At lightning speed

Have you been lucky enough to try the lightning speed hair dryer: PowerLight™ Pro-Dryer from Bio Ionic® at your salon, or have you purchased it? It's available for $200 this month at salons. As soon as I get my glossy paws on it, there will be a review. In the mean time here are the deets:

The PowerLight™ uses 1875 Watts to propel excess water away from the scalp while delivering ionized & micronized molecules deep inside for deep, intensive hydration. Basically it sounds like this could be a possible God-send-time-saver for us Grecians with long thick hair. The real test would be trying this out on a briskly damp October day.

The breakthrough technology from Bio Ionic® has allowed them to create a light weight dryer with air-force needed for thick, coarse hair - as opposed to other models that give you your morning work out sans the gym membership.

One major difference is that with other heavy dryers, they may get your hair dried quickly but they also draw out all the moisture leaving it frizzy. Inside the end of the dryer barrel there are 8 white visible Nano Beads. These patent-pending beads contain NanoIonic™ Mineral –the same one that’s found elsewhere in the dryer to emit Natural Negative Ions and Far Infrared Energy. The result is double the negative ions found in other ionic dryers out today, and double the conditioning power!

I'm insanely intrigued by this product, I mean... look at its stunning silhouette! Hopefully a review will follow shortly. Check out their website at www.bioionic.com

Lubatti September 27

Sunday is a day of rest. A day to relax with family and friends, maybe watch some football. But this coming Sunday, September 27, is the day to get down to Space NK (located in bloomies ChestnutHill) for the launch of Tracy Malone's new product line, Lubatti. Straight from the UK where the line has been launched earlier this month, Lubatti is already making headlines. Tracey Malone, sister of Jo Malone, brings us the 17-unit treatment collection inspired by Madame Lubatti.

Lubatti was a facialist and homeopath to the socialites and stars back in the twenties. Although the silver screen has turned digital, the recipes remain as close as possible to the original.
Malone's mother had the pleasure of working with Lubatti and has passed the scroll of all that is wonderful for skin down to Tracy....who is now passing it down to us! Lotions, cleansers, anticellulite oil, and eye gels are some of what is to be expected.
The focus is on nourishing, softening and moisturizing skin with almond oil, vitamin E, and honey. I have not had the opportunity to sample anything from the line as of yet. As soon as I do....You will be the first to know.

Here is the list of stores for SPACE NK. In the Boston area, there is a SPACE NK boutique located in the cosmetics department of Bloomingdales. For more deets on Lubatti visit www.lubatti.co.uk

Dear Santa

This is the first time I'm writing about a product that I have not tried. First on my list to Santa (it's never too early to start a list) is Clark's Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask. It is an intensive treatment that over time tells wrinkles to take a hike! And delivers glowing skin....why do I know this? I don't exactly know but....

.....A darling friend in Cali mentioned it too me and it's not sold as of yet in the Boston area. She swears by it, my heart yearns for it. I too would like to bask in the Botanicals like my left coast buddy. As soon as I try it out U will B the first to know for sure!

After a little sleuthing, Clark's Botanicals story was revealed. It's a sad one with a happy ending. Founder Francesco Clark, had suffered a crippling spinal cord injury . One of the side effects from the tragedy was that he lost the ability to sweat..... which took him down a road of clogged pores. We all know that clogged pores mean breakouts! Franceco's dad just so happened to be Dr. Harold Clark who was trained in Homeopathy as well as conventional medicine. They developed botanically-based formulas to help rebalance his skin. Problem solved. The End

It's available only at select locations and online at www.clarksbotanicals.com
