La Prairie adds new face cream to luxury caviar range

The luxury Lifestyle blog (the home of luxury Lifestyle) presents La Prairie adds new face cream to luxury caviar range.

 
La Prairie has added a new product to its Système Éclat Caviar Nacré beauty collection in the shape of Crème Hydratante Éclat Caviar Nacré.

Made using extracts of liquorice root and watercress with a dash of golden caviar, the new cream is aimed at mature skins and is designed to even out skin pigmentation and target discoloration for a younger appearance. In addition to lending the skin a firmer and plumper appearance, the product aims to delay any future signs of aging.

The cream promotes an even skintone by reducing the effects of tyrosinase, an enzyme which triggers discoloration deep in the skin. New technology also combats and controls the production of melatonin in the skin, while the hydrating formula claims to leave skin glowing and plump.

Crème Hydratante Éclat Caviar Nacré launches on May 11 and will be available for €423 for 50ml.

Brands like the Mandarin Oriental and Clinique La Prairie were among the big winners at an awards night honoring the best in luxury spa and wellness destinations around the world.

f you’re planning a spa vacation abroad, take cues from the results of the World Spa & Wellness Awards 2014 presented in London this week, where the industry handed out 11 awards that singled out the best regional hotel and spa destinations around the world.

Meanwhile, a spa that claims to be the first medical spa in Brazil also emerged a big winner, taking the award for destination spa of the year for North and South America.

Founded in 1972, the Lapinha Spa is set across 550 acres of farmland in the municipality of Lapa and bases its therapies on the ‘healing power’ of the natural environment. Wellness treatments include anti-smoking, detox, weight loss and relaxation.

Dior’s J’Adore Unleashed by Jean-Michel Othoniel

French artist Jean-Michel Othoniel was a guest artist at the House of Dior, invited to provide his vision of the iconic J’adore bottle.

Othoniel took inspiration from the “En huit” lines of the amphora. For this bottle, he called on the ancestral and unique know-how of the Murano glassmakers in Italy.

Each step in every hand blown bottle is as technical as it is detailed. The J’adore necklace is reinterpreted thanks to the spun glass technique, and is set delicately on the body of the bottle.

The artist wanted the necklace to be undone, creating the idea of freedom. The wire and the bead that decorate the bottle contain gold leaf. In the molten glass, they take up a different position in every bottle!

Three hundred of the handblown Murano glass bottles are available world-wide for the asking price of $3,500 (which includes three 15-milliliter refills).

Louis Vuitton confirm perfume debut

The luxury Lifestyle blog (the home of luxury Lifestyle) presents Louis Vuitton confirm perfume debut.

 
Louis Vuitton has confirmed its entrance into the realm of fragrance, with master perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud heading up the scent development.

The news is significant considering the French fashion house has not marketed any perfumes since the 1920s and ’30s.

It signals another expansion following the brand’s ventures into watches in 2002, fine jewelry in 2004 and eyewear in 2005.

Cavallier-Belletrud has officially started work with the brand, although there is not yet a date for release as the perfumer will be taking his time to find the perfect scents.

Cavallier-Belletrud “is said to be a specialist in using natural, raw materials,” while Louis Vuitton “has recently been investigating rare, almost-extinct flowers in France.”

The upcoming fragrance will eventually be distributed exclusively in Louis Vuitton’s 461 boutiques worldwide.

Cavallier-Belletrud’s past work includes L’Eau d’Issey, Dior Addict, Poeme by Lancôme and Stella by Stella McCartney.

Fatten Up Skinny Strands

In beauty, the grass always seems a bit greener on the other side. Women with straight hair wish for curly cues and those with a head full of spirals want just the opposite. What’s a girl with fine, flat hair to do? Wish for a thicker mane? Maybe. Or she can embrace her locks and follow these simple tricks from Celebrity Stylist, Tippi Shorter, on how to fake the fluff.

Start in the shower

“I believe in building your foundation in the shower,” Shorter states. Thickening and volumizing shampoos and conditioners boost fine hair by expanding the diameter of each strand. Bottom line: While some work better than others, if it’s vavava volume you’re after, it’s important to make sure you’re not using a shampoo or conditioner that will weigh your hair down. Our picks: Nioxin Cleanser for Fine Hair and Redken Body Full Shampoo and Conditioner.

Get a mousse boost

A little spritz of root volumizer and a dollop of mousse goes a long way. After towel drying your hair, spray a root lifter like Living Proof Full Root Lifting Spray right onto your roots and massage the formula into your scalp with your fingers. Then, Shorter suggests applying “a golf ball sized amount” of a lightweight mousse like L’Oreal Paris Studio Body Builder Mousse to the left and right side of your head from roots to ends.

Make gravity your BFF

Flip your head upside down and rough dry your hair (quickly move the blowdryer back and forth throughout your strands) to allow for any excess moisture to escape. “You want gravity to help start the fullness,” explains Shorter. Finish by flipping your head right-side-up and using a large round brush to smooth ends and add maximum fullness.

Stick with velcro rollers

Once dry, add a few Velcro rollers to the top section of your hair in one-inch sections for an added boost (four or five should do the trick). Leave them in while you do your makeup.  Take them out just before you’re ready to walk out the door, and give your strands a quick shake.

Fast Help For Dry Skin

Raise your hand if your skin feels tight and uncomfortable after showering. Is your hand up? Yeah, mine too. And what about flakes and itchiness? Are those annoyances you’re putting up with as well? Thought so. Welcome to the season of dry skin, and you’re experiencing all of its un-pleasantries. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. With the help of skin-saving dermatologists Dr. Arielle Kauvar, Dr. Dennis Gross and Dr. Alex A. Khadavi, we’ll get to the bottom of your winter skin issues, and share handy tips on how to rescue your skin from dryness.

Why skin becomes dry in the winter:

Before we can solve any problem we first have to know what’s causing it. According to Gross, “Skin produces less oil in the winter due to the absence of sun light and heat…resulting in dry skin.” And, “there is less humidity in winter air…[which] causes moisture to evaporate off our skin,” he says.

But, it’s not just our environment that’s to blame. “Bathing too frequently with hot water and harsh soaps,” says Kauvar, are also common dry skin culprits.

When combined, the factors listed above are responsible for irritating our skin barrier. And, when “the skin barrier becomes perturbed, we need to aggressively moisturize to help get it back into shape,” says Khadavi. Here’s how to do that…

Top 10 tips for soothing dry skin from head to toe:

Tip 1: Look for quality moisturizers. They should contain “humectants (ingredients that draw water in like glycerin, hyaluronic acid) and emollients which are oils and lipids (like mineral oil, shea butter and ceramides) that seal the moisture in and help keep a protective barrier on the surface of the skin,” says Kauvar. Try Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion.

Tip 2: After showering, “keep the bathroom door closed to preserve the steam. Gently towel dry your body and apply moisturizer to skin that is saturated,” says Gross.

Tip 3: “Avoid long hot showers and baths which cause skin to dehydrate,” says Kauvar. And, “use a creamy cleanser instead of a harsh soap,” she says. Try Kiehl’s Crème de Corps Nurturing Body Washing Cream.

Tip 4: “Put moisturizer on the skin before you shower, it will shield the skin from drying up,” says Khadavi. Post showering, pat your skin dry and reapply.

Tip 5: Use “lip balms mixed with gentle exfoliators to remove the dry skin,” says Gross. They will keep lips hydrated, he says. Try Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Exfoliating Lip Salvation.

Tip 6: If you’re prone to dry, chapped hands, “avoid using alcohol-based antibacterial hand sanitizers that dry out the skin,” says Kauvar. And, “always apply a generous amount of moisturizer immediately after washing hands,” she adds.

Tip 7: If you have really dry areas, put moisturizer on those spots and wrap your skin with Saran wrap before bed. Leave it on overnight. This will recreate a barrier that will allow your body to repair itself, says Khadavi. Sounds weird, but it works!

Tip 8: To ditch flakes, skin should be “gently exfoliated ([use a] microdermabrasion brush, bead scrub), and a moisturizer should be applied immediately after exfoliation,” says Kauvar.

Tip 9: For thick, dry skin on areas like your elbows and knees, use salicylic or lactic acid-infused products. “Thicker skin generally needs a chemical exfoliant,” says Khadavi. Try Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Daily Body Peel.

Tip 10: If your face feels dry, but is breakout prone, soothe your skin with a “moisturizer that is labeled oil free. These lotions increase the water content of skin without adding extra oil, so they won’t aggravate or cause acne. Start by applying the moisturizer once a day and then trade up to twice daily if you need it,” says Gross. Try Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream.

Beauty Tipping Etiquette

When it comes to expressing your beauty gratitude, your manner of tipping speaks volumes—especially if you want that same hot haircut again or you want to be able to saunter into the spa unannounced for an emergency facial in the future. Here are some general guidelines and tips (not of the monetary variety) from the pros:

Haircuts or style services: 20-30%

Celebrity hair stylist Ted Gibson says, “I think tipping is a way to thank your stylist for great service. I say 20 percent is standard but if you love your new haircut and color, up to 30 percent is amaze.”

Mike Petrizzi, celebrity colorist at De Berardinis Hair Salon in Chelsea, New York says, “Most of my clients tip 15-20 percent of the color service price. Of course, some clients are extremely generous and I always make sure to take extra good care of them.”

Manicures: At least 20% (preferably in cash)

When celebrity Nail Stylist Tracylee had her own salon, almost all her customers tipped 20 percent and some even brought her coffee or lunch as a genuine sign of their appreciation.

Makeup application: 10-25%

According to Betsy Briggs Cathcart of Studio BBC Salon, a “tip” means “to insure promptness.” Don’t tip if your artist is continually running more than 30 minutes behind, always complaining or gossiping.

Kelli Bartlett, Product Specialist at MAC Times Square advises customers to “ask the cashier what the store’s policy on tipping is when your service is complete. I usually bring 20 percent of the service charge in cash, just in case I can’t tip with my card.”

Facials: 15-20%

Cheryl Anne Katz, founder of Lazur La Vie Day Spa  in Nyack, NY, advises customers to be aware of various tipping practices because of the current economy. While a 20 percent was formerly standard, “the most recent scenario of constrained beauty economics has driven aesthetic tipping down even further,” she says. “A tip of 20 percent on undiscounted, pre-coupon pricing and a ceiling of $20/per hour tip at the high end should be sufficient.”

4 Tricks to Make It Look Like You Slept Nine Hours

The best way to look rested is (drumroll, please…) actually getting nine hours of sleep! When that’s not possible—and when is it, really?—here’s how the experts fake it.

Try a Morning Mist

Celebrity makeup artist Molly Stern was recently at an event with singer/actress Mandy Moore at 3 a.m. Not a typo. The first thing she reached for—after her double shot of espresso—was a hydrating mist. “Not only does it open up your capillaries and get the blood flowing, but there’s a refreshing aromatherapy element too,” she says. For maximum awakening benefits, spritz your face and allow the liquid to soak in for at least two minutes.

Give Yourself a Massage

Puffy eyes are caused by pooled tears, and while propping your head on a plush pillow may prevent them from forming, Los Angeles dermatologist Tony Nakhla offers this simple self-massage for whisking the renegade bags away: 1) Rake your fingertips (the pads of your fingers, not your nails) from the inner, lower eyelids outward toward the temples, 2) Continue the stroke down the temples, over the cheeks and down the neck, and 3) Repeat three to five times.

Hit the Highlighter

A shimmery highlighter can do wonders anytime of day, but especially at 7 a.m. (when you haven’t had your coffee yet). “Highlighter gives sunlight and artificial light something to grab onto and brightens the whole face,” Stern says. She likes patting sheer cream formulas below the outer corners of the eyes, right along the top of the cheekbones. If you don’t have a highlighter handy, any light eye shadow will do.

Embrace Bold Blush

Bright blush can feel and look a little scary in the cold light of morning, but according to Stern, it’s really a life-saver. “I say the brighter the better—a poppy peach or a reddish tone both look great swirled on the apples of the cheeks. It just gives you that natural lively glow.”
