At the base, notes of Amber and White Musk tinged with Iris leave behind an exquisitely alluring feeling.

JOHN FRIEDA

pulse-beauty-bag-john-frie-copyJohn Frieda’s Full Repair Collection is all about reversing what’s been done and protecting your hair from further damage.

“So many women who come into the salon have absolutely destroyed their hair by over-styling, over-coloring, and generally overdoing it,” explains Harry Josh, John Frieda® International Creative Consultant. “They traumatize their hair trying to get a certain look, but then they can’t maximize it because their hair is so fried. Full RepairTM offers them damage control that won’t weigh their hair down, letting them style to the limit while actually reversing the damage they’ve done to date.”

The Full Repair collection includes:

  • Full Body Shampoo ($6.99): Formulated with Inca Inchi oil, this bodifying shampoo repairs the look and feel of overworked hair as it weightlessly restores bounce for full, flowing styles.
  • Full Body Conditioner ($6.99): Omega-rich Inca Inchi oil repairs hair as the formula smoothes and detangles, reducing the risk of breakage and snagging when combing or brushing.
  • Protecting Root Lift Foam ($6.99): This lightweight foam protects hair from heat damage with Inca Inchi oil while creating instant body. Work into wet or towel dried hair at the roots for weightless lift and high-volume hair when styled.
  • Perfect Ends Deep Infusion ($9.99): This breakthrough product for Medium-Textured Hair instantly absorbs into damaged strands instead of coating the surface, penetrating hair with Inca Inchi oil to weightlessly reverse the look and feel of damage while protecting hair from heat.
  • Perfect Ends Sheer Mist ($9.99): This softening mist for Fine-Textured Hair protects heat-damaged hair with omega-rich Inca Inchi oil. Spray evenly through clean, wet hair, concentrating on ends and damaged areas to weightlessly repair and promote smooth, healthy strands.
  • Touch-up Flyaway Tamer ($9.99): This portable wand polishes broken strands, smoothing flyaways and frayed ends with Inca Inchi oil to keep hair sleek and smooth. Brush the wand over dry, styled hair for on-the-go touch-ups and a boost of shine.

BRANOVATIONS ANNOUNCES  CLEAVA ~ THE SNAP TO BRA CAMI!

cleavaCleava is an innovative garment that snaps around the straps of and between the cups of a bra, back onto itself creating a simulated dress top, like a camisole. The small triangular shape modestly covers only the cleavage area just as a tank top or a full camisole would, without all the extra material around the body.

Cleava is applied with snaps, not with adhesives strips or dots that would leave an ugly red line on the skin after the product is removed. Cleava attaches quickly, on or off, and does require the user to re-engineer placements of adhesive and/or  to continuously purchase adhesive dots or strips. ??Cleava is revolutionary because it does creep up the body causing constant adjustments, does not create extra heat, bulging, visible knots and bumps or making the breasts look deformed. Cleava is more comfortable, cooler and convenient than wearing a tank top and certainly more fashionable then a shirt full of bobby pins.

Since Cleava snaps back onto itself and does not clip, Velcro, adhesives or hooks, on to the bra, there is no damage to the bra or any outfits. And if that wasn’t enough, Cleava is strapless and backless, made with a soft, light fabric that is 92% polyester and 8 % spandex, to ensure coolness and expandability. It is wrinkle resistant and most styles are washer and dryer safe. Due to its ability to expand to one size fits most, Cleava is perfect for all shapes from 28AA to 46H, and is ideal for breastfeeding mothers as a natural companion to a nursing bra. Cleava covers plunging necklines, scaring and cleavage.

The Collection

Original Classic Collection are the plain colors with no lace or patterns on the Cleava. It is available in twenty different colors: Black, White, Nude, Light Beige, Copper Beige, Brown, Light Gray, Gray, Light Green, Olive Green, Light Blue, Aqua Blue, Navy Blue, Light Yellow, Peach, Red, Light Pink, Pink, Light Purple and Purple. One size fits most.

The Rhinestone Splash Collection offers a splash of rhinestones creating a sophisticated look.  It is available with silver stones on black or white. Hand washing is recommended.

The Diamante Edge Collection is an all-time favorite, with its elegant look-alike diamond sequence trim is available in black or white. Hand washing is recommended.

The Black Lace Edge Fina collection is a finer tighter woven top lace trim, offered in White, Nude, Brown, Gray and Aqua Blue. Machine washer and dryer safe.

Lady Lace Collection is modest for the elegant wear pairing.  Layer of lace over solid fabric is all modest, lace over solid fabric revealing zip in black on black, black on white, black on nude, black on aqua, red on red. Machine washer and dryer safe.

Lady Lace Fina Collection. Similar to the favorite Lady Lace. The lace is woven finer in this Fina Lady Lace Collection. Layer of lace over solid fabric. Offered in black on black and black on gray.

Sassy Lace Corso Collection. Lace that shows off just a hint, say no more… Lace only – black, white, nude, red.

South African native Michelle De Sousa invented the Cleava after arriving home after a frustrating day at the office, battling a tank top war she was losing ~ it was constantly rode up, creating bulges and wrinkles on her dress. On a mission to find an alternative, she cut out a piece of material from an old T-Shirt and showed her husband “If this can be attached to the bra, this would be much cooler and have no frustrating adjustments.” After searching the Internet and stores for such a product and having little success, she created her own ~ the Cleava! Women around the world have been thanking her ever since.

Cleavas range in price from $15.95-$24.95 and are available in over 100 boutiques nationwide and online at www.cleava.com.

PHYTO-C SKINCARE’S PRO-HEAL SERUM AND VELVET GEL FOR TOTAL ANTIOXIDANT PROTECTION

The skin naturally uses antioxidants to protect itself from the damaging effects of sunlight.  Virtually ALL plants and animals protect themselves from the sun using vitamin C.  Dr. Mostafa Omar, creator of PHYTO-C Skincare and the pioneer of stabilized liquid Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), has packed a one-two punch with his most innovative products to date.

PHYTO-C Skincare is one of the most advanced and effective skincare lines formulated to heal and treat the skin with natural plants and herbs and improve skin health and appearance.  Using powerful antioxidants, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E and the patented Olive Leaf Extract, Dr. Omar developed Pro-Heal Serum and Velvet Gel.  When working synergistically, this product combination has proved to be superior in protecting the skin against sun damage in contrast to using Vitamin C or Vitamin E alone.

Pro-Heal Serum (Formulation of Vitamin C, E ,A and Olive Leaf Extract) is suitable for all skin types and provides extraordinary antioxidant protection against UV damage by increasing the overall cellular integrity. It facilitates collagen production while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Pro-Heal Serum promotes skin elasticity, lightens and brightens skin while decreasing pigmentation. It also helps to prevent and control acne and heal rosacea.  The Olive Leaf Extract in combination with topical Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin E has shown to provide extraordinary sun protection and anti-inflammatory effects on the skin.  Pro-Heal Serum contains Stabilized Olive Leaf Extract, L-Ascorbic Acid (Liquid Vitamin C), Vitamin E, and Kojic Acid.

Velvet Gel (with Vitamin B3, B5< B12 and Pentapeptide) is applied AFTER Pro-Heal Serum.  Velvet Gel is suitable for all skin types and works to improve the combination of rebounding cells and collagens and provides extraordinary nutrition for skin cell repair. It increases blood circulation, regulates skin separation, nourishes, hydrates and softens skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  Additionally, Velvet Gel contains Hyaluronic Acid, which in combination with L-Ascorbic Acid activates enzymes that stabilize and maintain collagen structure. L-Ascorbic Acid is the only antioxidant that has been proven to increase collagen production which improves tissue strength and the skin’s appearance. Velvet Gel’s active ingredients include: Pentapeptide, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Vitamin B5, Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10 and Hyaluronic Acid.

A clinical study conducted by Dr. Omar and his colleagues concluded that these products can provide useful supplementation to sunscreen protection and may protect against skin cancer and sun damage.

PhytoCeuticals, Inc. continues developing new skincare formulations that are distributed through reputable and reliable cosmeceutical companies worldwide.
