The Road to Great Skincare is Celadon Road

Posted on: May 13th, 2013

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. I had the pleasure of trying some of Celadon Road Skincare and was pleasantly surprised with the line. Celadon Road skincare is made using Certified Organic plant oils, botanicals and essential oils. 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

Posted on: May 10th, 2013

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!”

My Mom’s birthday is always one week before Mother’s Day. This year, she asked for assorted body lotions from her favorite store, Bath & Body Works. It is so much fun browsing through Bath & body Works, and after selecting the body lotions in my mom’s favorite scents, I decided to shake things up a bit and present her with a variety of scents and a variety of goodies for Mother’s Day.

I found the perfect gift, the  ultimate accessory! The V.I.P. Tote, an 8 piece gift set loaded with products featuring Bath & Body Works new “Let’s Go To Italy Collection”. The best part about this gift was with a a $40.00 purchase the V.I.P. Tote was mine for only $20.00.  The V.I.P. Tote is valued at over $115.00. WOW! I could not believe it, what a steal!  I was able to walk out of Bath & Body Works with my Mom’s Birthday Gift and Mother’s Day gift in hand! What a great shopping day and at a tremendous savings.

My mom will love the Tote to. It is a light beige shimmery cotton twill with faux leather trim. The tote is quite stylish too!  The tote is filled with a delightful assortment of Bath & Body Works favorites:

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift From L’Occitane

Posted on: May 8th, 2013

P-3.aspx

L’Occitane has become one of my favorite beauty lines, offing amazing skincare products as well as a multitude of the most captivating fragrances. There is a new fragrance, one that immediately appealed to me called Vanille & Narcisse which is one of the featured fragrances from La Collection de Grasse. The fragrance carries  a delicate warm scent of vanilla floral and it immediately reminded me of a fragrance my mother used to wear years ago, a fragrance that I loved and still do.

La Collection de Grasse, inspired by the City of Grasse in Provence is known by many to be the  fragrance capital of the world, a place where delicate ingredients are gathered and the most beautiful perfumes are created. This exquisite collection was created by the founder of L’Occitane, Olivier Baussan and perfumer Karine Dubreuil.

L’Occitane describes the Narcisse Vanille so well,“ A warm, intoxicating fragrance, the Vanille & Narcisse Eau de Toilette is discreet at first, the scent of narcissus swells to reveal a bouquet of white flowers and spicy heart accords. Rich and radiant vanilla blends with the wilder, untamed notes of narcissus to give it its spirit. ”

I found Vanille Narcisse to be delicate and sweet. I sensed mostly vanilla and a sweet floral but the fragrance does have notes of  blackcurrant, bergamot, narcissus, gardenia, vanilla and tonka bean. It is truly an intoxicating fragrance, and if you enjoy vanilla scents you will adore this fragrance.

L’Occitane Vanille Narcisse is the perfect gift, the perfect fragrance for the perfect lady in your life this Mother’s Day.

The set includes: Vanille & Narcisse eau de toilette 2.5 fl.oz, Vanille & Narcisse body milk 5.9 fl.oz and Vanille & Narcisse shower gel 5.9 fl.oz  usa.loccitane.com
