Two for One Cleansing from BABOR is Perfection

What could be better than a sensational cleanser? How about cleanser that is a sensational toner as well. BABOR has created that cleanser, just for you. BABOR’s Gel & Tonic 2-in-1 is a cleanser and toner combined and is the only cleanser you will need to thoroughly cleanse your face and skin at the end of the day. BABOR’s Cleansing Gel 2-in-1 will thoroughly remove dirt, make-up and other impurities on your skin leaving you feeling clean and refreshed. As most of us know, toner is a very important part of the cleansing process. Toner removes the last traces of  impurities on your skin and BABOR’s Cleansing Gel 2-in-1 delivers an effective cleansing and toning all in one step.

BABOR’s Cleansing Gel 2-in-1 contains pansy extract and salicylic acid which help to deep clean your skin and also works at eliminating existing blemishes. I found that putting a few squirts of the cleansing gel onto a wash cloth and swirling the cleanser around my face, was the most effective way to use the cleansing gel.  The cleansing gel has a mild but pleasant minty scent that rinsed off easily. BABOR’s Cleansing Gel 2-in-1 is suitable for all skin types and is amazing for hydrating your skin, leaving you with fresh, smooth radiant looking skin.

BABOR has other amazing skincare products and you can find them at www.babor.com

BABOR can also be found at the finest luxury resorts, leading day spas and cosmetic boutiques around the world.

Elegant and Exquisite it’s Krigler’s Extraordinaire Camelia

It’s Elegant, Exquisite, Excellent, Ethereal, Exciting and Exhilarating. I have found, yet again, another exquisite perfume created by Krigler, namely Extraordinaire Camelia 209. This alluring and intoxicating scent was created in 2009 to celebrate Krigler‘s 105th Anniversary. In order to truly appreciate this spectacular scent, you must try it on your wrist and then, you will  experience its true scent. As stated by Krigler, “Extraordinaire Camelia 209 gathers two sorts of Camellias flowers, corsican lemon, pink peppercorn from florida, indian cardamom, Bourbon Vanilla, Musc de Baur, Cedar, Chinese Tea”. I find that this scent carries a fruity/ spice aroma, one which I love. The Camelia Flower symbolizes excellence, pride, abnegation and modesty. Extraordinaire Camelia 209 is the perfect scent to declare the perfect love and  recognize an ideal relationship.

Krigler has also created its “New” candle in the Extraordinaire Camelia 209 scent, and if you love the perfume you will become addicted to the candle. Nothing is more calming than bathing with a Krigler candle lit nearby, the aroma will surely relax you.

Remember to shop www.krigler.com when planning for the most exquisite gift. One will truly remember a gift of Krigler given by you.

Bona Clara’s Remarkable Age Appropriate Skin Care

 

I have just discovered Bona Clara, a remarkable Skincare Line offering age appropriate skincare. Bona Clara was developed by MIT graduate and ingredient expert, Jasmina Aganovic, who started her first line, Stages of Beauty a few years ago. Bona Clara consists of 4 skincare lines created specifically to address the biological skin changes that take place during our 20’s right through our 50’s and older. Bona Clara is free of sulfates, parabens, petrochemicals, GMOs, phthalates, fragrances and synthetic dyes, which makes for a remarkable skincare line.

As stated by Bona Clara, “Each age-specific line consists of beauty routine basics: a cleanser, scrub, serum, toner and a treatment cream.  Additional cutting-edge products such as makeup removers, an SPF and night and neck creams allow women to tailor their anti-aging regimen to suit their individual needs, budget, and schedule”.

Before selecting the skin care product that if perfect for your age, visit http://www.bonaclara.com/science. I am enjoying 50’s level 1 which consists of 50’s Cleanser, 50′ Toner and 50’s Treatment Cream and these anti-aging products are designed to minimize fine lines, stimulate collagen and elastin and help balance changing hormones.

50’s Cleanser is perfect for gentle cleansing to eliminate dirt and make-up from your neck and face while keeping your skin hydrated. Natural plant extracts help reduce inflammation and monk’s pepper berry extract targets aging skin. I applied a small amount of cleanser on a wet wash cloth and this non-foaming cleanser left my face feeling clean and fresh.

For an even fresher feel, spray 50’s Toner onto a cotton ball and wipe your face and neck, it is a fabulous feeling and you can smell the refreshing light scent of gardenia, it’s simply delightful. 50’s Toner is formulated to balance your skin’s PH, has anti-aging benefits and provides a very soothing effect.

The 50’s Treatment Cream is an exceptional face cream, designed to “improve surface immunity, firmness, and elasticity, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and balancing the effects of changing hormones”. After applying the Treatment Cream my skin felt like velvet, I LOVED IT.

Jasmina started fresh with all new formulations, more product offerings and a new direct-selling business model empowering women to become Brand Reps (over 1,200 women have already signed on).  Keep in mind that the general public is still able to purchase products directly on www.bonaclara.com. Choose your age range today!

Get Beach Styled Hair With Organix

My daughter Adrienne has the most beautiful thick, long, wavy, hair imaginable. Until recently, she would spend long hours with a hot iron. Her mission was to have the straightest hair possible. Yesterday, to my amazement, she was wearing her hair down and I saw the most beautiful curls resting down her back. I asked her what she did to her hair to get her hair so curly and her answer was simply, “ORGANIX“.  She said,”I used Organix Surf Paste, it’s my favorite. This is how my hair looks after a beach day”.  She went on to describe how Organix Moroccan Surf Paste made it very easy for her to create her wavy, curly hair. After she washed her hair she put some of the paste on her fingertips and ran her fingers through her hair allowing the paste to work its way in her hair. Then she scrunched and twisted and styled and the result was beautiful, soft  wavy curls.

Moroccan Surf Paste by Organix creates an unstructured, surf style, containing moisturizing Moroccan Argan Oil and sea kelp to condition strands while sea salt adds separation, texture and control with a matte finish for a super-cool, beach vibe style.

My daughter equally loves th Moroccan Sea Salt Spray and tell me it’s “Amazing!”. She sprays it onto her dry hair and with a few scrunches and twists, the curls bounce right back. With both Organix Sea Salt Spray and Surf Paste, she can create a look that she likes to wear while on the beach. The texturizing sea salt adds the volume while the Moroccan Argan Oil adds the shine.  Her hair feels silky and looks healthy and smells absolutely fantastic.

I found an interesting fact, as stated by Organix, “the Moroccan Surf Collection is packaged in eco-friendly bottles manufactured from materials containing recycled post-consumer resin. Organix is for all of us who aspire to make better choices and are aware of the integrity of ingredients. Organix salon-inspired formulas contain exotic active ingredients, use a unique blend of sulfate free surfactants…plus, they smell absolutely amazing. Organix bottles are made from recycled, post-consumer resin. The labels are printed utilizing environmentally friendly inks and compostable label film made from an annually renewable resource corn, not from petrochemicals. The products are not tested on animals, a fact they are proud of and will not change. And Organix’s continued mission is to never sacrifice performance in their quest for sustainability.”

Even if it’s not beach season, you can still have beach styled hair at http://www.organixhair.com/  and view their entire line of hair care products.

For Radiant Skin, it’s Derma E

I have just added another cosmetic item to my beauty arsenal, Derma E Evenly Radiant BB Creme SPF 25. I found Derma E Evenly Radiant Creme to be  a combination of a foundation and a concealer with added SPF protection. This product was so lightweight, offering complete coverage and hiding the little imperfections on my face. It felt like I didn’t have anything on my face at all and my skin looked fabulous. A tiny dab of Derma E Evenly Radiant BB Creme erased the red patches on my cheeks and the coverage lasted all day. Most days, I only  need to concentrate on a certain spot like my cheeks or forehead. There is no need to cover my whole face if its not necessary, just the areas of concern.

I especially like the fact that with Derma E Evenly Radiant BB Creme SPF 25, I could wear it alone, over my moisturizer, or as a foundation. I could even use my face powder over it. My skin looked glowing afterwards and very little make-up was needed afterwards.

Basically, Derma E Evenly Radiant BB Creme SPF 25 is a multi-functional mineral beauty balm with an advanced skincare formula that conceals with lightweight, color-correcting coverage for flawless skin.   

According to Derma E “An Intensive Skin Brightening Complex featuring Active Plant Stem Cells brightens and evens skin tone to boost radiance and revitalize skin’s youthful glow. The most advanced form of the peptide complex Matrixyl® diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenates to reinvigorate skin’s visible firmness and elasticity. Antioxidants sourced from Green Tea, and Vitamins C and E shield skin from age damage while SPF 25 prevents sun damage. As a quick, easy all-in-one skincare product, this refining BB Crème provides all day hydration while softening and soothing skin.”

Derma E Evenly Radiant BB Creme SPF 25 is available in 2 shades, Light Tint or Medium Tint in a 2 oz size and can be found at http://www.dermae.com/

Roll On the Scent with Lavanila Passion Fruit



Holiday shopping is behind us, but special occasions, like Birthdays, Anniversary’s, Mother’s Day, well, they are all always around us. With that in mind, I am always on the lookout for unique and special gifts to present. Lavanila’s Passion Fruit Fragrance Rollerball is one of them.

I love rollerball fragrances. They are perfect for quick fragrance touch ups while on the go. Another nice feature wit Rollerballs is that the fragrance will go on exactly where you want it, like your wrists or neck line. Unlike some spritzes and sprays,  the fragrance can literally be over powering because not only is it sprayed on you abut the fragrance really can go everywhere.

Lavanila Rollerball is long and slim, therefore, slides easily in your purse or travel bag and can be reapplied discreetly.  Did I mention that the Passion Fruit Fragrance smells absolutely Divine! All it takes is a few dabs on your wrists and you can smell its sweet fragrance throughout the day.

Lavanila states that, “The Healthy Fragrance Roller-Ball expertly blends the finest essential oils and Madagascar vanilla to create pampering, fresh scents. Each natural fragrance is infused with antioxidant, goji berry and kakadu plum, to deliver 30 essential vitamins and minerals, promoting a healthy well-being. Made without anything harmful, these fun, convenient roller-balls make for a perfect on-the-go perfume.
