Caudalie Beauty Elixir

If there’s one thing I enjoy mid-day is a burst of refreshment. Or a mid-afternoon mojito. I can drink all day long but that’s tough when there are things to do. So I look for minty refreshment somewhere else and for the past 4 months, I’ve been using this elixir from Caudalie…

Le Petit Marseillais au Beurre de Karite et au Miel Conditioner

As all of us with curly hair know, if there’s one thing you don’t do is skip the conditioner. Well, I was very naughty to my hair and was doing just that for about a week and a half due to various reasons. I’m studying abroad and trying to be careful with the cash flow, so first thing I did when I ran out of the conditioner that I brought with me was buy a cheap one. What a mistake; after using it, my hair didn’t feel conditioned at all. Then when that ran out, I didn’t buy anything for two weeks…

Toned, Ripped & Ready To Go

I have the skinny gene in which I actually lose weight if I don’t work out. I lose mass really quickly and I actually shrink. So working out for me is not about losing weight but actually putting on some. I’ve yoyo-ed back and forth physically and mentally on this working out issue – from 5 times a week gym sessions (3 times with a personal trainer) to doing absolutely nothing to doing just cardio (for the endorphins)…

What’s On Your Sunscreen Label?

The FDA announced this week that it will impose harsher restrictions on what companies can claim on their sunscreen/sunblock. Terms like “sunblock,” “waterproof” and “sweatproof” will be banned under tougher standards…

The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body Butter

Body butters work better than body lotions for me. They packed a bigger moisturizing wallop and they help keep skin nourished for longer too. I’ve used by fair share of body butters and I always find myself coming back and gravitating towards the ones by The Body Shop…

Jack Black Cool Moisture Body Lotion

I know it’s one thing to get men to stick to a grooming regimen for their face and it’s another to tell them to lotion up after every shower. But guys, there are obviously benefits to taking care of your skin. Looking good naked is a requisite that we take very seriously here at Style Flavors and no guy or chick likes scaly, rubbery dry skin. Looking like leather only works if you’re a sofa or jacket…

Ola Hawai’i After Sun Healing Remedy

Now that Summer is quickly approaching, I am sure a lot of you are planning time out laying in the sun. And like with everything fun in life, don’t forget to use protection. Getting raped by the rays of the sun is never fun and just like in the same way you don’t lay on your stove, getting burnt by the sun is a bitch. But that said, sometime shit happens…

Perricone MD Alpha Lipoic Acid

There is a two-pronged approach to having great skin. An external approach that sees you using the right products and sunblock everyday and an internal approach that involves your diet and your lifestyle. Having great skin is one of my highest priorities in life. After all, I will have my own skin care line a few years down the road so I need to practice what I preach…

Bliss Lemon + Sage Body Butter

My brother got married a few weeks ago and I gave a speech during the dinner. It was a fantastic speech – everyone said so. I believe the word used was ‘brilliant’. After the wedding, when we all got together to look photographs from the night, my family said I would be great as a pastor. Of a church. I agreed and said that if I ever had a church, one of my first sermons would be on the benefits of moisturizing – ‘God says moisturize!’.
