Eyeshadow quad how to....
Do you know that most women who own an eyeshadow quad rarely use all of the shades?
Why, you ask?
The hidden truth is because many don’t know how to use each of the shades correctly.
Make the most of your quad with this easy how-to:
• The deepest shade in your quad should be applied closest to your upper lash line, to help define.
• The lightest shimmery shade should be applied to your browbone and the inner corners of your eyes as a highlighter
• The 2nd palest shade should be applied all-over your lids
• The medium shade should be blended into the crease to add depth and definition
VoilĂ ! The eyeshadow quad demystified in 4 easy steps.

Hair Removal Techniques
If hair removal ranks right up there with bathing suit shopping as a dreaded pre-summer chore, we have great news for you! Skin So Soft Fresh and Smooth hair removal products make it easier than ever to get super smooth whether you prefer to wax, shave or use a depilatory. And, the Fresh and Smooth line has been completely revamped with a new formula, new scents and a new look.
Not sure which one to use? Consider the benefits of each:
Depilatory: Fast! Hair comes off in as little as 2.5 minutes.
Wax: Long-lasting. Plus, you can skip the salon and wax at home!
Shaving: Easy to do in the shower as often as needed.
To try: New Shower-Off Hair Removal Cream. It’s a real time-saver! Here’s how it works: Apply it to dry skin, then step into the shower and follow your usual routine (it’s water-resistant so it won’t wash right off, but you should try to keep treated parts of your skin out of the direct stream of water). After 3 minutes, check the treated area by wiping a small section with the removal sponge provided. When ready, use the sponge to wipe all treated areas of your skin and rinse well. Bonus: it exfoliates at the same time so your skin will be extra smooth. Follow the complete instructions provided for best results.
Save on all the new Skin So Soft Fresh & Smooth Hair Removal Products on pages 178-179 in the C10 Brochure.

Test your Sun Smarts Q&A
Think you know everything there is to know about the sun, its effects on your skin and what you can do to stay protected?
How much time in advance should you apply sunscreen prior to sun exposure?
Apply sunscreen liberally and evenly at least 15 – 20 minutes prior to sun exposure. Reapply after excessive sweating, perspiring or towel drying.
Do you really need to wear sunscreen every day?
The answer is an absolute YES. Sunscreen should always be applied to skin that will be exposed to the sun. When you consider that the sun’s harmful rays can even penetrate car windows, it makes good sense to apply sunscreen rather than take chances.
How does sunscreen fit into my existing skin care routine?
Simply apply the sunscreen as the final step.
Is there a way to protect skin from the sun while helping to reduce visible signs of aging?
Yes, Anew Sun Sunscreen Face Lotion SPF 45 and Anew Sun Sunscreen Body Lotion SPF 30 are formulated with RepairShield Technology, which not only protects skin with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen, but also helps to reduce visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and discolorations.

Colours you thought you couldn’t wear…
When it comes to colour, sometimes the eye is attracted to bold, fun shades, while the brain is left wondering… “Will that look good on me? Or … Can I really pull that off?” We’re here to tell you the truth behind colour and how everyone, yes everyone, can wear it well.
Today’s formulations are often rich in pigment and high on moisturization. This is particularly true when it comes to lipstick formulas. If you see a colour you like, go ahead and try it. The mix of moisture adds a wearable sheerness to the shades. Moisture Seduction lipstick makes a great choice with its rich, moisture-infused colour.
When it comes to eyes, many new shadows feature high intensity pigments which can create a pop of saturated colour or layered on lightly can deliver a soft n’ natural look. With shadow, it’s all about a light or heavy hand and building intensity till you achieve your desired look. A great place to experiment is with mark on the dot eye color compact.
Mascaras are a great place to experiment with colour. Toss aside your old black for a minute and give navy a try. Yes, navy. You’ll be amazed and how bright the whites of your eyes will appear after a applying a few coats of a Navy mascara like Smooth Minerals Mascara.
Nails are the easiest place to have fun with colour. Bold brights in primary colours and fresh metallics are the new “it” shades. Try Nailwear Pro in Sunshine, Fuchsia, Blue Shock or Tangtastic! Wear them with confidence and think of them as an accessory.

5 Tips for Clearer Skin
hether you suffer from regular or occasional breakouts, changes in season can often trigger a new crop of blemishes. Here are a few simple things that you can do to stop the breakout cycle and reveal a clearer face just in time for spring.
1) Don’t over-cleanse. Skin should be cleansed both morning and night. Over-cleansing strips away your skin’s own natural protective barrier which actually makes it more susceptible to bacteria. Plus, over-cleansing can often make skin oilier since oil glands produce more oil in order to compensate for the natural oils that have been stripped away.
2) Be gentle. People often think that they need to be overzealous in their cleansing routine, when in fact, it’s the total opposite. Always use gentle circular motions when cleansing or exfoliating. Scrubbing will only irritate your skin and aggravate existing breakouts.
3) Never use hot water. Instead, opt for tepid/lukewarm water.
4) Change pillowcases frequently. Oil from your face, hair and hair products can build up on pillowcases. The last thing acne-prone skin needs is more oil and pore-clogging debris.
5) Choose soothing products that are suitable for adult acne. Such formulations are designed to be gentler on skin.
Clearskin Professional Acne Treatment System makes an ideal choice. Just 3 steps, morning and night and you’ll see a difference
in just 3 days!
