Time to Gloss for Holidays!
It is the time to shine! No kidding. It is already late October and we are just a couple of months away to Christmas. I am not sure how many families will host big parties for Christmas this year, but what I am sure about is that you will still celebrate Christmas with your family. We will still dress up and open presents. Preparing a nice lip gloss to let you shine for this coming holiday.
Wrap lips in lustrous, lasting color and shine with groundbreaking glosses that never feel dry or sticky. It is Shiseido‘s Shimmer GelGloss. A highly reflective lip gloss with transparent color for a mirror-like crystalline finish. 12-hour hydration. Weightless. Non-sticky.
Shine, reimagined in a highly reflective shimmer gloss with a mirror-like crystalline finish. Up to 12-hour hydration with an instant increase of 64% moisture, compared to not using a gloss. Enriched with shea butter to condition and nourish lips. Highly refractive oils and reflective pearls maximize shine. Weightless. Non-sticky. Hydrating.
The KEY INGREDIENT Contains Shiseido’s Dual Gel system, which fuses a super glossy gel with a cushiony gel for the perfect combination of comfort and mirror-like shine. Weightless and non-sticky, this ultra-sensorial gloss is infused with shea butter to instantly hydrate lips and provide 12 hours of lasting moisture.
Reflective pearls and highly refractive oils deliver a crystalline finish that will not feather or bleed.
From time to time, Shiseido is one of the brands that I love forever. I never doubt there would be one product that is not good to use from Shiseido, it might be not fit you, but I am sure the quality is high-standard all the time. My mom is also a big fan of Shiseido, no matter skin cares, makeups, as well as sunscreens, she is all about Shiseido products. I guess I got a lot of influences from her to become a Shiseido fan too. This holiday, I guess it is the time to update my mom’s makeup products. Wrapping a lovely Shiseido lip gloss up into a beautiful gift box, I think I already see my mom’s big smile coming out.

Almost 700,000 Brits currently live in the USA and bosses at the online business, which launched in 1999, estimates it sells its goods to a customer base comprising 75% expats and 25% US nationals who love British foods. The website offers over 12,000 British food and drink products from much-loved UK brands and products ranging from Ambrosia custard and Warburtons crumpets to Branston pickle and Heinz baked beans.

“Demand shows no sign of easing as we are increasingly selling more produce to American citizens who have developed a real sweet spot for traditional British goodies. There’s no doubt that this year Americans and British expats have been craving their favorite British treats with tea, biscuits and chocolate bars the most sought-after items,” he added.

EBORAH MITCHELL AND HER HEAVEN SKIN CARE LINE FEATURED ON NEW NETFLIX SERIES “(UN)WELL”
Episode of Docu-Series, “Bee Sting Therapy,” Examines the Potent Use of This Extract in Beauty and Health Treatments, including Lyme Disease
Bee venom has been known to tighten, lift and firm skin while targeting frown lines and wrinkles. Now, the treatment is getting its moment in the spotlight in a new Netflix documentary that features its pioneer: Deborah Mitchell, the UK-based skin care expert and founder of the Heaven skin care line. Known as the celebrity aesthetician to celebrities and Royals, Deborah invented the ABEETOXIN serum, which uses a bee’s Melittin to painlessly trick the skin into believing it’s been stung, which then triggers “repair mode.” The body instantly increases blood flow to the face, stimulating collagen. That in turn strengthens connective tissue and elastin. The Netflix series “(Un) Well” follows people looking for alternative treatments and medicines after traditional healthcare did not meet their needs. The documentary follows Deborah as she treats clients with the serum and shares its benefits.
“I have been using Bee Venom for years and the results speak for themselves,” says Deborah, whose Heaven skin care line features face and eye creams as well as masks that contain the extract. “This revolutionary ingredient is a powerful weapon is keeping skin looking healthy, relaxed and natural, repairing tissue and elastin through collagen.”
Otherwise known as apitoxin, bee venom is an odorless liquid released from a honeybee when it stings. It consists of more than 20 known compounds, most prominently, the peptide, melittin. Melittin boasts powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. The extract cannot be created synthetically: beekeepers collect the venom through an elaborate process that keeps the bees safe.
In addition to skin care, bee venom is being used by wellness practitioners for ailments including Lyme disease.
Debora enjoyed participating in the documentary and sharing the serum and technique.
“Netflix did a very good job in showing bee venom treatments from all angles,” says Deborah. “It was a great opportunity to talk about this incredible ingredient and the benefits to your skin care regimen.”
