On a rainy afternoon earlier this week, I headed to Milos for a Beauty Brunch that was hosted by my friend and Social Media Director, Michelle Joni Lapidos of Spa Week - also make sure to check out their blog as well. The brunch allowed attendees to sit and chat skincare with Miami Beach based Dermatologist, Dr Loretta who has her own practice, a skincare line in her own name as well as a line that does private label for various spas. For those that follow Kitten Lounge on Facebook, you saw a number of my videos popping up talking about how gum (sugarless free is suggested) is great to keep your neck muscles firm, her skincare's innovation with stem cells that contain lavendar as well as other information regarding African Americans and the types of peels that they should use. The video above shares why we should apply new beauty products to only half of our face as they are done during clinical trials! It's a great way of seeing how well the product works for you and what results you can expect to see - a novel idea and one that we should always remember to do!
In addition to a fabulous lunch, we were able to have many of our skincare issues answered as well as to test a number of products within the Dr Loretta line including Age Change Daily Moisturizer (includes SPF 30+ which is perfect to use day and night), Age Change Body (which is great for all skin types and allows your skin to glow) and Age Change Eye (which lessens dark circles, bags and puffiness and protects the thin skin that is around the eye area). These can be purchased individually OR you can select the Age Change Kit which allows you to receive the Age Change Body for free when you purchase the Age Change Eye as well as the Age Change Face (which is the daily moisturizer).
It's time to prep your skin and to boost up your beauty routine as well! This can be done by a few of my favorite products including Soap & Glory (Flake Away Body Polish), Dr Loretta (Youth Full Lip), Sibu Beauty (Exfoliating Scrub and Mask), Avon (ANEW Genics Eye) and L'Occitane (Cellulite Almond Lotion). Together these items will ensure that you're properly exfoliated and having smooth skin.
Find out why I love Palmer's Cocoa Butter, Dr Loretta's Lavendar Milk and Duo Cleanse as well as Stila Lip Glaze. On my recent trip being on HSN, I brought along my favorites as skincare is very important as well as picked up a tip from HSN's make up artist!
Sundays are all about brunch even during NYFW! So I was super excited to head over to Yotel Hotel earlier this morning/afternoon to cover the backstage of Cesar Galindo (he designs for Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. collection) for his personal label, Czar as well as a number of additional designers who showcased their work! Backstage, I saw Dr Loretta's product at work! Having great skincare enhances and maintains the dynamic looks that come across the stage. I am a big believer in using them day and night so seeing them incorporated into the show and seeing the ease of use was perfect! Tomorrow, I will meet Dr Loretta herself and will share more information about this product and why it's a must have in your makeup routine. Simply put as the teaser for tomorrow - it's all about a great foundation!
While I hung out backstage, I got the opportunity to hang out with the Supermodel above, Lu Sierra (she has walked all the major fashion cities, is a walking coach for Miss USA and Miss Universe, has appeared on a number of shows assisting women such as Kendell Jenner from Keeping Up With the Kardashians and so much more) who has phenomenal skin, a sweet disposition and had a walk that made you excited about all things fashion! Dresses in Czar she had a fabulous kimono on with a number of colors that looked so decadent - fab show opener. She also closed the show with this phenomenal strapless dress with a gorgeous train. In addition, Eva of America's Next Top Model walked the show as well. On the lower right hand corner, Cesar is watching Eva adjust her look before she gets her picture taken and heads into the model line.
