Beauty Breakthroughs

Taxes, directions, dinner reservations…theres an app for that. You can even donate your organs by iPhone. But cellulite? A chipped nail? Raccoon Eyes? Forget it. Toner in geek world is just something you put inside a printer. Alas, what’s a gorgeous, gadget loving gal to do? Behold: Beauty 2.0. Upgraded to reflect the latest advances in cosme-technology, these promising new products haven’t met a glamour glitch they couldn’t fix. Now that’s genius.

Plastic: fine for credit cards and Barbie Dolls, but not so much your face. Leave the scalpel for those Desperate Housewives and opt for a decidedly less drastic measure: StriVectin’s Instant Facial Sculpting Cream ($79). Dubbed the Michelangelo of facial fixers, this multi-tasking moisturizer tightens and lifts that which gravity hath let go.

Manicure $12. Pedicure. $35. Having your polish chip 5-minutes after leaving the salon….infuriating. Thankfully, OPI seems to have nailed the problem with their new Axxium Soak Off Gel Lacquers. Available in professional salons, the super-strong polish is dried under UV light and is proven to last for up to two weeks. We can already hear the extra change jingling in our pockets.

Like inflatable furniture and cats that play fetch, stenciled-on brows are just plain weird. If you’ve plucked yours to the brink of strange, get back to normal with Peter Thomas Roth’s Brows To Die For Serum ($85). The nourishing, patent-pending conditioner is formulated to plump follicles and enhance the appearance of sparse uneven brows. Hair raising.

You can eat all the bran cereal you (um) want, but if you haven’t tried Fiberwig’s Beyond Mineral Mascara ($24), you’re definitely not getting enough. The top selling mascara in Japan (so you better believe its cutting edge)has a fiber-fortified formula engineered to coat the surface of each lash with long-lasting, clump free color.

Reason number 157 why we hate Giselle? Her perfect cheeks (all of em). But thanks to Cheek Implants ($26) by Purple Lab Cosmetics things are finally looking up. Built with collagen, hyaluronic acid and nylon the revolutionary, peachy hued blush brings out your inner Brazilian beauty. Now, if only squats were that easy.

Stripping is never easy but there’s no need for the trauma thanks to She Uemura’s  White Recovery Brightening Cleansing Oil ($75). The advanced formula oil removes makeup and impurities while delivering a potent dose of vitamin C so you’re left with nothing but luminous looking skin…because we all want to look better naked.

    These all look like great products to try. My nail salon has a product called Shellac which is very similar to the OPI nail polish.
