60 seconds to… red-hot lips!

Spice up your look in a jiffy by trading neutral lipstick for—drum roll, please—red. Scarlet lips exude confidence and glamour. Three simple steps to kissing your plain pout good-bye.

Soften that pucker. Bold color calls attention to chapped lips. Exfoliate by brushing a wet toothbrush against lips before applying red. Follow with a moisturizing primer.

Get in line. Light shades look fine smudgy, but look-at-me red demands a defined border. To create a steady edge, make a dot at the center of the top lip and at each of the upper peaks with a pencil in the same hue as your lipstick. Connect the dots with the liner. Then, from the peaks, draw downward and stop halfway. Finally, starting at each corner, go upward until you meet the initial line. On the bottom, begin at one corner and stop at the center; repeat on the opposite side.

Fill with the right shade. As a rule, “deep red such as wine go best with light skin, while brighter shades like brick are better on olive or dark skin.

Lower-body results that you’ll love

That trimmer, sculpted bottom half will be your reward for all the hills, stairs, speed intervals and lower-body drills we’ve packed into this plan. Don’t believe us? Be on the lookout for . . .

Sexy calves Each time you push off the ball of your foot (that means every step), you contract that sleek, on-tiptoe look24/7.

Smaller thighs Whenever you take off on uneven terrain or lengthen you stride (as in Day 3), you rely on stabilizing muscles—including you inner and outer thighs—to help you balance. Keep them working, and your legs will be toned and tight for short skirts.

A firmer butt Your glutes power your stride. Hills and stairs are extra effective at zapping the jiggle.

Want more? For extra calorie burn, fill your backpack with a few water bottles or wear a weighted Walkvest. And repeat the program every 14 days!

Love Your Hair … Get Salon-Straight Hair at Home

Want strands so sleek and shiny, people can see their reflection in them? Get the straight story here.

Balm it. Smooth straightening serum on damp hair to avoid frizz and prevent heat damage. Light weight Tula Styling won’t drag hair down. If your hair is very curly or coarse, try a thick formula like Straight-up Ironing Gel. Don’t apply too much on top or your hair will have as much body as overcooked spaghetti.

Blast it. The funnel-shaped piece that came with your dryer wasn’t an inspector overnight. A narrow nozzle, like the one on Physique’s new Turbo Hair Dryer, focuses air pressure so that hair isn’t blown into a frizzy tizzy. Part hair in three sections, and divide each into three layers. Place a brush beneath a two-inch piece of hair and, with the dryer nozzle aimed down, very slowly glide blow-dryer and brush in one synchronized slide. Repeat on all sections.

Press it. Stylists’ secret weapon for getting Penelope Cruz hair: a straightening iron. Keep it moving down fluidly or you risk clamp marks and singeing. Tools with teeth for grabbing hair, like Professional Straightening Iron, do a good job of straight-jacketing strands. If your hair is fragile or fried, consider Ion-Retexturizing Iron. It won’t scorch hair since it moisturizes as it straightens.

Age-Defying Collagen

Good day everyone! Most of us women were afraid to get old. Here’s one tip I should give you to promote those silky skin without worrying too much as we grow old.

As we age, our skin becomes more prone to wrinkles, dryness and sagging. As the skin around the mouth is relatively thinner that the rest of the face, we tend to develop deep lines around that area. Some feels bad about their neck, the neck area also proves to be a problem as we mature. In fact, after the age of 25, the hypodermis (fat layer) in this area starts thinning, leading to loss of firmness. With skin thickness that is only a third of that on our forehead and cheeks, the eye area is also one of the first to show signs of aging. Under the eyes, there’s no sebaceous gland to keep skin supple and resilient. And after 35, our skin suffers overall dryness.


While it may be true that aging is dreadful, we still have an ally called collagen to delay the aging process. Collagen is the main structural component of our skin, a connective tissue that holds everything together. The sad truth though is that aging damages the 3D collagen structure of the skin, resulting in loss of firmness and sagging. But if we fight aging on that level, we definitely have a big chance of looking younger, longer.

Recently, the face shop introduced Flebeaute Collagenic, which can replace our native collagen due to their human-like structure, thanks to such ingredients as phyto-collagen and marine-collagen. Also added in the formulation are saffron to promote faster cell regeneration and orchid extract, which is known to extend longevity of cell.
