Review: Tilth Beauty

 

If you haven't already heard of it, it's time you were introduced to Tilth Beauty  .  Tilth Beauty is a phenomenal line of skincare products, whose name is derived from the life-giving properties of the earth itself.  Founder and CEO, Anthony Vargas has spent decades researching, and working in skincare industry.  He has created a line that contains potent blends of botanical and industry proven ingredients without any potentially harmful elements often found in other skincare products.  Tilth Beauty does not use parabens, phthalates, sulfates, petroleum based silicons, synthetic fragrances or GMO's, animal/dairy derived products of artificial colors. 

 

I had the opportunity to work with two of their products:

 

Retail: $38.00 

 

First up was Gentle Poppy Seed Exfoliator:

 

I have sensitive skin that is often on the dry side, and I found this exfoliator to work really well. I used it once every other day or so, and its beads weren't hard or rough on my skin.  But what I liked best about it was its versatility. Since it comes in a powder form, you have the option of either just adding water, or mixing it to your current cleanser. I loved this aspect of it because I was able to continue using it, regardless of which cleanser I used.  This was great because if I needed to switch cleansers due to blemishes or better make up removal, I was able to do so easily and still exfoliate.  It always left my skin feeling smoother after use, and it never caused irritation or redness.

 

Contents include:

 

Zea Mays (Yellow Corn) Kernel Meal ‐ Natural physical exfoliator, dense and coarse, from yellow corn.

 

Phoenix Dactylifera (Date) Seed ‐ Natural physical exfoliator.

 

Papaver Somniferum (Poppy) Seed ‐ Natural physical exfoliator.

 

Jojoba Esters ‐ Smooth spheres which deliver jojoba emolliency and active ingredients directly to the skin.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

$62.00 

Next was the Flawless Serum: 

 

 This I applied after cleansing and loved the lightweight formula.  It absorbed incredibly fast and left my skin feeling soothed and refreshed.  I noticed my skin began to have a moist, dewy look after several uses (which was a first for me).  It also aims to help fight anti-aging and promote the appearance of firm skin.  (While I can't yet test it's anti aging results) I will say this: It certainly gave my skin a more supple, heathier appearance and I will continue to use it!

 

 

 

Contents include:

 

Retinol (Encapsulated) – Stable retinol to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and restore the look of UV damaged skin. Improves the appearance of skin elasticity by 20% and the appearance of wrinkles is diminished by up to 17% after 12 weeks. 

 

Myrtle Leaf Extract (Hydrolyzed Myrtus Communis (Myrtle) Leaf Extract) – Significantly reduces the appearance of the number of wrinkles and length of wrinkles, a genuine cell energizer and guardian of skin longevity, limits the degeneration of the skins appearance and reduces first signs of aging. 

 

Adaptonyl® (Withania Somnifera (Indian Ginseng) Root Extract) – Known to energize cells, helps maintain the barrier function; Soothing, calming, antioxidant and collagen protector that allows maintaining the appearance of skin flexibility. 

 

 

 

 Have you heard Tilth Beauty?  Does it sound like a brand you might like to try?

 

 

butter LONDON Plays Up Punk: Chaos to Couture for the 2013 Costume Institute Gala

 

butter LONDON Nail Lacquer was the must have accessory for Emmy Rossum and Giuliana Rancic as they hit the red carpet for the 2013 Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Katie Hughes, butter LONDON Global Colour Ambassador, worked with both of the ladies to create their nail looks for the evening, each which played up the nights theme of “Punk: Chaos to Couture.”

 

 

 

 

Emmy Rossum

 

The Scoop: Inspired by her soft, billowing Donna Karan dress, Katie created elegant yet edgy nail art for Emmy using extra pieces of lace – the same fabric from which her dress was created – supplied by Donna Karan.The designer also supplied Emmy with individual crystals,also used on her dress, to help enhance her nail look, adding a bit of punk rocker edge.

Get the Look:

· Katie began by painting Emmy’s nails with two coats of butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in Yummy Mummy followed by a layer of butter LONDON P.D. Quick Top Coat.

· She then cut individual pieces of lace to perfectly cover Emmy’s nails and placed them down on the wet nails, letting the lace dry on top of the nail.

· Once the nails were dry, Katie placed glue on random spots of the nail where the crystals would be adhered, and then placed each crystal onto the nail.

“Emmy knew she really wanted to incorporate the fabric from the dress somehow, but with a twist that gave it an unexpected edge,” said Katie Hughes, butter LONDON Global Colour Ambassador. “Together we decided to use both the fabric and the stones to create a nail that was both delicate and edgy. It looked awesome.”

 

 

 

 

 

Giuliana Rancic

 

The Scoop: The E! News co-host gave a nod to the nights punk theme with a dark yet glam nail look to complement her Falguni Peacock dress.

 

Get the Look:

· Katie began by painting a coat of butter LONDON Horse Power to protectGiuliana’s nails and help prolong her manicure, followed by two coats of butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in La Moss.

· In order to add a bit of glam and flare to Giuliana’s nail look, Katie dropped a dollop of butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in The Black Knightat the cuticle of each nail and then slowly dragged the nail brush down the nail to create a cascading effect.

· Katie completed the look with butter LONDON P.D. Quick Top Coat and then applied butter LONDON Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil around the nails to help them dry faster.

Review: Eruan Salon and Spa

 

I was introduced to the talented staff of Eruan Salon and Spa at a past Shecky's Girls Night Out event here in NYC, where I was so impressed with their hospitality and product knowledge that I became eager to work with them.      

I was assigned to Jack, who was very friendly and listened to my thoughts.  The only element I insisted on was keeping my length (being as curly hair takes so long to grow out).  He completely understood and suggested starting off with something subtle to ensure I would still feel comfortable with the look later.  

I told him I was open to color suggestions, but admitted I was happy with my natural red color.  My only constant complaint was that it always looked so dull and wished I could make it more vibrant.  He showed me a few color swatches that were close to my natural, but explained how they would give my hair that extra boost and enhance it.  We settled on a trim with some front angles to frame my face and a demi- permanent color, custom mixed by Jack himself.     

Before

It's been a while since a stylist has been able to tell me just what needs to be done, and then execute it successfully.  With that said, the results??!...................................

After

The change was subtle but incredible.  My color was brighter and the front angles created a softer feel to my face.  I was in totally love with the cut, the color and overall experience.  Jack created a brand new look, but I still felt like me, which is the most important aspect.  

My stylist Jack working his magic!

Eruan Salon and Spa offers the opportunity to reinvent yourself and walk out feeling confident and glamorous.  The stylists are friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly, they actually listen and take your thoughts and concerns into consideration.  I feel confident trusting their work and would certainly recommend them to anyone seeking that go-to salon with excellent service and phenomenal results.
