Timing couldn’t have been more perfect for me to become acquainted with Phyto-Ceuticals Skincare ! Phyto-C was introducing their new O-Live Skincare Collection, and I had the opportunity try this 5-product collection of products.

O-Live Mask
$136

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Mask – This mask applied easily and felt good on my skin. From the information I received with the product, it was nice to know this mask could be used on any skin type. My skin did have a firm feeling after using the mask, and since it stimulates collagen production, is healing , moisturizing, lightening, and an antioxidant, I found using the mask really did give my skin a noticeable dewy, and very even appearance.

Phyto-C SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Serum $130

SUPERHEAL™ O-live Serum: I used this serum after cleansing or using the O-Live Mask. It’s light weight, not oily, and has a pleasant scent. If you have rosacea, are looking for an anti-fungal, or anti-inflammatory product that also provides antioxidant benefits, you’ll love the multi uses of this serum. It also will help with scar tissue, stretch marks, improve the skin’s texture, and help with firming your skin.

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Cream: This was the cream I used both AM and PM after cleansing and applying serum. “Repair, Nourishing, and Regenerating the skin” were referenced as some of the benefits you could look forward to when using this product. I was impressed with the results I noticed. It’s a very hydrating cream, but not at all heavy or greasy! It tends to “calm” and help with “skin reactions and itching“. O-Live Cream was very compatible with my occasional skin sensitivities, and its cell regeneration and firming qualities were a real plus.

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Gel    $125

SUPERHEAL™ O-Live Gel
$125

SUPERHEAL™ O’Live Gel: The O’Live Gel is a “repair and intensive moisture source” for your skin. Add to that, its antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory attributes will “sooth and calm itchy skin, promote wound healing, and help with the rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis symptoms.” . It’s consistency has a more fluid texture I really liked, and is possibly what enables it’s ability to “immediately reinforce natural skin hydration by binding moisture into the skin layers.”

$130

SUPERHEAL™ O’Live Lotion: O’Live Lotion feels as smooth as silk when it’s applied. This powerful Anti-Inflammatory “reinforces natural skin hydration, has anti-virus properties, and helps reduce redness and psoriasis symptoms.

The Phyto-C O’Live Collection has so much to offer in caring for your skin.“The Olive Leaf Extract has quite an impressive history as it was used “medicinally in ancient Egypt for both internal and external healing!”

I liked every one of the exceptional products in the O’Live Collection and encourage you to spend some time reading about all of the Phyto-C “natural product chemistry skin and health care products” that are available at: http://www.phyto-c.com

National Brow Day- October 2, 2014

Did you know today is National Brow Day? From Wink Brow Bar to Smashbox, today is a wonderful day to celebrate this wonderful feature with two of the most famous brows – Audrey and Elizabeth!

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn

Their impeccable and lush brows further prove that this trend is here to stay, so lets look at the past to predict the future, as 2014 and now 2015 are definitely going to be the brow years to look forward to, from young ingénues like Lily Collins to Ashley Olsen.

Brow Day

Brow Day

What’s the modern way of shaping and filling in brows to create this lush effect? Look no further than threading, especially such as the West Village’s Wink Brow Bar, which specializes in organic threading. Anti-inflammatory and best for both shaping and growing a lusher set, read below for owner Umbreen Sheikh’s tips and tricks:

On promoting brow hair growth: “Everybody is different in how much their brow grows but you can try the following:

Brush them with an eyebrow brush, always remembering to go upwards and then outwards. Then, moisturize your brows, making sure the hairs aren’t dry. Another thing you can do is to take vitamins, such as B-complex and C.”

On using tools to tame growing out brows: “You can use brow powders or pens to keep your brows filled in during the growing phase. You can also use a non-sticky brow wax. This keeps the hairs pressed back in the right direction on your face, making your brows appear fuller.”

Achieving lush brows can also be as quick as filling them in! Try Smashbox’s Brow Tech or Wink Brows to Go quad for a lovely and easy look!

“Wearing the color pink has become the universal expression of support for breast cancer, and what better way to wear that support than with a collection of powerful pink nail polish hues,” says Duri Cosmetics Founder and Head Chemist Faina Ritz.  Duri’s The Power of the Pink is a collection of beautiful and inspiring pink hues for women to show off their support of family, friends and the 3 million U.S. women who have undergone treatment. Ritz continues, “If football players can garner national headlines by wearing pink socks in October, women raising their hands and displaying nails painted in a great pink hue can certainly garner greater and continued awareness.”
Although Breast Cancer Awareness is celebrated in October, it is important to maintain awareness year round. Duri plans on keeping the collection and donation program on site and available after its launch this October.
The Power of Pink Collection includes 4 pink-empowered hues: Pinky Promise – a shimmery baby pink with a satin-shine finish; Pink Positive Thoughts – a medium pink with micro gold sparkles and high gloss finish; I Pink I Can – a perfect salmon-pink shade with ultra high gloss; Pink Warrior – a zesty metallic-like hot pink shade loaded with tons of shimmer and sparkle with a high gloss finish.

All Duri Cosmetics products are available nationwide at salons, spas and specialty stores, as well as online at www.duri.com.  Duri’s entire collection of nail polishes (over 250 shades to choose from) are completely safe, free from DBP, TOLUENE and FORMALDEHYDE and environmentally friendly. Individual polishes can be purchased for $6 or the entire collection as a gift set for $24.

Cocktails & Color to Fight Breast Cancer from Beauty Bar & Nailtini®

POST ON OCTOBER 1

_LC_OCT14_productImages-02

In what can best be described as a pairing that begs the question “what took them so long?”, Beauty Bar and Nailtini, renowned purveyors of cocktails and beauty, are coming together in the fight against breast cancer in the best way they know how – through martinis and manicures for the cause.

When Beauty Bar founder Paul Devitt lost his ex-wife to breast cancer caused by the BRCA gene mutation – which could also affect his young daughters – he resolved to leverage the notoriety of his trend-setting business to make a difference. Nailtini founder Michelle Toma Olson was only too eager to get involved, pledging to stock participating Beauty Bar locations with her brand’s incomparable lacquers for services and retail sale, proceeds from which will benefit the Basser Research Center for BRCA at the Universtity of Pennsylvania.

This passionate part of Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center provides education and support for individuals and families with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, with its mission being to deliver cutting edge research in basic and clinical sciences to advance the care of individuals who carry them.

Devitt and Olson took the collaboration a step further by curating a Beauty Bar collection for “The Lacquer Cabinet” – Nailtini’s exclusive lacquer delivery service featuring limited-edition on-trend collections made for polish mixology. Launching just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this trio of not-your-grandmother’s-pinks features Nailtini’s vegan, 5-free and low-toxin formula, peerless performance, and a $2 per box donation to the Basser Center:
Pink Pussycat – sheer smoke brimming with hot pink glitter
Pink Fix – hot petal pink meets sultry glamour
Pink Pillow – champagne-kissed pink with satiny shimmer

With each in Nailtini’s all-premium formula, you can wear them straight, layered or hand-mixed with other shades in the empty mini bottles that come in each Lacquer Cabinet delivery box to create a myriad of custom nail looks – whatever you feel like stirring up. The shades are also exclusively available for services, along with more from the Nailtini range, at all Beauty Bar locations.

The Nailtini for Beauty Bar Lacquer Cabinet Collection is available at tinibeauty.com and will ship to subscribers in October 2014. Purchase a single collection for $25, a 6-month subscription for $23/month or a 12-month subscription for $20/month. A true happy hour for hands, each collection offers more than $44 in retail value plus free shipping.
