KISS MIX


Believe it or not, there are beauty brands that I am still discovering.
One brand is Eve Lom. It's known for its facial cleansing oil and muslin cleansing cloths.
But I really like Kiss Mix.
Part lip-balm, part lip shine, I like to wear this "mix" to keep my lips moisturized and to give them a little gloss.

You can pick up your own Kiss Mix at SpaceNK, on Columbus Ave., Soho or at the Short Hills Mall.

Introducing pur~lisse




Meet pur~lisse creator, Jennifer Yen .

Jen started her own line of luxe skincare after her own skin freaked out on her. She was an actress, and says all the heavy makeup really did a number on her complexion. Now her skin is clear and smooth.
I don't want to give away all of pur~lisse's secrets, but I can tell you that the product is made with white tea, sea silk and blue lotus flower.
The product line is exceptionally gentle.
No stinging, no tightness, no burning. Pur-lisse leaves your skin well-hydrated and smooth.
Also, I like the simplicity of the line: cleanse, moisturize. Easy.
If you need extra care, you can use one of two serums.
My favorite products are the cleanser and the moisturizer. The moisturizer is available with or without sunscreen.

Question?


I love trying out new face masks. But I'm always left with the same problem. How to remove the mask, especially when it's a crusty mask, you know, one that hardens. Sometimes I use water. Other times I use a wet washcloth, but then the washcloth is a mess. I've tried using disposable cotton pads, soaked in water, and wet paper towels. I think the paper towels work best. Usually I can wring them out and use the same batch of towels more than once.

*So, how do you remove face masks?*

In other beauty news, I am excited to try out a new high-end skincare line that goes by the name M Lab. So far, so good. I'll keep you posted.
