Couture Snob: Fall 2010 Runway Report

Keep up with The Snobs at Fashion Week on Couture Snob!

telasugarscrub.jpg tela_bod_cleanse.jpgI am all about Tela Organic skincare lately.  I've been using the "Tela Sugar scrub" almost daily and it's so moisturizing that I can skip body lotion afterwards!  The scrub is made of pure organic sugar cane and almond oils with a blend of honey, acai and pomegranate (it did cross my mind to taste it but I refrained!) and oh my god NOTHING leaves my skin as soft and smooth!  I'm addicted to it!  Get it here at Barneys New York- for a mere $25 it's like getting a professional $100 full body scrub- every day!!
 
I just got "Tela Organic Body Cleanse" $25 this week-- it's a cleansing gel with ginkgo, apricot and blackberry-- love that it rinses off with no sticky or heavy perfume-y residue.  Get it Tela Organic Body Cleanse at Nordstrom

If you live in Dallas, come meet Philip Pelusi (the mastermind behind Tela Organics and one of the best hair stylists on the planet!) in person at Nordstrom North Park Mall tomorrow, Saturday 3/20!  Philip and his amazing team will be doing complimentary hair styling!  50% of the day's purchases will benefit my dear friend Heidi's organization, the Fashionistas.

maybelline_instant_rewind.jpg
I love browsing the cosmetic section at drugstores, my latest discovery is the best yet--
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Foundation with SPF 18.  I was intrigued by its claim of "Instantly erase fine lines, creases and age spots" and figured it's worth the $11 to try it.  The Eraser also claims to be the first anti-aging makeup with micro-corrector applicator micro-fills that smooth imperfections on the skin's surface and it does just that.  The minute I applied it lines and freckles on my face seem to disappear!  The texture is also very soft and lightweight so it doesn't even look like I have much make up on.  Definitely try this if you're on the other side of 30.  But I do have a problem with the sponge applicator-- you can't clean it and I'm just waiting for it to mold and stink.  I'm going to try a brush head spray cleaner but don't know if that will work.  It also takes a few minutes the first time to click the foundation through the top.  But it's worth the trouble!  SPF 18 Sunscreen: $11.16  Buy Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Foundation here.

Make Up Forever HD Microfinish Blush

user-pic
I love a good cream blush for that healthy natural glow but they often do not last more than an hour or two. The latest from Make Up Forever, however, not only lasts-- it actually needs to be washed off (and it will stain the fingers so wash immediately after application!).  And don't worry about being too shiny-- this is made with mattifying and reflecting powders so you won't look greasy, just pretty and flushed. The texture is also less oily than most brands and the bottle with pump is also a lot less messy. I got "Truth or Dare", it looks scary bright pink in the bottle but on the cheeks it made me look like a teenager. Okay, so that's stretching it but definitely years younger!  MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microfinish Blush $25 here

Intraceuticals Clarity Pen

user-pic
clarity_pen.jpg
clarity_pen_1.jpgI get oxygen treatment facials from Intraceuticals whenever I can-- at least once a month and weekly if I have time (hey, don't judge-- Madonna gets them DAILY!).  The oxygen infused Serum contains lightweight Hyaluronic Acid and a powerful combination of vitamins and antioxidants that penetrates the deepest layers of the skin, making my skin tone bright and texture refined.  They recommend a series of 6 weekly facials and then monthly maintenance but since I am so flaky, I've never done the entire series so I'm on the perpetual program which is fine by me cuz I love the way my skin looks afterwards! 

Last week, I tried the newest treatment from Intraceuticals-- CLARITY, which addresses adult acne.  It's not a huge problem for me but every so often I do get a blemish that drives me nuts!  I mean how annoying to go through puberty without the body of a 16 year old!  Seriously though, I end up picking at the blemish or squeezing it too early which leads to-- you guessed it, scarring!  For those with a severe acne problem, there is a Clarity infused oxygen treatment but I only need the Clarity pen for my occasional break outs.  It's a genius product-- a disposable unique applicator pen containing a concentrated formula to target acne blemishes and speed up the healing process while reducing redness.  The applicator tip is designed to be replaced daily to avoid contamination and bacteria.  It comes with 15 tips and you can purchase replacements as necessary. Use as required or twice daily onto blemishes and watch them disappear without a trace!  I know this sounds crazy but I can't wait for my next adult pimple so I can zap it with this pen!

I get my Intraceuticals treatments and products at Ritz Carlton Spa in Dallas (214) 922-4820

If you don't live in Dallas-- go on their website to find a location near you.  Intraceutical oxygen infusion treatment is a MUST in your beauty regimen!

Cowshed Beauty: Sandalwood Intensive Hand & Foot Treatment

user-pic
cowshed_footcream.jpg
One of my favorite things to do in NYC is to spa with my girlfriends.  We love to treat ourselves at the Cowshed spa at SoHo House (private manicure rooms where you're reclined on a large and cushy chair!). It's serious urban heaven and you need to go if you live in NYC or are in the city to visit!  They also have an amazing line of products I've recently become addicted to (my son loves the baby line, too!).  Especially the Sandalwood Intensive Hand & Foot Treatment-- it saves me over fashion week (you don't want to know what stomping around the city in dangerously high heels for hours each day do to my feet) as it transforms my dry hands and hard heels and makes them soft and supple (instantly!). It also smells yummy with sandalwood essential oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E (to deeply hydrate the skin.) At Cowshed spas (they have many locations worldwide but I've only been to the NYC one) and SoHo House website here.

Janet Waddell's New Product Line

user-pic

Janet Waddell is one of the world's leading hairstylists (she was the creative director at Vidal Sasson before branching out on her own), so it's only fitting that she come-out with her very own line of products. The three-product line that she has developed includes a shampoo, conditioner, and a styling balm all of which have been formulated with Emu oil (this is a first for a retail hair line). I had never heard of Emu oil before using this line, but apparently it has been used by Australian Aboriginal for over 2,000 years for its moisturizing benefits and it's been proven to stimulate hair growth/thickness. What I love about this line however is that it's not a soapy, detergent-like mess! The line is all-natural, paraben-free, moisturizing (didn't need to use a leave-in), and the shampoo only contains 10% water (as opposed to 80-90% in most! Clearly most hair products are way over-priced...). The shampoo and conditioner ($24 each), have a ginger/lime fragrance that's subtle enough to work for both men and women. As for the Styling Balm ($28), I've been using it on the crown of my head for its anti-frizz properties (it's lightweight so it's a good option for summertime styling). If you're in the NYC-area and don't want to order online, you can head to Janet Waddell's salon and check them out in person!
