Did you know that there is makeup that adapts to your body’s pH level and creates the perfect color for you? Our favorites are the shade-shifters from Lipstick Queen, and the one that every Style Chicks gal has in her purse at all times is Frog Prince.
Frog Prince Blush by Lipstick Queen is green in the pan but a custom pink shade on the skin
Frog Prince comes in a Cream Blush (pictured above), a lipgloss, and a lipstick. We love all three! I’ve also used the cream blush as a subtle lip stain when I want just a hint of color.
So don’t be scared of the gorgeous emerald green color of this blush in the compact: it will turn into the perfect kiss of rosebud pink – ideal for Summer!
The gorgeous pink shade this blush transforms into within seconds of application! This is one thin layer but more layers can be added for a deeper color.

If you opt for vegan makeup, why accept less from your makeup brushes?
The Pretty In Pink Brush Set by Illuminate contains four vegan brushes
Quick Take
These pretty vegan brushes cover the bases for your facial makeup needs. An ideal set for novices and experts alike, they do powders, creams, liquid, highlight and contour, blending and application. Blends smoothly without streaking. Bristles are soft to the touch and tightly packed. No shedding.
Bristles are fluffy and soft but firm enough to precisely pack and deliver powder, cream or liquid product

The Pretty in Pink Brushes have long tapered handles. They have a nice grip and weight that makes them easy to keep a steady hand while using them.
The brush set includes:
The set has long easy to grip handles.
I particularly like the angled contouring brush. It is stiff enough with just enough bend to get right into the hollow and define with precision. The bristles are soft and not scratchy. It works with powder or cream blushes and contours and gets the placement right the first time. If you have a hard time getting blush or cheek contour placed just where you want it, the Angled brush gets the job done.
Illuminate Pretty In Pink Brush Set Angled Contour Brush
The fan brush delivers a particularly precise, thin placement of product, just the right delicate touch for shimmery products like metallics or highlighters. Note the wispy bristle ends for a delicate kiss of product.

The components are solidly constructed.

They are pink! Not only do these brushes look pretty on our vanity, but the bristles are soft, of good quality and don’t shed. The handles have a good long length to grip well and they each have a nice counterweight feel to balance.
Vegan brushes are a nice find for organic and clean & green beauty fans, or anyone who wants a superior brush set!

Acne is the most common reason to see a dermatologist (1). Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads treat acne quickly without undue irritation. Neutralyze is the first acne treatment system to use Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide improves moderate-to-severe acne within DAYS. Read how Neutralyze uses Nitric Oxide, Salicylic, and Mandelic Acids to treat acne without excess irritation.
Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads for moderate to severe acne
Many acne products are too harsh for sensitive skin. Skin conditions like eczema and rosacea limit acne treatment options. Acne treatments can make wrinkles and dry skin look worse.
Neutralyze combines powerful ingredients for effective acne treatment. It also treats eczema, rosacea, and other skin conditions. It works in days, even on severe acne. There is little to no irritation.
Neutralyze is the first acne treatment system to use Nitric Oxide. It is a new acne treatment ingredient. Nitric oxide is an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial that reduces sebum. (2) Nitric Oxide has only been available for acne by prescription.
Textured pads contain acne treating Nitric oxide
Neutralyze stops acne formation by combining a bHA (beta hydroxy acid) and aHA (alpha Hydroxy Acid) to completely clear pores. BHAs work from the bottom of a pimple up, AHAs work from the top layer of the skin down. This approach has been clinically proven to be highly successful in acne treatment. (3)
Salicylic Acid is a natural bHA from White Willow Bark. It treats acne and promotes collagen.
Salicylic Acid is a bHA (beta hydroxy acid). Salicylic acid purges clogged pores without excess drying. It clears from the bottom of the pore up. Salicylic Acid also helps build collagen to heal acne scars. Collagen production is a nice perk of an acne treatment.
Salicylic acid works better when paired with another peeling agent. A combination of salicylic and mandelic acids was shown to be especially effective on moderate acne. (4).
Neutralyze uses a 2% Salicylic Acid concentration.
Mandelic Acid is a natural skin care ingredient extracted from bitter almonds.
Mandelic Acid is an aHA (alpha hydroxy acid). It gently removes bacteria-trapping dead skin. Dead skin enables acne formation. Dead skin also dulls the complexion and makes fine lines look worse.
Mandelic acid gently treats both acne and signs of skin aging. (5) It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory. (6)
Neutralyze uses a 1% synthesized Mandelic Acid concentration.
Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads include NITROGEN BOOST SKINCARE TECHNOLOGY. Studies show Nitric Oxide improves moderate-to-severe acne within days.
Nitric oxide is found naturally in our bodies. It is an antimicrobial. It reduces Propionibacterium acnes, a key bacteria of acne formation (7). The body doesn’t build a Nitric Oxide resistance. It remains effective for long-term acne treatment. (8)
Studies show Nitric Oxide is gentler than Retinol for treating acne. (9) Nitric Oxide works from the bottom of a pimple upwards. This treats even deep cystic acne without excess surface irritation.
Natural ingredients provide effective treatment for acne, KP, Rosacea, and Eczema
The sealed container holds 100 treatment pads. These pads contain the Neutralyze acne-fighting solution. The treatment pad has a dual exfoliating textured surface. The pads are tear resistant. There are no loose fibers.
A useful feature is the easy-to-grab “pickup-notch” to grab only one pad at a time. No wasted or contaminated pads.

I use one pad a day, two during breakouts
Use one pad per time, one to three times a day. I started with once a day and worked up to two as needed for breakouts.
Since pads are dual-sided, I use one side of the pad on my whole face.
Each container holds 100 pads. Use up to three a day.
Then I use the other side and pay special attention to problem areas. These areas include the blackheads on my nose, and whiteheads on my cheek, and some cystic acne scar marks.
On the first day, acne seemed less swollen and angry.
Textured surface for exfoliation without scrubbing
USE: The pad doesn’t tear apart during use like some treatment pads. One pad is enough to treat my face.
The texture of the pad can provide additional exfoliation, but I didn’t find it necessary to scrub.
We found Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads to be powerful yet gentle in acne treatment.
I also like the light mandelic acid peel effect on the rest of my face. I am not irritated or peeling but my skin remains smooth and nicely exfoliated. After about a week of daily Neutralyze use, my skin had a nice glow to it. A nice acne treatment benefit!
Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads contain natural yet effective ingredients safe for sensitive skin types
I’ve used Salicylic Acid on blackheads before. But some stubborn blackheads around my nose weren’t budging. The Neutralyze combination of three ingredients seems to work for me. The blackheads are loosening up, reducing and exfoliating away. I don’t have any active cystic acne pimples, and my older acne scars seem clearer.
I’m also impressed by how Neutralyze clears up the KP (Chicken Bumps) on my upper arms. The skin is clear and soft. This is a very nice bonus, and for a KP treatment, you can’t beat the price of Neutralyze.
One pad a day keeps pores clear and provides a mild daily exfoliation for brighter skin

What Is Old Feels New Again in the summer. It’s hard to believe it is already July!
Jo Malone London Osmanthus Blossom, once retired, returned in limited edition in 2017. But like summer, it is quickly slipping away from us.
To us, Jo Malone scents seem both nostalgic and new with each wearing. We love that Jo Malone London scents have the ability to conjure up a unique scent every time by layering two or more together for a fragrance uniquely your own. Osmanthus Blossom is no different.
Jo Malone London Osmanthus Blossom
Osmanthus Blossom evokes a fruity aroma of osmanthus blossoms after a rainstorm
Jo Malone Osmanthus Blossom has the scent of Osmanthus blossoms after a rainstorm, something of a juicy fruity aroma.
There are distinct apricot and ripe peach scents. Also a bitter petitgrain, a citrusy orange, and a note of leather to balance.
It is light and feminine and warms well to the skin.
There is a decided honey note that lingers. Some describe a dewy or raindrop note.
Jo Malone Osmanthus Blossom has a distinct ripe peach note that is quintessentially summer
Jo Malone London Osmanthus Blossom feels like spring, summer or fall depending on what secondary scent it is paired with. It has a velvety peach and honey base that plays well with other blends.
Jo Malone Osmanthus Blossom is feminine and warms nicely on the skin, which makes it very suitable for summer and early fall wear all on its’ own.
