Looking to change your look? These picks will get you looking fiiiiiiiiiiiine, in an instant.
Instantly Create Smooth Hair: While a thick, mask-like conditioner is always a good move, prepping with a treated shampoo, minus the sodium chloride, is hard to come by. I’m currently obsessed with Obliphica’s Original Treatment Shampoo, containing natural softeners, antioxidants (from Sea Buckthorn, duh) & nutrients that has seemingly brought my Moroccanoil hair mask to a whole new level. With a protective layer that stabilizes the hair & scalp’s pH level, it fixed, and continues to fix, my dry-hair woes after just 1 shampoo. Plus, the handy pump bottle is shower & travel friendly. Love. $33 [buy]
Instantly Appear Photo Ready: After a full makeup application that seems to fall flat in the glow department, a killer highlighter that won’t muss up any of my perfect application, always is angelic. Lately, Girlactik Beauty’s Chic Shine not only had the best name of a product line in the galaxy, but it produces a believably dewy glow, without looking like a disco ball, so you can kick dull skin to the curb. Even if you’re just running out, this will make bare skin glisten with a natural glow. And thankfully, the compact is perfectly teeny enough to keep in your purse for pretty-cheek touch-ups, and after-lunch corner of the eye revivals. $16 [buy]
Instantly Look Years Younger: If you’re on the extreme side, when it comes to wrinkles, instant gratification usually doesn’t come with the package. While uber pricey La Prairie creams require a dedicated schedule, and the willpower to use with diligence to get the full effects, that often seems much easier than going under the knife, or getting a needle all stuck up in your forehead. Rejoice: now you don’t have to choose either. Pelleve, the honest-to-heavens, no-joke ‘lunch time’ treatment, gives a fresh, youthful appearance after just one trip to the doctor’s office. No needles or knives for miles. The process, including some clear goop on face and a warming rod, feels like the nicest little facial massage on the planet, and uses heat to form of electromagnetic waves, which are absorbed by the surrounding tissue, creating a heated treatment zone to break down collagen, and reform it, bigger and better than ever. While I admit, my 24 years of life has not yet struck me with wrinkles from hell… but I see lines that I’d love to prevent from getting any worse, and this nixed any sign of them.

Side Effects from my Pelleve procedure Dr. Lorenc’s UES office? Although I’m normally a little pink-faced, as an Irish person, the redness was quite robust after the process — the same I get after running a couple of vigorous miles. After that, mild (welcomed) swelling lasted for a couple of days afterward, making me look like I was 17 again, with results getting better and better for up to 3 months.. All sorts of magical. I officially give Pelleve two, ready for prom, 17 again, thumbs up. Also: products were provided for review, but I loved ’em.
