Prescriptives has introduced a new product called Good in Bed skin restoring night moisturizer. The new cream was launched last month and is available for sale at beauty counters nationwide.

LYRA MAG reports that Prescriptives Good in Bed offers the following benefits to its users — reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles over time, it is non-acnegenic, it conditions and soothes skin with Shea Butter & Vitamin E and its grapefruit extract re-texturizes and brightens skin.

If you’re pressed for time, and like us, fall into bed having forgotten to apply night cream [tsk tsk] on more than 1 occasion, you can make up the damage done with GOOD IN BED. While the racy title caught our attention, you get more for your money than just a giggle. This night cream is emollient AND has self-tanner in it so that you’ll wake up with that “morning after” glow, and intensely moisturized skin. It’s 2 perks for the price of 1.

According to DCStyleMag.com, “Good in Bed promises a small (overnight) miracle by revamping the skin with moisture, while tanners work to darken your skin ever so slightly.”

Ingredients such as shea butter, glycerin and vitamin E work to soften the skin, while grapefruit extract diminishes the look of wrinkles. Wake up to a younger, tanner you by morning.

The retail price for Prescriptives Good in Bed is $65.00 U.S. / $90.00 Canada.

La Mer Eye Balm is an eye care product which effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and dark circles around the eyes. La Mer Eye Balm is a triple concentration of Creme de la Mer’s original Miracle Broth with marine extracts and advanced botanicals.

Bellasugar reports that La Mer Eye Balm contains Brazilian Malachite, which not only makes eyes brighter, but it also has a light green tint to help dilute eye redness.

Also, it feels slightly cooling and it has a lighter, almost cleaner version of that well known La Mer smell, which I find interesting since it actually contains triple the concentration of their famous miracle broth. I realize that it’s going to take longer than a week to see any dramatic results, but so far, I like what I see. If only we could do something to adjust the cost.

Savvy Mode has already used La Mer Eye Balm and is delighted with it.

I have used this new eye cream for about a week now. Besides being more moist comparing to the Eye Balm, I can’t really tell the difference with its other benefits. I will continue though and hopefully one day when I look at myself in the mirror, I will jump for joy because little lines and wrinkles that sneaked up on me in the last couple of years just miraculously disappears!

The retail price for La Mer Eye Balm is $130.

Ojon has launched a new collection of cleansers, shampoos and conditioners called Rare Harvest Tawaka. The collection offers all you could need to cope with dry, damaged and aging skin and hair.

The MakeupGirl reports that Rare Harvest Tawaka shampoo and conditioner are sulfate free and can be used both for face and body.

The shampoo is dubbed a “cleanser” which can also be used on your face and body! I found that the trick is to shampoo twice and the second time leave it in for 2-3 minutes before rinsing. It is more like a treatment than a plain old shampoo…good for all hair and skin types - particularly dry, damaged, aging skin and hair. No oily residue either PLUS, the sulfate free formula won’t strip hair so if you have color treated hair you are safe. Just like the shampoo, the conditioner is also sulfate free and can be used on the face and body as well. It is rich in anti oxidants which I wouldn’t think would be a big deal for your hair but apparently it is!

According to Make Her Up, for this collection Ojon uses unique Central American ingredients such as Alula Leaf and Achiote Seed Extracts.

A breakthrough in skin- and haircare, Ojon employs unique Central American ingredients such as Alula Leaf Extract - used by the Tawaka™ for its anti-inflammatory properties - and Achiote Seed Extract to soothe and calm damaged skin and hair. In addition, Wildcrafted Ojon® oil and Cocoa Seed Butter provide long-lasting hydration and anti-oxidant protection.

The prices for the Rare Harvest Tawaka Collection range from $6.50 to $59.99.
