La Mer The Hand Treatment
Believe me, I’ve been there. Once upon a time, half of my desk was covered with documents, and the other half was covered with lotion bottles in an attempt to cure my dry hands during the workday.
The problem? Many moisturizers leave hands feeling greasy and looking obscenely shiny. La Mer’s "The Hand Treatment" absorbs into the skin in a flash, leaving the hands softer and smoother without any oil slick residue. Aside from the immediate benefits, La Mer’s formula utilizes smart seaweeds to actually attract moisture, providing long-term re-hydration.
So do yourself a favor. Sweep those other lotions into the circular file, and check out La Mer’s Hand Treatment on the La Mer website. It retails for $70… I know, it’s a bit steep. But, this 3.4 oz tube will last quite a while, as you’ll need to use very little product to see results. Looking for another retailer? Shop Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman.
Ideal Valentine’s Day Gift! TINte Cosmetics Shimmer and Shine Box
Open this gorgeous pink box by TINte Cosmetics, and you’ll see nestled in white satin a Flavored Lip Shine in Haute Chocolate (a personal favorite- this gloss actually smells like a steaming mug of hot chocolate), Moisturizing Lip Color in Peppermint (this gloss is vintage styled, in an adorable metal tin that slides open and reveals a lush gorgeous red shade) and Shimmering Face Pearls in Vanilla Sky (ideal for highlighting the cheekbones, or adding glimmer to your favorite gloss). The included petite shadow/lip brush makes the set complete.
When I was about 14, my parents replaced my usual Easter Basket with an Obsession perfume gift set. Ever the beauty addict, I was naturally thrilled with this very chic and very grown-up gift. When I opened the TINte Shimmer and Shine Box, I immediately thought it would make such a fantastic surprise for a young woman who expects nothing the typical box of chocolate candy for Valentine’s Day.
Click HERE to check out the new Shimmer and Shine Box in TINte’s online shop. The beautiful pick package contains $53 of product, but retails for only $35!

Nude Skincare Facial Scrub
Eternally in search of a way to gently exfoliate, my quest naturally lead to the path of nude skincare. Believe it or not, the founder of nude is also the founder of Fresh & Wild, an amazingly popular organic grocery in the UK. While shopping around for natural beauty products to stock his stores, he found it difficult to find luxe lines that were made with healthy ingredients.
About nude: All nude formulas are biocompatible– in other words, they are specifically formulated to work with the skin naturally. nude formulas preserve the skin’s acid mantle, to ensure the skin’s natural defenses are left in-tact. nude product is free of parabens, sulphates, PEGs, propylene glycol, TEA, DEA, phthalates, mineral oil, silicones, GM and potential carcinogens (whew!)
nude’s facial scrub feels incredibly rich, and incredibly gentle. But don’t let the gentle texture fool you… it’s quite effective. After only a couple of uses, your skin will look more radiant and fresh. Even the packaging is cool. Look at the image in this post. Doesn’t it look like the skyline of an extremely chic and modern city? Who wouldn’t want these adorning their vanity? These jars aren’t only attractive, they’re completely recyclable, made of 40% post industrial recycled plastic and printed with non-toxic inks using green energy. The company itself is even carbon neutral! Amazing!
nude facial scrub retails for £28.00 on the nude skincare website. Shopping stateside? nude is available at Barneys and Whole Foods Markets.
