I am true blue. True blue under the eyes so I need all the help I can get. I've been using this for about 5 days and in the a.m. it does the job. I really like that it glides on smoothly. Might be my favorite thing about it. But then I find out that it has 7 anti-aging therapies in it. Jackpot!

It's lovely after the shower.

Clarisonic cleaned up at FNO

Clarisonic cleansed and infused its way backstage at this year’s Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week Spring 2011! Both the Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System and the Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System were used on the models by celebrity aesthetician Eileen Harcourt to prep their skin for VPL on September 12th and Chris Benz on September 13th.

A thorough cleansing is the first step in any skincare routine, and Eileen says she wouldn’t even recommend applying moisturizer to the face unless it had a sonic cleansing first. Models that were “in the know” came early to both the VPL and Chris Benz shows to experience a rare chance to relax.

Eileen used the Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System (left) to remove any makeup the models had on prior to the show (it cleans makeup 6x better than manual cleansing) as well as to fully cleanse the facial palette before using the Opal Sonic Infusion System and applying moisturizers.

She then used the Opal around the eyes to provide a quick “wake up call,” since it tightens the skin with the same sonic technology as in the Mia. It was also used around the lips to tighten and brighten as well. The Opal Sonic Infusion System is ideal because it’s compact and offers a “clean application” of serum.

Applying makeup is easier and looks better after using the Clarisonic Mia because the foundation is much cleaner than normal. Models were able to achieve each show’s signature look with fresh skin before makeup application.

The Clarisonic Mia Sonic Skin Cleansing System ($149) and the Opal Sonic Infusion System ($245) are both available at Sephora and www.sephora.com or at www.clarisonic.com.

On a related note-- I have really bad allergies. In addition to my netti pot (gross, but effective), I rely on my Clarisonic to break up congestion while I clean. Sounds ridiculous, right? The Opal, in addition to fixing the eye-area, also eases sinus pressure. It's not a primary function, but great relief this time of year!

Amika~Ceramic Styler with 1.25" Floating Plates

When I saw the box from afar, I felt my heart skip a beat and my pulse take off on a race with my brain. I told myself to relax, to come back to reality. But as I walked closer toward my gorgeous Brainy Beauty Blog creator Kate, my heaven-sent gift-er I mean..assignment came into focus. It was an Amika Hair Styler. I knew the seriousness of this blogging gig was about to reach an intense level. I mean, come on! It's AMIKA and it's PINK SNAKE SKIN! It was love at first sight.


My Amika Styler has 2, 100% ceramic plates (many straightening irons boast the same, but really only offer a very thin, ceramic coating). Real ceramic plates do significantly less damage to your hair cuticle-an extremely nice feature if you are a heat-style junkie, like myself. In fact, Amika even goes as far as to report that regular use of this styler results in healthier hair!! I am so smitten that I will believe anything they tell me at this point.

Just as I had dreamed-er, I mean...hoped, when used as a straightening iron, my Amika Styler gave me  super shiny, soft, frizz-free straight hair. Using it to wave or curl my mop created soft, touchable locks in a soft, natural shape.

 My new obsession-er, I mean...Amika boasts the following features and benefits to their Stylers:

* 100% ceramic plates
*infrared and negative-ion technology  
*ultra-light weight and intuitive design
*ready to use in 10 seconds
*superior professional hair styling at home

My pink snake skin Amika Styler and I are doing swell. We're getting along great, I always look forward to waking up to my Styler every morning, and it really does make every day start off right. I'm taking good care of my Styler and we're looking forward to living happily ever after together!

Brow Bar gives tips!

We are honored to present Brow Tips from the brilliant brow-ticians at the Boom Boom Brow Bar:

BROWS ARE SISTERS, NOT TWINS! Brows should be proportionate and

similar, compliment one another and frame the face – they do not need to be

identical!

Most people remove the hair on the brow bone before the arch to try to create an

arch, but that’s a big mistake, it creates the dreaded RAINBOW BROW!

The Basics: Brows should not be too far apart in the center, too thin on the brow

bone before the arch, or too short, length-wise.

When tweezing at home, draw on the ultimate brow with a white pencil and then

with a clean pair of sharp tweezers, pluck out anything on and below the line -

remove the liner and you should have brows with a clean line that are not over-

tweezed.

Always fill in brows with powder to camouflage bare spots, imperfections and

lack of growth, it’s more natural looking than pencil.

Sparkle on FNO!

Fashion’s Night Out on September 10, 2010: Be at Barney’s New York from 6-10 pm with fashion manicurist Deborah Lippmann.
