Rock-N-Rebel is the new fragrance from Flirt! (available now in at Kohl’s).

I was invited to try the fragrance before it went out to the masses, and I’m in love with it.

(No, I’m not just saying that…)

It has hints of apple nectar, pink grapefruit, and white lotus blossom. The scent is fun and flirty (no pun intended); but more importantly, makes you feel light and sex-a-licious.

So, why The Veronicas? Well the famous pop group are not just famous for their music & for creating all of their own costumes & makeup; but, they recently launched a cosmetics line as part of their Rock-N-Rebel debut.

GlamourCow: Dance Your Acne Away

EnpointeReviews.jpgOne thing I’ve noticed since moving to New York 3 years ago, is that my ‘old skin care’ products weren’t cutting it out here (breakouts, dry flaky skin, uneven skin tone, etc…).

For the last couple of years I have, systematically, been trying to find a skin care product that can keep up with the gritty streets on New York.

I was recently given a chance to try Dr. Christine Rodgers, En Pointe Skin Solutions.

Dr. Christine Rodgers, is a plastic surgeon, as well as breast cancer survivor; the women she met in her field, as well in her time of duress, inspired her start the skin care line.

En Pointe is formulated to respond to our skins stressors that contribute to lines, pigmentation, redness & irritation.

The product line looks girly & whimsical, as Dr. Rodgers has a life-long passion for ballet (hence the name), her story made me want to try; the packaging did not.

I tried the Balancé cleanser and toner.

First thing I noticed is that both the cleanser/toner have yummy smells.

(I’ve mentioned before, I LOVE products that smell like I could eat them.)

The Cleanser which contains cinnamon bark extract, cranberry extract, lactic acid and shea butter, got my skin super clean (no makeup/dirt residue) and didn’t dry me out, which was an added bonus.

What I really loved, was that after only 5 days of using the product, I saw a big difference in my skin.

In fact, I actually had a few budding imperfections pre-product usage, and now they are gone.

(This is all without me having to apply zit zapper-type products (you know you have some, we all do).

The toner which also contains the cranberry extract along with ginger root extract and ginseng extract is very soothing, but effective.

This means I didn’t have to hold my breathe well using an alcoholic-smelling toner that causes that wonderful my-skin-is-burning-off-my-face-feeling.

Another big plus is that both products help to remove ‘sebum‘, the oily matter that clogs out pores, and gives us blackheads & acne. Knowing this, the Esthetician in me smiled!

I totally recommend the Balancé line, and should be used if you have a normal to oily skin.

Price?

Retails between $32-$35 and can be found on their site or at Derm Store.

GlamourCow:Amore Pacific In SoHo

AmorePacificSoHo.jpgI’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: To a Makeup Artist, skin care is #1 on our list of things to keep up with. After all, the skin is our canvas, therefore if you skin isn’t 100% at it’s best, neither is our work.

Now, a lot of people don’t believe in getting facials on a regular basis. There are the excuses: i.e. “too busy“, “too pricey“, “washing 2x a time is enough“, etc…

Well, guess what?

That’s crap.

Just like your house needs a thorough cleaning, so does your skin.

Now, you can go to any local day spa and get your basic facial, but be warned: depending on who is doing the facial and what products they are using, it might not be much help.

I was recently invited to Amore Pacific in Soho for a facial using their Moisture Bound line. I’ve only heard good things about Amore Pacific, but hadn’t tried their products till then.

Like most people in NYC, my skin gets all dry and flakey during the winter, so the Moisture Bound line seemed like a good thing to try.

Located on Spring St between Greene and Mercer, Amore Pacific serves as both a retail shop and a spa in the back. The facial rooms are ultra relaxing with comfortable beds and a semi-separate changing area.

My Esthetician, Sylwia Gorzkowska, was fantastic. After doing the regular skin cleansing, she assessed my skin and came up with a facial that left my skin super soft and smooth; it was amazing.

By using the following products, Sylwia was able to help keep my skin hydrated when I needed it most:

Cleanser: Treatment Cleansing Foam
Toner: Treatment Toner
Exfoliater: Treatment Enzyme Peel
Moisturizer: Oil-Free Hydra GelEye Creme: Intensive Vitalizing Eye Complex
Masque: Vitalizing Masque and Clarifying Masque
Facial Spritz: Skin Energy Spray

Since I’m pretty selective with facials (being an licensed Esthetician myself), believe when I say that I will being visiting this place again come spring time to get my skin in shape for the summer months.

GlamourCow: Cheap & Cheerful Nails

MilaniNails.jpg

From GlamourCow.com

Ahh, The Holidays…

That special time a year where you find yourself running around party-hopping, last minute shopping, and making sure you are properly primped while take over the world.

And lets face it girls (and guys) nothing ruins a look more than horrid looking nails.

You know what I’m talking about: You spend 20-35 mins gets your nails to the glossy best, only to see them chipped and cracked a few days later.

Well, I was very surprised when that DIDN’T happen to me, using Milani’s Nail Laquer.
(Yes, Milani, as in the cheapee drugstore find.)

Last week, I was getting ready to make the 3 hour treck to Washington D.C. for Thanksgiving & one of the must-do’s was a mani.

Instead of picking a color at the local salon I brought my own, “Ms. Milani“, a very pretty metallic sliver, perfect for the Holiday season.

After successfully making it through the first of the family get-togethers, I noticed that after 4 (almost 5) days later, there was not a chip in site. My Nails still looked pretty damn awesome.

Even better, after DC, I made a pit-stop over in my hometown Billings, M.T. (that’s Montana for all of you born & raised N.Y.ers) While visiting the homestead a few of my cousins and sisters where raving about my nail color & we ended up busting out both the “Ms. Milani” and “Garnet Gems” and doing a little mani session in my Grandparents kitchen!

It’s crazy cheap @ $4.50, which is half the price (and just as good as) Essie.
