Korres: Lip Butter, Black Pine Super Eye Serum and Pomegranate Balancing Cream Gel Moisturiser

Ever since trying products from Korres many years ago, I have been hooked on quite a few. I like that their Founders Greek Pharmacist George Korres and Chemical Engineer Lena Korres believe in the potency of using natural ingredients.  

In the summer months, my skin, under eyes and lips get super dry and Korres products (shown above) give me back not only the hydration I so desperately need but also make my skin (pores are minimized), eyes  (show less fatigue) and lips (feel supple) and soft to the touch. I also like that their products, although rich in ingredients, are affordable through both Sephora.com as well as KorresUSA.com.

If you aren't already in love with this brand...I urge you to give them a try as the variety of products they have are extensive (and effective).

Jonathan Van Ness Joins BIOSSANCE as First Celebrity Ambassador

Biossance is a brand I feel is a results driven brand. Their products are filled with essential ingredients that have evened out my skin tone beautifully well. I started to have dry patches and adult acne and their products have helped me immensely. I was so happy to hear the following news...

Biossance’s star ingredient is 100% plant-derived squalane, sourced from sugarcane – a weightless, non-comedogenic oil that replenishes and locks in essential moisture for the skin.

 “I love incorporating skincare that helps me feel and look my best, while also coming from ethical and sustainably sourced places,” says Jonathan Van Ness.  “Since the start of my career in the beauty industry, I have been inspired by companies that blend nature and science to create skincare that helps improve the health of skin and people’s knowledge of what the ingredients really do.

Krigler English Promenade 19: Audrey Hepburn's Favorite Fruity-Floral Scent

I love learning new information and this Saturday, May 4, marks the 90th birthday of Audrey Hepburn—and this year is the 100^th anniversary of her favorite fruity-floral fragrance, Krigler English Promenade 19.

Audrey reportedly first discovered English Promenade 19, when she was filming the movie Roman Holiday in Rome in the early 1950's, though the energizing, intoxicating scent was originally released in 1919. The bold blend boasts notes of orange blossom, juicy grapefruit, jasmine, sweet white musk, neroli and ylang-ylang and was inspired by the French Riviera, where the Krigler family fragrance business was based in the early 1900s. Promenade is a nod to the Promenade des Anglais, a seaside path in Nice.

Today, Audrey’s favorite scent remains one of Krigler’s bestsellers and is available for $385 at krigler.com or at any of the luxury brand’s four global boutiques.
