I was first introduced to SK-II when I visited Hong Kong a few years ago, apparently it’s very popular amongst the Asian community. I personally haven’t tried the brand out yet but my friends from HK loves it, have you tried? For fall 2009, SK-II introduces the new Skin Signature Series, founded following a dermatological study revealing that each individual’s skin has a tipping point, where elasticity and resilience begin to decrease more rapidly. SK-II recently developed a new clinical measurement tool to evaluate ones Skin Power (radiance, smoothness, and firm appearance improvements) and did a joint study to record women ranging in age from 22-55 and found the Skin Tipping Point between the ages of 30-40. Although I’m not at that age point yet, learning about it now doesn’t hurt. To help stave off the onset of tipping point effects, SK-II researched a bounty of ingredients, and introduces Oli-Vityl, derived from Tuscan olives to increase anti-oxidant activity and further promote elasticity and resilience. The two new products includes a Skin Signature Cream ($195) – “Power cream” designed for superior hydration while prolonging firmness and Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask ($135) – Two-piece stretchable mask designed to simultaneously address the needs of both the upper hemisphere of the face, tracking horizontal brow lines; and vertical sagging at the jaw line. The new SK-II Skin Signature Series will be available on www.sk-ii.com and at select Saks Fifth Avenue SK-II locations beginning November 2009.
I’m sure a lot of people can agree that the harsh winter weather makes our skin dry and flaky, I always have that problem. And to be honest, sometimes I get quite lazy to moisture after showers especially when it’s cold. For body washes I don’t really stick to one particular body wash, I like to switch around and try new ones out, and I believe it’s recommended so your skin doesn’t get used to it. As the weather got colder, I tried out these new Dove body washes with Nutrium Moisture technology, a breakthrough formula of soybean oil and natural lipids that can nourish deep down, and found it to work pretty well on my skin. According to Dove, the Nutrium Moisture body washes cares for surface skin ten layers deep and this first-of-its-kind body wash technology takes a dual approach to healthy, nourished skin by preserving both proteins and lipids during cleansing. The new body washes were also honored with one of Allure’s 2009 Best of Beauty Breakthrough Awards. I’ve been using different types of Dove body washes for awhile and I like the brand so I wasn’t hesitant to try these new Nutrium Moisture body washes. They’re great for people with dry skin, like myself, which needs a lot of moisture. After showering, my skin felt soft and was less tight and itchy, saved me the trouble of applying body lotion. Give it a try if you’re a lazy one like me lol. More pics after the jump… Spotted this super funny video of outtakes from James Franco’s Gucci by Gucci fragrance commercial over at Bryanboy. He looks super hot in the video but the highlight comes at the very end of the commercial, who would think pronouncing Gucci would be that hard haha, be sure to watch the whole video. I almost died watching it, too funny! Love the spoof, but wonder how Gucci feels about it haha! Peep the official commercial after the jump…

OPI released a new nail polish collection for fall 2009 called Suede featuring the look of lush suede in six best-selling OPI shades. The matte + shimmer nail polish collection is available in six iconic OPI shades: Russian Navy, You Don’t Know Jacques!, Lincoln Park After Dark, Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees, OPI Ink and We’ll Always Have Paris. Like the matte collection, to maintain the Suede by OPI finish, OPI recommends to not use any base coat, top coat, drying drops, or hand lotion when wearing these lacquers. I have yet to try the Suede nail polishes yet but I want to, looks really nice.
