Elemis, the lifestyle skincare company that we’ve all seen when cruising around the world (they operate spas on practically every cruise ship), as well as when we’re relaxing in some of the best hotels in the world is (this week) arriving in the premier retailer of the world…Bergdorf Goodman.
The line has some exceptional products that adapt to your own personal lifestyle, including the
sloughs off dead skin while preparing the cells below to be exposed (unlike any other brand).
I’ve also recently tried some of their other products (such as the Milk Bath, that smells heavenly and leaves your skin baby soft and Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal) and found them to be quite lovely (as the British woman who helped me at the counter would say).
Elemis grows, harvests, and produces all of the botanical ingredients that go into all of their products (I don’t know of anyone else who does this) and then takes the best of what they produce for their own products and sells the rest to other companies (someone’s got a good head on their shoulders).
$371.
Elemis is also available in the US retail market on Nordstrom.com and select Nordstrom stores.
Its time that we ladies wake up and realize that these celebs and models do not look like that 24/7 and if they do they are only the super popular ones that can afford to have a staff on hand to keep them beautiful at all times.
If I hear one more beautiful teenage girl beating themselves up because they don’t look like a supermodel or why cant they have the face of a certain celebrity I am going to go nuts! What you aren’t realizing is that the those celebs don’t look like that either! It takes a team, and when I say team, I mean team, of people at their call to create the image you see in print.
Makeup artists and photographers will agree, we work wonders on a lot of people to make them appear the way you see them, that is what we do! We are artists!!! We give you a perfect “painting” of these faces, and trust me, sometimes it takes a long time to get that face looking like what you see in print!
Check out TMZ.com for a quick peek at some of your favorite celebrities looking pretty scary. Oh wait, SCARY is what they look on a daily basis, before the makeup, lighting, fashion, and hairstylist get them in their chairs!
Seriously girls, don’t beat yourself up! You are all gorgeous and have a unique beauty to share with the world. Just be you, a confident woman, and your beauty will shine on all day long, without the expense of an entourage of professionals. Smile, be happy, and do something nice for someone, especially yourself! I’ll leave you with this short clip on how it’s all done in the industry.
Ok, I have found the answer to a serious self tanning obsession!!! The New GlowFusion™ ‘AirGlow™’ Airbrush Gun!!!
This amazing new friend of mine is all you need to get the perfect self tan. This is the first time this has been done and it has been worth the wait!!! No more going to the spray tan salon and having to stand naked, holding your chest, while you are sprayed down by a complete stranger. Now you can do it all in the privacy of your own home!
Wait, it gets even better! This at-home airbrush gun blows out a vapor-light even mist of GlowFusion Micro-Nutrient Protein Tan and it dries on contact. No more standing still and waiting for your lotions to dry.
This GlowFusion AirGlow Airbrush Kit retails for $175 but it is well worth it! A day at the spray tan salon will cost anywhere from $35-$85 and that is only a one time application. The best part is you can even buy refills so you can have this flawless spray tan year round, trust me, we all look better with a little bit of color. The refills are only $62.
So ladies and gents, its time to aim and glow! Summer is around the corner and now you can get a jump start on that sunkissed glow, without sitting and baking or waiting for the color to show.
You can find this sexy, seamless sunless airglow gun and it’s refills at Nordstrom.com and Sephora.com.
Not all lash curlers are the same. If you’ve never used one (and you have straight lashes, it’s the easiest way to make your eyes stand out without a lot of other make-up. If you’re using the conventional type, you need to find one that fits the length and curve of your eye. Most people find that the best one is from Shu Uemura.
$18.00
Available at Barneys, and shuuemura.com
If you’re the techie-type, try the new battery powered lash curler from Sephora. (I haven’t tried this yet, but it looks cool) Their blurb says, “Simply turn on, wait 15 seconds, place comb directly onto lash line above lashes, gently lift and comb lashes into the desired shape (as you would with a mascara brush), hold for one or two seconds, then release. Repeat across lash line until the desired effect is achieved.”
