The season of tan lines and sun burns is upon us. With all of the beach trips and cookouts that summer brings, our skin takes a serious beating in harmful ways that goes beyond resembling a freshly cooked lobster.
But with a little help from your smartphone, the My Own App allows you to personally assess your skin’s health with just a click of your camera. Simply snap a photo of your face, enter your date of birth and skin type and within minutes, you’ll receive an analysis of your complexion. Once the analysis is complete you are given a beauty number based on the amount of fine lines, deep wrinkles, and hyper-pigmentation of your skin along with recommendations on health, wellness and beauty regimes to improve your skin’s health.
There’s also a tracking tool, which lets you see how your complexion changes over time, motivating you to keep up with the recommended skin care and wellness regimen. It’s like having a portable dermatologist right on your phone. With this smart and easy app, healthy, beautiful skin can be yours this summer with a just few taps of your fingers. My Own App is free and available for iPhone, iPad and Android.

Wherever I may be, a Maybelline product is guaranteed to be close by, as I’ve become extremely attached to practically everything the brand has whipped up, lamenting when items become discontinued or the limited edition no longer available, but quickly forgotten as new favorite come into the mix. Maybelline truly never disappoints, and for the price point, always offers incredibly innovative technology and value.
Without further ado, I present the amazing goodies, picture in the slideshow above, and described below, that land in stores nationwide this June and July:

“A little dab will do you” is certainly the adage that comes to mind when describing how to best use the Aveda Men Pure-Formance™ Grooming Cream. One of a handful of products from the Pure-Formance line, which also includes shampoo, conditioner, grooming clay, and aftershave, the Grooming Cream has an incredibly light, pliable texture with a zesty mint aroma that our Fashion Pulse Man declares as smelling “really fresh and awesome.”
The fragrance includes a combination of aromas that can take on a unisex flare, such as citrus and certified organic essential oils of spearmint, vetiver, and lavender. It works equally well on fine, as well as thick curly (unruly) hair, adds a tiny bit of shine, as well as weightless, effortless hold sans the stickiness of other similar products. Plus, if you really really love it, through Aveda.com you can sign up for a replenishment service that will deliver more Grooming Cream to your door every 30, 45, 60, 75. 90, or 120 days (or you can make a one-time purchase).
