New Skin Cream to Try

Sun-Chlorella Cream is a gloriously rich, innovative skin cream that makes your skin feel so pampered!  Just smoothing it on is a treat for your face.

The cream contains a blend of natural ingredients in a purified water base.  It diffuses into the skin’s surface to hydrate the cells. According to the company, “Once absorbed, the nucleic acids in the Chlorella Growth Factor begin stimulating skin cell activity.”

The cream is paraben free and contains chlorella pyrenoidosa extract, grapefruit seed extract, artemisia capillaris extract and clove flower extract. 

Chlorella is a high-protein algae that's packed with nutrients.

My only nit with this marvelous cream is that I can’t find where it includes sunscreen, which is a must for me.  Oh, and the price… $75.

Bel Viso by Borghese



Wow!  What a fabulous, luxurious line of skin care products!  This 7-piece set has everything you need to create beautiful skin. I hadn't touched Borghese in years, but I'm so glad I did!

What is it: Bel Viso by Borghese translates to beautiful treatment. These seven indulgent products offer a complete facial treatment in the comfort of your own home.

Who is it for: Avid Borghese fans or those experiencing the brand for the first time. This superior skin care kit is suitable for all skin types.

Why is it different: The ultimate treat for you or a fantastic gift. Everything you need to rejuvenate, restore, and firm your face and body.

I've been using the Esfoliante Delicato every day and just love it. What a great, hydrating cleanser. I love the Fango Active Mud for Face and Body, too.

And my other favorite from the collection is the Crema Straordinaria Da Giorno SPF 25 — wonderful moisturizer.

The collection is marketed as a winter care line, but I tell you, I've been using the products right into our Texas spring, and my skin as as happy as it can be.

The collection contains:

  • 1 fl oz Fluido Protettivo advanced spa lift for eyes
  • 4 fl oz Effetto Immediato spa soothing tonic

Is Curly White House Insider Now Out?

We were sad to read in "Time" magazine that Obama administration insider Mona Sutphen—a glorious curly—has been relieved of her White House duties.

Sutphen served as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy.  We enjoyed seeing her beautiful curls in the occasional news photo that crossed our desks.

We wish her luck in the next phase of her career.  Maybe she should she should stay in government as a Curl Ambassador!

American Idol Hair

Anyone watching "American Idol"?  I saw some great curls and waves among the early contestants; let's hope they make it far in the competition. There was a curly redhead guy who made it to Hollywood; he would represent us well!

Who was your favorite curly?

Lip Luxury from Korres

I'm loving Korres' new Raspberry Liquid Lipstick. The hyper-energetic color is kissably gorgeous and super-intense.

The Korres products combine the longevity of a lipstick with the gloss and shine of a gloss. Perfection!
 
Formulated with naturally moisturizing and nourishing ingredients, the lipstick delivers vivid, flattering, lost-lasting color and shine with a lightweight feel.
 
The formula balances durable color and sheen with a cushiony, comfortable texture. Its key natural ingredients – raspberry and pomegranate extracts – provide effective antioxidant protection.

What a lovely stocking stuffer! $22.
