With this plant extract and peptide infused shine, your lips will not only feel quenched and moisturized but will also appear more voluminous. The formula contains a sheer-to-medium coverage which is gorgeous worn alone, or as a top coat to deepen another red lipstick. The shininess will wake up your skin and with just a few swipes it will look like you took the extra time to get ready. Learn more at arbonne.com.

Arbonne Sheer Glow Highlighter Stick Duo: Formulated with moisturizing botanicals, this duo will highlight all of your best features. Its stick packaging makes for an easy application and is also the perfect “throw in your purse” touch up must-have. Blending the lighter of the two ‘Pearl’ on the light reflecting areas of your face will give you a radiant, healthy looking glow. The second stick ‘Bronze’ can be used alone, the same way you would apply ‘Pearl’, or in tandem with ‘Pearl’ as a contour shade. To apply as a contour, simply blend in the hollow of your cheeks, down the sides of the bridge of your nose, on your temples and at the top of your forehead. Learn more at arbonne.com.

Diabetic Skin Care Kit

Diabetes mellitus is a disease that affects multiple organs including the skin and feet. It interferes with wound healing, may decrease skin sensation, and can alter the mechanical forces involved in walking. Of the many organs affected by diabetes, patients can have the most important influence on the skin by detecting problems before they become severe and getting the needed help early.

Those affected by diabetes should inspect their feet daily, perhaps most easily after showering or bathing. You should pay particular attention to calluses and cracks in the skin, which should be brought to the attention of your health care professional. By taking care of your skin and feet you can improve your own quality of life.
