The Skincare Genie….mySkin.com

Greetings Stylish moms and fashionistas!

I’ve learned of a cool website called, http://www.myskin.com.  Rahul Mehendale, co-founder of mySkin informed me that the site is dedicated to providing unbiased skincare advice.  Just Like Me (JLM), designed by dermatologist, plastic surgeons, and cosmetic pharmacologist, is the intuitive technology utilized to make the recommendation for what type of product is best for your skin.

Once you register with the site, you’re taken through a detailed skin/lifestyle assessment. The assessment takes less than 10 minuets and you feel as if you’re being questioned by a dermatologist, or an esthetician.  The JLM tool, recommends products based on the data that you entered as well as other people’s (this is where the Just Like Me comes in) skincare profile is similar to your profile.

In addition to the recommendation, you are able to upload the products that you currently use and post ratings.  The creative minds behind mySkin, designed a fun, informative website, where you can post skincare tips, keep a daily skin history journal, and join a community of savvy people that have the latest information on skincare products.

Go check it out and let me know what you think.  http://www.myskin.com

The Mane Attraction

Today here in the northeast we had a preview of a very early spring day! And as I was driving along I started thinking that it’s just about time for me to get my tresses lightened up.  But I’m more conscious of the products that I use and I don’t want to use a product loaded with the usual suspects, peroxide and ammonia and….let me admit it here and now…it needs to cover the gray hair!  So, I did a little research and came across the website www.actnaturals.com.  ACT (Advanced Cosmetic Technologies) is a plant based Permanent hair color.

Advanced Cosmetic Technologies Permanent Hair Color Kit

Advanced Cosmetic Technologies Permanent Hair Color Kit

Further reading about the product let’s me know  that this product is not only cruelty free, it’s vegan and they adhere to The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics guidelines, www.safecosmetics.org.  So… I called and plunked down my $29.99 for product number 9GD.

I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Cheers!

NYFW09 Outside the Tents: The new MAC Pro store

 NYFW09 Outside the Tents: The new MAC Pro storeIn the hustle and bustle of New York Fashion Week, I attended a small event at the new MAC Pro store and studio with my digital partner in crime, B-Rad. The store is located in a small office building and there is not a sign, so I wasn’t sure I was at the right place until we walked off the elevator.

Lo and behold we were in makeup heaven (que the flashing light and “ahhhh ahhh ahhhh!!”). There before me was an entire wall of makeup jars in every color you could ever imagine.

The fabulous Koren, from Enkore Makeup, was giving tips to a group of women circled around him as if he was the 7th wonder of the world (but with all that juicy beauty knowledge he was dropping, I didn’t see anyone taking notes..hmmm). This immersion of beauty set the stage for a chat with our gracious hostess, Christine from Temptalia, as she gave us the scoop on the “must have” makeup every busy Stylemom should have in her bag.

I recommend checking out Enkore Makeup’s wonderful video tips as they are for women of every skin tone and color as well as getting the latest beauty product scoop from Temptalia.
