Kiss My Face Potent & Pure Organic Face Care line

With over 200 natural products on the market, Kiss My Face is a recognized name in the cruelty free cosmetic world, so it almost comes as a surprise to find that they are releasing a Potent & Pure Organic Face Care line. After trying a few products though, I can say they have truly improved an already solid brand. Boasting natural ingredients such as Jojoba Oil, Ester C, Tapioca Root Starch, Organic Mint and more, this line stands out in the ever growing world of natural skin care.

The Clean for a Day creamy face cleanser ($15 for 4 oz.) is perhaps the best smelling wash I have ever had the pleasure of using, even when compared to other organic and natural lines. I have sensitive/combination skin and found the soap free formula left my skin clean, without over-drying (it derives its cleaning agents from sugar and corn). An “Insider Tip” indicates this product can also be used with a cotton ball as a make-up remover. While I found it a little too creamy for this, it still fulfilled its main purpose as a face wash quite well.

My favorite product in the line is the Pore Shrink Deep Pore Cleansing Mask ($15 for 2 oz.) — a refreshing mask made up of Clove, Tea Tree Oil and Lemongrass. Gentle enough for everyday use on oily skin, yet effective enough for weekly use by those with combination to dry skin, like myself. Using the product once a week will also make the 2 oz. last, as the mask does not require very thick coverage to work.

Additional products in the line include a Jojoba & Mint Facial Scrub ($15 for 2 oz.), SPF 4 Brightening Day Crème ($23 for 1 oz.), Breakout Oil ($19 for 1 oz.), and an incredible hydrating Night Crème, which I enjoyed using once a week for nighttime repair. With ingredients ranging from 63-84% organic and products that deliver the results they promise, Kiss My Face has established a line that should create repeat users out of fans of cruelty-free cosmetics.

3 Tips To Achieve Audrina Patridge’s Gym Beauty

beauty tips

Do You Worry About Your Gym Looks?

I never used to worry about how I looked at the gym–you’re there for a workout, not a fashion show–until my husband, bless his heart, decided to snap some paparazzi-style pics of me as I was leaving Bally’s. Conclusion: I need to look a little more primped before, during, and after my workouts.

While Audrina Patridge has been spending a little too much time in the ol’ booth, she is rather inspiring with her slim physique and put-together gym look. If you are interested in updating your gym bag with fresheners and doo-dads for beauty, here are a few of my new favorite products:

*SmartMouth Mouthwash: This is like a clinical-grade deodorant, but for the mouth–you never knew you needed it until you tried it. I don’t know about you, but I get really phlegm-y when I work out hard, and this is a nice way to freshen when you’re sans toothbrush. Did I mention that it last for 12 hours? Use this for morning workouts!

*Smart Hair Solutions: Does your hair get insane when you work out? I’ve taken to moussing my tresses a tad before bundling my hair up for a run, and it works wonders on those flyaways that end up getting damp and crazy. A poyntail is often worse than a bun, because it will leave a hair ridge and get sweaty. If you dampen your ponytail, twist it around, and secure it, your hair won’t be half as frizzy. Don’t forget to pack extra hair elastics in that gym bag!

*Olay Cleansing Cloths: A huge mistake that we can make when we want to look good after the gym is topping our faces off with heavy foundation. Use a cleansing cloth to thoroughly remove sweat and other “ick,” and then use a cool-air blast on the hairdryer to calm down red cheeks. Concentrate on fixing damp hair and adding lip gloss instead of your rosy glow–it’s all-natural and very healthy.

Impulse Buy of the Week – Benefit One Hot Minute

This is the perfect little treat to give yourself an amazing glow for holiday parties, nights out on the town and family gatherings where they’ll be plenty of pictures taken.

I loved how lightweight the powder felt on my skin (both the powder and the glitter are triple, finely milled) and it gave me a sparkly glow that was flattering without being so over the top you can’t focus on the overall makeup. I liked using it on my cheek bones, collar bone and brow bone and, at night, mixing a bit with my regular loose face powder. It has a matte finish, so the sparkles look quite natural and really enhance the skin. The cute little brush was also perfect for applying the powder exactly where I wanted it.

The actual shade of the powder is a copper/bronze hybrid. For those of you with lighter skin, this has the added benefit of acting like a light bronzer, to give the skin more color and perk up pale complexions. For darker and brown skins this is perfect for highlighting the skin and giving a beautiful glow that works with or without additional blush. – RLB

Celebrity Beauty Trend: Nail Art

Headed to the salon?

Katy Perry Loves Her Gems

It’s not just Katy Perry who’s been showing off her gem-encrusted fingernails! There have been quite a few celebs spotted who have embraced a fancier nail look on the red carpet and at special events recently. Is this a trend that you’ll try this season?

Katy Perry recently Tweeted that “Diamonds ARE [a] girl['s] best friend,” and showed off her diamond-y nails to the world. We don’t have to go that far for a similar look!

Keep this trick in mind for those times when you are going all-out, for a party or a huge event. I’m planning mine for the holiday season, for example, when ultra shine is just part of the package.

Aim for a look that combines monochromatic nail gems and color for a slightly more sophisticated look, like a glittery or sparkly silver nail polish with clear or silver nail gems. For a girly effect, you can try a very pale pink; for a tough effect, try black-on-black.

The easiest way to try the nail gem trend for yourself is to carefully place the gems onto freshly-painted nails, applying two coats of extra-strength topcoat after all the stones have been placed. My favorite topcoat is Sally Hansen’s Mega Shine, which is affordable and a great way to finish off your party-riffic nails. And a tip for the placement? You can pop gems on using an orange stick, which is a good precision tool that you probably already have in your manicure kit.

Will you attempt the nail art trend this season?

The holiday season is just around the corner so don’t shop until the last minute. You can find some great beauty items right now and save a ton of money. I rather compile a list and start shopping now instead of waiting until there’s a mob scene. I found a couple of great stocking stuffers for just under $25 . Hopefully these will help narrow your holiday gift ideas list.

1. Demeter Holiday Stocking Stuffers 2009- I came across this on the qvc.com site and I thought this was the most coolest stocking stuffer. If you’re a Demeter fan like myself check out this holiday gift idea. Four different bottles of Demeter’s top-selling scents in Egg Nog is a sweet scent of nutmeg and cinnamon (Yummy!), Snow is a cool and crisp scent, Christmas tree is a joyful holiday scent, and Mulled Cider is a fab combination of apples and holiday spice. $20 at qvc.com

2. Bath and Body Works Perfect Hands in Warm Vanilla Sugar- This store is loaded with fantastic stuffers for under $15. You must stop by Bath and Body Works and check out what they have to offer. I chose this particular stocking stuffer because Warm Vanilla Sugar is my favorite scent and my hands could use some extra moisture this winter. It comes with hand cream and antibacterial Pocket Bac that’s beautifully wrapped.

3. Pureology Pure Volume Holiday Stocking Stuffer- Pureology is excellent organic hair care product so if you’re looking for an eco-friendly product, this is the perfect gift idea.

Natural Hair Color from Aubrey Organics – Ayurvedic Blended Botanicals

31cletmW6EL._SL500_AA280_

Aubrey Organics, Color Me Natural, 100% Natural Permanent Hair Color, Dark Brown, 4 oz (115 g)

We put a lot of stuff in our hair shampoo, conditioner, products, and color. The good news is that hair care products are made mostly of water. The bad news is that the chemical ingredients that actually do the work—chemical detergents, dyes, fragrances, and conditioners—aren’t always safe for you or good for the environment. Dyes and colors often come with ingredient lists that are 60 or 70 chemicals long and can be pretty toxic. Aubrey Organics Color Me Natural is made of chemical-free all natural ingredients. This mild ayurvedic blend of botanicals gently coats the hair for vibrant, stable color that lasts without damaging your hair. Covers gray and enhances your own natural hair color.

David Yurman Luxurious Body Cream

david-yurman-luxurious-body-creamLuxury beauty. In today’s economy that is a bad, bad word. Because really? How many of us actually have the money to spend on anything luxurious? Yet, when we do, it is like coveting a prized possession. My friends (Channeling John McCain when I say that), David Yurman’s newest addition to his fragrance collection, Luxurious Body Cream, is one of those possessions you will covet.

Glass jar. Gold covered cap. The rich scent of amber mixed with a very pretty floral fragrance…you’ll feel the need to slap on your favorite LBD and heels when wearing this body cream. It smells that good. There’s no need to even wear perfume when you use it, although no worries, it is not overbearing in scent. The best part is that it not only smells indulgently sexy, it also hydrates your skin making it feel supple and smooth.

It’s not too often that I wear, or even like, perfume-scented lotions and creams, but this fragrance ignites visions of a more youthful and sexy me, that I simply adore it. Or it could be because I am now 35 and am reflecting on my younger days…ahh nostalgia.

David Yurman’s Luxurious Body Cream is available for $90 at www.DavidYurman.com Have you tried it?

Caroline Chu Anti-Aging Skincare Regime

caroline-chu_

I had lunch recently with Caroline Chu, the founder of the Caroline Chu skincare and makeup line. Caroline’s namesake beauty brand was launched in 2007 and on QVC earlier this month. Caroline is a classic beauty and she is living proof and a testament to her products. In addition to her gracious personality, Caroline is an innovator in the beauty world, combining technology with the finest ingredients used by generations of women in Asia to defy aging. Caroline Chu is high tech business woman turned beauty entrepreneur who gave up her career as a successful creative director in Silicon Valley before launching her own skincare and cosmetics line now available at Zappos and QVC. While jet-setting around the globe to faraway destinations, Caroline was inspired to pursue her true passion, the art affordable and effective skincare. Caroline then spent two years researching and developing her products drawing on her background in fine art and high tech.

Caroline Chu’s vision is to let women indulge in her products —an experience every woman deserves, no matter how busy her life. Every product is tested, and used by Caroline and her team. Each product is made in small batches in order to maintain a high degree of quality. As a brand, Caroline Chu stands for more than good looks. It’s about embracing the feeling of empowerment and comfort in one’s own skin.

Caroline gave me a few of her products to try. Two of my favorites are the Day & Night moisturizing cream and the Bamboo herbal face scrub. The Day & Night Cream is smooth and velvety and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or leaving shiny patches on my skin. It also created a smooth and even surface on which to apply my primer, concealer and foundation. It has quite a luxurious feel to it. I don’t have many wrinkles (yet!) but hopefully this will prevent the premature appearance of lines down the road. Also part of my weekly regime is the Bamboo Herbal Facial Scrub, which I use weekly to exfoliate and my skin feels refreshed afterward. Although I do have to be careful not to scrub around under my nose and chin because of rosacea. I like the fact that the beads are natural and will dissolve and not harm the environment. Both of these products are available in the Caroline Chu Anti Aging Kit at QVC for $89, normally $99. My mom is also a fan of Caroline’s skincare line and I plan to buy it for her for Christmas.
