Rae Cosmetics – Flawless skin, sunscreen and jammed with vitamins and anti-oxidants all in one.

This town is filled with multi-hyphenates.  Actress/model/bottle hostess. Writer/producer/interior designer.  It only makes sense that a high impact beauty product better be rocking at least two to three slashes to make it in L.A.

A major beauty obsesh of mine is the combo foundation/moisturizer/sunblock.   If I can knock smooth, flawless coverage, moist skin and a wicked sunscreen in one product, then it gets the starring role.   While I'm gaga over products, I'm into super simplicity and a mayyjorrlly low maintenance routine.  I have more tubes then you can imagine crowding my bathroom.  I want less, not more.

RAE COSMETICS, created by make-up artist Rochelle Rae nails this and then some with her Climate Control SPF 20 Mineral Tint ($39).   Not only am I covered in the sunblock department with some serious SPF 20 – but the foundation coverage is SICK!   It's not thick and goopy like most of these double duty foundation/suncreen posers.  It's light, it moves, it glows.  It's a fricken wonderland of luminescent creaminess that doesn't sit on the skin but rather is absorbed by it, becoming the ultimate moisturizer and skin perfector.  Fresh, clean, light and flawless.  Uh, helllooo!!

It's water-based, non-chemical and rocks antioxidants all-in-one.

Oh and check this out: It's water-resistant.  It stays on all day, even when you sweat.

Hypo-allergenic, oil, fragrance and talc free, it's made from a micro-crushed blend of minerals, pigments and potent anti-oxidants form crystals that overlap on skin, forming a barrier that protects from free radicals, pollutants and sun damage, while allowing the skin to breathe and function normally, as if wearing nothing at all.  Ahhh….

It's also jammed with Titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, ginkgo biloba, chamomile and vitamins A, C and E to protect, moisturize and heal even the most sensitive skin, while evening skin tones and masking imperfections.   It's designed to withstand heat and perspiration and won't crease or smear while at work or play. 

I've been working two different shades, alternating and sometimes mixing together.  

The rest of her line kicks-ass too.  Her bronzers are sweeet and lip glosses are awesome.

Simplify your routine and get fresh and pretty with Rae here.

GOT FAT? KISS IT BUH-BYE WITH LYNN BANFI AT PER AMORE. THIS HOLLYWOOD/CELEB SECRET IS OUT

October 18, 2010

I just got a master class on my least favorite subject – FAT!

You heard me.  A full on lecture about the curious nature of how fat lives in our bodies, how the skin sits on top of it and alas, a dissertation on the mother of all body-nightmares – cellulite. 

The brilliant Lynn Banfi who is more schooled on this subject than a PhD., took me on a visual tour not only of the layers of our bodies, overhead projections and all, but also on a tour of the thousands of bodies she has rid of the most varmant-y skin plague of all – CELLULITE.

Show me a woman who isn't racked about cellulite, fat, thin, whoever, and I'll show you a…well, I forget the other half of that expression.  But ya' get the point.

Cellulite isn't picky.  It wrecks havoc on fat and thin alike, men and women.  Even little kids.  That's because it has nothing to do with FAT.  In lay mans terms, it's a hormonal/skin thang

Lynn has been doing stuff with ultra-sound machines and various pieces of non-invasive-equipment like Dermsonic and Smoothshapes (think Endermologie on steroids) that literally flush the stuff out of your body, smooths the texture of the skin, re-contours the body, with zero downtime and it's actually quite affordable. Then again, can you really put a price of cellulite removal? Oh, did I mention it feels amazing.  It is after all called "Dermasonic Massage."

I experienced her brilliance for myself the other day.  Having just had surgery, my body has been swelling up a bit and retaining fluid big time.  This is called edema.  Lynn's work involves lymph drainage and moving fluid out of the body and several doctors and top-notch plastic surgeons send their patients to Lynn to help speed the healing process post-op.  They all know her work.  We took measurements before and after and I saw with my own eyes that every body part worked on was 1/2 inch smaller post-treatment.  Can you say, sign me up for next week? 

You've  got to go to her website to see the before and afters with your own eyes.  In her office she took me through hundreds of these and explained every case.  This is no joke.  This is the real thing.  So when you see these celebs in micro-mini's with perfect legs, just know, they're getting a little help.  I feel like I just solved the fricken Divinci code, having discovered Lynn.  (Ooh and psyched I get to share her with you!)

If you've been fighting the good-cellulite fight for years and getting nowhere, get your dimples to Lynn asap.

In the meantime start drinking tons of water RIGHT NOW. That's a big part of flushing the crap out.

 

Mention Groomed L.A. and get a 15% discount on any series!

A series of  10 Smoothshapes or Dermosonic is $1750.

So that is a reduction of $262.50.  Talk about trimming the fat!

AND take home a big ole gift in product: like the Mama Mio creams and serums or the anti-cellulite garments from Italy.  PARTY!!

PRODUCT OBSESSION – ERNO LASZLO – TOTAL FACE AND BODY PROTECTION SPF 30

July 15, 2010

Seems I can never get the right sun block – too thick, too greasy, too zinc-y, too watery…Yes, I have a few faves, and now I am adding to the mix one from my fave line, ERNO LASZLO.

A 7 oz tube is $42.00 and it's worth it.  Smells divine, first of all, goes on like butta – must be the shea butter (aha!).  It's packed with green tea extract, Vitamin E and sea water.  Maybe it's all these natural ingredients that make it feel so non-chemically or drugstore-ish.  It feels really pure, my face is nice and matte and I don't have that feeling like I'm going to be all broken out by the end of the day.  If you're ready for an extra special sunblock, I say go for this one.  (btw, I can't get enough of the gorgeous tube).

CELLULITE, BE GONE! (Crossing fingers) MURAD’S FIRM AND TONE DIETARY PACK SUPPLEMENTS

June 15, 2010

One of the more super fun parts of pregnancy is the plethora of cellulite that find's it's sweet pretty way to your body.  Or, at least mine…Front of the legs, back of 'em, butt and WTF?!! Arms?  Something is way rotten in the state of L.A. friends.

Enter phase one of my attack, in hopefully what will NOT prove to be Mission Impossible – the vanishing of this lumpy, bumpy appearance from me bod. MURAD'S FIRM AND TONE DIETARY SUPPLEMENT PACKS. This box of supplements (4 week supply is $137.50) claims to reduce the appearance of cellulite AND stretch marks and encourages the appearance of firmer skin by 78%.  I'm also excited about the awesome micronutrients, fatty acids, multi-vitamin aspect that I so desperately need right now as I breastfeed that days away (and hopefully the pounds!)  I had a long talk with Dr. Murad himself about cellulite and it really is a skin issue, NOT a fat issue…which is why so many skinny bitches, like Eva Longoria, here…
