These Are a Few of My Favorite Things








Bvlgari Omnia Green Jade

A crisp, floral, green scent, with notes of Spring Water, Green Mandarin, White Peony, Nasturtium, Pear Tree Flower, Jasmine Petals, Fresh Pistachio, White Woods, Musk.




Summer is approaching rapidly...my favorite beauty products right now are all about looking fresh, light, not heavy, not a lot of maintenance and natural- Too start off, I just smelled the new Bvlgari fragrance...love it, clean and feminine...not overbearing or too much, just perfect for warm days and cool summer nights!








Darphin Skin Bronze Self Tanning Face Tinted gel for the face($50). Put it on at night before bed, and wake up honestly feeling like you just took a mini vacation to Hawaii in all of 8 hours. It goes on evenly, makes you glow all day, and makes your skin looking bronzed and sun-kissed, at no cost of wrinkles. It has lots of vitamin E in it, skin really feels ultra moisturized and fuller the next day. (Available at Neimans or Sephora). I recommend this tanner to everyone, I really think it is the best out there, and since you only need a tiny pea size, it is so worth the extra $$!




Cover Girl's new lip stain pen: I was wandering down the aisles of Walgreen's the other day in hopes of a fun little pick-me up color to throw in the basket, and thought I'd try this colorful pen lipstick (something different than the usual glosses) and I love it! It stays on for longer than the usual 10 minutes, it's pen applicator makes it easy to define lips- put some gloss over it, or wear it alone, and with your faux-tan, little mascara(am really into MAC's Zoom Lash) and maybe a little Nars shimmer powder in Sertao on the upper cheeks, and you are good to go for a low-maintenance, yet chic look. (However, do buy a shade lighter than the one you picked up, they can be very colorful if you are not used to lots of brights on your pout).







My favorite skin care line right now (and has been now for about a year) Kate Somerville. Kate is Los Angeles' first medi-spa ever. She has treatments that are supposed to look like you just had a face-lift, The Titan, a lift that uses hot and cold lasers to tighten and boost sagging spots (chin, arms, stomach, neck) in just two hours. Her services, and products don't come cheap by any means, the Titan runs a cool $2,000. However, you can achieve a daily routine with her cleansers, $20, ExfoliKate $85, Micro Glycolic Polisher $90, Total Vitamin Antioxidant Face Serum, $65. She has a couple different lines to match your skin type- But a universal product of hers for everyone is the ExfoliKate- This exfoliant is better than any other I've tried- I feel like my skin has just shed that unwanted, dull layer, and looks immediately fresher and squeaky clean. Now we too can get that Hollywood looking skin that has fans like Kirsten Dunst, Jessica Alba and Debra Messing knocking at her door. Check her out at http://www.katesomerville.com/ or if you happen to be in the LA area, 8428 Melrose Place, between Orlando Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard, suites E and F, West Hollywood (323-655-7546
