soooo many product and treatments to fill you in on – i don't know where to start.

 

1. so far, no replacement for the toxic-much-debated Brazilian Blowout. sorry peeps. so far i've tried 4 au-natural-chem-free attempts at hair de-frizzing and they all suck-ass.  so this week, thank you thank you, the brilliant LIZ DEVIN will be putting on her mask and flattening the crap outta my jew-frizz over at ANDY LECOMPTE.

2. the good people at the mucho famoso Dr. Peter Bela Fodor invited me in to try the VASER system – a non-invasive fat removal system. well, if you can wrap your head around this one – we only could do my underarms as it appeared that day that i didn't have enough fat in my mid-section and my thighs house metal hip replacements and we couldn't do the VASER near those.  so after a lovely lie down with the yummy warm massagy thing going back and forth on my arms like the best hot stone massage ever – the bat wings were measured and were 1/4 inch smaller. not bad! you are supposed to do a series of 4 or 5 treatments and this is supposed to be great for mid-section and thigh bulges. i am still freakin out over the LIPOSONIX i tried 6 weeks ago as they seriously is melting fat off my legs. wow. honestly, if you need to get rid of fat that spinning still has'nt touched in years, not up for anything invasive – this is IT. period, the end. it works.

 

3. a killler, organic, mineral sunscreen to protect your DNA from UVA rays is making me and my kids so happy. SOLEIL ORGANIQUE MINERAL SUNSCREEN MIST ($42). it makes putting sunscreen on fun. the spray is so cool – like a dry mist. absorbs quickly, smells amazing. in fact, we all can't get enough. and it's rated 45, water resistant, hypo allergenic, vegan and gluten free with green tea extract and eco sun complex. to die for.

 

4. if you're looking for a BRIGHT hot pink summer gloss – this is your baby. Anastasia's SEE AND BE SEEN set ($44) it comes with 2 serious almost neon pink and peachy glosses, a brow gel and duo eye shadow. summer glimmer at it's best.

 

5. tried a C02 laser two weeks ago. the motherlode of skin resurfacing. holy shizzy.  if you have a down week where you can look like you've been in a hard-core plane crash and have some hypo or hyper-pigmentation, acne scars or fine lines you'd like to see blasting into oblivion, this is the treatment for you. NOT for the faint of heart.  it hurts like a mutha (take the narco!) will frighten the crap outta your spouse, partner or kids, but crap it's totally worth it. i have the skin of a 2 year old. you CANNOT have just anyone do it! it's considered surgery (even though it's not technically, it's in office and you're up) and i only only only recommend DR. LEIF ROGERS and/or his P.A. VALERIE to perform it. not cheap either but if you have skin issues that you've been battling – this is for you.

 

 

 

EXTRASHADE – suncare and SPF for multi-cultural skin.

June 21, 2012

Awesome! EXTRASHADE is a unique SPF product carefully formulated for rich complexions that is proving to help maintain great looking skin among the multi-cultural community.

  The fact is 1 out 3 people belong to the multi-cultural community.

  • For this growing population who has extra pigmentation, more melanin, EXTRASHADE is suncare products that are carefully designed to help solve their primary health and beauty concerns — hyperpigmentaion and discoloration.

 

I had the fabulous and brilliant Dr. Sheila Hughes try out the EXTRASHADE line on her insanely perfect skin and report back to us…
"I started using Extrashade in the last 1 1/2 months since I began exercising outdoors. I admittedly didn't spend a whole lot of time outside before. I'm getting ready to do the Ms. U.S. Globe Pageant in August so I really appreciate having it now. I absolutely love the product. I use it everyday now as a moisturizer for my skin. It has a very luxurious feel and actually has a slight shimmer to it so it looks very beautiful on darker skin tones. (Through trial and error, I found that a little bit goes a long way.) Because it is made with natural ingredients I feel good about using it daily and I love the way my skin looks and feels with it. As a physician I would recommend it because not only is it good for the overall health of your skin, it conforms to the new FDA recommendations regarding sunscreens that they should provide a SPF of 30 and broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) protection. Since I'm 57, I appreciate the ingredients which not only protect my skin but also hydrate, repair and rejuvenate it with natural botanicals. Love it!"
Thanks Sheila! And thanks EXTRASHADE for letting us sample. We will be sure to help spread the word!

 

 

 

Hang up your Spanx. VEDETTE is sucking your ass in while keeping you looking and feeling hot, hot, hot when you take that dress off.

all i can say is wow – this stuff is so hot in a sexy-crazy-corset-shape-wear-throw-back-to-50's-housewife-girdle way…i don't know what to do with myself.

now i just need someplace amazing to go so i can wear my wicked hot corset under a bad ass dress and have the most amazing hourglass shape and tight as a soccer ball butt while looking forward to undressing for someone special afterwards and parading around in it. boom.

heck, maybe i'll just wear it around the house.

totally loving this look. it's just smokin ol' fashioned hot. i tested it out on a male friend who said it looked like a sexy biking outfit but no way was it gonna be hot on. well, he changed his mind, fast. look, there's a peek a boo cut out for your vajinnee and butt, so i mean, c'mon. 

the bra is not part of it – it's just this sexy girdle thing and i am mad about it.

this is the LENORA – it's $72

Cosmetic Acupuncture now in Beverly Hills. Tamara ZumMallen now on Linden Drive

June 4, 2012

you may remember the amazing, toxic-free, wrinkle-reducing loveliness of MEI ZEN, Cosmetic Acupuncture in all its glory, that i wrote about last year, with the fab Tamara ZumMallen??

i had a most amazing touch up with her last week (much needed) in her gorgeous new Beverly Hills office space (a far cry from Larchmont) – it is sooo much calmer, zen-like, private and more womb-ee than her old spot, i wanted to curl up in the coziest room ever and sleep there all day. it kinda sucked having to leave after my hour session which included a full Mei Zen treatment and all sort of needles elsewhere, heat lamps, an amazing meditation cd and a drift into oblivion.

leaving was….hard.

my body, soul and mind thanked me for my hour-urban-needle retreat, and my face was so relaxed, well, i'm going back next week.  

this could become a habit. 

Cosmetic: $135/session or $1,200 for 10. Regular acupuncture: $135 for first session. $85 for subsequent sessions.
