Fresh & Blueprint Cleanse Truck in NYC

Yesterday, I stopped by 18th and Broadway to visit the Fresh truck. Fresh has teamed up with Blueprint Cleanse for a Fresh Cleanse event. The idea is to cleanse not only your skin, but from within as well. The highlighted products were the spicy lemonade from Bp and the Soy Face Cleanser from Fresh. I have tried both in the past, and I really liked the cleanser and drink. Since, I am a VIB at Sephora I got some extra goodies. I got a tote filled with $100 of fresh products. I have been buying fresh for years, so I was thrilled to receive this. In addition, I received a promo code for 1 day of the Bp cleanse. I am looking forward to ordering it soon. Also, I got a card to reserve my spot for a 30 min. consultation with a nutritionist. The event is still going on today at Bleecker Street ad West 11th Street from 11-7pm.

Makeup: Tarte Glamazon Lipstick

I have been really amazed with the new Tarte Glamazon lipsticks. The claim on the lipstick is that it has 12 hour long staying power. I have never really found a lipstick that actually does stay on all day, and now I have. I noticed that the lipstick had stayed on through meals and drinks. Also, the colors are very pigmented, and feel very moisturizing on the lips. So far the three colors I have are Foxy, Playful, and Wild.

Event: Sephora Columbus Circle Party

Last night, I attended the re-opening of Sephora at Columbus Circle party. It was a fabulous event, for many reasons. First, the champagne kept flowing. Second, each guest was given a $25 gift card. Third,  at the end of the night I received a bag filled with full-sized products. The brands at the event were: Tarte, Caudalie, GLO, Too Faced, Ole Henriksen. At each station one got to chat with the founders,  have your picture taken, and receive a product or sample. Overall, the event was a real treat, and lots of fun.

Shampoo: Kérastase Cristalliste Bain Cristal - Thick

I recently purchased the Kérastase Cristalliste Bain Cristal Shampoo for thick hair. After having such a positive experience with the Kérastase team at the Birchbox Gossip Girl event, I wanted to try out their products. All I can say, is that after one use, my hair became instantly silky and smooth. Being that I have very long hair, that is thick and tends to get frizzy, it is hard to make my hair look silky.  I will say that one needs very little of this product, because if you use too much, it can weigh your hair down and make it look oily.  The small amount factor, is actually a good thing, considering the price tag and size of the bottle.

8.5fl oz. $38

I also purchased the Kérastase Cristalliste Lumiere Liquide Serum, let me know if you are interested in a review.

What is your experience with Kérastase, and do you have a favorite product? Would love to try out something else from this brand.

Favorites: Fresh Sugar Lip Polish & Fresh Rose Sugar Lip Treatment

My new favorite lip combo includes two Fresh products. I first exfoliate my lips using the Fresh Sugar Lip Polish. It makes my lips feel so smooth, and in addition plumps them. Although, I have made my own lip scrub at home before, it's easier and nicer to apply it straight from the pot. In addition, you need very little of the product. I then apply the Fresh Sugar lip treatment in Rose. My lips feel very moisturized and the rose color is the perfect shade for my lips, making them look very natural. I have used Fresh products for years, and time after time I am very satisfied with the quality. This lip combo is my current favorite and I feel like it will continue to be for a while.

What's your favorite lip combo?
