WEEKLY MUST-HAVE!
2008-05-07 19:39:00 My dermo told me about a moisturizer that she proclaimed works better then Cetaphil for oily skin.... GASP! What??? Better then Cetaphil? And I thought that Cetaphil held the trophy for best moisturizer in the biz (for oily/ acne skin types)!Well, it looks like we're passing the torch. Tried and tested, Olay Complete All Day Moisture Lotion with SPF 15 is our new favorite! And it is a must-have for ANYONE suffering from oily, sensitive, problem skin! Unlike Cetaphil, Olay Complete totally absorbs into the skin... this is VERY important for oily complexions!Here's why I like it:It's light and non-greasy (in other words, it won't just sit on the surface, it soaks in)Non-Comedogenic (won't clog pores)Oil-Absorbing Powder (so that surface oils are banished immediately and skin is left matte and unshiny... like blotting papers!) **this is my fave aspect of the moisturizer**Antioxidant Vitamin E plus C100% Oil Free100% PABA FreeI highly recommend this moisturizer for anyone sufferi...

WEEKLY MUST-HAVE!
2008-04-30 19:29:00 Another vital product that got a lot of face time in Coachella was my MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner Stick with SPF 15. Sure, this isn't exactly a "new" product, but I adore rediscovering old favorites!!! And protecting your lips is tres importante... can you imagine gnarley, oozing, sun burned lips??? So unkissable!The MAC Tinted Lippy is mega moisturizer with a splash of sheer color. It leaves lips soft and nourished with a slight hue. The perfect lippy for sun-time because it also has UVA/ UVB protection of SPF 15. Not only are your lips protected from burns and chapping, your precious pout also looks moisturized, colorful, and sexy!I keep it in my bag and apply an upwards of 8 times a day. I LOVE how easily and smoothly it glides on to my lips. And with 5 sheer colors to choose from, everyone will find their special one!

2008-04-29 19:24:00 I'm going to be honest.... I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to hair products. I know, ironic, considering I am a beauty fanatic. But every now and then, I find a hair product that I absolutely love. And I can't wait to share it with you!My dear friend Allison Melnick (queen Bee of the party scene - NYC to LA) lives for a good party... and thick, gorgeous hair. Literally. It's always done, always curled, always volumized. We were in Coachella this past weekend and I wondered how she was going to survive without her professional blow-out team. The weather in Palm Springs is super hot and dry - it's hard to breathe and even harder to keep your hair looking sexy and done up!But Allison came armed with her two best friends.... a ceramic 1 1/2 inch curling iron and Sebastian's Body Double Thick-Finish Volumizing Hair Spray. She claimed that this hairspray was a God-sent. The best of the best. "It's lightweight yet really adds volume." She sprayed practically half the ... More About: The Body

2008-04-23 19:50:00 A perfectly tanned face, sans the sun, is always a feet worth working toward. What if I told you that you can get a healthy bronzed glow AND hydration all in one dollop of cream?Allow me to introduce Tarte's Sunburst Beaded Bronzing Facial Moisturizer - an oil-free moisturizer with a splash of bronzed color.Let me clarify. It's not a tinted moisturizer, as it doesn't have a foundation base, thus it doesn't aid in evening skin-tone or coverage. So, you can still keep your Laura Mericer's tinted moisturizers in your makeup bags! This is a bronzing moisturizer... it adds a healthy does of color, leaving you looking like you just stepped out of Mexico. Or Hawaii. Or the Caribbean. You get the point.Here's how it works. The bronzing beads in the moisturizer BURST on contact with skin, delivering exactly the right dose of sun-burnished glow.

High Définicils, 2008
2008-04-18 22:37:00 Lancome's coveted Définicils mascara just got a make-over... And I'm LOVING it!All throughout high school I was a major fan of the Définicils mascara (first launched in 1991), as it did justice to my lashes. But then I got bored, as I usually do with products. I wanted something new, something different. And I traveled the makeup counters at Sephora and Barneys searching for my new fave mascara. Over the years I've found many - I LOVE Prescriptives Fake Lashes and Fresh's Supernova. I also had a mild obsession with Cover Girl's Lash Exact Waterproof Mascara. And now I'm back to Lancome.Since 1991, Lancome has introduced 3 Définicils mascaras into the family:Définicils - The Original: Straight brush coats lashes evenly, from base to tips, for a perfectly defined and separated look.Définicils Pro 2007: Curved brush deposits more product at the root of the lash for a fuller look.High Définicils 2008 : Soft rubber brush offers effortless glide for individually separated and l...
Aromatherapy + Perfume = Seduction
2008-04-18 21:19:00 Here's an idea... a perfume that relaxes, de-stresses and calms, while STILL offering a delicious fragrance... Hmmm.... smart.Looks like I've found it! SCENSOIR parfum de reves is a treatment perfume. It combines aromatherapy properties with classic perfumery. The oil rollers come in three distinct scents, ce, em, and el, and they are available as a trio set or individually.It's a very seductive experience... the oils come in a sleek matted black roller and once dotted onto your skin, they evoke a beautifully pungent scent. I love that they feel and smell natural, not like most perfumes which can actually leave my neck and palms red and irritated from all of the synthetic fragrant ingredients. Scensoir is free of alcohol, dye and harsh preservatives so it is actually GOOD for your skin... and your mind!A word (or several...) from the company:"Leveraging high concentrations of naturally-derived notes which are then infused into a 100% Certified Organic Jojoba Oil base...

2008-04-17 20:44:00 I spent the entire weekend in a salt water swimming pool (don't ask... salt water pools are the rave in L.A.). Although salt water is great for the skin and, unlike chlorine, it doesn't turn your hair green, it still does dry out my mane.So, naturally, I needed a heavy-duty conditioner after my Sunday night wash.I've used Pureology products before. I happen to really like their ColourMax system with the AnitFade Complex, great for color-treated hair, and the UVA/ UVB sun protection, great for summer.And now I've discovered a new must-have. Pureology's NANOWORKS Hair Masque. It too is equipped with the AnitFade Complex (to maintain color), and an Anti-Aging Complex, which restores hair to a more youthful condition. The mask is thick, but works quickly - only 5 minutes one to two times a week. It's infused with a plethora of antioxidants like pomegranate and blueberry to restore and revitalize the hair shaft.Summer hair is easily destroyed... sun, swim, ocean - all great for f...

10 Things YOU Need To Know About Retinol...
2008-04-15 17:47:00 Love this! Retinol has long been used to clear problem skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimize pore size, aid in erasing hyperpigmentation and sun damage, and exfoliate skin to bring new, healthy skin to the surface.Thanks to Johnson and Johnson's Roc and their newest skin product,RETINOL CORREXION® DEEP WRINKLE DAILY MOISTURIZER with SPF 30, we now have a cheat sheet on how to use Retinol.Here are the 10 things YOU need to know about Retinol:1. Retinol products containing pure and stable Vitamin A are most effective. Retinol?s structure allows it to immediately set to work improving skin?s appearance. In contrast, Retinol esters (pro retinol, retinyl palmitate, retinyl propionate, etc.) first have to be converted into Retinol before they can begin to work.2. Retinol fights fine lines AND deep wrinkles. Whether you?re looking to prevent future signs of aging or hoping to appear years younger, there?s a Retinol product suited to your needs.
