Natural Beauty Brand Product Review: Earth tu Face

At a beauty tradeshow, I had the opportunity to learn about an interesting brand called Earth tu Face, a plant-based, organic, 100% natural skin care line, which is free of toxins and synthetic compounds. The brand was founded by two herbalists in 2010 and every ingredient included within the products has been chosen for a specific therapeutic reason. This is so important, because as I … Continue reading Natural Beauty Brand Product Review: Earth tu Face

I recently found the bag of products while cleaning, and Stewart & Claire lip balms were the first products I tried. The brand’s co-founder Kristin Donnelly, developed … Continue reading Natural Beauty Brand Product Review: Stewart & Claire

Last week, I went apricot picking. OK, the apricots weren’t real, and I didn’t actually get to pick the apricots off, but it was still a lot of fun.

The store opened up on June 16th and … Continue reading NYC: Visit the St. Ives Mixing Bar

A visit to Blushington & The Peel Bar by BeautyRx

A few months ago, I treated my sister to a chemical peel for her birthday. I wanted to take her a place where she could get it done quickly and inexpensively, but still feel pampered and girly. I discovered a little talked about gem in the city, Blushington Makeup & Beauty Lounge. Tucked inside the Le Parker Meridien Hotel, the lounge is a beauty lover’s … Continue reading A visit to Blushington & The Peel Bar by BeautyRx

There are a number of products featuring gold, and while the jury is still out on gold’s true effectiveness on skincare, this is one trend in beauty that allows you to feel … Continue reading Product Review: ALLEGRESSE Illuminating Facial Peel
