Researchers in Denmark say that the way liposomes are perceived in beauty needs to change after showing that the vesicles, often praised by cosmetics companies for their alleged ability to transport active ingredients into the skin, cannot actually penetrate; but rather help the process get underway.

Beauty Find - Pixi Glow Peel Pads
Pixi made me smile when I saw that they had expanded their amazing Glow line. *Read our review of the Pixi Face Glow Mist here. Their newest product are the Pixi Glow Peel Pads.
The Pixi Glow Peel Pads contain 20% Glycolic Acid (which is 15% more than in their Glow Tonic by the way). This is a peel that makes a real difference in the look and feel of skin.
Since this is a peel, I took care to follow the instructions to the letter. I swiped the pads, which have a good amount of product, but are not dripping wet, across my skin and left the product on for no more than 5 minutes (because I can tolerate acids well, but the time given on the product directions is 2-3 minutes, which I recommend you start with).
I felt a prominent tingling sensation, but my skin didn't burning or become irritated. After I splashed my face with water to remove, all sensations of tingling/warmth disappeared.

The next step is to wait a few minutes before adding additional skin care products from your regimen. My skin felt very smooth, and a bit tighter in the drier areas of my face, like my cheeks, but not overly dry or flaky.
I added an essence and moisturizer and was very impressed with how great my skin looked throughout the day. Plumper, brighter and more toned. I also got great results using on my neck and decolletage as well.
This is a perfect at-home (or on the road because of it's travel friendly packaging), treatment to give your skin that healthily "boost" during the week. It's recommended for use 1x week, (but again you may want to experiment to find the best frequency for you).

Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream
As much as I love make up (and y'all know I do), skincare has always been my first love. Ever since my first taste of doing research for Lancôme's Genifique range in the corporate world, I became interested in the ingredients that go into each skincare product created. There are so many cool technologies being developed in the skincare world that it's exciting but hard to keep up with what is cool and what is...not. When the Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream ($65) landed on my doorstep, I was excited because I love Sunday Riley skincare.
Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream is a lightweight, oil-free formula that promises to brighten and illuminate while providing up to 24 hours of moisture for a youthful, plump appearance. The best part is that they promise it's for ALL skin types. Call me a skeptic but HOW, SWAY?
Well, Tidal offers two forms of hyaluronic acid for a more youthful, hydrated look as well as papaya enzymes to smooth and exfoliate. Also part of the formula are alpha-arbutin and exotic floral extracts that work to brighten hyperpigmentation spots and illuminate the complexion.
I'm excited to try this as well as their Luna Sleeping Night Oil once my ANR serum is over. If Claire likes it, I need it ;)
Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water Cream is available at Sephora now.
Disclosure: I received this as a sample for editorial consideration. Will report back on my experience in a few weeks.

MAC Charlotte Olympia Collection
The MAC Charlotte Olympia Collection is one of the classiest looking MAC collections I’ve seen in awhile.

X-Men: Apocalypse Actress Alexandra Shipp Shares What It's Really Like to Shave Your Head
Ready to do something new with your look? All month long we're asking our 25 favorite influencers to share their 25 best beauty ideas for spring. Look out for the 25x25 logo here on Lipstick and on our social channels—@get_lipstick on Instagram and @glamourmag on Snapchat—for exclusive tips, tricks, and tutorials. Up first: daring haircuts. Read on!
Have you ever had such a bad hair day that you wished you could just buzz all your hair off? Well, Alexandra Shipp did—but for a dream role. The actress is starring in X-Men: Apocalypse (out May 27) as Storm, a badass superhero with a "badass" silver mohawk. So, Shipp is not only talented but she's also that girl who's gorgeous and cool enough to rock a shaved head. She gave us the lowdown on what her post-buzz life is like, including a whole new beauty routine and a lot less time in the shower. Below, the five most surprising things she learned from the experience.
1. You'd be shocked by how many women out there also have a buzz cut. "From the minute I shaved my head, I started to see so many girls with shaved heads too. It's like when you're about to buy a car and you get it...and then you realize everyone around you has that exact same car. Whenever I see someone else it's always like, 'Hey, fist bump, girl!'"
2. People perceive you differently. "People won't mess with you if you have a shaved head. I guess I'm carrying on the Storm spirit. Storm is definitely a rock star. She is such a badass. And the mohawk is so cool."
3. Makeup becomes way more important. "Since I shaved my head, I can't hide behind my curls like I used to. Suddenly your eyes become the focal point. So, now I have to figure out how to do my own makeup. I love the Benefit They're Real Mascara in the silver tube. That stuff makes me look like I have baby doll lashes, and I love it. I needed mascara that would really make them pop—and this does it. I use tinted moisturizer, fill in my brows a bit, and then just use the mascara."
4. Showers are so much faster. "I'm really liking the shaved head. I kind of think that every woman should shave her head at least once. It's so liberating, and my showers take two seconds. There's no waiting for my conditioners to soak in. I'm so low maintenance right now."
5. But there is one unexpected downside: The struggle with dandruff is real. "I didn't know you had to moisturize your head. I found that out the hard way by just scratching my head one day, and my scalp was so dry, it started to flake. You can use lotion on it, but I actually just like to do a quarter size of coconut oil. I rub that over my hair at night, and then I wake up in the morning with hair that is nice and shiny. It smells amazing and leaves no flakes."
Shipp before buzzing her hair in early 2015 versus late last year after the cut.
Not sure you're ready to brave the buzz? Here's another big cut we're loving for spring.

Revisiting Calia by Carrie Underwood
shirt / pants / bag / socks
For those of you who have been around for a while, you'll have probably read a post about Carrie Underwood's Fitness Wear Collection, Calia a while ago (here). Well, in recent weeks, I've been thinking about her collection and really wishing she would extend the sizes to fit someone like me, who's bigger than an a small-running XL.
And then it happened....
See that shirt up there? The Women's Knot T-Shirt? It's comes in up to a 2X, which is amazing. I know it won't cover everyone, but it will cover more than the original line did. The Journey Pocket Pants come in up to an XL which will work just fine for me. Again, not for everyone, but it's a step in the right direction. Also, I've been looking for a new gym bag and while Target usually has my heart in all things totes, the Everyday Tote featured here is really quite nice.
Calia is sold exclusively at Dick's Sporting Good's so make sure you find your nearest one and check it out.

Why Your Protein Choices Matter If You Want to See a Rebirth of Your Complexion!
 |
| Beautiful skin starts within so learn how to best feed your complexion instead of starving it with this helpful post. |
If you want to repair and rebuild the skin, hair, nails, muscles, bones, and organs, then you need protein. After all, protein is the source of amino acids L-lysine and L-proline that are necessary for stimulating collagen to grow new, younger cells. Without the eight essential amino acids that your body can’t manufacture on its own, your complexion and overall body will suffer, aging more rapidly than it has too as well as negatively affect your health.
Thus, the best proteins that you want to concentrate on are lean meats, egg whites, beans and especially lentils, nuts, whole grains, skinless poultry, chicken, and turkey that are preferably organic.
The reason too chose organic meats or dairy is because of all the use of hormones and steroids to make the animals fatter or able to produce more milk like with all the estrogen fed to cows along with all the antibiotics to keep them healthier and stronger. The only problem is those hormones and antibiotics can bring on inflammation and other health concerns such as playing havoc with your own hormone levels so the body will be unable to renew cells.
Fish is another highly regarded protein to help transform your skin since they contain omega-3 fatty acids. Yet, all fish are not created equally. The best ones to shop for are salmon, mackerel, tuna and halibut. However, our oceans are not the same for our fish with all the chemical spills, nuclear accidents and global warming as they were centuries before. These days there is plenty of mercury in our seafood that needs to be taken into consideration.
Mackerel, tuna steaks, and orange roughy happen to have the highest mercury levels according to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
Next, on the watch list for high mercury levels are bluefish, canned Albacore tuna, grouper, sea bass, and mackerel.
Fish such as Alaskan cod, halibut, monkfish, tuna (canned chunk light), snapper and perch among others have moderate mercury levels.
The fish with the lowest concentrations of mercury are flounder, haddock, herring, salmon, sardines, scallops, whitefish, sole, catfish, Tilapia, and oysters. Here is a printable card from the NRDC with their recommendations on fish and their mercury levels that you may want to take with you when you go shopping as a handy reference.
Therefore, eat fish no more than three times a week and you might want to avoid it totally if you’re pregnant to be on the safe side.
Interestingly enough is what to look for if you suspect mercury poisoning because the signs will show up on your skin. This is not a diagnosis, but if you are a big fish eater that consumes a fish meal nearly most days of the week then brown spots suddenly on your skin, droopy eyelids, bags under the eyes, hair loss, tingling, hyperpigmentation and other skin issues like tingling, burning, itching might be due to mercury. However, only your doctor with proper testing can determine the exact cause for sure.
As far as protein portions go, the amount will vary depending on own body and weight. Nonetheless, you should allot 40 percent of all your normal daily calories to protein for optimal skin beauty.
There is more to feeding your complexion than just protein and I will expand in a future post. Still, the information on remodeling your diet with the right sources of protein can help take your dull, aging complexion in a younger, fresher direction!
