A Review of SwissTec’s Vitamin C PMG Serum
I’ll be honest, I have never undergone cosmetic eyelid surgery because I try to take care of my eyes as well as I can to prevent serious wrinkles. I know someday I’ll probably need it, but for now, I’m content with the topical creams and serums I have a serious addiction to and how they minimize those wrinkles. I recently completed my first bottle of SwissTEC’s Vitamin C-PMG Eye Serum, and I’d like to tell you about the results. I’ve been using the stuff religiously everyday for the past 3 months, dabbing a...

Christie Brinkley’s rep has denied it, but we’re still wondering if she actually did have some kind of cosmetic face rejuvenation procedure at the same clinic, and on the same day (or the day before), as her daughter’s rhinoplasty. Alexa Ray Joel, the daughter of Christie Brinkley and ex-husband Billy Joel, was admitted to New York City’s Lenox Hill Hospital for a cosmetic nose job to treat a deviated septum as well as modify the contour to make it more aesthetically appealing. The procedure took place early last month....
read moreKnow the Risks!
You’re thinking of getting eyelid surgery done to reduce that puffiness under your eyes, but don’t go ahead with it until you know the risks of surgery. Here are the most common risks associated with cosmetic blepharoplasty: 1. Blurry vision. Swelling that follows surgery can affect the ability to see, making everything look blurry. As the swelling goes down, blurriness will fade. A more serious matter is blurriness caused by damage to the eye muscles. In this case, it may be permanent although it is rare. 2. Scarring. Because an...
read moreThank you, Mom
California plastic surgeons have found that women show sign of aging just like their mothers, sharing the same pattern of wrinkles, lines, and sagging on the face. 10 pairs of mothers and daughters ranging from 15-90 years old who looked similar in appearance were scanned. They found that the visible signs of aging in the older generation, particularly loss of skin elasticity and deterioration of collagen around the eyes, followed an almost identical pattern in the younger generation. The study found that this was most true in the areas of the...

read moreThe Beginning of Double Eyelid Surgery
Did you know that Double Eyelid Surgery, a surgical procedure designed to create a fold in the upper eyelid, was first performed for cosmetic purposes in Japan in 1896? The Japanese surgeon, Mikamo, is considered the pioneer of Double Eyelid Surgery. Mikamo was a key figure in popularizing cosmetic surgery in Japan during his professional lifetime. And now, over a century later, this procedure remains as one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures in the world for people of East Asian descent (along with...
read moreFixing Undereye Bags
We all know that the skin underneath the eyes is thin and weak. That’s why there is such a massive market of products available targeting this area, treating common problems as those dark purplish/bluish circles that appear when we’re tired, bloated, or stressed (caused by visible and weakened blood vessels), and wrinkling. The fact that the skin is so fragile in this area also explains why one of the earliest cosmetic problems caused by aging is the development of under eye bags. Eyelid surgery has long been the most effective way...
read moreInner Rim Eyeliner
There’s nothing that achieves more definition than lining the inner rims of the eyes. Black or brown set against the whiteness of the sclera (the white part of the eye), it creates a dramatic effect that is incredibly sexy. Unfortunately, this part of your makeup routine can cause several problems to the eye. It is unhygienic, can cause infection, sties, and even put you at risk of damaging your cornea if you don’t have the steadiest of hands. If you want to achieve the same dramatic effect, play it safe. Keep the eyeliner to the...
