St. Tropez Delivers Red Carpet Perfection at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards Events

(Los Angeles, CA – the 83rd Annual Academy Awards – February 27, 2011) – 3… 2… 1… Lights, Camera, Glow!

Leading skin-finishing brand St. Tropez, delivers high definition, flawless head-to-toe red carpet perfection for the Hollywood elite. Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kelly Osbourne, Maria Menounos, Jessalyn Gilsig, Rashida Jones, Daphne Zuniga, Busy
Philipps, Mamie Gummer, Katie Cassidy, Giuliana Rancic and Hofit Golan are walking testimonials for St. Tropez’s High Definition custom Skin-Finishing treatments designed to dress the skin for Hollywood’s biggest event.

“Being red carpet ready for this year’s Oscars means being skin ready, said Nichola Joss, St. Tropez Skin Finishing Expert. “The St. Tropez menu of skin finishing treatments for face and body offers gorgeous skin for people of all skin tones. For example, St.
Tropez’s Hyper-real finish provides a light finish to give an airbrushed look as seen on Gwyneth Paltrow. Her skin is perfect for the HD lens. St. Tropez’s Ethereal finish provides porcelain skin tones with a subtle luminosity. All of St. Tropez’s Custom Body Finish treatments enhance face and body contours, giving skin a radiant glow.”

St. Tropez custom skin finishes and products not only perform on the red carpet but also perform on the Academy Awards stage at the Kodak Theatre. The powerful spotlights focus on the face and St. Tropez’s skin finishes for the world to see.

Makeup artist Leslie Lopez gave Gwyneth Paltrow the ultimate golden look. "I applied the St. Tropez Wash Off Mousse to her body and face to give her a sun kissed glow. For the ultimate glamourous sheen, I added the St. Tropez Gold Skin Illuminator down her arms, legs, cheek bones, chest and shoulders, which really helped to complement her gold Calvin Klein gown."

Bruce Grayson, head makeup artist for the Academy Awards, identifies St. Tropez as Hollywood’s secret weapon. “The stage lights are so bright and can wash out a beautiful face and you need either subtle or bold illumination to maintain definition and
contour.

To achieve this look at home, Joss recommends red carpet fans to apply the Wash Off Instant Glow Face by massaging into the skin for a natural finish. Then follow with the Skin Illuminator and gently apply to key areas such as cheekbones, décolletage and shoulders to give an instant radiance and perfectly finished skin.

St. Tropez is Hollywood’s best-kept beauty secret, but fans can recreate a variety of looks with St. Tropez’s unique line of self-tanning and skin finishing products. First, exfoliate with St. Tropez Tan Optimizer Body Polish before moisturizing dry areas
thoroughly with St. Tropez Tan Optimizer Body Moisturizer. Then, spray St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Spray. Finally, shower off to reveal a perfectly golden, natural looking tan or glow. To maintain, re-apply a couple of times a week, nourish daily with St. Tropez Tan Optimizer Body Moisturizer, and smooth skin with St. Tropez Tan Optimizer Body Polish for ultimate results.

MAC Cosmetics Sheen Supreme Lipstick Collection

Gloss is good, but there’s nothing quite as wonderfully, worldly cinematic as a Lipstick – and they’re coming back! We’ve updated formulas to make it all plausible. Sheen Supreme is the combination of the strong, sensually saturated colour of, say, Tilda Swinton’s I Am Love Milanese Lipstick, leavened with the light feel and clear vibrancy, the see-through sheen of a modern New York City Girl Gloss. Imagine no muddy undertones, gliding in pearl or creme finish, moisturizing with no sticky/tacky feel. It’s a new medium, with M∙A∙C in the lead. This is retro/modern – and

devastatingly chic.

New layout

Hello Everybody!
As you can see I changed the layout. I kinda got sick with this pink color, so now it's green. Hope you like it.

Few days ago my winter holiday ended so now I have to go to school again and study hard.
I'm really tired and sometimes I feel totally nervous. Still, I'm trying to do my best.
Yesterday I had maths exam but I hope that it went not so bad.

It's been really cold in Poland. I want spring to come.

I don't know what to do with my hairstyle.
With my bangs, to be precise.
Should I keep it one-sided or try straight, short bangs?
Do you have any ideas? ^^

I also like hairstyles like this:

but I'm not sure if it will suit me.

So maybe something like this?



During the winter holiday I met with my friend from Japan.
We went shopping but we ended up talking all the time.
I'm meeting her again on Tuesday. I'm really happy. ^^



I think that I will record a new video next weekend.
Do you have any song requests? If so, please write them in comments :)

Okay! I have to go now!
See you!

Are You Washing Your Face the Wrong Way?

Iiiiiiiiiit's MONDAY!!! Time for our pearls of wisdom from the Daily Glow =). Today Dr. Jessica Wu teaches us how to wash our faces...the RIGHT way! This is what she says:

 Seems obvious, right? Add water, lather, and rinse. After all, you've probably been washing your own face since you were 5 or 6 years old. But have you had any lessons on face washing since then? One of the first things I ask of my new patients is to describe their skin care routines. While most are picky about eye cream and sunscreen, many don't know the brand of cleanser they use, or they simply make do with the bar soap in the shower — the same one they use on their feet and armpits. There's a better way, and it doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Here's how to wash your face, in five easy steps:

1. Remove your eye makeup. If you don't, it will smear all over your face, get into your eyes, and take twice as long to remove, especially if it's waterproof. Plus, you'll ruin your towels. I use Clinique's Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips. If you wear contacts, take them out first.

2. Splash with lukewarm water. This will help your cleanser spread over your skin, so you won't have to use as much. Avoid hot water, which can dry out your skin.

3. Use a liquid face wash. Many bar soaps contain strong detergents that make a lot of suds — great for removing grime from dirty hands and feet, but not so great for your face. For normal to oily skin, try a gel or foaming wash, like Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser, to help lift off oil and makeup. If your skin is dry or sensitive, your best bet is a creamy or milky cleanser like Boscia Soothing Cleansing Cream.

4. Massage with fingertips and rinse with lukewarm water. Then pat dry with a soft towel; rubbing can redden your face and aggravate breakouts, rosacea, and rashes.

5. Skip the cleanser in the morning. Unless your skin is very oily (or you forgot to wash your face the night before), just splash with lukewarm water to get the sleep out of your eyes.
