What is beautiful about the holidays is that it gives everyone in love a lot of moments in the spotlight with their beau — moments ranging from office parties to family gatherings to alone time by the tree. This can be a problem, though, if you haven’t prepared your skin for all of that attention. Luckily, Jergens is here to help you achieve flawless skin with just one perfect product.
Nothing sparks this girl’s confidence like flawless, beautiful skin can. When my skin is at its best from face to feet, I feel like a stunner, and I am ready to take on the world. When I want that coveted, effortlessly perfect look, I have always been a worshiper of the BB cream, but, until now, I have only been able to find it for my face. Now, for the very first time in the United States, I can enjoy skin that’s deeply hydrated, illuminated, visibly firm, even, and virtually flawless by using this all-in-one moisturizer for my face and body! It’s Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream, and it is fabulous.
I love it because it is so easy to get and use. I pick it up at my local grocery store, but you can get it at any mass retailer or drugstore nationwide for only $12.99. It is a total steal for what you’re getting out of it: five visible skin perfecting benefits in just five days. You can literally start using it on Monday and begin showing yourself off by Friday night. Also, it smells delicious. It’s made with shea butter and coconut water and it makes my man go wild. What more could a girl ask for? Nothing!
I kept going on and on about my new radiant skin, so one of my co-workers April decided to go out and try it for herself. She called me about a week later and was raving, “You were so right! My skin has never looked or felt this good.” Now, she’s telling all of her friends about it. We are both obsessed and trying to bring everyone we know aboard the Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream train. Won’t you join us?

Her motto “bliss happens” is an inspiration to people everywhere as she helps them find ways to be healthy, feel beautiful, and live their lives to the fullest.

Think that you can get fabulous gel nails only at the salon? Think again! CupidsPulse.com and NaiLuv have teamed up to bring you the ultimate gel nail giveaway. With their easy-to-use Gel Nail Polish 9-Piece Complete Kit and their Zodiac Collection of 12 colors, you’ll have fabulous and long-lasting gel nails all year-round.
Gel polish has been a beauty buzzword for quite some time now — and for good reason. It’s a safer alternative to acrylics because, even when the gel polish is removed, your nails are left stronger and harder than with acrylics, which can leave nails feeling thin and brittle. Gel polishes are created to stay on longer and don’t wear off or dent as easily as regular manicures. You’re also left with a shiny and smoother looking manicure.
But gel nails can be on the pricey end, especially if you regularly go to the salon. With NaiLuv’s kit, you’ll save money without having to sacrifice beautiful nails. If you’re the type that loves to have a new nail color with every outfit, these products give you the polished look of painted nails without the commitment to a color.
The Gel Nails Starter Kit includes all of the essentials to achieve a perfect manicure at home, including: a four-watt Battery Powered LED lamp, NaiLuv gel polish “Homebody Not” (15 mL), dual purpose base/top coat (15 mL), bonder (15 mL), cleanser (60 mL), remover (60 mL), cuticle stick, and nail file. The directions couldn’t be simpler! Prep your nails with the cuticle stick and buffer. Then, apply a thin layer of the bonder, followed by the “Homebody Not” polish. Place your nails under the LED light. Add the topcoat and place your nails under the LED light again. You’ll have a salon-worthy manicure that won’t smudge or dull in just about 10 minutes.
If you’re into astrology, you can share your sign with your nails! Along with the at-home gel kit, NaiLuv is also giving away their Zodiac Collection polish set. The 12 shades are heavily pigmented and guaranteed to satisfy even the most stubborn of Tauruses. NaiLuv’s polishes last for up to two weeks, and with such smooth application, you won’t have to worry about bubbling, inconsistent drying, or runniness.
After a long winter of gloves and hands stuffed into coat pockets, it’s time for you to show off your nails and welcome summer with bright, beautiful gel manicures. With NaiLuv, achieving a professional look is as easy as 1-2-3!

Give everyone around you a taste of your free spirit with Juicy Couture’s Malibu Collection fragrances. With your fresh and fruity smell, there’ll be no doubt that you’re a fun-loving girl ready to go out and seize the day. That’s exactly who single guys are looking for this summer: someone who’s flirty and ready for anything!
Be the confident star you always knew you could be with these two scents that will take you back to the California coast — even if you’re in a tiny East Coast bar trying to catch that cutie’s attention. Let his mind wander past the smell of beer and over the sound of the baseball game and into the image of you two sitting on a sunny Los Angeles beach with strawberry daiquiris in your hands.
Put on a spritz of Juicy Couture Malibu before you leave for your first date. He might be expecting to see you all dolled up, but what he isn’t expecting is a blast of watermelon, pink passion fruit, and jasmine flowers to announce your presence. When you walk over to greet him, he probably won’t know how to react, so just be ready to pick his jaw up off the floor.
When he asks to see you again (which we know he will), keep him guessing with a completely new scent. Spray a little Couture La La Malibu to entice him with the smell of red currant, orange blossom, and pink sugar crystals. Don’t be surprised when he sticks to your side all night — he just can’t get enough of you!
Now, for the best part: CupidsPulse.com is giving away both of these fragrances, Juicy Couture Malibu and Couture La La Malibu, to one lucky reader! These perfumes are sure to bring out that confident and sexy California girl in anyone, and no man can resist that. Let yourself stand out and shine this summer!

Even after eating a balanced diet, exercising, getting enough sleeping, and drinking plenty of water, the amount of toxins we’re exposed to each day is astounding. Sun exposure, secondhand smoke, and even stress can build up these harmful chemicals that are absorbed by the body. Free radicals try to compensate, but because they damage the cells, we end up with wrinkles. Luckily, CupidsPulse.com is teaming up with derma e to share with you five of their bestselling products aimed at bringing back the glow and firmness of healthy, nourished skin.
Dr. Linda Miles, the co-founder and chief formulator of derma e, considers herself first and foremost a healer and believes that our skin is the “outward expression of our inner health.” Using her 30 years of experience with oriental medicine and holistic practices, Dr. Miles formulated products that do more than cover up your problem areas: They optimize your skin’s health and give you visible, glowing results.
Antioxidants serve as the body’s natural protectors against free radicals and stop them before they damage the cells, which is why derma e products are antioxidant-rich. When applied topically, they are the quickest way to protect skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed out; inflammation and hyper-pigmentation are soothed; and texture and elasticity are greatly improved.
Our giveaway bundle includes the Evenly Radiant Brightening Day Creme with SPF 15, Evenly Radiant Brightening Night Creme, Evenly Radiant Brightening Serum, Evenly Radiant Dark Circle Eye Creme, and Microdermabrasion Scrub. These products are paraben-free, phthalate-free, GMO-free, gluten-free, sodium lauryl sulfate-free, petrolatum-free, mineral oil-free, and dye-free. All derma e products are 100 percent vegan and cruelty-free.
Additionally, they’re made with recyclable material, and derma e offsets 100 percent of their electrical usage with wind energy certificates. With derma e, you can commit to healthier skin while also fostering a healthier environment and world. What more could a girl want?
GIVEAWAY ALERT: To enter for a chance to win the derma e bundle, go to our Facebook page and click “like.” Then, send an email to cupid@cupidspulse.com with the subject “derma e” along with your full name and address. The deadline to enter is Monday, April 21st at 5 pm ET. Good luck!
Grand Central Beauty guarantees “classic treatments with “modern results.” With their hypoallergenic, clinically-tested skin care products that are free of parabens, sulfates, and petrochemicals, Ginger King and Jackie Lee have delivered on their promise. CupidsPulse.com wants to make sure you get the most out of the one skin you have, which is why we teamed up with the company to give one lucky winner a three-product giveaway bundle that will bring the spa to your home.
Grand Central Beauty is a New York-based company whose name was inspired by “the classic beauty and modern efficiency of Grand Centrals worldwide.” King previously held management positions with Freeze 24/7, Avon, Joico and JÄ€SÖN and currently holds several patents in cosmetic formulations. She developed hundreds of products from hair care to skin care to color cosmetics. With a repertoire as impressive as her’s, it’s safe to assume that King brought that same level of quality and innovation to Grand Central Beauty.
Our exclusive giveaway includes three products from Grand Central Beauty’s S.M.A.R.T. SKIN PERFECTING SKINCARE line: the S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting Polisher, S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting Serum, and S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting Mask Deluxe Sampler. By the way, S.M.A.R.T. stands for: Smoothes, Moisturizes, Anti-Aging, Redness-reducing, Tones. Yes, yes, and yes!
The polisher is a multi-efficient exfoliating toning peel that takes just 30 seconds to treat and is made with natural fruits, natural botanicals, and polishing beads. It’s the first polisher on the market that exfoliates, peels, and tones – all in one easy step. It also hydrates the skin and gently unclogs pores and dead cells, bringing tired skin back to life.
The serum fills in lines, diminishing the look of wrinkles and pores and creating a flawless canvas for makeup. Skin is immediately smoothed and softened, and makeup lasts longer and looks more finished.
The mask uses seaweed extract to tone and smooth skin, while detoxifying marine algae targets wrinkles. Blackheads are drawn out; pores become smaller; and skin is more elastic thanks to mineral-packed marine powders. Because the mask is water-activated, you’re also left with 24 hours of intense moisture.
With this skincare arsenal, you’re guaranteed to look great and feel confident on any date night!

Molly Sims is known for her long blonde hair, but as of Tuesday evening, she traded in her golden locks for a red hue — and CupidsPulse.com Executive Editor Lori Bizzoco got the scoop straight from the star! “You know what, I feel really good,” the actress says of her new look in our celebrity video interview. “I went from bombshell blonde to rocking red. I wanted a change — something different and fun and energetic and vibrant and bold.”

We all want to look our best, and that begins with managing our hair. With clients including Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Chrissy Tiegan, and Jennifer Lopez, Raphael Reboh definitely knows what he’s doing when it comes to achieving glossy locks. Whether it’s a celebrity in his chair or not, the stylist finds himself always stressing the same advice: Take care of your hair!
“Women often don’t take care of their hair as much as their skin, but they should,” he explains in our celebrity interview. “I find it weird that women will run out and buy hundreds of dollars worth of face cream that may not even work, but they won’t spend the same amount of money and energy on their hair. Hair is connected to the scalp, so it’s just as important.”

Radiant, flawless skin is an automatic turn-on for attracting that special guy. Unfortunately, no one has the time or money to visit an esthetician at a fancy spa for facials each week.
