![MAC Viva Glam: Giving A Kiss Of Life]()
by Ms Toi | Jun 23, 2010 | Eyes on the World: Who’s making it Beautiful
MAC is known for launching one gorgeous collection after another. However, the one MAC collection that stands the 
test of time and will never be out of style is the Viva Glam collection. In an effort to create a grassroots community outreach for those living with HIV and AIDS; the MAC AIDS Fund was born. In 1994 the first Viva Glam lipstick was introduced as the vehicle for the MAC AIDS Fund.
MAC kicked off their charity campaign by selling the Viva Glam lipstick with drag queen, Rupaul, as its spokesmodel. Past spokesmodels also include k.d. Lang, Mary J. Blige, and Pamela Anderson just to name a few. Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga are currently holding the torch as spokesmodels. The efforts have been wildly successful by raising over $150 million to date.
Every penny from the sale price of MAC Viva Glam lipsticks and lipglasses are donated to the MAC AIDS Fund. The fund supports national and international programs in addressing the links between poverty and HIV/AIDS. The mission of the MAC AIDS Fund is “to serve people of all ages, all races. and all sexes affected by HIV and AIDS”.
For more information visit them at www.macaidsfund.org . Give a kiss of life and purchase a tube of MAC Viva Glam lipstick or lipglass.

![Father’s Day at the Spa]()

Refinement facial masks and purifying deep tissue massages typically do not render thoughts of dear old dad. However, if you’re still undecided on what to get dad this Father’s Day, you might as well do something completely out of the box. Gift him with a “beauty” treatment.
Spas are not just a girlie thing anymore. According to the International Spa Association, men account for nearly a third of all spagoers, they love the franchise at http://complexcityfranchise.com/. As a result, an increasing number of spas and salons are offering treatments specifically catered to men, that’s why spa and tanning saloons are improving their services with a better management and a use of tools and software like SalonTouch Studio that allow them to provide even a better service. Women are not alone in their desire to maintain their physical appearance, age gracefully, and manage stress.
So, perhaps a mani/pedi appointment could offer dad some much needed pampering on his special day. To find a male inclined spa near you check out www.SpaFinder.com .
The Lilikoi Looks team would like to wish all of the hardworking dads out there a Happy Father’s Day.

![Smell Good, Feel Good: The Benefits of Aromatherapy]()
by Ms Toi | Jun 13, 2010 | Healthy Beauty Hacks & Tips
The next time you have a pounding headache or having a sleepless night don’t go to the medicine cabinet for help. A few deep breaths of an essential oil could make all the difference. Aromatherapy is an effective natural alternative to alleviate discomfort and give you some relief from various health symptoms.
It may seem far-fetched that your sense of smell can have specific effects on your physical body. Scents are inhaled and travel across the olfactory nerves stimulating the limbic system which releases endorphins, neurotransmitters, and other chemicals into the body.
At one time or another we’ve all experienced smelling something that triggered a gut reaction; an actual physical sensation. Scientific studies have found that the reaction of specific essential oils and our body’s chemical compounds can have various effects. These include pain relieving, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-fungal, diuretic, sedating, and more.
For aromatherapy to be most effective you want to be sure that you are using pure high quality essential oils. Many candles and fragrant oils are laced with toxic preservatives and other potentially harmful ingredients. I recommend visiting your local health food store to find a variety of high quality of essential oils to choose from. The National Association For Holistic Aromatherapy is a great resource for information on aromatherapy. I also personally recommend doTERRA Essential Oils. These oils are therapeutic food-grade and some of the purest on the market.
