Shopping

I really love a cool, quirky smartphone case, and simply couldn’t resist the cheeky lineup of options from Valfré, the accessory and apparel line created by Ilse Valfre. ($28-$38 each).  For my iPhone 6, options ranged from hard to silicone cases with an alert-looking black cat, to a pop-tart inspired case, with sassy phrases and original illustrations. My two favorites, pictured above, are pretty self-explanatory ( I mean, a “shell phone?” How cute is that!), but rest assured, they are most definitely destined to become conversation-starters!

Dillard’s first-ever private label beauty brand, EDGE Beauty, has arrived! The initial lineup includes products for lips, eyes and cheeks, featuring the Iconic Lipstick (pictured, and my favorite!), Iconic Lip Gloss (also pictured), Lip Liners, Eye Liners, Mascara, Blush, Bronzer, and Eyeshadow palettes, priced from $16-$38.  The items will be available inside of the aptly name The EDGE Beauty boutiques at 121 Dillard’s locations nationwide, as well as online. What makes these products special is the sophisticated packaging and high quality formulations that provide lasting wear in colors complimentary for a variety of complexions.

How cute is this?! Available exclusively at BaubleBar.com through the end of December, this fully blinged out Vaseline jar ($45) was inspired by some of the jewelry brand’s most popular styles, and features iridescent crystals, as you can see, all over. It’s sure to make a statement every time you need a dose of Vaseline relief, and if I were you, I’d keep refilling it in order to have it around longer than a jar’s worth of Vaseline (around my home, it goes fast!).

Now there’s even more to look forward to from Nanette Lepore; handbags and watches! Two lines have recently been created – the Nanette Lepore signature line, and the lower-priced, slightly younger Nanette Nanette Lepore vegan leather collections of watches and handbags. Both are infused with the brand’s spirited approach to fashion, with silhouettes that are feminine, colors that are bold, and styles that melt together the concepts of vintage inspiration with modern tastes. I enjoyed the sneak peek at the collections (see some of my favorites, pictured above), which you can expect to be hitting major retailers nationwide (such as Macy’s and Lord & Taylor) and on NanetteLepore.com around February 2016.

Over the past few months, I’ve tried several of GROH’s products, a luxe science-driven beauty, health, and wellness brand that revolves around its usage of ergothioneine, an antioxidant ingredient sourced from mushrooms and Vitamin D, creating its signature Ergo Boost^TM Complex. The result is a line of anti-aging products, working alongside other essential oils (sweet almond, lemon peel, rosemary, and argan oils) to deliver nutrients in order to promote healthy skin, scalp, hair, nails, and lashes.

Depending upon your needs and lifestyle, you can choose from among a Hair & Scalp Conditioning Treatment ($59; there’s also a hair pro-treatment, which can be administered in fine salons, such as Red Door locations), Daily Replenishing Supplements ($39), a Skin Repair Treatment ($42), or my personal favorite, the Skin Recharge Cleansing Bar (2 bars/$22). The products can be used together, and work to increase shine, reduce inflammation, strengthen and stimulate growth, and overall contribute to your well-being.  Pretty great, right? You can shop these items at mygroh.com & select fine salons nationwide.
