Ombre isn’t a new trend–we’ve been seeing it for years, on everything from clothing to nail art to hair. And yet, its popularity still isn’t fading! Why? Probably because ombre is so fun to create and so easy to DIY. Julep has shared a new ombre nail art tutorial that uses colors from their 'Fall Into Ombre' Welcome Box - FREE when you join Julep Maven.
Let's get started!
1. Choose three polishes that blend well together, spanning from dark to light. Not sure what to pick? You can’t go wrong with a deep, opaque color, a lighter shade of the same color, and white. Polish your nails with your darkest color. Allow them to dry.
2. Pour two small dollops of your medium and light colors on a smooth surface (like a piece of wax paper). The two dollops together should be about two-thirds the length of your nails. Use a toothpick or orangewood stick to swirl them together slightly so they mix in the middle, forming a gradient.
3. Dip the edge of a cosmetic sponge directly into your dollops of nail polish then align the sponge so that the lightest color is at the tip of your nail. Press the polish onto your nails with the sponge, dabbing and repeating until you achieve the desired effect. This doesn’t have to be precise!
4. Clean up the edges with our polish corrector pen or a thin brush dipped in polish remover. Finish with a top coat. Voilà!

I've always loved vitamin C serums, but they were always so insanely expensive and generally only available from dermatologists or boutique/spa brands. To be able to find a serum of this quality at such a low price is incredible. It's a large bottle and will last forever, you only need a few drops. It's nourishing and feels really good when you put it on your skin and I saw results almost immediately. Discolorations fade and the skin tightens- it does a particularly good job on the back of your hands at turning back the clock. My hands look younger and smoother and the skin is tighter while some of my heavy freckling is fading. I'm a big fan of this blend as well, you get not only a high level of vitamin C, but a ton of other wonder ingredients to boost it's efficacy. This is a good serum to use in the mornings under your makeup to boost sun protection and the prevention of free radicals! It also has Vitamin E and Hyaluronic acid!!!

Here are some Quick Tips to help you get the best out of your Very Healthy Spiral Slicer:
For Picking Vegetables: - For the best spiralizing experience, pick vegetables that are 1 1⁄2 to 1 3⁄4 inches thick. - Try to pick the most ripe/mature vegetables, so that they are softer. - Try using straight vegetables with minimum bumps and bends, for best results.
For Picking Blade Size: - For very soft and moist vegetables like cucumbers, we recommend using the side with the large cut blades. - For very firm veggies like carrots, use the small size blades for the best results.
For Spiralizing: - Try to apply even pressure and speed on the vegetables when twisting. - If you feel a blockage, do not force, try to unblock with the flexible brush provided. - Almost every time there will be a pencil-sized core remaining after the veggie is spiralized, so that the seeds are stopped from ending up on your plate. - At the end of the spiralizing, there will be a little cone of leftover veggie which you can slice with a knife. This happens for safety reasons.

So now that you know more about the ins and outs of getting the most from your retinol cream, it's time to find a good one, and I think I might have hit the mother lode here. Forlan has really impressed me with this cream. You can read all about the ingredients and their benefits below; I'm going to focus here on my specific experience.
First of all, let me point out that I have sensitive skin and retinols are notorious for sometimes irritating some people's skin. I did not have this problem at all. After applying I do feel a slight tingling, but it's not painful, it's actually somewhat refreshing! I even put it under and around my eyes with no problem (slightly stingy here, but very slight and it went away quickly ). I saw an immediate superficial difference on my first application; my pores were tightened as was my skin in general.
Fine lines were minimized though my deeper crevasses were still visible; from what I understand about retinols, after about a month of use I'll see a big difference there too.
In the morning my skin has a glow after absorbing this overnight. I've been using this over a serum and alternating using this under my eyes with an eye cream. After about 3 weeks use, I'm seeing a vast improvement in my skin's texture and evenness and the fine lines are really lessening across the board. My skin feels soft and plump and looks good even without makeup. The circles under my eyes are diminishing and tightening. To get the best out of this stuff, make sure sure your skin is super clean and exfoliated to really absorb the benefits, though this will help with exfoliating and getting rid of dead cells. You can also use this on areas that you feel need a youth treatment, like gnarly old lady hands! (guilty as charged!) I also recommend applying this to your neck and chest for an even look from your face down. These oft neglected areas are actually the worst for showing our age, so treat them well! This is a HUGE bottle, so don't be shy about applying this liberally.

Why Forlan Skincare Advanced Retinol Cream?
Forlan Skincare's Advanced Vitamin A Retinol cream is so effective in reducing the signs of aging because it's special anti-wrinkle formula helps the skin retain collagen in a way that gives your skin structure, firmness and elasticity. Our Retinol has the ability to help unplug pores, even out skin discoloration (such as age spots), restore vibrancy to the complexion, reduce oiliness, treat skin concerns such as acne and improve the texture of your skin, making it softer and more supple.
Advantages of Using Our Retinol Cream:
• Non-greasy, goes on smoothly, and leaves no residue. • Unclogs pores, reduces fine lines, evens out discoloration and boosts collagen. • Effective Vitamin A treatment for aging skin in comparison to retinyl palmitate which is significantly less effective. • Vitamin C helps protect and repair skin cells by wiping away the free radicals that damage DNA and leading to wrinkle reduction. • Vitamin B5 treats dry, scaly or rough skin offering a more youthful, plump and fresh appearance. • Vitamin E natural skin conditioner and anti-oxidant which gives an excellent moisturizing effect. • Organic ingredients: Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Rose Water and Jojoba Oil helps alleviate Acne, Psoriasis and other skin concerns. • Quality airless, light proof pump dispenser protects the light sensitive Retinol and makes targeted application a breeze.
