Get Ready for Daytime TV’s Most Celebrated Beauty Brand
If you’re a Y&R fan, you know all about Jabot Cosmetics. It’s the fictional cosmetic line started by John Abbott, that also slipped into the evil hands of Victor Newman as well as the ambitious Katherine Chancellor.
Recognizing that fans would like to own a piece of the show, the top-rated CBS soap is launching a line of Jabot Cosmetics.
According to Maria Arena Bell, the executive producer and head writer of the soap: “The brand launch is going to be completely integrated to the show. The back story on how Jabot started and product development is going to be featured in Y&R story lines, and we are going to use actual Jabot products on-set with the same packaging as you will see in retail. “
Non-Chemical Sun Lotion for Adults and Kids
Most of us are getting smarter when it comes to preventing skin damage while in the sun.
However, not all sunscreens are as safe as you may think.
In fact, many sunscreen products contain ingredients that are not only damaging to the body but also harmful to the environment.
Since many sunscreens sit like an oil film on your skin, they may cause damage to lakes and oceans with toxic ingredients like parabens and benzophenone.
Green Beaver SPF30 non-whitening sunscreens (for adults and kids) are certified organic and approved by Health Canada.
The active ingredient in the biodegradable formula is 100% natural mineral zinc oxide which provides UVA and UVB protection. The formula does not contain chemical preservatives, petrolatum, synthetic fragrances, dyes, phthalates, or any other chemical ingredients.
Original Formula Created for Medical Market
In honor of the Oprah Winfrey Show’s recent farewell, here’s one of the beauty products that made the talk show host’s Favorite Things list on more than one occasion: Philosophy’s Hope in a Jar.

The limited edition, which is still available on the Philosophy web site, comes in a glitzy box covered with sparkling red glitter and a photo of Oprah as a young girl living in Mississippi.

-Walk Inspired Shades
If you’re addicted to wearing lipstick, the Dior Addict Lipstick collection will keep you busy with a total of 56 striking shades to try out.
Not only are you sure to find your favorite shade, but your lips will thank you.
The main ingredient in this lipstick is Mirror Jelly that offers shine and hydration in two ways. Polymers give your lip a long-lasting softening property, while silicone oil creates a smooth texture. This lipstick also has a significantly lower level of wax (25%) which also creates a light-reflecting light.
Retexturizing Primer
Who doesn’t love a beauty multi-tasker, especially in the summer when you’d rather be enjoying the outdoors rather than touching up your makeup.
MAC Prep + Prime Beauty Balm is the perfect go to product whether you’re looking for a colour perfector, face primer, UV protector, or hydrator.
Just apply the lightly tinted beauty balm to your skin before foundation for enhanced wear throughout the day.

The focus of the new NARS site is to showcase beauty looks based on Francois Nars’ latest book, Makeup Your Mind: Express Yourself, in which everyday people were made up to look extraordinary.
Stars Honor Sophia Loren
If anyone can prove that age is just a number, Sophia Loren can.
Famous for her saucy roles in films like Desire Under the Elms, the Italian actress showed off her legs (and other ample parts) recently at The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ tribute in Beverly Hills, California.
Wearing a mid-knee, shimmering black gown with sling back stilettos, Loren’s hair was swept back in a youthful updo. Not many women can carry off this look, but Sophia Loren stood out easily even among younger celebrities like Eva Mendes and Christina Ricci.
What’s the Italian bombshell’s secret to looking so young?

Rumour has it that the newly anointed Duchess of Cambridge also had an oxygen therapy treatment before her wedding day to ensure picture perfect results for the big event.
According to a press release from Crystal Clear Skincare, the skin-brightening facial “gives instant skin rejuvenation with no down time. Results are immediately visible and are cumulative.”
