SUMITA BEAUTY Gel Eyeliner: a little pot of gel eyeliner that’s long lasting and comes in bhura (brown), hara (green), kala (black). If you do it right, your eyes will look big and defined. It’s also long lasting, water resistant, easy to apply, smudge proof and only $11.. SUMITA BEAUTY Surma Contrast Eye Pencil, the secret of the exotic
eastern beauty., Sumita worked long and hard and did not rest until she found the prefect
formulation and the blackest black possible. Traditionally a powder liner, Surma is the
literal translation of the word kohl in Hindi. It helps define, lines and contrasts the inner rim of the eyes, lasts long, doesn’t smudge or fade and costs $11.
It’s A Sun Block, Moisturizer, Anti-Aging Miracle
I just started testing a new amazing-sounding anti-aging product called, RX Systems PF SPF 35 Facial Moisturizer. Designed to protect and hydrate, it’s backed by lots of research and claims. It was developed and tested by board-certified dermatologist and Rx Systems PF® founder Dr. Lawrence E. Samuels, SPF 35 Facial Moisturizer offers broad spectrum UVB/UVA protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Combined with skin conditioning agents that restore the moisture content and pH of the skin, along with antioxidants that provide anti-aging benefits, this one product provides multiple solutions for today’s discriminating consumer shopping for anti-aging skin care products.
“Ultraviolet radiation is recognized as the single most important contributing factor to aging skin,” says Dr. Samuels. “The ubiquitous nature of ultraviolet rays requires the use of sunscreen agents to block the damaging effects. Since combination sunscreen ingredients are more effective than single-agent sunscreens, we combined four key ingredients in SPF 35 to expand the range of UVB/UVA ray protection, including micronized zinc oxide, which does not leave a residue.
According to Dr. Samuels, the product is enhanced with antioxidants, which increase the product’s photo-protective properties and neutralize free radicals not blocked by the SPF 35. It also contains skin conditioning agents including organic aloe vera which calms and enriches the skin, moisturizing ingredients, and anti-inflammatory molecules to restore the moisture content and pH of the skin.
Also safe for children over six months of age, a 2oz. bottle retails for $25.90, available online at www.rxsystemspf.com/SPF35Launch.

I’d like to add that one natural experience is a great refreshing coconut water…it tastes the freshest of the ones i’ve tried.

I agree, daniel…O.N.E. Coconut Water is AMAZING! I drink it before I run each day (I’m a long distance runner) and don’t get the cramps I get when I drink plain water. I also like the recycled packaging.
