Audrina Patridge visits The Garnier Malibu Beach House.

July 27, 2010

The Garnier Malibu Beach House played host to a wonderful time at the beach yesterday and where was I? Covered in spit up and bouncing a crying baby on an exercise ball. I did get the full scoop on what I missed though. I'm espesh bummed cuz Audrina from The Hills was there and being a ginormous fan of the show (I'm clearly High Brow-Brilliant) I'm just oh-so bumerino that I didn't get a real life peek at her…well…boobs.

As is her celeb due Audrina was treated to some skincare pampering and hairstyling by Garnier experts – Hairstylist Marc Mena and Aesthetician Stacy Cox. Stacy Cox helped prep her skin for the beach with NEW Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Lightweight UV Lotion and Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Dark-Circle Roller. Marc Mena prepped Audrina’s hair using Garnier Fructis Blow Dry Perfector 2-Step Smoothing Kit, then added beautiful beach waves and fixed them with Garnier Fructis Anti-Humidity Hairspray. Obviously she looked Hills and Malibu fab.

The day was capped off with a cocktail party, where beauty bloggers & style writers (MINUS ME !) enjoyed delicious bites and desserts catered by Chef Manouschka from Private Chefs of Beverly Hills. Apparently Audrina was super sweet and graciously took photos with guests, while Marc and Stacy helped introduce the new Color Shield Haircare collection, Moisture Rescue skincare collection and new Garnier Men’s Survivor collection.

Here are some pix of the perky Audrina, looking ravishing with her gorgeous Garnier hair. Yes, they make me feel fat, old and ugly.

So looking forward to some Garnier products for a major over-tired-new-mommy pick me up.

New from Dermalogica – UltraCalming Kit – Bridget reports…

July 26, 2010

Irritated skin? Dermalogica UltraCalming kit to the rescue!

I’ve been known to overdo it in the beauty department. I figure if a little exfoliation is good, then a lot is better. Right? So wrong. I’m totally red in the face.

Dermalogica has my irritated skin covered with their new UltraCalming kit. It’s a five-part system that gently coddles sensitized skin and helps it heal faster. Cleanser, Masque, Mist, Serum and Moisturizer brought relief to my tender mug.

I especially like the UltraCalming Mist since it can easily be reapplied over makeup throughout the day to keep itchiness at bay without washing away coverage or sunblock. I don’t know of anything else on the market that does that!

Loving my Dermalogica UltraCalming kit because – not only can it get me through the little irritations I can (uh, not so accidentally) cause at home but it’s the ideal soothing system to use after a peel or laser treatment when skin needs a gentle touch.

PRODUCT OBSESSION OF THE MONTH! PRTTY PEASHUN SKIN TIGHT BODY LOTION

July 24, 2010

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS STUFF IS NO JOKE!

Ok, when I first read about this 'magical skin tightening' potion, PRTTY PEAUSHUN, on Tracy Anderson's website, I thought "yeahhhrighhht" – a potion that makes your skin look tight, toned, covers cellulite, eases sore muscles and enhances muscle tone…Can you bulldinky?

Of course I had to try it, pronto.

Created by master make up artist Bethany Karlyn , turns out this amazing natural, 100 % vegan, paraben-free fragrance and TOXIC free formulation WORKS!

It moisturizes!

It reflects light!

It's skin-firming, tightening, anti-inflammatory and soothing!

It makes your gams glammy!

How did it work on me? I tested it out last night on my first 'date night' with Hubby since Le Bebe was born. I thought, hmm…get out of the baggy post-preggo-rags…put some make-upon…make myself presentable…dare I say sexy…and who knows…maybe I'll score some post-baby action tonight. 😉

I put on a short little Rory Becca black dress, then smoothed a little dollop on my calves ( I'm not nearly ready for thigh exposure action, that'll take a million more miles on the elliptical so I can't vouch for it's upper thigh cellulite coverage…and THANK YOU GOD I have no stretch marks so I can't fill ya in on that coverage either) and VOILA!! It evened out leg yuckiness ( me gots in spades) instantly. I'm talkin' this nectar of the gods covered the many bruises I have from banging into furniture while changing Le Bebe in the middle of the night, those pesky little shaving scabs, those tiny little scars from overzealous high school shaving and bike trip accidents and this stuff made me feel about my body, for the first time in months…SEXY?

YES. SEXY!!

But hold on….It doesn't FEEL like you're wearing anything. I was super concerned that I was going to feel like I had some sort of leg cover-up on…gross. So not the case. It's sort of like a grease-free, non-make-up, clean feeling version of a leg foundation, moisturizer and highlighter all mixed into one gorgeous little $34.99 silver pouch-y 'anti-packaging' bag – light and easy on the carbon footprint…Does that make sense? It feels totally light and somehow, therapeutic. Maybe it's the near edible ingredients and botanicals: Avocado Oil, Avocado Butter, Grapefruit Wax, Jojoba Gel, Calendula, Green Tea and Rosemary extracts, Allantoin, Arnica (great for bruises) and Blue Vervain Leaf that made me feel so refreshed wearing it.

It comes in plain, light, medium and dark. I have the medium -perfect for my olive yet untanned skin.

Run don't walk to your soon to be gorgeous gams and buy it HERE!

Oh and the post baby action I was talkin about? It worked 😉
