Discount Beauty Center to donate portion of Think Pink sales to breast cancer research

 

Berlin, NJ (August 14, 2009) - Each October brings a parade of pink products with a purpose – to promote National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) and its important message of education and action. Each year, DiscountBeautyCenter.com offers a selection of pink-emblazoned beauty products that help to promote and support NBCAM’s cause.

 

Aside from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, affecting nearly 1 in 8 women at some point in their lifetime. Diagnosing and treating breast cancer while it is still in the localized stage leads to a 5-year survival rate of 98%. Education on the signs of breast cancer and the importance of routine exams and mammograms helps to save many thousands of lives each year. Death rates from breast cancer have been on the decline since 1990. Along with improved treatment, the decreases can be attributed to be the result of earlier detection through screening and increased awareness.

Babyliss Think Pink Set 

This year, DiscountBeautyCenter.com will be carrying the BabylissPro Diamond Titanium Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Set. The set includes the BabylissPro Pink Diamond Titanium Hair Dryer and Pink Diamond Titanium 1″ Hair Straightener. Adorned with Swarovski crystals, the Pink Diamond Titanium dryer and straightener add a little extra flair to BabylissPro’s industry-leading styling tools. If purchased separately, the Think Pink duo would retail for over $450. At DiscountBeautyCenter.com, the Think Pink set is available for just $129.99. For the entire month of October, DiscountBeautyCenter.com will be donating 10% of all proceeds from the purchase of the Think Pink set to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.


Nail Tek FileDiscountBeautyCenter.com is also offering Nail Tek’s Breast Cancer Awareness Crystal File. Nail Tek is known for its tough, durable glass files that never wear down.  The Crystal File seals the free edge of the nail to prevent snagging, breaking and peeling. Embossed with a delicate design on the handle, includes convenient carrying case. The Breast Cancer Awareness Crystal File sells for $19.99 with 25% of all proceeds going to breast cancer research.

 

The efforts of NBACM and the increased support and promotion of the cause on the part of the beauty industry and businesses in general have made significant contributions to sharing information on the disease, and encouraging early detection. DiscountBeautyCenter.com is proud to support NBACM by offering products that support and promote increased awareness of breast cancer and its prevention and treatment. By purchasing pink and purposeful products from DiscountBeautyCenter.com, the important message of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month becomes a daily reminder.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas Part 5: ZIRH skin care products

Yes, ZIRH

If Dad’s not already familiar with ZIRH, he’s in for a real treat this Father’s Day.  ZIRH is one of the most popular men’s only skincare lines around.  And, to further validate our love affair with ZIRH, it was was recently awarded “Best Men’s Product” award in the 2009 CEW Awards.

Brian Robinson, the president of ZIRH gets it – men are nowadays just as conscious of their appearance as women, but they don’t want all the hassle or embarrassment that comes with picking out the right products. ZIRH recognizes the fact that Men and women’s skins are not alike, and thus women’s products do not have the same effect on men’s skin.  

zirh

The no-fuss, no-hassle line of products is perfect for for men who care about their looks, want healthy skin,  but don’t want a complicated skin-care regimen.  Everything down to the names of the products are simple – they are called exactly what they do!  They even have on their website a handy “personal skin expert” which ask questions like “Do you suffer from acne or breakouts” and “Do you have puffiness or dark circles under your eyes?”  From the answers, the website calculates which products each individual’s skin will benefit from.

The ZIRH “Core Regimen” 

Step 1: Cleanse

Choose from CLEAN for normal skin, or WASH for dry/sensitive skin.  For once a week, exfoliation, there’s SCRUB., the aloe facial exfoliator for men.  (won FHM Grooming Award and Cosmopolitan Award - “Best exfoliant for him”) 

Step 2: Shave

PREPARE first primes skin for shaving by softening facial hair and reducing friction which helps prevent nicks and razor burn.  Next, choose from SHAVE CREAM (awarded the 2009 Men’s Health Grooming Award, best for coarser facial hair),or SHAVE GEL (non foaming gel, perfect for more precise shaving), both infused with Aloe Vera.   

SOOTHE is perfect for post-shave.  This product is made with special seaweed ingredients that calm redness and other skin irritations that may arise during shaving.  And to top it all off is ERASE, a special, soothing after-shave designed for extra sensitive skin.  It helps reduce razor bumps, burn, and ingrown hairs.

Step 3: Nourish

CORRECT - A men’s facial serum that adds essential nutrients while moisturizing. 

Step 4: Moisturize

Choose PROTECT for normal/oily skin, or DEFEND for more dry or sensitive skin, made with SPF 15. (DEFEND was named FHM’s #1 product in their annual grooming awards.)  Click here to read a review on DEFEND.  

Also great is REJUVENATE, anti-aging facial moisturizer whcih helps to reduce fine-lines and wrinkles.

Step 5: Solve

ZIRH also makes a number of specialty products for men like RESTORE, the herbal eye cream designed to eliminate dark under cricles and eye puffiness and FIX, a spot treatment formula (made with witch hazel).  Also available is REFRESH, an astringent for especially oily skin, but won’t dry it out, and the vitamin enriched CLAY MASK designed to absorb excess oils.

The Starter Kit makes a great gift

Dad’s new to ZIRH?  Let him try a little of everything with the ZIRH Starter Kit - which comes with the four best-selling products: CLEAN, CORRECT, PROTECT, and SHAVE GEL. It’s $100 value for only $49.99!

New! American Crew Shaving Products

americancrew

 

We’ve gotten such great feedback about our Father’s Day post on shaving essentials. Now we’re excited to introduce three new shaving products to the list from American Crew, a leader in the men’s grooming products industry.  

For normal to coarse hair…

Moisturizing Shave CreamThis herbal formula contains powerful antioxidants, and natural oils like avocado, eucalyptus, and sweet almond oil to help smooth skin, and prevent dryness and irritation.  

For normal to fine hair…

Precision Shave Gel:  The non-foaming, clear shave gel goes on super-smooth, and allows for visibility when shaving close to the skin.  It contains natural soothing ingredients like pumpkin seed extract, grape seed oil, and aloe vera.

For sensitive skin…

Lubricating Shave Oil:  This non-greasy formula contains light, natural oil blends that soften the facial hair and allow for a closer shave and provide a slicker surface for the razor to glide on.  It can also be used as underneath the Moisturizing Shave Cream or the Precision Shave Gel for extra protection and moisturizer.

Graduation Gift Ideas: Fragrances

Graduation is one of the ultimate symbols for new beginnings – what a better gift than a new fragrance to go along with this new chapter in your loved one’s life.  

We’ve put together this list of women’s fragrances that we think truly encompass the personality of graduates and would make great gifts for recent grads (whether its high school, college, grad school, wherever!)

Marc Jacobs Daisy 

60704Marc Jacobs has been on a roll with his fragrance collection. He just won the 2009 FiFi Hall of Fame Icon Award, and last year at the FiFi’s, his top selling fragrance, Daisy won Women’s Luxe Fragrance of the Year Award.  In 2008, Daisy also won the CEW Award for Best Women’s Scent.

Back in August 2007, Jacobs told Teen Vogue: “What I really wanted to do was take the joy of youth and put it in a bottle…I love the notion of daisies. But they don’t have a scent. So I had to craft something that reflected the spirit of the flower, with all its heady, whimsical, and sweet connotations.” 

Graduation can be a nostalgic time.  Daisy is perfect as your recent graduate looks back on some fond youthful memories.  

Described as a “floral bouquet” with hints of strawberry, red grapefruit, violet leaves and musk, Marc Jacobs’ Daisy is available as an Eau de Toilette in 1.7oz and 3.4 oz, as a Body Lotion, Body Butter, and Shower Gel.  Combine two, three or all to complete the perfect grad gift!

Vera Wang Princess and Rock Princess

66313Vera Wang’s Princess chas been a best seller and editorial favorite ever since it launched in 2006. The scent won for favorite women’s fragrance in 2007 in Allure Magazine‘s Reader’s Choice Awards. And, Vera Wang herself, was given the same honor that Marc Jacobs just received at the 2008 at the FiFi Awards (Hall of Fame Icon Award).  Princess is self-proclaimed, “Playful. Unpredictable. Fearless,” three qualities that should envelop the personality of any recent grad.

With the success of Princess, Vera Wang began launching limited edition spin-off fragrances from the original. Last year, the first spinoff was Flower Princess, this year it’s Rock Princess.

67551Rock Princess is a great graduation gift because the vibe of the entire fragrance from the ad campaign to the rebellious smokey gray bottle design, to the smell itself embody an attitude and personality.

Lori Singer, the Group VP of Global Marketing for Coty Prestige Designer Fragrances told WWD, “The scent brings a hip, rebellious side of the princess to counter…we think every girl can find her own princess.” The brand encourages buyers to do just that. On the perfume’s official website,  you can literally become your own princess. You make up a name, pick out what your castle looks like, and join discussions with other “princesses.”

Vera Wang Princess comes as a Eau de Toilette spray in three sizes (1oz, 1.7oz, and 3.4oz) It’s also available as a Body Lotion, and Body Butter. Discount Beauty Center also has a Four Piece Vera Wang Princess Gift Set, that includes the spray in two sizes, 2.5 oz of the Princess Body Lotion, plus the Princess Foamy Body Polish. Rock Princess is available in 3.4 oz.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy

65941-1“For Juicy girls who want it all,” this fragrance was an automatic best seller. In fact, sales were down for the Elizabeth Arden fragrance line before Viva La Juicy was launched. According to Barron’s it received the number one market share of new fragrance launches during the 2008 Holiday season, which was surprising considering the economic downtown.  Viva La Juicy also just tied with Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers Fragrances for Favorite new Fragrance in the Allure Magainze‘s 2009 Readers Choice Awards

Don’t expect a fancy website with the bells and whistles like for Vera Wang’s Rock Princess. Viva La Juicy sells itself. It’s a blend of various fruity scents including wild berries, madarins, honeysuckle, and jasmine.

Viva La Juicy comes in two sizes (1.7oz and 3.4oz)
