Drumroll please…

It’s Luxtural (ta-dah!), and we’re going to be giving a set away to one of our iMag viewers.

This amazing set includes a hydrating mist, a moisturizer, and a serum, that all cater to the brand's beauty philosophy, that real anti-aging starts with proper hydration of the skin. But trust me, this line is perfect for all skin types, young and old. A good friend of mine recently returned from a vacation where she had to take ten planes in nine days.  Can you imagine how dry her skin was?  But, after using Luxtural, her skin was baby soft.

So what’s the secret?  All of the products contain Pure Pacific Rainwater, that has been collected before it ever touches the ground.  And apparently, the rainwater is what makes the Luxtural products easily absorbed and light on your skin.  While I’m not a west-coast-water-expert, I can say that when I tried a sample of Luxtural, it left my skin with a soft, dewy finish.  The serum, which is actually used before the moisturizer, is also a great primer and gives your skin a smooth finish for perfectly even make up application.

Its celebrity clientele includes some of our favorite beauties like Angelina Jolie, Debra Messing, and Jennie Garth.  But even if you don’t need to be red-carpet ready, Luxtural can still be the star of your beauty lineup!  We are giving away a set to the first Beauty-Full blog fan to send me an email about why THEY need a beauty boost.  Email me at fncimag2@foxnews.com (please put "Luxtural" in the subject line).

The best part of it all is that we want to help you!  So lay it on me sisters!  Do you have a glamor glitch?  Is something puzzling that pretty face of yours?  In a concealer conundrum? Don't furrow your beautiful brow, post your questions below! I am here to help you be the most beauty-full you can be!

I'm Rob-sessed.  But it's not just him, it's the entire "Twilight" machine; the books, the movies, the MAKEUP!

Yup, you heard it right here!  My two greatest loves are about to combine. "Twilight" is entering the makeup realm.  DuWop cosmetics, the brand used on the "New Moon" set, is launching its own "Twilight" line (yay!). 

So attention all you "Twilight" fans, the first item to come out of the coffin is here - a limited-edition Lip Venom V.  According to Du Wop, it's not the "typical Lip Venom".  Instead it's a shimmering crimson lip stain suspended in a venom-laced liquid lip conditioner.  I have yet to try it myself, but I imagine it's got a pretty potent bite! 

But if you want this you're gonna have to wait!  The preview is already on BACKORDER.  That really "bites" doesn't it?

Fear not my little vamp-loving ladies, because I've got a homemade lip plumping recipe for you, that is guaranteed to get you more Pattinson approved pucker-time!

MAKE YOUR OWN LIP PLUMPER:

All you'll need are the following household items:

• Petroleum jelly
• Cinnamon Leaf essential oil
• Peppermint, Spearmint, or Menthol essential oil
• Cayenne powder
• Small jar, pill box, or any other tight storage for your lip balm.

Step 1

Fill a small container, or old lipgloss tin, with a decent amount of petroleum jelly. Depending on the size of your container and the amount of lip balm you wish to make, you can add as much or as little as you like.

Step 2

Place one or two drops of Cinnamon leaf oil in the middle of the petroleum jelly. Follow that with two drops of your peppermint, spearmint, and menthol oils. I strongly suggest that you test it on your lips before proceeding.

For those who want a fuller lip (think post-major-make-out-sesh with Rob) add a a few more drops of the cinnamon oil. If it is already too strong for you, add a drop of your mint oil and/or another tablespoon of petroleum jelly to even it out. Follow by adding a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for added kick.

This concoction should definitely do the trick.  Like any great homemade product, use it cautiously and sparingly.  All lip plumpers have a tendency to dry out your lips, so alternate using this with a regular moisturizing gloss. 

For those brave enough to try this lip plumper, tell me what you think! Are any of you as excited about the "Twilight" brand of makeup as I am?  Or is it just another ploy to get us Twihards to spend our hard earned cash? Let me know below!

Ready? 

Wait for it ...

Wait for it ...

I know.  AWESOME!

Will Ferrell has gone back to his college roots to "hit the bottle" once again.  No, his "Frank the Tank" beer guzzling alter ego is not streaking through a quad near you.  Instead, he's gone from the big screen to SUN screen, donating his mug to charity. Three new Ferrell "flavors of SPF", each with a different design, will raise money for the scholarship fund, "Cancer for College", which pays for everything from text books to four-year scholarships for kids who have battled cancer.  Since its inception, Cancer For College has granted over $500K in scholarships to more than 450 cancer survivors.  In less than two months, they've sold over over 10,000 bottles ... so you might want to hop on the Will wagon, because this stuff is going fast!   My favorite is the golf-game enhancing "Sun Stroke" although I imagine the "Forbidden Fruit" will get laughs on beaches coast to coast. 

In fact, we'll give a bottle of this to the first iMag viewer to email me their funny summer sun story, send your story now!

But there's more to a label then laughs. Do you sometimes wonder what all those "tanning" terms really mean?  Check out our article "The 411 on SPF" to find out what SPF stands for, how much you need, and the difference between UVA and UVB rays. And get the Pro's and Con's of tanning beds, lotions, and the sun, in the Summer Skin Series section of fncimag.com.  

This summer, I'd need to dip into a More-01k to be able to afford going anywhere east of Broadway.  So, I've downsized my summer vacation to a beach chair, a good book, and spray bottle on my fire escape.  Double sigh. 

But there is a silver lining on this stormy summer cloud. Thanks to a pair of NYC dwellers-slash-entreprenuers, I can bring the dunes with me wherever go! Their sun care line, Hampton Sun, was created for the ultra-chic Hampton crowd, to develop a golden glow without a beach burn.  They've come up with a variety of products to help you achieve and prolong the perfect summertime tan, without the high-end price tag.

So at least I have one less wrinkle to worry about while I'm catching some rays above cement city. And for those of us who like an "escape" from time to time, a new fragrance is sure to elicit your sense memory, and get you right back to the beach. Privet Bloom blends sea spray, dune grass, and (of course) the privet blossom into the perfect summer perfume. For those of you who don't know, privet hedges are pretty much synonymous with the Hamptons. And let's face it, it's cheaper than a ride on the Jitney, and it sure beats the smelly hot-tar roof  I'm becoming so accustomed to. 

Are you stuck at home this July 4^th too? I can't extend a vacation invite (my fire escape only fits one thank-you), BUT ... in the spirit of America, I'm going to turn your nothing into something!  The first iMag fan to send me a picture of themselves in or on their Hampton's summer substitute will win a Hamptons Suncare Travel Set featuring three of their top products! The next four will win a copy of the fire escape book I'm currently reading, Vintage.  And if you ARE lucky enough to travel beyond your window sill, be sure to check out my favorite airline-approved travel kits here!

I was really excited years ago when my friend and I decided to do our first fake tan.  We went for a nice lunch first and had a couple of glasses of wine, which later proved to be an error in judgment.  After lunch, we went to the spray place, listened carefully to the directions - arms in the air, turn, eyes closed - and then took it all off and jumped in our respective booths.  One problem ... when I emerged all a-glow, I realized I hadn't taken a giant square pendant necklace off before I hopped in so I had a giant square white mark on my chest. To make matters worse, we had no idea you couldn't shower or get wet afterwards and went for our scheduled pedicures immediately following. Um - yeah - my legs were white from the knee down, a clean line separating the tan from the pasty part.

Tan and learn.

Well Stephanie, you won't have to worry about going to a tanning salon because we're setting you up with two hot products from GlowFusion:  The Micronutrient Face and Body Tanning Spray, and Tan Enhancing Emulsion. 

And for the rest of you iMag fans, stay tuned this summer because we have a lot of great giveaways in store! And as always, you can get great summer beauty tips on our web site!

We've all been there ladies (and well kept gentlemen). But, in an un-polished pinch, you can get salon-style nails in less than a minute (well ... def not more than five). All you need is a 4-in-1 nail buffer and some cuticle cream. Just stash' em in your desk for those emergencies. And the best part is, they cost less than a quickie trip to the salon. 

When you get the invite for some after-work fun (which seems to happen EVERY night in the summertime), simply file your nails into your desired shape. This works especially well if you keep your nails short. Then follow the steps on the buffing block, using all four sides. For a "just polished" finish, be sure to use the rubber side last. Your nails will look as though you've applied a clear top coat. 

After you've shaped and buffed, rub in some cuticle cream  I love this cuticle pen from Sephora because it's easy to use, easy to stash in your desk or purse, and there's absolutely NO MESS.

Now, if you have the time, there's nothing like a salon manicure. And for those budget conscious beauties out there, we have an entire "Do-It-Yourself" series so you can do your own mani's, pedi's, and even spa facials at home!

Of course, if you don't want to worry about your polish chipping, or wait around for them to dry, this trick will get you out the door pretty and (seemingly) polished.

According to a top NYC derm, the only "safe sun" comes in a bottle or can. But even thatisn't fool-proof. Check out these famous faux-ver achievers - proof that even the rich and famous have MAJOR acci-tans.

And would you believe that our nutritionista is a self proclaimed tanorexic! Luckily, she's put herself on a sun diet.

Colleen has achieved a  "perfect-ten tan" trading in her beach towels for these tan towels. She loves them because they are ultra-portable and easy to apply. They don't streak, and unlike other tanning products she's used, they don't cause breakouts. Go with the light ones though, and build GRADUALLY.

I've also discovered a fool-proof system that's guaranteed to give you a great faux glow, and best of all, we're giving it to one iMag fan for free! Since we know that laughter is the best medicine, we want to hear about YOUR faux-glow follies. Did your "Touch of Tahiti" tan turn into "Oompa Loopah Letdown"? Were you ever mistaken for an alien who needs to phone home for some SPF? The first person to send us their worst "tan in a can" story with an accompanying picture will win a GlowFusion Protein Tan and Tanning Emulsion set and have their story posted here on this blog! Send your story and photo to imag@foxnews.com (MUST HAVE "FAUX TAN SWEEPSTAKES" in the subject line) and let us help you get your glow on!

And a final word of advice: if you go for the faux, use the buddy system.  Put someone you trust on "orange alert", even if they have to pry that bottle from your stained little fingers.

I mean, I'm not tanorexic, I just love a nice sun-kissed glow. Clearly, there are times when I go after it a little more "aggressively" than others.  But I'm not the only one with a slightly skewed tan-ometer. What you are about to witness are some (painfully funny) tanning DON'Ts. 

I'm certainly not one to judge, but Megan could have avoided this with a healthy dose of SPF.  According to Dr. Neal Schultz of dermtv.com, you should wear sunscreen everyday, even when it's cold and raining!  To see more of his tips on applying sunscreen, click here.

Are you laughing yet because my own mother thinks I look like a leather bag sandwiched between my two friends. Now, if you want to avoid looking like last season's accessory, try out this sun-sational 3-in-1 super skin saver. Oclipse Sunscreen + Primer, was created by a dermatologist and has an SPF 30.  And, because it's a tinted moisturizer and makeup primer, you can wear it everyday and feel protected from Mr. UV Ray.  If the SPF in your moisturizer seems like it stands for "Sunscreen Probably Fails", give this one a try!
