The Most Advanced Make Over Tool - iSurgeon

Well it was only a matter of time before such a, in my opinion, controversial item was available for us to toy around with the idea of plastic surgery.. Of course I am not against cosmetic procedures at all, but not too sure if we need so much encouragement! However the latest game to download on iTunes 'iSurgeon' does have it's advantages of course for those already seriously considering having any procedures carried out, it is a very easy way for them to see results & decide whether it is indeed for them or not. But I'd hate to think it could encourage others who wouldn't have normally considered this, giving them the idea that a perfect version of themselves is something they should strive for! Also plastic surgery is something to give serious consideration too, not just an idea to play with on a whim! Anyway all the details are below as well as a demo from You Tube so make of it what you will, I'm sure it will undoubtedly be a huge hit on iTunes this year despite the reserved judgement of some...



iSurgeon – the most advanced beauty makeover App available in the iTunes App store –combines personal image modification with high tech gaming features for your iPhone/iPod Touch. Introduced by Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer and author of famed children’s book “My Beautiful Mommy”, iSurgeon provides an instant view of what any user would look like with plastic surgery. Those considering cosmetic surgery can now leave the photos of celebrities torn out of magazines at home when visiting a plastic surgeon and come in with their own personalized, digitally enhanced image.

iSurgeon features two modes: Game Mode and Advanced Surgery Mode. Both include procedures Dr. Salzhauer offers in his own Miami practice including: nose jobs, breast augmentations, cheek implants, tummy tucks, liposuctions, face lifts, lip enhancements, and ear reshaping.

Game Mode
The Game Mode gives you the opportunity to play a plastic surgeon, “operating” on any of the four pre-programmed images to enhance their cosmetic appearance. Before each “surgery” procedure, users can tap the “hint” button on their screen to view an image of their “patients” desired results. The goal of the game is to emulate the desired look as closely as possible. Using the iPhone/iPod Touch’s touch screen capabilities, the user will be able to modify the subject’s physical appearance, scoring points for each successful enhancement. Game Mode is complete with realistic sound effects.

Advanced Surgery Mode
Long gone are the days of staring in the mirror wondering what you’d look like with a smaller nose or fuller lips! During the Advanced Surgery Mode, you can modify images taken with your iPhone/iPod Touch or images already stored in your phone of yourself or friends. Within seconds, you can see what you would look like after various cosmetic surgeries without leaving your front door. Available at your fingertips, the Advanced Surgery Mode provides results in seconds. Additionally, Facebook and email are conveniently built into the App allowing you to quickly share results.

Cold Weather Beauty From Bobbi Brown

With the sub zero temperatures taking their toll on our skin Bobbi Brown has some great simple answers to keeping that gorgeous perfect fresh glow to our complexions! Here are just few recommendations for the winter months -

Vitamin Enriched Face base - £33.50
With dry, chapped & flaky skin this hydrating oil-free cream can turn your skin into a smooth canvas for a seamless makeup application. This is recommended as the first step in preparing the skin for a smooth makeup application. Rich but non-greasy, the formula includes Shea Butter which instantly hydrates & softens the skin, while carrot extract and Vitamin A Complex help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles & Vitamins C and E help protect against the cold weather.

Pot Rouge For Lips & Cheeks - £16.50
These are creamy colours that blend easily on the apples of your cheeks for a soft, just in-from-the-cold flush, also perfect for a sheer colour on the lips too. Blend softly on the cheeks or lips for a sheer finish
Bobbi Brown's Tip for Application : For easy, finger-free application, use a clean Foundation Brush to apply Pot Rouge. Start on the apple of the cheek, then blend out and down toward the hairline.
For best results on cheeks, use fingers or Makeup Wedge to apply. Start on the apples of cheeks, blending up towards hairline, then downwards to blend and soften colour. For drier skins, be sure to moisturise skin first. Can also be applied to lips with fingers or the Lip Brush.

Moisturising Cream Compact Foundation - £26.00
A foundation that acts like a moisturiser & conditions dehydrated skin that has been damaged by the cold weather. With foundations always go for one shade lighter than you would in the summer time.
This is an emollient based compact formula which provides all day long wear as well as moisturisation, instantly softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to deliver a perfect glowing complexion. Includes ingredients that prevent moisture loss as well as Jojoba Oil and Avocado Oil to moisturise and condition. Ideal for Normal to Dry Skins.

All Available at www.bobbibrown.co.uk & with every order over £60 treat yourself to a free sample of Bobbi's New Extra Eye Repair Cream.

Keep your skin soft and supple with these fabulous products from Arbonne:

An all over body lotion which brings a luxurious spa experience to all your senses. The botanically based formula is enriched with sea kelp, plankton extract, shea butter, olive oil extract and vitamins E and B5. It combines highly responsive, marine botanicals with European spa sciences that help to prepare skin to perform its proper functions.

Developed to help firm and tone the appearance of tired looking skin, this product uses hydro- trap technology to form an effective moisture shield for the skin and provide 24 hour moisture replenishment.

FC5 Hydrating Eye Crème - £25

A unisex product, suitable for all skin types, this is a key part of the UK’s first fresh cell range. This eye crème is designed for ultra hydration and radiance. It works with UVA and UVB protection to help to prevent signs of aging, preserve younger looking skin and protect from the sun and elements. The product and packaging are created using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) materials.

It also benefits from Moisture Fresh™ Complex - a unique blend of botanicals including St. John’s Wort and extracts of cucumber, birch leaf, watercress and clover blossom which combine to soothe and condition dry or sensitive skin such as that around the eyes.
This blend is carefully selected to help preserve and protect through hydration.

It uses Arbonne exclusive, first of its kind, fresh cell technology with cell nutrients from five nourishing fruits and vegetables, hence the FC5 tag. Along with the rest of the FC5 range, it was developed by expert Dr Peter Matravers, who has drawn on over 25 years of product development experience with Aveda and many other major brands. His accomplishments include proprietary ingredient development, creative formulations, new methodologies and, he has received over 20 US and international patents in these areas.

This product specifically benefits from kiwi cell extracts, an extraordinary source of antioxidants. Fresh cell technology protects cell nutrients as they are extracted and results in an unparalleled freshness. FC5 is innovative because the plant cells it uses can deliver more effective and more potent ingredients to the skin because of their preserved freshness.

FC5 Moisturizing Night Crème - £41

This unisex crème is developed for normal/dry skin and uses Arbonne exclusive, first of its kind, fresh cell technology which protects cell nutrients as they are extracted. The uniquely captured fresh cell nutrients remain encapsulated until they are applied to the skin at which point they are released, in this case through the night.

Its formula is scientifically advanced and utilises fresh mango extracts, a fruit known for its nurturing and hydrating properties, which get to work while you are sleeping. This botanical blend is carefully selected to help preserve and protect through hydration. A more intense treatment, this crème will be absorbed throughout your sleep.

It also benefits from Moisture Fresh™ Complex - a unique blend of botanicals including St. John’s Wort and extracts of cucumber, birch leaf, watercress and clover blossom which combine to soften and condition skin.

All products are available through an excellent nationwide network of Arbonne Independent Consultants.
