PRODUCT OBSESSION – PHYTOMER BUTTOCKS-THIGH SCULPTOR

November 9, 2009

Phyotmer is one of those top of the line, natural, marine based, organic cosmetics companies where you can simply FEEL the luxury of the product ingredients the moment you lay hands on it.  So when I heard about this BUTTOCKS-THIGH SCULPTOR – DRAINAGE ENHANCING SHAPING EMULSION, I couldn't wait to dive in!

I used it for a few weeks and loved how things looked in my ripply thigh dept.  A definite smoothness!  When I found out I was pregnant I got too scared to study my thighs anymore so I'm saving the rest of the tube for post bebe when I'll really need it!  In fact, I'll probably buy a whole box of it… 🙂

Here's a bit more about this super-duper magic sculptor: 

BUTTOCKS-THIGHS SCULPTOR

DRAINAGE ENHANCING SHAPING EMULSION

The PHYTOMER Laboratories offer an unprecedented formula to help regain a more beautiful buttocks and combat fat storage on the thighs. Specific marine ingredients, including a unique plant extract (Suaeda maritima), help “dissolve” excess localized fat, while smoothing and toning skin. Feel confident to show off your legs!

-Directions for use: apply morning and evening to target areas. Massage in with fingers, using firm circular movements. Finish with a rolling technique over the upper thigh area..

WE LIKE

– The 1st cosmetic product with an ingredient capable of first BREAKING UP fat droplets to ELIMINATE their appearance.

 - Suaeda maritima: action that is 4 times more powerful than caffeine on fat in the thigh area.

RESULTS

Reduced areas of concern on the thighs: 82% satisfaction

Reduced and reshaped the buttocks: 75% satisfaction

 (Consumer test carried out on 114 volunteers aged 25 to 45 with concern areas on the thighs, not caused by problems of menopause.)

Sculpteur-fesse

(BTW…PHYTOMER FACTS)

  • Products tested under dermatological supervision, and ophthalmological supervision when necessary (products for the eye contour area). In addition to these tests, carried out by an independent laboratory – the guarantee of complete transparency – we also have perception tests carried out. These help us to understand volunteers' opinions on the texture, color, and fragrance of a product before it is released on the market.
  • No animal testing. Phytomer is committed to never performing any tests on animals, whether for raw materials or finished products.
  • Respect for the environment when collecting raw materials. We are in constant contact with the natural environment and must protect it. Our seaweed is collected from natural seaweed forests, respecting periods of reproduction and following local regulations, and we work in close cooperation with the harvesters. We adapt our methods for each type of seaweed so as to ensure the preservation of the marine ecosystem.

PRODUCT OBSESSION – LEAF & RUSHER SKIN CARE COLLECTION

February 12, 2009

So we all know that I worship Rand Rusher. 

Being a product junkie – obviously, as only a grooming junkie would be – I recently took the splurge and dove into the skincare line he developed with plastic surgeon Norman Leaf.

Uh, WOWZA.

First of all, everything is naturally blended, created with botanical and medical grade ingredients that don't strip the skin but infuse them with vitamins and peptides. Yum!

Of course I am an obsessive cleanser and I think I drench a cotton square and swipe my face with Witch hazel, like, 5 times a day. Not good. So I was drawn to the SKIN TONIC that Rand told me is not a typical toner at all, but rather a balancing tonic that revitalized, protects, firms, hydrate and exfoliates in one step. Let's just say, I'm hooked. Acid, alcohol free and PH-balanced with glucosamine, yeast and natural algae…It's like an elixir of the gods, totally refreshing not to mention it contains licorice (calming – me needs this mucho) and free-radical-fighting antioxidants. Well, the Witch Hazel is in the garbage.

Next thing, eye cream. I had yet to settle on one. Truth is, I didn't even have one. Just some samples here and there that I pick up. I'm always scared to take the plunge, because let's face it, they are pricey. Until now.

I sampled the TX EYES with DNAResolve last time I was there and literally noticed a difference ON THE SPOT. Perhaps it was the lightening agents that made things brighten and pop immediately…Of course on a deeper level I was drawn to the ingredients of this luxury formula: potent vitamins, botanicals, firming, brightening, repairing and strengthening agents, eye contour, fine line, dark circle and puffiness relievers…So I sprung for this too. I cannot wait to see what will happen in the next few weeks as the marine plankton and lecithin helps repair the damaged DNA helix by supporting the skin's natural repair process from UV damage (so scientific!). I trust Rand to shoot needles into my face. When he says he developed something that WORKS…I believe him. 

And hey, the price is not ridic either:

TX EYES: $91.00

SKIN TONIC: $50.00

Plumped, Injected, Relaxed, Perfected! RAND RUSHER THE GO TO FOR BOTOX AND FILLERS

November 12, 2008



Just
saying his name, the way it rolls off my tongue like the name of an exotic
dessert I could never make at home, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Here,
try it for yourself :
RAND RUSHER 

Could
anything sound more perfect? And wait until you see him, this gorgeous hunk of
male-nurse-ness. Take my face, you’ll want to say. Take it and stick your
needles into it. Do with it whatever you wish. It’s yours. I’m yours. Let’s do
this.

The Mathematics of
a Beautiful Face
is
what Rand exudes, knows, teaches and performs. I first read about Rand in a
magazine while sweating out last night’s Ben and Jerry's on the elliptical – Vogue or
Elle or something. It was a piece on how brilliant he was at doing things like
fixing bad Botox and overly-injected faces – basically undoing the hideous
anti-handiwork of others. This fascinated me. Could there be a bigger fear in
life?

Ok
may be a few, I get it, but let’s just pretend for a second that this really is
as important as I am going to make it sound…

So I
went to meet Rand. And he filled my life with all sorts of new joys and well,
fillers. First I tested the waters with a little old school basic forehead
Botox, to get a feel for his aesthetic. I loved it. He goes for an
organic, natural look. He will not freeze your face like a daytime TV actress
or one of those freaky looking women binging on Angelina Yogurt after a
facelift consult on Bedford Drive. He will not erase every little crow's foot.
He likes expression and realness. This is the wave of the future after years of
that frozen Housewives of Orange County look that gave Botox a bad name. No,
no, Rand puts the ‘balanced’ back into Botox.

Then we
got creative. He told me that a little Botox to those muscle-cord-bandy-things
on my neck would soften the appearance of tension and take yet another few
years off.
  Obviously, I didn’t
wait a beat. Now I am totally hooked on it. It’s so incredibly
subtle yet makes a huge difference.

Then I
wanted some filler action. Restylane, Juvederm. Anything with three syllables
and youth enhancing properties, shoot me up please.

 “Do your math on me!” is what I believe I said to Rand. Rand is a Beauty
Scientist; he knows the matrix of facial perfection and will give you just the
slightest tweaks with these fillers to balance things out in the most natural,
non-obvious way possible. No one ever notices anything other than, ‘Wow, Em,
you look friggen amazing!’
  What he
does is beyond subtle and totally non-Bev-Hills looking 'work'.  I recall
a needle to the nasal labial folds, some action under my eyes, a squirt to my
chin, somewhere on my cheek and maybe the lip lines above my top lip?? There was
no Angelina Jolie lip plumping for me (on my face, he said, no way!), no
fake-cheekbone puffing, just a little juice where that cruel mistress Age was
starting to take her hollow grip on things. Watch out, missy, Rand will get
you, he will!

Rand is
a master. Did I mention there was not a moment of bruising anywhere?! Not even
the delicate under eye skin. Nothing. I could have left and shot a movie that
afternoon. And he is so deliciously charming, sweet and fun that you really
will have to re-do your annual budget to fit him into your monthly beauty
calendar. You will start making up things to do just to go back because
whenever you leave you are simply guaranteed to look better and let’s face it
more importantly, younger and prettier.

Rand is
one half on the Leaf and Rusher Medical Skin Care Clinic on Bedford in Bev
Hills, around the corner from Anastasia and Angelina Yogurt. They have a
ridiculously amazing line of skin-care products, many of which I am way
addicted to like the Skin Tonic, TX Eyes and Rapid Resurface. All major yum!

Rand Rand your the Man, if God can't do it you can!  


Welcome to GROOMED L.A. !

November 10, 2008

Ever since I was a young girl,  I've always loved the thrill of walking into a salon and knowing I was about to be transformed.  Feeling low?  Get some highlights! As soon as those pearly doors open my eyes light up, my heart starts to race.  I am a true Grooming Junkie.

Working as an actress in front of the camera keeps a beauty regime on its toes.  You can't just sit around and let the grey grow in and the crows fit build nests around your eyes.  You've gotta be on top of this stuff!  Spas, treatments, top of the line products — ahh, nirvana…

GROOMED  L.A. is where you will get up to date info on not only the best hair coiffures, waxers, facialists (including dermatologists, injectionists, etc.), body shapers (trainers, gyms, classes) massage therapists, plastic surgeons, even Feng Shui experts to get your home perfectly aligned, but also my insider information on things you won't read about in beauty magazines.   Like where to get great eyebrows shaped for under $20, the best cheapie manicure (still looking!) and that $20 foot massage everyone talks about. 

But mostly I am after the best of the best.  The best ingredients, the most cutting edge treatments and the latest in beauty and anti-aging product technology.  My preference is top of the line companies committed to excellence.  I only write about what I've tested and tried and LOVE.  I am not paid by any of the companies nor I do receive any compensation. GROOMED L.A. is a labor of love!

Let's face it, you don't have to spend a fortune to look like you have one.   And if you do have to spend a fortune, I'll make sure you are spending it in the right place.  But hey, these are my personal opinions and I'm only offering juicy advice based on personal experience, which as a Grooming Junkie, I have a lot of.

And guess what?  Now I'm available as your personal grooming concierge!  You call me with your needs, I find the perfect fit, make the appointments, accompany you if you need a little support and you may even get discounts to all the hottest grooming peeps in town.  Pretty amazing! 

Just email me with any questions and I'll do my best to help you out…

Polished, waxed and blown out,

The Grooming Junkie
