Give your Skin an energy boosting skin cocktail

Give your Skin an energy boosting skin cocktail

As season’s change, so does your skin! So how can you help your skin transition with the new weather? Give it a cocktail boost with Bio-Therapeutic’s bt-cocktail. I’ve had this energy boosting trio for a while, but only recently got to try it out. In a nutshell, Bio-Therapeutic’s bt-cocktail is an energy system that optimizes the cellular health of your skin. The trio of products should be used as a cocktail for between 30-45 days. All you need to do is apply Energy 1, 2 and 3 after each other, morning and night. Together, the bt-cocktail works to nourish and protect your skin, while enhancing Mitochondria. Mitochondria is the heart of where ATP is manufactured. And ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), is the energy source that supports all living things. In the body, ATP stores are gradually reduced as we age, which in turn slow down the body’s cellular functions and as a result, increase the signs of aging. Bio-Therapeutic’s bt-cocktail helps to create the ultimate environment for ATP synthesis to get rid of and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve elasticity and give your skin a healthy glow. Here’s a quick look at the ingredients and benefits of each of the individual products Energy 1 contains licochal­cone as a sebum regulator, which helps to reduce oil,…

Reese Rocks The Red Carpet in a Blue Gown and Jewels

The lovely Reese Witherspoon rocked, and I literally mean she rocked, the red carpet at this year’s Oscars in a gorgeous Louis Vuitton gown and jewels fit for a princess! Made in the Louis Vuitton atelier in Paris, her blue silk faille gown fitted beautifully with a Louis Vuitton bow signature on the neckline. The gown featured a black contrast trim on the corset, bow and back, and was finished off with a modern bustle and train.   Her jewels, also Louis Vuitton sparkled as she walked the red carpet. She wore a white gold bracelet, encrusted with 6.46 carat diamonds from the Voyage dans le temps collection, and the matching 2.62 carat diamond earrings. On her finger she wore a white gold, onyx, and 5.02 carat diamond ring from the L’Ame du Voyage collection.

Fab or Drab: Would you wear Jail Stripes? [Poll]

Fab or Drab: Would you wear Jail Stripes? [Poll]

It’s been a while since we’ve had a poll here on StyleScoop, and I thought today’s scoop was perfect for our first poll of 2013! Jail Stripes! What do you think of solid-striped black and white print on clothing? I’m kinda feeling the skirt from Mr Price, but not so sure about the jailhouse jeans from Cotton On, they look a little bit too ‘convict’ for my liking. When we spotted them at the new Cotton On Store at The Pav, I was like “hmmm, I don’t think so”, while my sister in law said she’d definitely wear them. I’d love to know what you think and dont’ forget to take our quick poll too… [poll id=”26″]

Seriously Wicked Wedges

Seriously Wicked Wedges

I’d be lying (and you know I would) if I said I wasn’t completely, insanely, truly, madly, deeply in love with shoes! The higher the heel… bring it! Now as much as I love sexy heels, I’m equally obsessed with wedges, possibly more obsessed with wedges. Wow wedges that is… Here are three Seriously Wicked Wedges I’d love to have in my closet right now… The Simple Classic  Trust Steve Madden to bring out a quality, stylish and makes-my-legs-look-miles-longer pair of wedges that are in our financial grasp! I actually saw these babies, called Pammy at Edgars (on sale noggal), but they were out of the black in my size and only had them in pink. Maybe, maybe, maybe I’ll go back for them… The Dream Machine I could soooo picture myself eating nothing but beans on toast to save up for a pair of these. Oh bugger saving up, I’d totally max out my credit card without second guessing – if I could find this pair of Giuseppe Zanotti wedges, that is. Who knows, maybe while I’m in Europe my prayers will be answered and I’ll find a pair? Also that my credit card will be kind enough to let me splurge on them. Dear bank manager, I hope you are reading…

Lady Gaga is Coming to South Africa

Lady Gaga is Coming to South Africa

All right little monsters, it’s official, and you’ve probably heard already, but in the odd event that you do live under a rock and haven’t heard, Lady Gaga will be performing in live in South Africa this year! Two shows have been scheduled, one in Johannesburg and one in Capetown! Part of her Born This Way Ball, Lady Gaga will be performing at Johannesburg’s FNB Stadium on the 30th November and at Cape Town Stadium on the 3rd December 2012. According to Big Concerts, tickets will go on sale, online at www.computicket.com, tomorrow, 19th June 2012 and I reckon their site will experience a huge traffic spike, lets hope it can handle it! I for one, cannot wait! Who else is going gaga over Lady Gaga coming to SA?
