Ba-Bye Acne: Introducing Dermalogica’s CLEAR START Line

by

clear start dermalogica

The ultra hip and fun spot for kids of all ages in midtown east, Dylan’s Candy Bar, was the location where Dermalogica introduced to digital media the completely reformulated line of acne products for teens, dubbed CLEAR START. There’s no doubt in my mind that no single soul on earh wants acne to linger, so Dermalogica has devised eight great products that prevent and treat at every stage. It all starts with a good wash, moisture, and possibly even touching up throughout the day with some toner or a spot treatment.

Active ingredients include an effective dose of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, along with botanicals to hydrate, fight bacteria, and soothe, such as rosemary, sunflower, licorice and cucumber extracts, lavender, tea tree, orange, and camillia. The new items can be sampled via a travel size break out clearing kit ($38), comprised of five items, or purchased individually in full sized tubes. Although I’m not a teen anymore, I can still tote around the Breakout Clearing Emergency Spot Fix, when pesky zits pop up at the most inconvenient of times. Ranging from $19-$25 each, you can shop the CLEAR START line now at Dermalogica.com and approved retailers, just in time for back-to-school season!

Marc Jacobs Beauty launches today!!! The collection of 122 products, ranging in price from $18-$78, hit Sephora and select Marc Jacobs stores today, so you know I had to make it a priority to  stop in! The concealer and foundations were light and creamy, with great color selections, the nail polishes possessed a perfect opaque, and the lipsticks 
(referred to as Lip Gels) were plumping with pigmented, but approachable hues.  I bought two items, but could tell that other people had the same idea, as some of the lipsticks and polishes were already sold out! The incredible packaging of the products, based on the polished look of an art deco coffee tablet he designer has in his home.
Jacobs proves his commitment to the line by already going ahead and opening his first beauty store, located at 385 Bleecker street, at the site of his former accessories store.  You can also shop his fragrances there (I am addicted to pretty much all of them), along with the designer’s other lines in the nearby shops next door and across the street.
Which item from the new Marc Jacobs Beauty collection are you dying to try?

Fashion designer Jason Wu, who most notably dressed the First Lady and did a capsule collection with Target, will launch a limited edition color cosmetics line with Lancôme, debuting during this September’s New York Fashion Week! There will be 15 items, from $15-$49, and will be a Nordstrom exclusive, except in NYC, where it will be carried at Bergdorf Goodman, and at that, only 120 Lancôme locations/counters will have it! We wish we had pics to share, but in the meanwhile, will just have to envision what the line will look like; touted to include navy mascara (a favorite of mine!), red lipsticks, and a five-pan eye shadow palette.

The Wallet of My Dreams

A wallet purchase is a very personal decision; at least for me, it must meet specific criteria, as it is something that is used multiple times per day, every day, until it’s either lost or   falls apart. It’s much like a wedding ring or cell phone — it will constantly be on hand, no matter where you are or what you’re doing.  I actually have a wallet “graveyard;” a drawer in which the contents include various knick knacks, with wallets that have been given to me as gifts and just aren’t up to par for the needs that I have.

Those needs: must be small enough to fit into a zippered wallet or cell phone pouch in all of my handbags, must have some sort of pouch or zippered compartment, a bright, easy-to-spot color for ease of quickly finding it in a handbag, and plenty of space for my various credit, gift, and business cards, and oh yeah; it should be sleek, look and be  well-made, and stylish!  To me, it doesn’t seem like too much to ask for, but the hunt for this ‘dream’ wallet has been ongoing for a year, leaving my current wallet in a state of decrepit decay, too embarrassing to even display a photo of its status.

Luckily, it has finally been found! I first saw the Henri Bendel Studded Mini Wallet ($98) at a press preview, and waited with baited breathe until it came out in-store and online this past week. Available in three colors, it measures in at a cool 3.25×3.25″, meets all of my requirements, and has a cowhide leather, soft pebble effect finish.  It’s absolutely stunning, and I’m anticipating it will wear quite well, and I might even pick up the the matching Henri Bendel Carlyle Tote or Carlyle Small Barrel Bag!
