Soft & Silky is the Work of Orico

Unknown-65

When a friend of mine told me she was using body oil instead of conventional moisturizers like lotions to moisturize, I was quite surprised. I asked her, “Doesn’t the body oil make you feel greasy”?  “Not with the oil I am using, It’s amazing”, she said. The body oil she is referring to is Orico Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil, and she was right, it is AMAZING!

I have been using Orico Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil  before bed, and in the morning after bathing and have never had a greasy experience yet. You will not believe how quickly Orico Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil absorbs when applied to your skin. I especially like how my arms and legs feel, super silky soft. There is no greasy or oily residue, just the feeling of silky soft skin. The light mandarin fragrances makes you want to come back for more.

As stated by www.oricolondon.com/, “This rapidly absorbed, ultra-nourishing organic body oil restores and revitalizes urban-exposed skin to its sheer, silken, radiant and glowing best. Rich in vitamins, Rosehip, Macadamia and cell regenerating Baobab Oil, new Rush Hour Vibrant Dry Body Oil is the smart and fast solution for a city lifestyle. Apply and run!” 

I was very impressed to learn that Every Orico product is free from Parabens, Sulfates, DEA, TEA, PEGS, Petroleum, Propylene, Formaldehyde releasing Preservatives, Mineral Oils, Artificial Fragrances and Colors, Silicone, Glycol, 1,4-Dioxane. This is  truly remarkable and your skin is the one benefiting from this incredible brand.

OSEA anti-aging skincare is a brilliant skincare line providing us with 100% Vegan and USDA Certified Organic Seaweed right  from the ocean straight to your fingertips. If you are looking for a skincare line that is 100% Vegan then OSEA is the skincare line you have been waiting for.  To give you a little background on OSEA, their “anti-aging skincare was inspired off the coast of Malibu, with the idea of uniting the elements—Ocean, Sun, Earth and Atmosphere–to refresh, rejuvenate, and restore skin to its highest level of healthy beauty”.

OSEA, made with certified organic seaweed,  features  marine-based products that are packed with vitimins, minerals and essential fatty acids taken from the earth and sea. OSEA‘s organic skincare line consists of anti-aging serums, algae masks and moisturizers, in addition to organic body lotion, algae oil, and body scrubs.

I have used OSEA skincare in the past and I had so much sucess with Backnea that I have added two more products to my OSEA Skincare Collection and  OSEA White Algae Mask is one of them.  This is a  fabulous mask which,  if  used 2 to 3 times a week, will brighten, tighten and hydrate your skin.  Try applying the mask and leaving it on overnight for added brightening and tightening. The mask is like a thin silky fast drying claywhich easily rinse soff (a very important fact to know when selecting a face mask).  OSEA White Alge Mask is especially helpful in calming irritations or for those sensitive skin or Rosacea sufferers.   Your skin will truly benifit from the unique combination of  calcium rich white algea, Copper, Manganese and Zinc Peptides, White Wine Extracts and White Tea.

One of my favorite OSEA Skincare products is the Salts of the Earth Scrub. Salts of the Earth Scrub can be used on your entire body, helping to soften, heal and rehydrate dry skin. “Certified Organic botanical oils and aromatic mineral salts plump up the skin, enticing it to soak up nutrients and look more youthful“.

Salts of the Earth Scrub has done wonders for my hands especially when I am not using gloves while gardening. All my hands need is a little bit of Salts of the Earth Scrub and my hands are back to looking soft, polished and healthy. Treat your skin to the goodness of the sea with OSEA.http://www.oseamalibu.com/

The Road to Great Skincare is Celadon Road

Unknown-3

“The Path to a Greener Life”, that’s the motto for Celadon Road, an exclusive brand of eco-friendly household and personal care items which markets it’s products through its network of Independent Consultants.

Celedon Road  is dedicated to promoting greener, healthier and more socially responsible living by offering their customers a complete line of high quality organic and natural finds.

Celdon Road also offers an extensive line of skincare products meeting each individual’s skincare needs.

I started my Celadon Road experience with their Exfoliating Grapefruit Scrub which is very gentle and non abrasive. It is a mildly fragrant  scrub which gently cleanses and exfoliates your skin leaving you feeling refreshed. Exfoliating Grapefruit Scrub is suitable for all skin types which makes it the perfect facial scrub.

Are you troubled by sensitive skin? If so, I suggest Celadon Road Clearly Lemon Moisturizer (photo). You will love the feel and aroma of this moisturizer as it calms and smooths the many irritations associated with sensitive skin. Clearly Lemon Moisturizer contains natural antioxidants along with Ayurvedic herbs formulated to calm sensitive skin.

If you like to use serums as much as I do, Pink Grapefruit and Vitamin C Serum is an exceptional one. This remarkable serum is very light,  and is perfect for oil-prone skin. All you need to do is spread a thin layer over your face and neck after cleansing and you will feel the pleasant effects of the serum almost immediately. The serum smells great too!

As I Browse through Celadon Road’s Catalogue, I am amazed at the selection of skincare products. You will find Cleansers, Moisturizers, Toners, Anti-Age Serums, Gel Masques, Men’s products, and so much more. The catalogue is definitely worth viewing. It is important to know that Celadon Road’s beauty line is made using Certified Organic plant oils, botanical and essential oils.

Hair Designer Kerry Warn used John Frieda Products to Create Signature lokks For The GREAT GATSBY

0-67

Los Angeles, CA, January, 2012–Hair Designer Kerry Warn used John Freida products to create the signature looks for the cast and hundreds of extras for Baz Lurhmann’s highly anticipated big screen adaption of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby. The uniquely imaginative, Oscar nominated filmmaker (Moulin Rouge) will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role.

Unknown-58

Working with Luhrmann, as well as Catherine Martin, the two-time Academy Award-winning production and costume designer (Moulin Rouge), Warn designed hairstyles for the film inspired by the looks of the Jazz Age but with a contemporary twist. “The ’20’s have been done so beautifully in so many films” says the hair designer, whose credits include such films as Nine, Australia, The Golden Compass and the forthcoming Grace of Monaco. “After discussions we decided to keep a modern twist, that we’d do our own interpretation of the ’20’s.”  This interpretation of Baz Luhrmann‘s was based in research and references from the period and direct descriptions from the novel but has incorporated a modern-day aesthetic.

Unknown-57

 

For the female cast, including Carey Mulligan, who stars as Daisy Buchanan, Warn updated the classic bob, which was the defining look of the era. Warn gave Mulligan’s fringe a softness, updating it from the maor familiar 1920’s Louise Brooks fringe. But for the party scene, Warn and his team of hairstylists were required to style up to 300 female extras. Many of whom had long hair which was then styled into finger waves, with the help of John Frieda Frizz-ease Curl Controller Corrective Styling Gel. “the girls could dance-and they were brilliant dancers-even do cartwheels, and their hair wasn’t going anywhere.”

 

One of the additional challenges Warn faced was desigining styless that would hold up i 3D. “With 3D you have to be careful about stray hairs”. What got him through the 3D experience? ” I was able to control the look with John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Hairspray. It was a really good standby!”
