The Spa Travellers Diary

This is a cosmetics solutions company from Las Veagas and Beverly Hills.  An erase-zit pencil in Neutral Light.  Purchased from Saltridges, Burlington for $20.00.  This is an all in one concealer & corrector with tea tree oil & camphor.  This one comes with its very own sharpener.

Judith August is a former model who had dark under eye circles.  She needed to find a solution to this problem in order to be in demand as a model and developed cosmetic cover up make-up initially for herself but made it into a full time business.  You can view all her products here.

 

This skin care collection will be featured as part of a special today's showstopper on the shopping channel on Saturday, July 17th.  Look for the Biocallasis Complex 11 piece Collection, which will include a tote bag in your choice of the Rose Gold or Platinum colour.  It will also include two new bath and body products from her latest Golden Angel line.


Eliabeth will also bring goodies on Sunday, July 18th just in time for Canadians wishing to try this line of products, which I highly recommend.   This is the best price you will find anywhere.  Please see my earlier post on Elizabeth Grant if you wish to learn more.

13 oz. glass jar is $18.25 at the Yorkville School of Make-up and Esthetics.

If you are in search of something different, this is a soft soaking powder for the bath with a gentle scent which feels like you are wearing a blanket of softness in the water.  You will need to put in two small scoops to have this effect in the bath tub.  Also available in other scents.

The above product is really different and good for a luxurious change, but it is a little pricey.  I'll try anything once but considering the price, I would rather buy epsom salts at Shopper's Drug Mart.  A one pound bag can be purchased for $9.49.  Good for aching muscles!

Let us know what your favourite bath product is and why you like it.

Fluide Merveillance is a moisturizing lotion recently launched by Nuxe incorporating breakthrough plant technology.

The lotion targets woman in the age range of 35-40 years who have combination to normal skin and are looking to reverse their visible expression lines and at the same time control any oily or shiny complexion. The beauty of Fluide Merveillance is that it moisturizes and treats oily complexions while leaving the skin looking smooth and moist without any oily shine. 

When trying this face lotion, I noticed it quickly sinks in like a wonderful drink for the face and there is something very ultra feminine about this product which has a lovely fresh scent and a toning and smoothing effect.

Fluide Merveillance was specially developed and formulated to offer a wonderful texture and fragrance with essential oils of Rose, Ylang Ylang, Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Lemon Tree and Linden.  Not only does this lotion have 81% natural ingredients, but the formulation incorporates the botanicals of Althea Root, Oat, Calendula Officinatis, Mimosa Seeds and Malt Extract, contains a total of 4 patents.

The packaging is both efficient and stylish, with an easy to use and effective,  precision pump and a classic frosted glass bottle. The lotion spreads on easily and a quick pump is all you need.

Nuxe Fluide Merveillance is available at the Bay, Ogilvy's and Shopper's Drug Mart. The suggested retail price is $49.00.

We would like to know if you have ever tried the Nuxe line of products and we encourage you to drop us a line in the comment section below.

The Spa Travellers recently attended a NARS event at the Bay and had a makeover with the new Spring colours. As always, whenever we visit NARS, we had fun, fun and more fun.  The reps are always so welcoming and upbeat.  What first drew me to NARS (besides the incredible packaging and products!) was the friendly, down to earth customer service.  I have always found with the NARS reps that they truly enjoy showing you their latest products but are never pushy or make you feel obligated to buy.


We were joined by guest editor Anita, who had her makeup done by Beth while mine was done by Robert, both very creative makeup artists. We were both open to whatever look the makeup artists wanted to try.



Anita "before"

Beth gave Anita a very dramatic look with soft cheeks and eyes and making the vibrant red lips the focus.

Anita rocking her new look!



I wanted to try out the Spring eyeshadow shades so Robert did a very soft look using the cream eye shadow duo on the lid and used a dusting of the pinky rose shade from the Kuala Lumpar duo to set the shadows.

Robert paid such attention to detail shared a lot of useful tips with us.  For the lips he applied a moisturizer and gave it time to sink in and then applied Senorita lipstick, then applied a little of the same pink/gold shadow in the middle of the lips to give a gold shimmer.


My purchase was the powder foundation in Deauville, a handy compact foundation that can be used with a powder brush or a sponge, with SPF 12 protection. Anita bought the Brightening Serum, a serum that helps to even out and brighten the skin.

Thanks to Beth and Robert for an amazing and fun make-up experience!
