Giveaway: Laura Mercier for Pamella Roland

Posted by: Administrator  :  Category: Beauty Essentials

Disappointed that you didn’t get to attend any fashion shows this season? Don’t despair! We are offering one lucky winner 4 of the Laura Mercier products that were used to create the look at Pamella Roland’s Fall 2012 show. We had the pleasure of watching Matin Maulawizada, Global Brand Ambassador for Laura Mercier, work his magic backstage and got the low down on the Aspen-inspired looks. Maulawizada drew from the collection’s gentle femininity and strong fashion edge to create a makeup look that is “simple and reminiscent of nature with monochromatic colors, and yet, at the same time cool and beautiful.”

FACE

Matin stated “subtly sun-kissed skin and breezy blooming cheeks evocative of a crisp day outdoors were the foundations of the look.”

LIPS

  • Matin then “applied a runway lip, with a stained effect so it didn’t appear overdone.”
  • Matin recommends readers at home apply Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Cocoa (NEW: Crème Smooth Lip Colours available Fall 2012) by pressing it onto their lips using their ring finger. This gives a sexy, stained effect.

EYES

According to Maulawizada, “the very diffused smoky chocolate brown eye mimics nature by looking perfectly imperfect.”

  • Matin finished the look by adding several coats of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara (NEW: Faux Lash Mascara available Fall 2012)

Peel Your Way to a Luminous Complexion

Posted by: Administrator  :  Category: Beauty Essentials

Does your winter skin need an instant brightening boost? Lumixyl SilkPeel is a novel peel designed to exfoliate, hydrate and illuminate skin.

The SilkPeel MD is the first device to combine the highest quality, diamond assisted microdermabrasion with a simultaneous delivery of potent topical serums deep into the surface of the skin and down to the base of the pores. The Lumixyl SilkPeel removes the top-most portion of the epidermis while also infusing the skin with the new powerful Lumixyl peptide. The Lumixyl infusion specifically helps reduce hyperpigmentation, melasma and improves uneven skin tone. It is non-toxic and safe for all skin types. In addition, Lumixyl does not contain hydroquinone which can cause irritation.

I tested out the procedure at Dr. Rosemary Ingleton’s NoHo office where Esthetician Michelle Calabrese was genuinely excited to demonstrate the Silk Peel. She aptly called it an, “exorcism of toxins lying on your skin.” During the procedure, the dual action of diamond-assisted microdermabrasion and a dermal infusion flush out impurities and also deliver potent topical serums deep into the surface of the skin. A jar of liquid is left behind with the remnants of your skin’s exorcism. It’s frightening what exactly comes out after such a deep cleaning. My jar looked like makeup. One client of Michelle’s actually took home the jar to show her husband! It’s mind boggling but your skin will never look better.

To jump start your skin for spring, I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with Michelle, who calls herself a 30’s era obsessed nerd who lives for the customization of the chemistry of skincare. Silk Peel and Pelleve and among her favorite procedures. She is adorable, and really wants to maximize the potential of your skin care. She holds Dr. Ingleton, in the highest regard, calling her a perfectionist.

The entire procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and there is no downtime afterward. Visible results are immediate, however a series of monthly treatments is recommended.

The Lumixyl SilkPeel Treatment is available nationwide by trained medical professionals.
