eb5 Intense Moisture Anti-Aging Cream Reader Giveaway

We are finally heading out of this horrible, dry winter, but that doesn’t mean it is time to start slacking off on our skin care! For more than five decades, eb5 Skincare products have been helping women retain their youthful appearance with a carefully-perfected formula that has been proven to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, remove signs of inflammation, and restore moisture to dry, aging skin.

You can head into spring with your skin looking and feeling its best with eb5 Intense Moisture Anti-Aging Cream. This product contains a modern, patented blend of wrinkle-reducing Vitamin A, free-radical fighting Vitamin E, strengthening Vitamin B, moisture-encouraging Oat Flour, and soothing Comfrey Root. While it has all of those good things in it, it also keeps OUT the bad things. It is paraben-free, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic, and cruelty-free.

I just recently started using eb5 Intense Moisture Anti-Aging Cream and like that it leaves my skin feeling replenished and hydrated, but without any heaviness or greasiness. Now I just need to give it a bit of time and watch for results.

To learn more, follow eb5 on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter and YouTube.

Rituals Sakura Collection – Inspired by Ancient Traditions

Leave a reply

Some of our best beauty products and practices are inspired by ancient traditions. For centuries, the Japanese have celebrated the annual flowering of the Cherry Blossom, or Sakura. This marks an awakening of nature and symbolizes that beauty is momentary and life must be enjoyed. Inspired by this tradition, the Rituals Sakura collection includes a body scrub, shower foam, body cream and body mist and blends the sweetness of cherry blossom with nourishing organic rice milk.

I recently received these products to try and I have to exclaim over how much I love the scent! It smells wonderful and oh so relaxing. You can celebrate each day as a new beginning with Rituals in four steps.

Step 1: Body Scrub
Experience ultimate softness with the Rituals Sugar Sakura Body Scrub that melts on your skin

Step 2: Shower Foam
Feel reborn with Rituals sensational shower foam Zensation

Step 3: Body Cream
Reward and nourish your skin with Rituals velvety soft Magic Touch Body Cream

Step 4: Body Mist
Celebrate life and envelop yourself in the Rituals Blossom Water mist fragrance

Plus, from now until March 29, 2015, you can receive a free body cream with any $50+ purchase at RITUALS… home and body cosmetics!

Treat Your Feet with Geluxury Slippers + Reader Giveaway

78 Replies

Relax at home and “slipper” into something a little more comfortable – more comfortable for your feet, that is!

Geluxury slippers are super cute, but their primary purpose is to provide an intense skin repair treatment. Specially formulated to repair even the most difficult skin, Geluxury’s patent-pending SmartGel lining is infused with 7 therapeutic botanical and essential oils:

Jojoba Oil to rebuild nail beds and cuticles
Grape Seed Oil to improve skin cell health and tone
Soybean Oil to even skin tone and smooth skin texture
Mineral Oil to prevent moisture loss and soften skin
Avocado Oil to decrease the effects of aging
Canola Oil to sooth dry, irritated skin
Olive Oil to help stimulate skin cell growth
Ceramides to seal and protect skin

I received the cute pair pictured up top and after just one treatment I was amazed at how soft my feet felt. They feel a little “strange” the first time I slipped them on. They have a cool, calming feel from the gel. But it was a relaxing enjoyable experience wearing the slippers and I am ready to wear them a LOT to get my feet ready for spring!

Enter our reader giveaway below for a chance to win a pair of your own. Can’t wait for the winner to be revealed? Get your own Geluxury Slippers at www.geluxury.com. Available in leopard or cuddle cow print for $39.95.

Jewel-Toned Eyes: Try This Winter Beauty Trend

1 Reply

The ever-popular Jewel Tone Eye isn’t a new trend, but is classically gorgeous and especially popular this Winter. You might be afraid to try this much color on your eyes, but with these simple tips, your look will definitely shine this season! First, you need to determine which shades are best for you.

Blue Eyes really pop with brown-based tones like bronze and gold.

Brown Eyes look rich with violet/amethyst or blue/cobalt.

Green & Hazel Eyes are complemented by violet, silver or other green tones, like emerald.

To help color last, use an eyeshadow primer before application. With such a bold eye look, try to keep the rest of your makeup minimal. It’s okay to mix it up and try different hues, but don’t try to match your eye makeup to your clothing. Shades I’m loving this season:

gloMinerals Jeweled Eye Pencil – there’s a shade to complement every skin tone!

Pur Minerals Eye Defining Pencil with Smudger in Black Amethyst, Midnight Sapphire and Peridot are gorgeous!

gloMinerals gloEye Shadow in Mermaid is so dreamy and the perfect, rich blue-green.

Pur Minerals Perfect Fit Eye Shadow Trio in Lady Luck (emerald, bronze and cream) and Rebel (amethyst, pink and deep plum) – you can’t beat three shades in one!

Osmosis Colour Gem Collection Water Color Holiday Kit comes with the beautiful glimmering shades of amethyst, topaz and onyx – a must try kit for everyone!

Which jewel tone is your favorite? Let me know! Here’s a hot tip: through 2/23 you can take $10 off orders $50+ at beautystoredepot.com with code FREE10 at checkout. FREE SHIPPING, too!

TUTORIAL: Get Chrissy Teigen’s Grammys Hair + Macadamia Professional Giveaway

61 Replies

On the arm of her Grammy-nominated artist husband John Legend, Chrissy Teigen took to the 57^thAnnual Grammys Red Carpet last night in heavenly white Versace and her hair in Angelic Beach Waves to match. Want to know how to recreate that look? Luckily for us, the creator of her style, Celebrity Hairstylist and Macadamia Professional International Creative Director Giannandrea, shared his “how to” for achieving this sultry silhouette.

Start with wet hair and apply Macadamia Professional Foaming Volumizer($25) to crown only.
Apply Macadamia Professional Blow Dry Lotion($24) through the entire length of the hair.
Blow dry large sections with a large round brush to increase volume all over, especially on the top layers. Part hair down the middle.
Starting slightly below the crown, wrap small sections around a ¾-inch curling iron.
Use a flat iron to gently flatten the waves, making sure to keep the waves and not to remove the roundness.
Flatten the ends for an edgy finish. Spray each section with Macadamia Control Working Spray($23) to hold and set the waves.
Using hands, run Macadamia Professional Nourishing Moisture Oil Spray($31.95) throughout the length to increase shine and supple texture.

Reader Giveaway: One lucky Jinxy Beauty reader will win Macadamia Professionals Control Working Spray. To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 2/24/15. Good luck!
