Laura Mercier Flawless Face Kit

June 15th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Beauty

Laura Mercier is known for creating a flawless face so a few years ago, I went out and purchased tinted moisturizer, Secret Camouflage, loose powder and a Secret Camouflage brush as recommended by a Laura Mercier SA. I don’t think they had a kit available then so I had to buy each piece individually. These four pieces cost me $130+ back then so imagine my surprise when I discovered the Laura Mercier Flawless Face Kit, a $160 value for only $65.

There are eight must have make up and tools needed to create a flawless face. Available exclusively at Sephora, each bag contains a 1.0 oz Foundation Primer (Step 1), a 1.0 oz Tinted Moisturizer (Step 2), a 0.21 oz Undercover Pot (Step 3 and 4), a Secret Camouflage Brush, a Camouflage Powder Brush, a Velour Puff, and an egg-shaped Sponge. I wish they had this convenient kit back then! Well, of course, now I’ll be getting my own kit too.

Sephora Sun Safety Kit

May 14th, 2008 | 6 Comments | Posted in Beauty


We’re expecting really high temperatures in Los Angeles for the next few days so I’m gearing up for intense sun exposure with this Sun Safety Kit from Sephora. I already use Clarins UV Plus SPF 40 and Sun Wrinkle Control Cream SPF 30 daily but I wanted to try other sun protection products this year.

Sephora’s Sun Safety Kit contains travel sizes of their best summer skincare products and comes in a limited-edition Sephora pouch and includes the following:

  • 0.05 oz Korres Natural Products Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream SPF 30
  • 0.25 oz Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Defense Moisture Lotion SPF 30
  • 1 oz DDF Daily Protective Moisturizer SPF 15
  • 0.35 oz Cosmedicine Medi-Matte Oil Control Lotion SPF 20
  • 0.17 oz Juice Beauty Green Apple Moisturizer SPF 15
  • 1 oz Murad Firming Bronzer SPF 15
  • 0.08 oz Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 55 PA + + +
  • six single-use packs of MD Skincare Powerful Sun Protection Pads SPF 30
  • 0.17 oz Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Cream Ultra Protection SPF 30
  • 0.25 oz Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer SPF 15
  • 0.098 oz Tarte 24/7 Lip Sheer SPF 15
  • a UV indicator card

OK, they’re sample sizes so why don’t I just wait to get them as free gifts with purchase right? Here’s why: The kit is $25 (valued at $87) and 100 percent of the net profits (that’s $21.55 from every kit sold) will benefit The Skin Cancer Foundation. Sephora will make a total donation of up to $430,000 before 12/31/08. Supplies of the kit are limited and will be available from April through June 2008 or while supplies last.

So while I’m protecting my skin from the sun, I’m helping a worthy cause as well. Sounds good? Go get your Sun Safety Kit too!

Bond No. 9 Rocks for Mother’s Day

April 19th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Fragrances

Bond No. 9 and Swarovski, innovators in the field of perfume and cut crystal, team up to create Bond No. 9 Swarovski Stars in bestselling Bryant Park, Bleecker Street and Nuits de Noho scents. These three blinged out Bond No. 9 scents sparkle with thousands of Swarovski crystals, so tiny that they shimmer and gleam as one. Bond No. 9 Swarovski Stars Limited-Edition Collectibles will arrive in May, just in time for Mother’s Day.

And for moms on the go — from soccer to socialite — Bond No. 9 offers Swarovski Stars Bon Bons, a chic collection of all three scents plus Eau de New York in crystallized 6ml purse-sprays.

In a word: Brilliant!

Call Shawn at (877) 273-3369 to order. Email me on how to get 15% off and free shipping!

From the press release:
Bond No. 9’s three beloved fragrances, Bryant Park, Bleecker Street and Nuits de Noho, will now be available housed in 50ml bottles completely crystallized, like a second skin, with thousands of Swarovski crystals so tiny that together they shimmer and gleam as one. Instead of the classic bottle designs, these Swarovski Stars are covered in one single hue either pink, green or blue. Somehow, the effect manages to be sleek, fun and a bit tabula rasa all at the same time. 50ml for $650

And for the fragrance chameleon, Bond No. 9 offers Swarovski Stars Bon Bons, a collection of all three scents in crystallized 6ml purse-spray sizes (plus Eau de New York in white!). $700

At Bond No. 9 boutiques, 877-273-3369, www.bondno9.com, www.saks.com and Saks Fifth Avenue nationwide.
