Awesome Product Alert: Getting Great Skin with Ole Henriksen Skincare Line

Ole Henriksen is sold at Sephora and department stores


Beautiful skin is either a blessing you're born with or a gift from great products. The quest for flawless skin is sought after by millions, if not billions, of men and women. Companies spend a fortune in research and marketing to produce and sell the most innovative and effective skin products to this massive market.

popPRETTY brings to this week's product spotlight a much loved skincare line called Ole Henriksen.  


Ole Henriksen Face/Body Spa in Los Angeles, California

The product carries the name of its creator. Ole Henriksen - pronounced "ooh-lah" - has created a name for himself in the  glitz and glamour of Hollywood where he is known as the "Acne Expert". Denizens of Hollywood can easily spot his popular spa on Sunset Boulevard where he provides service to an exclusive clientele. 


Lucky for us, his products are now available beyond the freeways and palm trees of Los Angeles. Sephora and quality spas worldwide stock this amazing skincare line.


Ole Henriksen Apricot Cleansing Lotion $30 for 12 oz.


Ole Henriksen was treated for a bad case of cystic acne (the large and painful kind) in Indonesia where he lived after moving out from humble beginnings in Denmark. His acne was cured by an aesthetician who used natural botanical ingredients. This inspired Mr. Henriksen to pursue a career in skincare. He moved to London to study cosmetic chemistry and opened shop in the United States years later, in the groovy 70s. 


To this day he uses his own kitchen to experiment with natural ingredients to produce quality skincare products.


The company states its products utilize "Nature, Science, Beauty and Wellness" to achieve results to be proud of. The hundreds of positive reviews the Ole Henriksen product line receives from various online beauty shops speak volume about the quality.


Ole Henriksen products range from facial cleansers, makeup removers, dark spot treatment creams, scrubs and more. The skin on your face and the rest of your body are sure to sing a happy tune with this line. You can purchase them from Sephora, various department stores, spas, or online.

Top 5 Mascara Products for Drop-Dead-Gorgeous Lashes!

Mascara adds an extra oomph to your lashes that nobody can ignore

Mascara is a beauty product that has a special and permanent spot in every girl’s personal arsenal of make-up. Call it the Holy Grail of makeup, if you will. Mascara does more than just lengthen or thicken your eyelashes, they help enlarge and illuminate the eyes. Finding the perfect mascara among the thousands in the market can be a pretty daunting task. But with popPRETTY’s list of the best mascara products for your money, we’re sure you’ll find the best one to match your eyelash needs!



1. Chanel Inimitable Mascara


Inimitable Mascara by Chanel provides more than just length and volume, it also adds curl and lash separation with one very easy sweep of the lashes. This mascara adds almost three times the thickness of your natural lashes and is also clump-free. And really, how can one expect any less from the fashion house of Mademoiselle Coco Chanel?


2. Dior Diorshow Mascara



An international hit among stylists and celebrities, Diorshow Mascara by Dior  takes inspiration from dazzling fashion runway shows and adds a ton of glamour to your lashes. Although a bit pricey, it does deliver the volume and the length needed to make your eyes stand out. This mascara is great for everyday wear but add a few more coats on for a bolder look on fun nights out!


3. Maybelline XXL Volume + Length



The Maybelline XXL Volume + Length mascara does not disappoint. Considered one of the cheaper buys on this list, it comes with two wands: one to thicken your lashes and the other to provide the ultimate in lengthening. Our beauty team at popPRETTY has also noticed the significant quality improvement found in Maybelline’s mascaras to give budget-conscious girls a bigger bang for their cash.


4. Majolica Majorca Mascara    






A brainchild of the famous cosmetic brand Shiseido, Majolica Majorca is making waves in the make-up scene. Their mascara products have especially created quite a buzz. There are different types of these babies, made specifically for different lash need:, whether it’s lengthening, thickening or both!


5. Covergirl Lash Blast Length




Covergirl’s Lash Blast Length mascara is considered to be a great steal. One of the best gems found in drugstore labels, this product can give you that ultra clean, ultra-defined lash look without giving up on length. So for girls who are frustrated with their short lashes, this one’s for you!





Whether it’s for lengthening or adding volume to your eyelashes to kingdom come, these products will help you get that look that you’ve always wanted. Try them out and see what works best for you. As always, have fun discovering and experimenting with makeup!

Eye Beauty Problems and the Top Products to Deal!

Eye creams to keep those sags away






Beauty problems that plague the eyes are very common, no matter what age we are. Fine lines around the eye area are the first signs of aging and even very young teenage girls battle pesky dark circles under the eyes. Hence, investing on a good eye products and having healthy habits is a must. But first, it’s important to identify your current eye situation – do you have puffy eyes? Dark circles? Wrinkles?
We give you the rundown of the eye creams beauty junkies swears by and why they work.


Problem #1 Wrinkly eye
Wrinkles anywhere in the body have the same antidote – retinol. Look for an eye cream that contains retinol and apply it at night since UV exposure can breakdown your eye cream’s potent ingredient. If you find retinol too strong for your sensitive skin, opt for products that contain peptides. Like retinol, it stimulates collagen production.


Avon Anew Clinical Eye


Try Avon Anew Clinical Eye, a best-selling eye cream that works both above and below the eye to lift the skin and smooth out wrinkles.


Problem #2 Panda Eyes
Get rid of those annoying dark circles with Olay Touch of Concealer
. An eye regenerating cream that contains tinted formula that immediately masks dark under eye circles. It contains niacinamide, which helps fade discoloration over time while its skin-tone hue instantly tones down darkness.

Problem #3 Puffy Eyes
You can try putting cold spoon or frozen tea bags around your eye or you can opt for a much simpler solution – use an eye cream with skin tightening caffeine and packaged in a cooling applicator that helps deflate puffy eyes faster. Estée Lauder Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator
uses NASA-inspired technology to keep its ceramic tip permanently chilled.

Sun protection


Calmia Daily Eye Protector from Calmia.com
Skin around the eye is so thin; it’s easily susceptible to sun damage. Hence, use an eye cream that has an added SPF. Calmia Daily Eye Protector uses natural sunscreens to protect your eye from future damage. It also contains white tea and algae to perk up your eyes in an instant.


Damage Control
If wrinkles are already present, Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Eye Cream 
is heaven-sent if you have the money to splurge. Every cent is worth it as it guarantees to firm up sagging skin sans surgery. It contains Elemi PFA, which restores tensin, a protein naturally found in the skin that anchors cells and controls how they connect.  



Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Eye Cream


Budget Friendly eye cream
If you want to get rid of fine lines without burning a whole in your pocket, try the Garnier Ultralift Firming Eye Cream. It contains pure ginger extract, a perfect bargain without sacrificing quality.



Garnier Ultralift Firming Eye Cream
And remember, you can spend all your money on the fanciest eye creams around but if you don't take care of your health, the creams won't be able to do much. We're talking common sense. Get 8 to 9 hours of sleep every night, stay away from junk food, and exercise. Exercise improves blood flow to our eyes as well as our entire body. Stay pretty, stay healthy!
