Guest Beauty Blogger Wednesdays - The Muse Talks Moisturizers

Filed under: Skin Care, Beauty Tips

Today, our Guest Beauty Blogger is The Muse from Musings of a Muse -- an addictive beauty blog that centers around product reviews, with an honest opinion, real product photos and a unique and original spin on makeup. Here, The Muse reviews SteamCream - a multitasking moisturizer for face and body.



The Muse thinks that the secret and solution to life, the universe, and everything is actually SteamCream.


You're curious now, right? A few months ago the Muse discovered a little product called SteamCream. SteamCream happens to be a multipurpose cream that can be used on your face or your body (unlike all these on Total Beauty's worst moisturizers list). I know, I know you're screaming in agonizing pain at the idea of using one cream for your face AND your body. How horrifying right? How can one single product be used on the delicate skin of your face plus the rough parts of your body like elbows and knees? Rest assured the Muse promises it's a miracle in a cute little tin.

Elizabeth Grant - Giveaway Winner!

Filed under: Contests & Giveaways

eye creamSo many of you told us whose Hollywood golden glow you yearn for during the Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Gold Essence & Vitamin C Eye Cream giveaway. We heard the same names repeatedly and, to our surprise and delight, not one of them was a day under 40. Jane Seymour, Jennifer Aniston, Diane Lane, Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton and the ever fabulous Sophia Loren all had tons of ticks next to their names. And while Angelina Jolie was the most popular (who would've guessed that), it was lucky Lois who picked the winning name. So which celeb brought on the winning bid for our winner Lois?

Brad Pitt's hour-long beauty routine

Filed under: Skin Care, Celebrities with Style


It's a pretty well-accepted fact that Brad Pitt is prettier than most guys, regardless of their age. Hell, he's prettier than a good percentage of women we know! And while we're not sure we buy this story in its entirety (the National Enquirer isn't exactly the most reliable source), we think there's probably a good bit of truth in it.

Apparently, Brad Pitt spends an hour every night applying various cleansers, toners, creams, and balms to his face, including his $1400 a jar Creme de la Mer anti-aging moisturizer. And, once a week, he applies an olive oil-based cream on his hands and feet to keep his skin soft and supple. He even wears gloves and socks to bed to make sure he gets the full moisturizing benefits.

Five tips for age-defying beauty

Filed under: Skin Care, Celebrities with Style, Beauty Tips


We at StyleList want you to be beautiful at any age. Here are our top 5 tips for age-defying beauty:

1. Moisturize moisturize moisturize with spf. Still young? Lucky you. Try Future E by L'Oreal.

2. Invest in a good eye cream, like one of Lancome's Primordiale Eye creams. Let a specialist at a department store help you pick which cream is right for your skin.

Bonus tip: Refrigerate it if you buy in bulk.

3. Sleep. If you follow this and the above two steps, you won't need to cake on the make-up; that will make you look ancient.

4. Betty Beauty.com has a secret you may have read about earlier...

5. Laugh. Your face is going to age, and you want the pretty lines, not the frowny-grimace lines. Laughter has been shown to improve your health and prolong your life--and you always look more beautiful when you smile!

Rodin - Your skin's secret weapon

Filed under: Must Haves

Skeptics, take note: After the first application of this mix of 11 essential oils (jasmine, sweet almond, jojoba) your complexion will have a visible, healthy glow. Really. We've tried and tested it ourselves.

Apply a few drops in lieu of your regular moisturizer (or under it when your skin is really drab). The oil is all natural, non-greasy, and leaves skin supple and hydrated. Dab a drop or two on your elbows, hands and feet before bed and your rough, dry skin will be banished. Since it's pricey ($130 for 1oz; buy it here), mix it in with your regular face and body moisturizers to make it last and last.

Scentsational: Neutrogena Comforting Butter Body Wash

Filed under: Skin Care


We hate the bother of applying moisturizer after the shower. It's messy, cold, and time consuming, the three horsemen of "Next time."

Our skin is saved by the one million moisturizing body washes with magic ingredients ranging from shea butter to glitter oil. They'll never take the place of real moisturizers, but sure do buy some time before your elbows get red and cracked.

Neutrogena Comforting Butter Body Wash is our current favorite, although for non-moisturizer related reasons. Oh, it's got shea butter, and mango and cocoa butter, so it makes you plenty soft. But we'd use it if it gave us green scales just to get a whiff of the addictive, faintly tropical, vanilla scent.

Seriously, go down to the drugstore and smell it. You will be powerless to resist the comfort of this body wash!

Drugstore Beauty Queen: Smith's Rosebud Salve

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care, Steals and Deals

rosebud salveqIf the fashion forecasters are right and the era of the enormous handbag is coming to a close, then you might have to rethink that veritable cosmetics counter you are carrying around in your purse.

If you have to do some space budgeting and are restricted to a few essentials, make sure that Smith's Rosebud Salve from Bigelow Chemists is one of the keepers. The salve is most commonly used as a lip balm, but I happen to have fairly dry skin, and dab the stuff on dry patches on my face and even on my hands. Sure, it has a floral fragrance, which is something I normally don't like, especially on my lips, where the idea of "eating" flowers grosses me out, but the rose scent is pretty light, and after a while, I don't notice it.

Rosebud Salve is about $6.

Are you feeling Positively Radiant ®?

Filed under: Skin Care, Steals and Deals

Like a good girl, I wear sunscreen everyday -- even in the winter. I'm so consistent in my avoidance of the sun that I let myself get away with being self-righteous every once in a while. That was until a girlfriend of mine -- a doctor, no less -- informed me that my daily SPF 15 sunscreen probably did not cut the mustard. She recommended I bump it up to SPF 30.

For the last week, I've been using Aveeno's Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer, which, as it turns out, is the only moisturizer at my neighborhood CVS that comes with SPF 30. (I guess that makes me a user by default, doesn't it?) Regardless, I'm quite impressed with the way the lotion evens out my skin. I can already tell a difference in texture and the tone of my face. What is that difference? Well, everything just seems like a little more Positively Radiant ®.

It's the end of summer, where's my tan?

Filed under: Cosmetics

Summer is a time for all of us to enjoy vacationing on the beaches of Paradise Island, Hawaii, Jamaica, or any other sunny spot around the world. And when you return from these vacations at the end of summer, you girls are supposed to show it -- with a tan.

But what about those of you who either don't get any time off (or can't afford it!) or those of you who just can't manage to soak up any of those summertime rays (darn you, fair-skinned complexion!)?

It's time to immerse yourself in self-tanning knowledge. iVillage has an array of articles to get you "glowing" like you just stepped off the plane from Aruba.

A few tips -- Use gloves (or wash your hands periodically throughout the application process). Exfoliate your skin beforehand! Make sure your skin is dry. Apply just like a moisturizer. And finally, take your time -- everything needs at least 30 minutes to dry thoroughly.
