June is health month here at BeautyNewsNYC, so this issue’s Beautyscopes will provide you with a variety of products (catered to your cosmic sign!) that help “insure” you stay feeling fit and looking fabulous. Here’s to a long life full of love, laughter and good looks!

Travel takes center stage for Aries this month. For work and play, you’ll be seeing new places and faces that will bring much excitement into your life —at long last! Since being constantly on the go can tire out your skin, keep your complexion in check with Guerlain’s Duo Matte & Shine (www.guerlainskincare.com). This sleek mirrored compact features two textures that can be combined or applied individually for a natural-looking, skin-kissed glow to use on eyes, cheekbones and lips. Bon voyage! |

Extraordinary adventures are on tap for Taurus this June. Surprising excursions will be added to your everyday life, which will keep you in constant motion and amazement. However, the downside to all of this action is the big toll it will take on your tootsies. An easy way to revitalize them is to purchase Lippman Collection Spa Booties (www.neimanmarcus.com). They are a fabulous spa treatment for your feet that can be performed in the privacy of your own home. All you have to do is warm up the booties in your microwave and then slip them on for a soft, moisturizing experience. |

This month brings a mix of highs and lows for Gemini, which will actually be a very positive experience for the sign of the twins. These conflicted emotions will eventually bring the clarity you crave. In the meantime, you can shed some light on your strands with a little help from Ojon Conditioning Shine Serum (www.nordstrom.com). This hair hero de-frizzes, reconstructs and nourishes damaged, color-treated or processed locks in an instant. It also provides a long-lasting and extraordinary shine. |

Don’t let people take advantage of you this June, Cancer. Keep your eyes open for suspicious activity among co-workers and friends. Their motives for assisting you may not be strictly altruistic. Someone who does have your best interest at heart is Kimberly Sayer. Her Cellular Extract Eye Lift Gel (www.mybeautifulplace.com) reenergizes your eyes with ingredients that include plant oils, extracts and the patented “Plant Pseudocollagen” which helps retain moisture in your cellular structure to give you a renewed, youthful and toned eye area appearance. |

Libra is about to embark a month where mixing business and pleasure will for once be a brilliant idea. You'll see solutions to many of your problems appear right before your eyes when your professional and personal contacts co-mingle. And to physically make your eyes enjoy this process even more, partner up with Paula Dorf’s Eye Lite (www.macys.com). It helps prevent dullness while diffusing light and highlights, and it brightens even the most exhausted eye areas. You can also mix it with or apply it over your normal concealer. |

Group social events will be good for you this June, Scorpio. You’ll find great success in romance and career this way. To keep up with the busy schedule you’ll be on, turn your skin’s focus toward Fresh’s V-Tonic Care (www.neimanmarcus.com). Designed for active lifestyles, the V-Tonic Care line works to provide the body with nourishment and revitalization by incorporating a blend of vitamins, antioxidants and rich cranberry seed oil to help defend skin against premature aging.

Sagittarius can make sound investments this month with their money as long as they do the research on how to choose wisely. In stocks and bonds it’s not so easy, so it’s best to seek the advice of a trusted financial planner. In beauty, investments can be rest assured when you put your trust in marvelous companies like Molton Brown (www.neimanmarcus.com). With Eye Rescue, they provide safety and security in a lackluster look by getting rid of tired and puffy eyes with the assistance of a firming liposome complex. It helps prevent lines and shadows on weary and overworked eyes. |

This June, communication is the key to unlock many circumstances that have had you confused lately. Candidly saying what’s on your mind will help you clear up any misunderstandings. If you resolve to relinquish your lackluster lips as well, Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm (www.your-beauty.com) can come to your rescue. It’s an ultra-concentrated natural formula that provides instant healing power to sooth, repair, nourish and heal seriously chapped lips. |

Seek the advice of a mentor or long-time friend this month, Aquarius. They can help guide you down a path of greater satisfaction and success in your professional life.

This June, family struggles may stress you out a bit, Pisces. But don’t loose your grip on the situation —things will calm down soon enough.

It calms and soothes red, irritated skin and can be used everyday in conjunction with a moisturizer or night cream for highly sensitive skin or those suffering from rosacea. |
