New Top Tier Spring Beauty & Fragrance Releases

TIME TO SHINE! Yes it's time to shake off the stark dullness of winter and bloom with a fresh spring glow-up.  These exceptional beauty treats and perfumes will have you up and glowing in no time.  Here we go:

 

Korean Glass Skin in an Instant

Run, don't walk to your nearest beauty counter or better yet, Amazon and order a tube of Madeca Cream. Practically overnight you will notice a smoother, more taunt complexion that reflects light like a mirror. Very moisturizing and soothing, fragrance free too.  It's one of the few creams I can use with my Retin A Rx which often makes my skin more sensitive. 

 

 

 

NATU Botanicals for a Fresh Start

What I like most about this collection is it's minimalist packaging and pure time-tested ingredients. Take for example their rice and honey based Facial Cleanser.  More of a scrub but still very pampering and gentle.  Two more hits include their bar shampoo and conditioner. These work and travel well as they are non-liquids. Their Daily Natural Sunscreen is also good but a little heavy so I'd recommend using it on your body and something lighter like La Roche-Posay 60 SPF Anthelios Melt-In-Milk Sunscreen. www.natubotanicals.com 

 

 

 

Eyes & Lips Take Center Stage

First off, you need a fresh mascara.  Try a luxury upgrade from Lancome. Their Flutter Extension Mascara offers fullness and lengthening combined.

Next are your lips.  Lighter, more natural shades that highlight, smooth glossy plumpness are what you're looking for. Flavored lip glosses like the Cinnamon Bun from Victoria's Secret are just plain delicious!

Mary & May Blooming Glow Lip is a Korean formulation that offers beautifully sheer pigments with a high gloss sheen but no shimmer.  A vegan lipstick that delivers vivid color and a glassy shine.

 

Saltair Santal Bloom Shimmering Body Oil

It's hard to describe the beautiful glow this body oil leaves on freshly bathed, moist skin.  It really is the chef's kiss of your bath and spa time as it is loaded with nut oils to pamper the skin.  The Santal Bloom fragrance is subtle, warm and inviting and works well to anchor layered fragrances. Made in the USA.  www.saltair.com

ARABIA - The Middle East Meets Western Aesthetics

If you are familiar with and love fragrances such as Baccarat and Baccarat Rouge, then your are going to adore these pure perfumes and perfume oils from Saudi Arabia. These are not the heavy, dated oud-based perfumes often associated with scents from the region.  These are more delicate and refined with notes of jasmine and amberwood yet elevated to a world class level. The packaging is as exquisite as what's inside!
