glominerals Spring 2009 collection - SNEAK PEEK! - Part 3

Today's sneak peek product was chosen because of the completely GORGEOUS weather we are having in Denver today. It's sunny, warm....and definitely doesn't feel anything like February!

Since I'm in a warm weather mindset, I've been dreaming of everything spring and summer brings...flowers, green grass and most notably a bronzed skin tone (much lovlier than my current pasty whiteness)!

Though now, I don't need to wait until the beach to look like a bronzed goddess all thanks to...

gloSheer tint base bronzing gel
It's a gel based bronzer that gives a perfect healthy (and foolproof) glow! You can wear it alone for a sheer sun-kissed look or you can layer with foundation (on top or beneath). I've been applying it before my gloPressed base and really like the look - it adds warmth but (back to my winter pastiness) it looks really subtle and natural considering the rest of me is not quite up to full sun-kissed speed.

glominerals Spring 2009 collection - SNEAK PEEK! - Part 2

I bet you have been anxiously awaiting this second installment all last night, right?!
Well wait no more...the second sneak peek product from glominerals Spring Collection is....

gloTint for cheeks and lips

If you've never used a cheek or lip stain you may be weary, but fret not, its as simple as can be. Though it looks super dark in the tube, this gel-like formula comes out the prettiest rosy pink you can imagine.

A quick dab on lips gives that youthful, 'I just ate a bowl full of fresh cherries' look...similar to what many of the starlets were wearing the other night at the Oscars. Plus, you can customize by layering on any other lip color. I LOVE the color but for my date a few nights ago I wanted just a little more shine. gloLiquid lips in precious (it's clear) made for a super quick fix and voila! Glammed up and ready for a night out!

On cheeks, make sure to start with a little, then build color to achieve what you want. It leaves a completely natural looking flush which can be worn alone or is pretty when a subtle bronzer or shimmer brick is applied on top to highlight cheekbones and add a little sparkle....cheeky!

Until tomorrow...

Ask the Expert - To peel or not to peel?

Welcome to the first edition of our NEW Ask the Expert series, where your most pressing skin related questions and problems are solved by our resident experts!



Our first question is one we get a lot! It is answered by Sarah Burns, glotherapeutics creator and Product Manager. To learn more about Sarah click here.



Q: If I did not experience skin sloughing after a peel, was the treatment effective?

A: Yes. When a light chemical exfoliation treatment is performed you may or may not get skin sloughing. There are many variables that will contribute to the skin's response. If you do not peel, the treatment is still effective. The use of home care products, different prepping methods and treatment options will affect the outcome. Everyone responds differently to the acids and each acid has different properties. If it is a treatment that you regularly undergo, the skin can become resilient to it. It may be necessary to "outsmart" the skin by changing the treatment. Additionally, some peels offer the option of a refreshing treatment without the downtime (i.e. no sloughing). This also many be the case where a series of treatments are designed for progressive results rather than aggressive results. Work with your aesthetician to decide which treatments are right for you.
