For years eco-friendly glamour girls like ourselves have been sending an SOS for beautiful yet natural lip products that offer sparkle and shine. Finally, a lip product that comes to the rescue! Kiss My Face’s SOS Sheer Organic Shimmers are mineral based, 91% organic and 100% natural. These lip treats are sure to please every green goddess. Our supper sensitive lips are the canary of the lip gloss coal mine. If there is anything toxic, we instantly get chapped and flaky. This luscious formula is healthy and has left our lips smooth and shinny all week. Also the nude, muted colors in this collection are the must have compliment to the season's bold eyes.
Sheer Organic Shimmers ($4.95) offer sheer tint, silky shine and luscious Vanilla Mint flavor while conditioning and moisturizing lips with Beeswax, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and Vitamin E.
Who doesn't need industrial strength exfoliants in the winter? Well, technically Sigrid has forbid me from using physical exfoliants on my face until the end of time. ("Gomage only!" Insists the brilliant French-Canadian wizard of epidermal health.) However as we all know my back needs serious help and well she was, at the time, speaking only of my face. I suppose we have a 'don't ask don't tell policy' on my back, mkay? Anyhow this winter from stress and excessive travelling my back acne has become a, perhaps irreversible, problem. Since I have finally decided I'd actually like a BF after years of being happily single I should probably 1) stop advertising my back ugliness on the internet and 2) fix the bane of my existence permanently. So after my full body salt scrub down at Bliss SF I have taken to two natural, yet powerful exfoliants to exterminate the pests that chew at my back like termites at an otherwise lovely country home. Suki's Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser is essentially a jar jam packed with rock hard sugar which melts into a pungent lemon foaming cleanser upon encountering water. It is amazing and the powerful lemon scent is a perfect remedy for the winter doldrums. (At only $10 a jar, this organic product is a must-have.) Dermalogica's exfoliating body scrub is not as pungent and slightly less masochistic in its exfoliating prowess however its combination of Pulverized Fig, Date and Olive seed powders leave skin smooth and supple. Enjoy!
This celeb studded Jurlique Biodynamic BBQ took place Saturday afternoon at Hillhaven Lodge in LA and celebrated the arrival of Jurlique’s NEW Biodynamic Beauty Range.
Film director and producer, Brett Ratner and CEO of Jurlique, Eli Halliwell were joined by biodynamic believers including: Salma Hayek, Rosanna Arquette, Paris Hilton, Stevie Wonder, Oliver Stone, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Gerard Butler, Francis Ford Coppola, Naomie Harris, Scott Caan, Jared Leto, Ileana Douglas, Claire Forlani, Nicole Esposito, Tracey Edmonds, and Sanaa Lathan.
Guests enjoyed an afternoon of relaxation and renewal with complimentary hand and food treatments using Jurlique’s signature Rosewater Balancing Mist and Rose Hand Cream, while sipping on Lavender Lemonade--specially created for the BBQ. The menu also included biodynamic and locally sourced food and biodynamic wine from Benziger winery.
Jurlique’s collection of plant and flower-based extracts, elixirs, and lotions are made from chamomile, calendula, lavender, and rose – hand-sown, hand-tended, and hand-harvested on its own certified organic, biodynamic farms in South Australia .
The NEW Biodynamic Beauty Range includes the Biodynamic Beauty Serum, Eye Cream, Refining Treatment, and Night Lotion. Each features a blend of biodynamic and organic herbs and flowers combined with potent naturally derived ingredients that soften the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discolorations while helping to renew and strengthen skin. With continued use, Biodynamic Beauty encourages a smooth, fresh, luminous complexion and invites you to embrace every feature of your unique beauty.
Biodynamic farming can be considered “organic plus,” combining “biological” practices, such as organic methods of soil regeneration and pest management, with “dynamic” practices intended to attune the farm with the natural rhythm and the cycle of the land.
