Spaaaaaaah: Zelen's Shiso Detox Infusion

Remember when Zelen's first launched in the US and I fell hard for the pretty packaging and exorbitant price tag? Now I love them even more because they make tea. Tea and Magazine being my favorite pastime I now adore Zelens even more. Still, this is not just any tea. It is...

1. the only tea sold by Bliss - which automatically makes it my fav.
2. also counted as skin care (shiso leaves contain powerful vitamins and minerals to internally fight pollutants, helping to detoxify the body, cleanse it from accumulated toxins, and prepare the way for healthier and more radiant skin!)
3. made using the finest Traditional Japanese Kampo medicine
4. harnessing the power of the shiso mint leaf as a potent anti-oxidant, anti inflammatory and anti–allergenic agent.
5. crazy expensive which makes me believe it's working. I know, I'm a snob.
6. making my skin look effing fantastic even as we speak and it's yummy.

Price: $50.00, available at Bliss Spas, Space NK and Zelens.com

Beauty's Product: Zelens Radical Defense Serum

I have an odd fascination with Zelens Skincare. Perhaps this fascination comes from the quirky handwriting which cheerfully exclaims "bliss catalogue exclusive!" each time I commune with said catalogue. Maybe it's because the astronomically expensive price tags leads me to believe every single claim neatly typed on the green bottle's packaging. Maybe its because Anouska Hempel, the internationally renowned hotelier and socialite is the mastermind behind Zelens’ sleek and sophisticated packaging, as well as the Blakes Hotels and the Louis Vuitton flagship store in Paris. Does it give me confidence on the cream inside the bottle knowing that it and the Louis Vuitton Flagship store emerge from the same brilliant mind? Perhaps.

Truthfully my attention is captured by these hypnotic beauty bells and whistles, but what's inside the bottle is the real hypnotist's charm. Zelen's new Radical Defense Serum is a highly potent antioxidant serum which provides protection against all types of damaging free radicals (ROS, RNS and RCS), and environmental factors (UV radiation, smoking, alcohol, stress and air pollutants). The synergistic formulation of natural antioxidants includes Shiso - the latest leaf in botanical skin care miracles. This Botanica Japonica has long inspired sushi restaurant names and gastronomical happiness alike and is now preventing and repairing visible signs of premature skin aging. Amazing.

Price: $200.00, available at Bliss and SpaceNK

Beauty's Product: Zelens Skin Science from Bliss

I started this blog with a trip to Bliss San Francisco and I've become quite obsessed with getting Bliss-ed out whenever I can. Remember my fab pedi-colada at Bliss LA? Now these beauty wizards are introducing Zelens Skin Science, a skin care line created by plastic surgeons but based on the principles of Japanese Herbal Medicine. Sounds ingenious no? What do you all think? Would you try this line?
