample before ordering by filling out this simple request form.

Entice is a delectable mixture of soft white musk and honeysuckle with a clean mysterious scent. A sexy combination of top notes including sicilian lemon and petitgrain, middle notes of honeysuckle, pink rose, and dry notes of amber and Indonesian Sandalwood.

Entice can be used as a spray or a splash as it comes with a interchangable screw top.

The rise in popularity of all things green from architecture and design to the food on our tables has effortlessly translated into the world of beauty. One of the biggest obstacles companies face in creating organic products with a viable shelf life is in finding alternatives to synthetic preservatives. Enter Phi-nomenal by Michelle Roark, a new collection of 100% perfumes created using the concept of Phi the Divine Proportion in art and science. Da Vinci and Mozart knew it … Egyptian pyramids demonstrate it … life on Earth depends on itand today, Phi-nomenal captures it in a bottle (or solid) for women everywhere to enjoy.

When world class skier and World Cup Champion Michelle Roark was told to visualize the 5 senses in her training exercises, the one sense she couldn’t quite grasp was the sense of smell. A spirited perfectionist with a degree in chemical engineering from one of the most prestigious engineering schools in the world, Roark set out to create a fragrance line that would inspire and engage the senses naturally. Roark scoured the globe in search of nature’s finest essences, eschewed additives, alcohol and fillers, and created formulations based on the concept of Phi. Roark’s research and determination paid off, resulting in her new perfume collection, Phi-nomenal by Michelle Roark.

Each fragrance is hand poured, and unites rare elements created by sun, soil and water found in the fields, forests and oceans of the far corners of the world. These ingredients are combined using a patent pending process that enhances their natural beauty and appeal to the senses. Deliberately void of synthetic substances, Phi-nomenal is a return to the origins of perfume, as nature intended. Coco Chanel would be proud.

The Phi-nomenal collection is made up of 5 scents for women, each emulating a unique and powerful philosophic premise: (more…)
