Indian Gooseberry Treatment Oil

I just reached for this product an hour ago. It was sitting untouched in my testing basket. I had just run out of my oil/serum/defrizzer and was in a slight panic. I pumped the oil in my hand and did a quick pat down. I noticed the immediate results but was more blown away by the scent.
It is worthy of being housed in a perfume bottle and could give established fragrances a run for their money.

This product is the brainchild from two hip hair gurus. Amanda George(a Chris McMillan disciple) and Neil Weisberg are two former Londoners running a salon in LA. As with any celebrity client filled salon, they have developed a line of hair care products. The line is focused on helping color treated, dry and under-nourished hair.

Besides delivering high shine and superior defrizzing action, the Indian Gooseberry Treatment Oil smells unbelievable. It smells like surf and sun. I detect a creamy rich coconut/sun tan lotion note that has been warmed by the sun.
It truly is mouthwatering.

This retails for $42(wowza! but so worth it!) and is available at Space NK and Beauty.com

Huiles & Baumes Alpine SOS Balm Review

The skincare line is 100% natural and organic with no parabens, preservatives, PEG(Polyethylene Glycol), colorants, synthetic perfumes and petroleum products.

What the heck is in it?
Arnica(flowers often used as an external application in sprains and bruises), helichrysum(everlasting flowers), Carapa(tree), Jojoba essential oil, shea butter and Callophyllis are the listed ingredients. It smells herbal and slightly anise-like. It quickly melts into the skin and leaves a subtle sheen. The balm soothes irritated skin and reduces bruises. I am currently without a bruise so I can not attest to this. I have been using it on my feet to achieve baby soft heels. It has worked wonders.
It retails for $42 and is available at Space NK.

Space NK

Space NK was founded by Nicky Kinnaird in April 1993. Her vision "was to achieve a light, open, yet intimate enviornment, serviced by high skilled and unbiased beauty retail experts, and to offer a unique and eclectic mix of both lesser known brands and the best of the familar ranges sourced from around the world". Brands range from Chantecaille to Eve Lom.

Kinnaird helps nuture the creative people behind our favorite brands. She works with Christopher Sheldrake on Space NK fragrances. She was also an early fan and believer in Poppy Kings lippie vision.

Space NK offers the Nars, Laura Mercier, and By Terry makeup lines. They also offer exclusive cult favorites Zelens, Pro-Ferm, Eve Lom(my latest love), Huilles and Baumes, Face Boutique and Joshi Holistic skincare. High end lines Revive, Jurlique and Ren are also offered at the store.
The fragrances sold at Space NK range from the highly popular Marc Jacobs to the Stoned by Solange Azagury. I recently fell under the spell of Diptyque's L'Ombre dans L'Eau. This is a gorgeous blend of blackcurrant leaves with Bulgarian roses.

Visit the store the next time you are in NYC.
It is located on 99 Greene Street in Soho.

Total Beauty NYC Launch Party: A night of Red Lippies, Champagne and Beauty.

This past week I attended the NYC launch party of Total Beauty. I joined Kristen from Total Beauty, Erika from Makeup Bag and Julia from All About The Pretty for a night of beauty and fun. The party was held at the fabulous Space NK.

I am really smitten with this place. It has the most amazing niche brands and a sales staff that is knowledgeable on all things beauty. This is a true beauty sanctuary.

The Total Beauty party goers were a mixture of bloggers,magazine editors and super cool PR gals. I finally got to meet Amber from Beauty Blogging Junkie, Marina from Makeup Loves Me, Elke from The Beauty Newsletter, Delphine from Steeping Beauty and the dashing and hilarious Ben from We Love Beauty.

It was great to mingle with fellow beauty addicts and meet some of the fabulous editors and writers from my favorite magazines. I quickly adored Genevieve from Allure. She was beyond lovely and a blast to dish beauty with.

Julie, Erika and I showed off the Total Beauty site to the party attendees. The site's goal is to be the ultimate beauty source on the Internet. They have created a useful beauty product library that is constantly growing. As a beauty junkie and a friend to many cool librarians...this is thrilling.
The site also provides reviews, beauty videos and the soon-to-be-famous Beauty Scout. This function will recommend beauty products based on your needs and likes after you complete a series of questions. The recommendations appear in the subtle beauty scout box on the screen. The box is small, non-intrusive with no flashing or annoying pop ups. It is like a little beauty buddy instead of a pesky sales associate. I highly recommend this part of the site. There is a number of questions to answer but the end result is actually worth it. I swear on my Lancome Behnaz lipstick!
Speaking of the beloved Lancome lipstick...both Julia and I wore it to the party.

The night ended with Amber's buddy, Dana, discovering her holy grail red lippie. The mysterious lippie transformed this Jennifer Connelly look-alike into a "Dita Von Teese worthy" bombshell. It was fun to be a part of this moment.
You never forget your first red...
Dana has promised to do a review for Amber's blog, Beauty Blogging Junkie.

You will need to stay tuned at BBJ for the revelation on the lippie's identity.

Eve Lom Rescue Mask

I have been "jumping at the bit" to test any Eve Lom skincare product. The buzz is that this is the skincare that will change your life.
I do not test many skincare products because my skin is temperamental and prone to sudden outbursts. I treat it like a sleeping giant. I do not wake it up and make it angry.

I decided to test Eve Lom because I believed it was worth the risk. I was desperate for a change and an improvement. I need a rescue from my skin issues.

Last night I tested the Lom Rescue Mask while watching television. This mask was created as a weekly treatment to help with skin flareups and drama.

You have to shake this tube very well. The mask formula is very wet but not clay like. It melts into the skin and is very mild. It does not make the skin tingle or tighten. Some masks will painfully tighten your skin that it makes it impossible to talk, smile or have any expression. This mask is actually comfortable.

You leave the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes. Afterwards you remove it with a damp muslin cloth. The skin is not irritated, blotchy and red. It feels silky smooth and fresh. The results are fairly fabulous and impressive.
I am officially a fan.
Eve Lom rocks!

Space NK Seduction Review

Pursuit and seduction are the essence of sexuality.
It's part of the sizzle.
Camille Paglia

This lotion is temptation in a bottle.
It is a moisturizing blend of Shea and cocoa butters, wheatgerm, sweet almond and sesame oils with antioxidant vitamin E and A. My skin drinks it up quickly.

This is the nitty gritty facts about it.
It is an ultra fine lotion that rivals many high end products. It makes the skin feel like silk and leaves no greasy residue.
However... this is not the reason why I am "head over heels smitten" with this product.
It is actually the fetching and intoxicating scent.

Seduction is a green based fragrance with a heart of fig leaves and dollop of freesia. The drydown is a fabulous base of amber and musk.
The drydown is what captivated me.
And to my delight I have discovered that once again Christopher Sheldrake is behind my smitten status. He collaborated with space NK founder, Nancy Kinnaird on all the Space NK scents and candles.
No wonder why I covet them all!

Hand Lotion retails for $28.00
Hand wash is $24.00
