Paula Begoun and The Paula's Choice Research Team Have Four Easy Ways Women Can Update Their Look in 2013

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) December 27, 2012

The beginning of the New Year is an exciting time for setting personal goals, whether its weight loss, financial targets, or volunteering more around the community. No matter what the New Years resolution may be, when a woman feels good about their appearance, it helps them put their best foot forward. Here are four easy, but truly effective, ways women can update their look and be more confident in 2013.

1. Play Up Lashes

Sometimes there isn't enough time to apply a perfectly blended set of eyeshadows in the morning. Instead, focus on emphasizing lashes with a great mascara and sweep a thin or smudged liner across the lids for a sophisticated, beautiful look.

This classic look is universally flattering and a chic way to emphasize the eyes in no time flat. To take it a step further, groom and enhance the brows following this step-by-step guide.

How to pull it off: Paulas Choice Illicit Lash Maximum Impact Mascara ($ 10.95), Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum ($ 10.95), and Paula's Choice Browlistic Long-Wearing Precision Brow Color ($ 9.95).

2. Add a Touch of Radiance to The Complexion

Adding an illuminating effect to the face creates a healthy, warm glow and more youthful appearance. Highlight features such as the cheekbones, inner corner of the eyes, bridge of the nose or brow bone by applying a small amount of illuminator and gently sweeping it out to blend in with the rest of the skin, making sure there are no harsh edges.

Beware: Too much shine can make skin look greasy, and products with overt sparkle or glitter look more tacky than classy.

Fail-proof skin illuminators: Avon Mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter ($ 6), Paulas Choice RESIST Cellular Defense Daily Moisturizer with SPF 25 & Antioxidants ($ 24.95), or Yves Saint Laurent Teint Parfait Complexion Enhancer ($ 42).

3. Experiment with Lip Color

Consider breaking out of the comfort zone and adding a pop of color to the lips. This is one of the simplest ways to transform a look and it doesnt add any extra time to a makeup routine.

In a rut with pale pinks and nudes? See what a raspberry shade can do. Tired of the same classic red? Experiment with a coral or pinkish mauve color. Not every lipstick color under the rainbow is going to be suitablethe key is to try several and see what works.

Lip color collections with gorgeous shade options: Paulas Choice Perfect Shine Hydrating Lip Gloss ($ 9.95), Giorgio Armani Rouge DArmani Lipstick ($ 30), and Mary Kay Creme Lipstick ($ 13).

4. Schedule a Professional Hair Consultation

Most salons offer a free hair consultation prior to scheduling an appointment, which is a great way to find out what the pros think, without the pressure of doing it right then and there. Well-trained stylists take several factors into consideration, such as face shape, eye color, skin tone, the way your hair parts, personal skill level when it comes to styling, and so on. Its perfectly fine to think about it for a couple days before booking an appointment. Click here for more hair-care advice.

Beauty Expert Paula Begoun and the Paula's Choice Research Team Share Tips on How Women Can Give Their Skin More Antioxidants for a Youthful Glow

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) December 28, 2012

Antioxidants are an absolute must for radiant, smooth, younger looking skin. Whether part of a well balanced diet or applied topically, antioxidants can help the complexion. Internationally known beauty expert Paula Begoun and her Paulas Choice Research Team share tips on how women can give their skin more antioxidantswithout spending a lot of money.

A key tip: Dont focus on one miracle antioxidant touted by a cosmetics company. There are so many great antioxidants, and when used in combination they help skin look and act younger, while also repairing damage. Just like a diet, eating one food with antioxidants, like grapes or spinach, wont keep the body healthy and young. Likewise for skin care, when women get caught up in the search for the best antioxidants, it almost certainly guarantees they wont end up using the best products. With this in mind, here are five easy ways to add more antioxidants to any skin-care routine:

Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun and the Paula's Choice Team Share Tips on Cool Ways to Wear Green

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) March 11, 2013

Kermit the Frogs famous song Its Not Easy Being Green could very well have been about the fashion faux pas of wearing vibrant green eye makeup. Any vivid eyeshadow color, from blue to red, can be a problem when not applied in a flattering way, but green is especially difficult to wear in a way that doesnt end up looking cartoonish. Yet, when worn correctly, green can look inspired and beautiful. With Saint Patricks Day right around the corner, and this months big screen return of the Emerald City in Oz the Great and Powerful, its time for some expert tips on subtle (and fun) ways to go green.

Cosmetics Cop Paula Begoun and her team, authors of the best-selling book "Dont Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me," explain how to wear a color most people dont think they can pull off.

Paula's Choice Announces Its Certification in the Leaping Bunny Program

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) April 04, 2013

Many people welcome the arrival of spring and the month of April with pastel colors of pink, blue, and yellow; although, animal lovers everywhere are celebrating with orange. Why? Because orange is the color of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. Every April, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals hosts an awareness campaign designed to help end the inhumane treatment of animals in all aspects including animal testing on beauty products.

Seattle-based cosmetics company Paulas Choice LLC, has been cruelty-free for 17 years - and this month is proud to announce it will be wearing orange in a big way as the newest, certified member of the Leaping Bunny Program. Companies certified through the Leaping Bunny Program have made a voluntary pledge to eliminate animal testing from all stages of product development.

To celebrate this important milestone, Paulas Choice is holding We Love Our Animals Photo Contest on its Facebook page. To enter, all someone has to do is post their favorite animal or pet photo along with a comment about why they believe beauty products should never be tested on animals. Each week, one photo will win a $ 100 Paula's Choice gift certificate. In the final week of the 4-week contest, a grand-prize winner will win a years supply of Paulas Choice skin-care products of their choice. Even better, if people want to shop Paulas Choice after entering the contest, the company will donate 5% of their purchase to the Johns Hopkins University Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing.

The requirements for the Leaping Bunny Certification include a promise to eliminate animal testing not only from the company, but also from their ingredient suppliers. The result is a product guaranteed to be 100% free of new animal testing. All Leaping Bunny companies must be open to independent audits, and commitments are renewed on an annual basis. The program is administered by a coalition of animal rights organizations, including the Humane Society of the United States and the National Anti-Vivisection Society.

Paulas Choice namesake founder Paula Begoun states, All of us are thrilled to have this certification as definitive proof of our commitment to not test on animals. Our pet friendly office with 15 dogs is proud of us, too.

hCG Lifestyle Releases List of the Top Editor's Choice for HCG Drops

Largo, FL (PRWEB) May 13, 2013

As the world faces overweight and obesity issues of epidemic proportions, people are becoming increasingly alarmed and, consequently, conscious about their health. Weight loss is now a serious goal that individuals want to achieve with healthy diet, enough rest and regular exercise. More often than not, however, shedding those excess pounds naturally is considered an insurmountable task by many. To help aid weight loss efforts, certain solutions have been formulated to provide quick results in a healthy way.

The integration of HCG diet in one's lifestyle is considered an important aid to losing weight. HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone that is found in pregnant women, and has lately been known to help lose weight naturally. As such, HCG Drops have been conceptualized and formulated, along with the HCG diet plan, to help people in their struggle to achieve the right weight. Although not for everyone, HGC Drops are useful to many who have tried the product.

HCG Lifestyle.com is dedicated to featuring HCG Drops, the weight loss aid that is gaining popularity among users who want great results. As there are many products and brands of HCG Drops in the market, the website has created its very own list of the best based on certain factors.

Following a thorough evaluation of various HCG Drops available in the market, HCG Lifestyle has named three of the top products. The HCG Drops on the list have passed various criteria, including the product's ingredients and formulation, a hard-to-resist guarantee from the manufacturer, and overall product value. The website also took into consideration testimonials from actual users who verify the efficacy of the products.

Topping the HCG Lifestyle best HCG drops list is HCG Lifestyle, which promises to help people lose up to a pound a day and provide assistance throughout your weight loss program. The HCG Lifestyle drops are to be taken subliminally or under the tongue.

HCG Canada Group is the second best product on the HCG Lifestyle list. The product was named as such to incorporate four elements in the HCG program. HCG Canada Group puts together (1) charts; (2) recipes; (3) support; and (4) instructions to the target one-pound-a day weight loss benefit it promises.

According to HCGLifestyle.com, HCG Amino Plus is a great choice as it is is formulated with 7 amino acids that help boost fat burning, and increase energy and metabolism to provide the ideal weight loss results.

To find out more about the top-rated HCG Drops products among the numerous brands available today, please visit http://www.hcglifestyle.com/ for information or call (888) 604-3104.
