Weekly Must-Have:
Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Tinted Treatment Moisturizer

May 17, 2012  /  Comments (8)

Amore Pacific’s Moisture Bound range has long been a favorite. It keeps my skin hydrated (thanks to bamboo sap and hyaluronic acid spheres) and my face glowing. When I learned of the recent launch of their tinted moisturizer - the coveted moisture bound cream with a hint of color – I had high expectations. Someone once told me that expectations are premeditated resentments (wrap your head around that one!), and why’ll I usually agree, in this case, the new Moisture Bound Tinted Treatment Moisturizer is everything I could have asked for… and then some (it even has skin protection of SPF 15)!

It’s no secret …

Weekly Must-Have:
Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal

March 8, 2012  /  Comments (4)

As the name suggest, the Miracle Skin Transformer is kind of a, well, miracle concealer. I like to think of it as my skin’s new happy pills because, without it, my complexion would be seriously depressed. Allow me to tell of my skin woes as of late. I recently discovered that I have a herniated disc in my cervical spine and, as expected, I’ve been in tremendous pain. After weeks of trying to treat it in an alternative style (lots of flaxseed oil that, by the way, made my skin and eyes appear glowing!), I finally succumbed and went to the doctor. He put …

Sometimes a product comes along and you think to yourself, “Self, how did I manage to live 20 + 10 + ? years of my life without this?”. Yes, I am known to have a conversation – or two – with myself from time to time. Living in today’s world with sleep deprivation (all you mommy;s out there), late nights and parties (all you club rats out there) and just the everyday environmental toxins that pollute our bodies, our skin is bound to show signs of wear and tear. Think of it like this, if you’re stressed, so, too, is your skin. And with stressed, …

While genetics play a significant role in our mane DNA, science can pick up where nature left off. That means starting at the root of the problem: the scalp.  “By caring for the scalp, we optimize the underlying nerve circuit, closely connected to our face, to draw more keratin to the area, actually keeping our face younger(!) and relieving our kidneys and liver of excess toxins that are allowed out of our bodies through our growing hair,” says Phylia de M. co-owner, Kazu Namise. Pyhlia de M. is the brainchild of Kidada Jones (daughter of music legend, Quincy) and Kazu. The newly launched, 3-product hair care …

Dr. Jart BB Cream

December 6, 2011  /  Comments (4)

Where have I been? Clearly, not in Asia where the women have already unlocked the secret to a near-perfect complexion. I’ve been hearing buzz about BB creams stateside for some time now — from blogs to glossies, everyone’s lusting over the first American import, Dr. Jart BB Cream, currently available in Water Fuse (oil-free) SPF 25 and Premium SPF 45.  Shamefully, I only recently tried it (bad me!)… but, now I can say without a doubt that this is the best new face product on the market. There you have it.

BB stands for Blemish Base but somehow, in it’s journey to the USA, …
