The natural Vitamin C in this highly acidic acid would rival a professional Lactic acid treatment in my own private celebrity clinic. I love this one because it is so simple yet you will have the look of 12 glycolic treatments without any down time. It will also even out skin tone, minimize enlarged pores and blotchiness so your make up will look more natural.
Only one step.
Roll massage 4 room temperature lemons (that will provide you will the extract intensity needed to provide you will a major benefit with one application). Cut in half and Squeeze without straining (keeping the pulp) in a small bowl or measuring cup. Mix one foil packet of liquid pectin (you can pick up at any grocery store in the gelatin isle). Apply liberally to your entire face, neck , décolleté and back of hands. Anything exposed to the camera. You will know when to take it off when you skin starts to tingle (or no more than 5 minutes).
The pectin will plump up the skin, smooth out skin texture while the lemon with brighten, increase radiance and even out skin tone. Glowing skin guaranteed!

**Recorded Feb. 13, 2010** some of the things I used were bought from a mac pro store. you do not have to be a professional to buy from the pro stores, its open to the public. I used: mac beige-ing shadestick mac primary yellow mac sunshine e/s mac chrome yellow mac golden rod mac flip mac spring up mac chartreuse pigment mac emerald green pro pigment sephora silver glitter liner mac crystalized yellow glitter make up for ever eye seal benefit babe cake liner ardel 113 lashes mac ripe peach blush and the lipgloss i forgot what the name is, but i said it in the video anyway. it’s from one of the recent new lines mac came out with. and just because I used mac and you dont own the exact same things, doesn’t mean you can not achieve the same look! Simply use what you already have!! **I bought everything used, i am not being paid for this video, and i am no affiliated with any of the companies who’s products I used.** -Lauren www.queenofblending.com http (dont follow if you don’t like people who tweet a lot!) www.myspace.com facebook – Queen Of Blending

Yeah, I know what you’re thinking… “Um no way!” But seriously, some people just aren’t genetically gifted in the derriere department. Exercises may lift what you already have, but adding inches is a little more difficult.
Now you can instantly enhance your back side and the way your clothes fit, with Padded Panties, Panty Butt Enhancer Pads, Silicone Body Shapers and more from a cheeky little company called Bubbles Bodywear.
They were kind enough to send us a small selection of their offerings to try out and review. We couldn’t be more thrilled! Being someone who already has quite the bubble butt, I had to find some friends to try these out and my mom ended up being the most willing candidate!
After coaching her past the initial fear of wearing them in public, she wore the BubbleBuns Padded Boyshorts in black with a pair of grey skinny jeans. She looked FABULOUS. She was afraid that it would look like she was wearing padded underwear, but we both agree they look totally natural. We were both really impressed with the results! If you’re concerned about other people knowing you are padding your backside, DON’T BE.
If you are used to not having much going on back there, then yes, it will be a surprise to turn around, look in the mirror and see a nicely shaped bottom. Don’t let that scare you though. It’s not ridiculous or obvious. It just gives you a nice, natural looking curve. My mom is an extremely fit and healthy woman who looks amazing for her age and these undies made her look even better.
My mom also tried out the Silicone Leopard Panty. They looked good, but she thought they felt kinda heavy and would take some time to get used to wearing them. She preferred the BubbleBuns Padded Boyshorts because they had removable foam pads that were very lightweight and more comfortable to sit on.
What’s also interesting is that they were featured on The Today Show last week with Bobbie Thomas’s segment “Spring’s Most Unique Style Trends“.
Take a look at Bubbles extensive collection of padded underwear to find the pair that is right for you. They also have Bum Lifters & Booty Bras and Adhesive Silicone Bra which is perfect for wearing under your favorite summer clothes. More on that later!!

Hi, everyone. Michelle Phan, our video makeup artist, posted her latest Lancome video on YouTube on Thursday. If you haven’t watched it yet, please take a look. My favorite part in the video is Michelle’s tape trick. As a beauty editor and ghostwriter, I’ve written tons of beauty articles (and a few books) and no one ever mentioned that tape trick. It makes so much sense. For those of you (like me) who always wanted that Sophia Loren eye makeup but couldn’t figure it out, here’s a way to do it!
We’re running a little giveaway on our Lancome Paris Facebook page. If you become a Lancome Facebook fan between now and Friday night, you’ll be entered to win all the products in the video above. Brushes too. This is open to existing fans as well. We’ll pick one name at random on Monday.
If you win and you’re also a follower of the blog, make sure to let me know. I’ll throw in a bonus! And some Scotch tape!!
P.S. To those of you who asked about our summer bronzer, it’s not sold out online! Sorry about that. We just had a shipping glitch. It will be here soon and I’ll let you know when it arrives. Thanks for your inquiries.

The worst reason in the world to marry a
prostitute is because you feel sorry for her and want to `rescue’ her from her condition.
Yes, as difficult as this may be for many of you to believe at first, many Asian prostitutes greatly enjoy the money they make if not how they make it. Don’t kid yourself.
Some of them make more money than you do even though you might well hate your job no less than they do. They don’t want to be rescued.
Many also enjoy the sex, or at least some of it, depending on the customer, so they actually enjoy their work more than many of you do.
So it is more likely you’ll be better off with a woman who has not worked as a prostitute for very long, a year at the most.
Remember that very few go into it with the intention of making it a permanent career. Most want to earn a lot of money in a short time (Which is certainly possible), then get out.
If they don’t, there may be a hang-up in their minds or lives you don’t want to deal with.
Some do like the life very much — never forget that. Don’t fall in love with one of those.
The ultimate test is your own heart, but that’s extremely vulnerable in these situations. How do you tell how experienced she is? How experienced does she act? Is she shy or does she love to shake her tits around in the bar?
Does she smoke and drink alcohol? Cuss, especially in
English? Is she wearing a lot of gold jewelry, expensive clothing and makeup? How much English does she speak? If she seems to enjoy her life, she probably does.
Spend as many nights with her as you please, but don’t let go of your heart.
However, you must still be careful.
It’s naive to confuse inexperience with vulnerability to love. Jane, the Filipino prostitute I’m going to tell you more about in Lesson 26, had been `working’ for only two weeks when I met her.
She was inexperienced but certainly not lacking in greed and `bar smarts.’
In Thailand you may run into a situation, especially in massage parlors, where the woman is a contract worker.
That is, her employer paid her or — more likely — her parents a large sum of money upfront for her services for a specified period of time. I’ve heard six months to four years, so I suppose it’s for whatever time and amount they agree on.
The parlor then makes money off charging customers for her sexual services. She keeps the tips.
Make no mistake, however — that is a far above average sum of money in Thailand. Generous foreigners have been known to hand out large amounts to women who
treated them nicely.
But the woman is bound to the parlor for that specified period of time. She cannot leave it earlier unless her contract is bought out. If you fall in love with a 134 woman in that situation you will have to buy her contract.
How much it is will depend on what it originally cost and how much time remains on it. Technically, you then own her exclusive sexual services.
This money now for sexual services later is not slavery, for none of them are forced to enter the arrangement.
But once they accept that upfront money, they’re tied to the parlor for the specified time, unless a foreign white knight in shining armor rescues them earlier.
You may be a wealthy Sir Galahad, but don’t let having
lots of money at your disposal tempt you into forgetting your common sense. Don’t buy the contract of a woman who doesn’t care as much about you as you do about her.
Don’t use money to pay for a wife either with a woman’s family or in these indirect situations until you’re sure she loves you too. First of all, unlike the massage parlor owner, you’re won’t hire thugs to hunt her down if she runs away — I hope.
If she doesn’t like you but she stays with you because you are supporting her family, she will still be unhappy.
Just as happy Asian women make their husbands very very happy, unhappy Asian women make their husbands very very unhappy.
She may be so beautiful you’re overwhelmed, but don’t try to buy a woman who’s not already attracted to you. Money doesn’t buy hearts.
If you love her and she loves you, do buy her contract if you can afford to. If you can’t, you’re asking for heartbreak. Yes, that’s something else I know from experience.
Five of the happiest days of my life were spent with a woman under a contract I could not afford to buy.
Unlike my old Filipina friend Jane, she did not want to remain as a prostitute and I still feel guilty for
disappointing her.
I know she cared for me very much,
saw how much I cared for her and did hope I would buy
her out.
My advise is, get so rich you can afford any and all women you like. I’m not there yet, but I’m doing my own best to follow this advice.
