After a fun and super-efficient workout (30-mins flat) at Power Plate yesterday, I woke up in the middle of the night already feeling sore. Needless to say, I'm out of shape. But a morning soak with Ole Henriksen's sea salt and eucalyptus blend did wonders for my fatigued muscles. I think the workouts and the tub soaks should become a regular part of my routine.

Despite being just a tad bit messy (if you're not careful) this two-zone mask product is pretty darn fabulous. It's basically an ultra-luxe, at-home facial treatment that leaves the face silky smooth and moisturized in eight minutes flat. (I almost made it the entire eight minutes without checking my iPhone... almost.) So it's also a good excuse to force yourself to lay down and chill for a few while the Creme de la Mer works its magic.
They don't skimp on the moisturizer, which is why you have to be careful unwrapping, applying, and removing the masks. And even on the most dehydrated skin (mine), there was still plenty of product left over to be massaged into the face. I'm kicking myself now for tossing the masks so hastily afterward, instead of rubbing it on my arms or something before I tossed them. Anyway, here's the scoop on the patented hydrating formula...
Just received my press sample of BADgal Brown from Benefit cosmetics and it's fab, as expected. I've been a longtime fan of BADgal Plum and BADgal Blue
, and I'm happy to report that this latest incarnation is just as good. I'm glad to have a choice between shades and lucky that all of the hues work well with my eye color and skin tone. Beauty Cabinet Tip: Replace mascara every three months otherwise the tube will become a petri dish for nasty bacteria.
I've been using these products for a couple of weeks now and L.O.V.E. How does one become so smitten with a shampoo and conditioner you ask? It's simple. My hair feels and looks amazing. Plus, the formulations are free of sulfates, parabens and silicone. Key ingredients are apricot kernal and sunflower oils. Buy them at Kiehl's or wherever Kiehl's is sold.
I've been a Kiehl's devotee for over a decade now. I know that's not much considering the brand has been around since 1851, but I am still a long-time customer and have turned many friends and family members onto the brand. The Rare Earth collection is among the new formulations and after checking out lab samples of the masque and lotion, I'm hooked. Also launching today is the Kiehl's Imperial Body Balm.

A few weeks ago I reviewed the Montana Ave. Jurlique Spa in Santa Monica. The facial treatment was fantastic and of course I left with a bag full of products, among them this great finishing powder. Buy it at Jurlique.com
