This Works: Natural Skincare
There’s an amazingly well curated cosmetic boutique in Bal Harbour call Gee Beauty (very much like Space NK). I stopped in when I was in Miami a few months ago and they instantly won high credibility points for stocking a slew of my favorite brands including Clarisonic, Rodial, Rodin, Dr. Brandt, Serge Lutens – truly [...]
Freeze 24/7 IceCream Double Scoop
I’ve been mulling over a few major decisions lately. Potentially I will be putting all of my life savings into buying an apartment and I might fulfill a live-long dream of buying a short-haired mini dachshund. In the meantime however I’ve taken up doing hot power yoga to add more “om” to my life and [...]
Molton Brown Gets into the Anti-Aging Game
Molton Brown is up there for me with Tom Ford and Oribe as being unable to do any wrong. Their products are always not only reliably effective, but they smell divine and are packaged impeccably. I mean…do you see the image above!? How chic is that cap? I love the combo of the reflective silver [...]
Korres Yoghurt Cooling Gel: Cool, Calm, and Collected
A week hanging in Cancun under the 86-degree sun may sound like a blessing, but my skin is getting the torture treatment. As somewhat of a sunblock crusader, I am too vigilant about sunscreen to ever get burnt, but that doesn’t mean I don’t need extra hydration and refreshment when I’m back in the shade. [...]
Moroccanoil Launches Skincare
Moroccanoil launched in the U.S. about three years ago and ever since argan hair oils have been all the rage. I discovered the brand’s oil a few seasons ago when they worked on the hair looks for J. Mendel. They were able to achieve a controlled frizzy look unlike any I had seen before and [...]
Sponge Avocado Oil: New Outlook, New Regimen
I slather oil on every part of my body, even my hair. It is a natural element that your body just loves. And my skin, at my precarious age of not young and not exactly old, just soaks it up. (As in, teenagers need not apply.) Avocado oil is especially good, so I was very [...]
An Apple a Day…Keeps Spray Tans Away?
Okay, so it’s nothing new that fruits and vegetables are good for you. You know, I know, we get it. The list of healthy eating benefits goes on forever. But what about healthy looking benefits? The beauty girls over at Allure Magazine did some research that was recently published on their site that shows an interesting finding [...]
Bliss Hot Salt Scrub: Hey, Hot Stuff
I just stepped out of the shower after using Hot Salt Scrub by Bliss, and I swear I feel five pounds lighter! This rough-grain salt scrub seriously sloughs like a power sandblaster (but, of course, is much more pleasant). I made sure I scrubbed for a while to ensure getting 100% of the effects, and [...]
Tria Beauty Skin Perfecting Blue Light
Talk about a product I wish had existed years ago when I was going through the uber stressful process of applying to college! I went to an event to learn about the Tria Beauty Skin Perfecting Blue Light ($245) two weeks ago and was blown away by what the dermatologists there had to say (the [...]
Infinity Sun Pineapple Exfoliating Skin Renewal: Here Comes the Sun
I’m diligent about exfoliation during the summer months. There’s nothing worse than baring your legs or back and revealing scaly skin! But last summer, the abrasive scrubs I used actually gave me hives, plus made my skin too susceptible to sun exposure. I tried the Infinity Sun Pineapple Exfoliating Skin Renewal and found it to [...]
