The collaboration is a match made in heaven, with Greenâs obsession with eye-popping color complimenting Bloomâs high quality, pigment-packed formulation.<br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyc21ft5Z96HadFjV5GzgiwV3JgFcfgzNe5zdoXxVq4hXnpbl41ETn6SDvi6njdGj6-pdG8B7AgeIFbNvAfOmnRS-taYGjn9-5TNTtqOyjHyrO7pxdk8vk-UsYMQ3R2tuAS9SQG7xjUzxX/s1600/EG_brightmelon%255B1%255D.jpg" height="400" width="226" />The Melbourne-based designerâs rainbow-colored beaded necklaces have become a cult classic, adorning the necks of stylish women everywhere and never failing to bring a smile to our lips with their unusual and unexpected color combinations.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirLaXmROMrCzgcc-K0bYJC2V0TdWO3U1oLGEOtdE0VgJkRDyyIBK2AiVHS7ZUBu8hQ92nrJtG-mbTd2wC8bTeqPgCBjAJwUFuepMFDws-FGfaM009ZZczlN3suby5TuO2zLeb5ZycevEml/s1600/EG_darkbluegrey%255B1%255D.jpg" height="400" width="222" />The inspiration for the set of designer collection Nail Polish shades sparked from a limited edition piece Green designed exclusively for Bloom, featuring seven unique colored beads. Narrowing the designer collection shades down to the usual two colors created by past collaborators was just so heart breakingly difficult that we had to create all seven â" one for every day of the week!<br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjsHm0xlqfwzbS1VUMcYQ3SSWCmmEKCCLzs7H3saiWoL4QtGopnXJscpHEKxnEeao34E4HC63ioi1Y8W0hU6o0SZW1n-JfXBxtziz2OcBZiGgqxud9phCbz8nirJ_1lxH99nqoQp7MnKzn/s1600/EG_multisparkle%255B1%255D.jpg" height="400" width="213" />âI have always loved and admired Bloom Cosmetics particularly for their beautiful polishes and graphics, and when Natalie approached me to collaborate on this range I was very flattered and excited! Creating a range of nail polish colours has been a bit of a dream come true.The seven colours are a mix of my favourite summer brights â" a pale mint, bright melon and ochre â" as well as a pale grey, dark blue grey and navy to balance the palette. Oh, and I couldnât resist throwing a multi-sparkle into the mix for a bit of razzle-dazzle! The collection was designed to allow the wearer to come up with their own colour pairings and to be combined and layered in your own crazy nail art designs. I hope you have fun playing with them!!â â" Emily Green <br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFaoRJy-AxA-rhQnSFuajq1ZMYkga078-qhIyhOMFtqIzTIZxQtvGvBQI2GOdi-eg9m2S-qGaGF7jj9dge6muLPb80Q1t4j7o8ClqnNbXTx1tFdk6DeuveDQUVNNYL4Nx-zozraqjTNy1S/s1600/EG_ochre%255B1%255D.jpg" height="400" width="227" />To celebrate the launch of the Emily Green designer collection, we have three limited edition âBloomâ necklaces by Emily Green to giveaway.<br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZSH39dyCdPaFezeI5jZTzBmG7iEf4N_YjbEQ_TnLeszv3H4_xiwHlqTFwXPLxNqtt5evr9qaKIL6k0tro8AUVRs3yyNdEh1grwaHpsPDh5243aQ-ELiGlYq9DiMokFfULSZvhBMyqqbOK/s1600/EG_palegrey%255B1%255D.jpg" height="400" width="208" />To win this wearable artwork, all you have to do is; follow bloom cosmetics on instagram, re-gram our Emily Green instagram post with the hash tag #bloomlovesemilygreen, @bloomcosmetics and comment which Emily Green shade you fancy the most.

This new field for Louis Vuitton is an expression of poetry, modernity and sophistication; it is a celebration of the House's unique heritage, which binds it to the art of writing through its founders, renowned customers, traveling authors who embarking on long voyages, enjoyed the emblematic travel goods. <br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia60OlXdEKEpjrju04QJ4kWskWxvPFytc6FCBhhMsNT488hcpIEtmjLAYp2OrOvIdwmNuB3q_lzijrml9kytdVRQnU4g4o7ilNU9Br49eIggI0zCwXI8jPu_3ntUw0HTjsW0N3WmmGDvdK/s1600/Louis+Vuitton+opens+pop-up+writing+store.jpg" height="414" width="640" /><br />Louis Vuitton has always been known for sheer elegance and sophistication, with a hint of boldness, something that cannot be fully derived from other brands. But it was only a matter of time before the designer had transformed its same style etiquette to pen and paper in the form of writing letters. <br /><br />On December 13, LV debuted the new collection of paper products and writing instruments at 6 Place Saint-Germain-des-Pres called Le Cabinet dâEcriture, a temporary boutique in France. The luxury letter writing collection will feature a range of pens, pencils, notebooks and other paper products all inspired by literary icons like 17th-century French novelists.

Its takes insight, determination and an abundance of beauty business savvy to bring this high end brand into Australia, the key to all of this is Katherine Simpson, founder of Groom Spas here in Victoria. Simpson's retail concept stores are starting to grab some top Retail Design Awards for 2012 in Melbourne (go and take a look) Katherine Simpson is making Australia wake up and change.<br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRRrcGC2QrviuLuIm2CqgjQCGxi54k_FZvT2PuzyXmt3i-HUApx-q1x6jjgjm4nzB4vtXHxZYQQxGCnTof3haYdfukCKHukD3pt-cuaguGQ0m-D-Fho14MiApctsXtcGOM-UKZGvHJEiUT/s1600/_groomspa2.jpg" height="426" width="640" />This is the first Signature ESPA facial I have had, and the first time I truly got up from the treatment bed feeling re-energized. This is different from just being relaxed, I could go back to work, my head felt clear, tones of energy very different from the feeling a facial can give where you just want to go home and continue to sleep.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV-0LTxWYL3W3ZTZNC35TARvOM05c_xzj8C2XN6rOB8j3mFExRb5lmwtIqMvWOAAUdAWHswvV_Wbll8mn3BoEJV34YONRRa-ulcYT1SpnbXxoZYqtAZualtmwhi0Fn54qhtYF9pbk_2z2g/s1600/ESPA_LifestyleMen.jpg" height="640" width="456" />For any business women this is the way to get re charged, have your skin glowing and walk into Spring Street with a confident stride, and lucky enough there is a hair salon within GROOM so you can have wash and blow dry before that all important conference. <br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoTbAh-E_peDOpmGVekD7rceX9eIfi8SpZV_bYpTZubRCIai18RG9HSxZZsaPbub7kr9-BawpK0lXt8Fruz4RqJdRfMAMchrTncydTEdgx_yAGTDThs0OADg8qibxmyoOLHWQKcB-gyojv/s1600/x71591_9.jpeg" height="640" width="638" /><br />There are a few areas of the protocol I felt were outstanding, first this may sound strange but at GROOM they do not try to destroy your hair in a facial with a blood stopping head band, ESPA believes that the head should be free and not constricted, the facial movements do not disturb the hair. The second cleanse uses Nourishing Cleansing Balm where a pea size amount of Refining Skin Polish is added, the skin polish has crushed sea shells in the exfoliation, to remove the product the therapist uses very soft mitts that cover her hands, throughout the removal you will not realize that her hands have never left your skin. Ask your ESPA therapist to show you this continuity movement, its very well thought through. <br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMnJYDhQ_rAKRrgMfcCY594QrIqAEvDJiWDsGmzPFhtwL_cFWfv_heeDfoyivPUtR4aoeyGnTGMwcpCJT8o1r7zCTYpao4IoWAFbe1tMf4Y-8OrG4N_SnmWqbInjAt0T5ZmYw4kiY9SfVE/s1600/_MG_6788.jpg" height="640" width="426" /><br />Facial massage movements combine three techniques Swedish, pressure point and lymphatic drainage, all working to remove toxins and calm down the skin, my skin was so cool looking and it stayed that way for 24 hours. So now onto ESPA products, once on your skin they continue to work for 24 hours. that single point is an outstanding performance from a treatment line. <br /><br />The best facial in Melbourne has to be at GROOM Spa, ESPA Personalized Facial 60 minutes $135.00 an unreal price in todayâs high end performance treatments, you will not be disappointed. GROOM spa therapists are so happy and motivated in their jobs, the venue is going to incorporate a full event space with catering kitchen. Add all of that up and a view over Fitzroy Gardens, and Katherine Simpson an absolute Melbourne delight.

The finished effect is unlike any other, giving an indulgent velvety coat to your manicure. A two-step innovative nail art kit to create sumptuous, velvet-coated nails.Leading the way in nail art innovation, the latest kit from cult British nail brand Ciaté® brings decadent luxury to your fingertips. Featuring luxurious crushed velvet, this kit was inspired by excessive layering of exuberant textures, which was featured in fashion shows around the globe. The result? A truly unique, sophisticated, strokeable finish.<br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTzigMDnTRbud0y_A-VEyPZBcOHuUKyj4aRrYO9OM5HsXY-budDwi_uMtARWxcCDDgTgJ5YgOlQz5ZiwkRD8k5qaPlwPwwPZCACoOY1ZbuwJZPAinbGUVLJEZIvaEH9emUv5cTCvMOK_y5/s1600/ciate_velvet_image.jpg" height="640" width="498" /><br />As can be expected with Ciaté nail polishes kit does not disappoint. The most standout color from the ads color is Crushed Velvet a plum purple The crushed velvet is easy to apply and the container is a shaker style dispenser. Tap the bottle first with your finger to dispense it, this will be better than shaking it. If this is your first time to try you may have to experiment to see what works best in your hand, try starting on one side of your finger and rolling it slowly from one side to the other this may help to get the 100% coverage of the crushed velvet you need.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8BbP9sMoypAzTT3XuLVSNhLqdeKVGjJRuR02-NssLM2AsbDJp6FBcA-cGR39RjAvPS3wOFQvo-iHESdY0SjLvMNYmdfocLXbAntUjlN2yXiIpK5eFUTHj5JUIcK9yVmNf6lq6KxsN4ZIw/s1600/ciate_velvet_kit.jpg" height="640" width="640" />After applying one coat of polish to each nail, allow to set and then if you have used the caviar beads before, apply a second coat of polish and then apply the crushed velvet, doing one nail at a time. You may find that the crushed velvet gets everywhere so after applying the crushed velvet, use the little brush to clean up around the nails, fingers anywhere the crushed velvet may have dropped. However do NOT brush over your nails, then allow to set for about 20 minute, some users like to the let nails dry for double this time. <br /><br />The set contains: <br />- 0.45 oz Paint Pot Nail Polish<br />- Crushed Velvet Powder<br />- Little Black Brush<br />- Clear plastic tray<br /><br />What it is formulated WITHOUT:<br />- Parabens<br />- Sulfates<br />- Synthetic Fragrances<br />- Synthetic Dyes<br />- Petrochemicals<br />- Phthalates<br />- GMOs<br />- Triclosan IMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08595046954416297643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92951980080896682.post-86001434435381127832012-12-18T05:34:00.005-08:002012-12-18T05:34:28.077-08:00Give the gift that keeps on giving with Oscar and Anna<strong>Give the gift that keeps on giving with Oscar and Anna</strong><br/><br/>As the holiday season kicks into full swing, you may still be left in the dark as to what to put under the tree for the special people in your life.

I am using good skincare, at the same time being aware of what is in each product, so why does it look so flat, and uninteresting. You can change all of that, like I did with a trip to a Dermalogica Beauty Bar in David Jones to have a five minute info fix called Face Mapping. What can you learn from Face Mapping? well like I did you can learn that the products you have, you may not be using correctly.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKlyTJ0aFmfcOb_cQjt7zVuLd4dEn-tMSGXCPUOb_mDteaOAOQSwvNBeUzgrINiGhnLOC5XZUUasGCFojoDHmAeqzXCmf7f-GP1GGNxZf4mldtIQVrYo2RnjxC5OlsMsoWNEju2rfwHwOU/s1600/face-mapping.jpg" height="300" width="640" />GPS with no wrong turnsWhen I sat down at the Dermalogica Beauty Bar to experience Face Mapping a technique that is unique to Dermalogica, you can have all of those howâs and why answered in literally five minutes. Dermalogica recommends that you keep your face mapping profile up to date, as the skin (which if very true) is changing all the time.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitvIpQbXyKtxPj1nwsC-K9Vzb1JEOO1hPONjYBwboQ33EOW-JbHkD8RYbIMBJcum0zmx1lhGPT-1Ih57smbLCwuPHiexYIjLuMitZdiD9Mh-wVobR82QXJdqD3XgG_q1nWOQnyzTx9rGff/s1600/Jane+new+headshot+1+May+09+LOREZ.jpg" height="424" width="640" />Jane Wurland founder and inspiration of DermalogicaI liked the Dermalogica Face Mapping, its quick itâs not just a light touch to the skin, it is an effective way whereby the face is divided into sections, and these sections reflect differences in texture, heat, tone and health of the skin. The Dermalogica therapist has a very sure sweeping action over each section as they read the results of what they are experiencing and visualizing through an LED headlamp. With each section you will get immediate feedback from the therapist on solutions.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6j3vII2KvlWo_vkrwV97k5rQAKZ43bDk3NKekZd5cveMme2EY0rh3Jrtv_KoEXs73zgTyeQe3fLQkgnaDERPHApMzQ7dOFtruPl3JHT_d6sTdeIi9ss0ELka69fbi0JhwMm927t-5wENl/s1600/BEUATY_0008_DERMALOGICA.jpg" height="176" width="640" />At a Dermalogica Beauty Bar you can everything for your skinAfter the face mapping we looked at product and I was able to practice using all the products that were recommended, from cleansing, toning, exfoliating, moisturizing, eye treatment and sun protection. The benefit of doing this is that the expert is in front of you, so if you are not applying the right pressure or too much pressure they can correct you, for me I had been using a product incorrectly.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZmCjarhC0d3A6DK6f8d-6kJdKNpyF-Vj-8dBFm2_gd1GiWJ7_LweKq5L0cll_jnT14jVq9Kw2NKyig6L6_V2rM1EZmrSy4UpLSdoyNvBFaM6bZnMaLjNsO2tps5CtVJ3mTe9Z_Vx0zpGH/s1600/L1020319.JPG" height="640" width="366" />Re-stock your products at Dermalogica Beauty BarsDermalogica daily microfoliant was a product I thought was too easy to use, and so I did not ask or read up how to use this properly. I was using it in the morning and then rinsing off in the shower, but I was not preparing the product correctly, by making a light paste in the palm of my hand first and then applying onto my skin. I was just placing the powder in my damp palm and then massaging over the skin, not getting the full benefits from this product.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiluTb6_vbdiu1TZRKWBNu59rEOaiTy1gjtgxfFMr5_xgV3g1YERzPIpaQvroiCuPzBXYAX6O4WfrlTv5C0tfeD-e9wdxUhZg48hOEkbZ03wesR0Z4nSnAjSLxUOPF8KvZzqAmUr1x6KHBN/s1600/L1020318.JPG" height="640" width="480" />The best place to talk and experience skincare Dermalogica Beauty BarAt the Dermalogica Beauty Bar, where you can get into training mode I learnt how to correct this mistake, then applied the product correctly to my skin and immediately saw the difference, this is a big benefit to meet your Dermalogica expert regularly so that you can experience the product the right way.<br />A Dermalogica Beauty Bar is more than just a skincare counter, in David Jones Melbourne there is also a dedicated Dermalogica facial room that will open after the new year. Replenish your products, or just sit down to experience a particular product after your face mapping which is complementary. <br />Kelly Salter Dermalogica's Public Relations andConsumer Marketing Co-ordinator reiterated while she was in Melbourne that with Dermalogica it is all about the customer experience, over the past few years we seem to have forgotten the joy that a great retail experience can offer, well its waiting for you at any Dermalogica Beauty Bar.

This is different from just being relaxed, I could go back to work, my head felt clear, tones of energy very different from the feeling a facial can give where you just want to go home and continue to sleep.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV-0LTxWYL3W3ZTZNC35TARvOM05c_xzj8C2XN6rOB8j3mFExRb5lmwtIqMvWOAAUdAWHswvV_Wbll8mn3BoEJV34YONRRa-ulcYT1SpnbXxoZYqtAZualtmwhi0Fn54qhtYF9pbk_2z2g/s1600/ESPA_LifestyleMen.jpg" height="640" width="456" />For any business women this is the way to get re charged, have your skin glowing and walk into Spring Street with a confident stride, and lucky enough there is a hair salon within GROOM so you can have wash and blow dry before that all important conference. <br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoTbAh-E_peDOpmGVekD7rceX9eIfi8SpZV_bYpTZubRCIai18RG9HSxZZsaPbub7kr9-BawpK0lXt8Fruz4RqJdRfMAMchrTncydTEdgx_yAGTDThs0OADg8qibxmyoOLHWQKcB-gyojv/s1600/x71591_9.jpeg" height="640" width="638" /><br />There are a few areas of the protocol I felt were outstanding, first this may sound strange but at GROOM they do not try to destroy your hair in a facial with a blood stopping head band, ESPA believes that the head should be free and not constricted, the facial movements do not disturb the hair. The second cleanse uses Nourishing Cleansing Balm where a pea size amount of Refining Skin Polish is added, the skin polish has crushed sea shells in the exfoliation, to remove the product the therapist uses very soft mitts that cover her hands, throughout the removal you will not realize that her hands have never left your skin. Ask your ESPA therapist to show you this continuity movement, its very well thought through. <br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMnJYDhQ_rAKRrgMfcCY594QrIqAEvDJiWDsGmzPFhtwL_cFWfv_heeDfoyivPUtR4aoeyGnTGMwcpCJT8o1r7zCTYpao4IoWAFbe1tMf4Y-8OrG4N_SnmWqbInjAt0T5ZmYw4kiY9SfVE/s1600/_MG_6788.jpg" height="640" width="426" /><br />Facial massage movements combine three techniques Swedish, pressure point and lymphatic drainage, all working to remove toxins and calm down the skin, my skin was so cool looking and it stayed that way for 24 hours. So now onto ESPA products, once on your skin they continue to work for 24 hours. that single point is an outstanding performance from a treatment line. <br /><br />The best facial in Melbourne has to be at GROOM Spa, ESPA Personalized Facial 60 minutes $135.00 an unreal price in todayâs high end performance treatments, you will not be disappointed. GROOM spa therapists are so happy and motivated in their jobs, the venue is going to incorporate a full event space with catering kitchen. Add all of that up and a view over Fitzroy Gardens, and Katherine Simpson an absolute Melbourne delight. <img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/915599111577233217-2898221605258186673?l=abeautyfeature.blogspot.com' alt='' /> IMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08595046954416297643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92951980080896682.post-39506650444801780572012-12-16T19:11:00.001-08:002012-12-16T19:11:45.167-08:00ESPA signature facials only at GROOM Spa<strong>ESPA signature facials only at GROOM Spa</strong><br/><br/>Seeing the ESPA brand around the world, it was a welcome surprise to see the entire ESPA line at GROOM Spring Street Melbourne.

I am using good skincare, at the same time being aware of what is in each product, so why does it look so flat, and uninteresting. You can change all of that, like I did with a trip to a Dermalogica Beauty Bar in David Jones to have a five minute info fix called Face Mapping. What can you learn from Face Mapping? well like I did you can learn that the products you have, you may not be using correctly.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKlyTJ0aFmfcOb_cQjt7zVuLd4dEn-tMSGXCPUOb_mDteaOAOQSwvNBeUzgrINiGhnLOC5XZUUasGCFojoDHmAeqzXCmf7f-GP1GGNxZf4mldtIQVrYo2RnjxC5OlsMsoWNEju2rfwHwOU/s1600/face-mapping.jpg" height="300" width="640" />GPS with no wrong turnsWhen I sat down at the Dermalogica Beauty Bar to experience Face Mapping a technique that is unique to Dermalogica, you can have all of those howâs and why answered in literally five minutes. Dermalogica recommends that you keep your face mapping profile up to date, as the skin (which if very true) is changing all the time.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitvIpQbXyKtxPj1nwsC-K9Vzb1JEOO1hPONjYBwboQ33EOW-JbHkD8RYbIMBJcum0zmx1lhGPT-1Ih57smbLCwuPHiexYIjLuMitZdiD9Mh-wVobR82QXJdqD3XgG_q1nWOQnyzTx9rGff/s1600/Jane+new+headshot+1+May+09+LOREZ.jpg" height="424" width="640" />Jane Wurland founder and inspiration of DermalogicaI liked the Dermalogica Face Mapping, its quick itâs not just a light touch to the skin, it is an effective way whereby the face is divided into sections, and these sections reflect differences in texture, heat, tone and health of the skin. The Dermalogica therapist has a very sure sweeping action over each section as they read the results of what they are experiencing and visualizing through an LED headlamp. With each section you will get immediate feedback from the therapist on solutions.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6j3vII2KvlWo_vkrwV97k5rQAKZ43bDk3NKekZd5cveMme2EY0rh3Jrtv_KoEXs73zgTyeQe3fLQkgnaDERPHApMzQ7dOFtruPl3JHT_d6sTdeIi9ss0ELka69fbi0JhwMm927t-5wENl/s1600/BEUATY_0008_DERMALOGICA.jpg" height="176" width="640" />At a Dermalogica Beauty Bar you can everything for your skinAfter the face mapping we looked at product and I was able to practice using all the products that were recommended, from cleansing, toning, exfoliating, moisturizing, eye treatment and sun protection.

I was using it in the morning and then rinsing off in the shower, but I was not preparing the product correctly, by making a light paste in the palm of my hand first and then applying onto my skin. I was just placing the powder in my damp palm and then massaging over the skin, not getting the full benefits from this product.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiluTb6_vbdiu1TZRKWBNu59rEOaiTy1gjtgxfFMr5_xgV3g1YERzPIpaQvroiCuPzBXYAX6O4WfrlTv5C0tfeD-e9wdxUhZg48hOEkbZ03wesR0Z4nSnAjSLxUOPF8KvZzqAmUr1x6KHBN/s1600/L1020318.JPG" height="640" width="480" />The best place to talk and experience skincare Dermalogica Beauty BarAt the Dermalogica Beauty Bar, where you can get into training mode I learnt how to correct this mistake, then applied the product correctly to my skin and immediately saw the difference, this is a big benefit to meet your Dermalogica expert regularly so that you can experience the product the right way.<br />A Dermalogica Beauty Bar is more than just a skincare counter, in David Jones Melbourne there is also a dedicated Dermalogica facial room that will open after the new year. Replenish your products, or just sit down to experience a particular product after your face mapping which is complementary. <br />Kelly Salter Dermalogica's Public Relations andConsumer Marketing Co-ordinator reiterated while she was in Melbourne that with Dermalogica it is all about the customer experience, over the past few years we seem to have forgotten the joy that a great retail experience can offer, well its waiting for you at any Dermalogica Beauty Bar.<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/915599111577233217-5837152702570630744?l=abeautyfeature.blogspot.com' alt='' /> IMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08595046954416297643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92951980080896682.post-76486638298659956992012-12-12T13:16:00.001-08:002012-12-12T13:16:28.000-08:00Rose Byrne wearing ck one makeup on the red carpet NYC<strong>Rose Byrne wearing ck one makeup on the red carpet NYC</strong><br/><br/>ck one global makeup artist Hung Vanngo created a beautiful and effortless look for actress Rose Byrne last night, as she attended the season premiere for the acclaimed comedy series "Portlandia' in NYC Byrne hit the red carpet at the third season premiere of Portlandia on at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

BB creams are now working their way through the market offering a skin finish that is light but has that all important flawless finish.<br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8dsvtS5MGTYiMGxlfs4jk8x7rIXU5ovWPQQyqiGswEuaThP17_cY6VJqqWX4D9HKSlyH5u3LwdNV5vf-mQDYGBvzWbQFQ2TzgklbdJjOsv3SnZ3l_Bu9yOalHlTNvINWX87EThYIb_i8u/s1600/BB_CREAM+FPC_med_res.jpg" height="640" width="488" />I like to wear a light cream in the day time when I just want exactly that, a light cream. Here is a cream that offers 9 power packed properties that work well in todayâs environment. Speaking with beauty industry experts when BB creams first appeared we assumed they must be only for an oily skin, but they are not.<br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHPweCrVYuu4zHB3d7f8l9-UWYWcBlAvJ1YL1uYJXV59t-DibrIQEv9I0heFGm64lkWAYPyZ46yPuCf6nGJjO6hoN3QCu3ANsaJGKn_bGhMhwTUDwDG24pPCIw3fZUnNIvwyAxGikQ_kQ_/s1600/HR_BB_Cream_Light_+Final.jpg" height="640" width="280" /><br /><br />BB cream stands for blemish balm, blemish base, or beblesh balm (apparently because of a copyright in Korea on the word "blemish"), and in Western markets, beauty balm. So for us beauty balm is what we require. BB cream is promoted as an all-in-one facial cosmetic product to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation, and sun protection. It can be worn alone as a tinted moisturizer, over serum and moisturizer as a regular foundation, and under powder, depending on the desired amount of coverage.<br /><br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbZ19wUeLn7i1PymzsmzH29w-7NwMQmQ_FLZRrD_12l6k-7WD7k2j86oBIpCuN45Ug0RakLSP2SC7NbaRo7u-9C9HTKxhzFOzKvoKlyC8-Oy2AGIlwl5AGkduFVJYRxby0eF5jwvrJF7_c/s1600/HR_BB_Cream_Medium_+Final.jpg" height="640" width="281" /><br /><br />Rimmelâs BB Cream is creamy so it does not drag across the skin that is due in part to the moisturizing factor added, so more is less, it will help with covering light marks and blemished, but donât use this product as a sole concealer. If you have serious blemishes, treat those with your concealer and then apply Rimmelâs BB Cream lightly over the skin.<br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk1WElY6DnEiD41xH540jcMazm6Gn_cTQS1aTiNoJ13R_s8gLlJLLaTa6aLZagK7ZFHG8C4dT32DLGomrrkddmiloTvXqVqR8dlswZswcwa7Pno39tFv1BG53AuYdadg8Q8LA2Xwuu4wRq/s1600/HR_BB_Cream_Medium_Dark_+Final.jpg" height="640" width="280" /><br />You will get good mileage out of this BB Cream for the day, the primer will make sure of that, but you must prepare your skin properly before you use it. In the morning donât forget to clean your skin, a lot of users think that if they are in the shower, that just water on their face is good enough but it is not.

The Chinese have said it since ancient times: acupuncture is good for the skin, it makes it more elastic and toned, stimulating the synthesis of collagen. Itâs considered an option instead of a face-lift, equal to fillers, botox and biostimulants. The effect is softer that when a filler substance is injected, and it has the advantage of being a complete treatment of general strengthening of the organism and not a superficial correction. This is a medical therapy that tones the up the organs, helping their physiological activity get better. The whole body benefits from it, including the cellular activity of the skin itself, the connective tissue and the muscle fibers. The face and the skin thus appear more relaxed.<br /><br /><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKtZGt0Ls1g0BHU5k-9Prl4Z9ueMBBE8TAyaL31RiY0ddOEBvaDVJpBYggQtvprFmLw742QGBTYNjqQpjZBmun-3HZ6o66vO7dhftrRfzPZnBlfgha3eUGBYnTVMSNU7tNkPD8e1Uo_gVL/s1600/Cameron_Diaz.jpg" height="480" width="640" /><br />Every patient reacts in a different way, because it depends on oneâs general health. The treatments are done following the rules of Chinese medicine, along the meridian channels in the precise points that match the organ one wants to stimulate. Another valuable method is the bio face-lift, based on homeopathic collagen applied on the acupuncture knots on the face, neck and neckline. The technique is based on small injections of substances with free anti radicals and stimulate the cells' turn-over. Itâs important to follow a healthy diet and a balanced lifestyle, seen as the body and mind, according to the holistic vision of all Eastern medicines, are strictly tied to one another.<br /><br /><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/915599111577233217-6891996066365373825?l=abeautyfeature.blogspot.com' alt='' /> IMBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08595046954416297643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92951980080896682.post-1072209331132395382012-12-11T16:01:00.003-08:002012-12-11T16:01:05.042-08:00Dior Cheri Bow Collection â Spring 2013<strong>Dior Cheri Bow Collection â" Spring 2013</strong><br/><br/>Dressed with the bow that Christian Dior adored â" a throwback to games of love and chance, feminine avatar of the bow tie and an homage to the ribbons worn by the Duchesse de Fontanges, the Chérie Bow collection unfurlsâ¦pretty as pink.
