Pacifica Candles

Thursday, August 14th, 2008


We love to help you bring the day spa experience home. In order to this in the most luxurious, simple, speedy way possible, light a candle that smells exotic and is healthy for you to burn in doors. Pacifica candles are absolutely a luxurious sumptuous treat. Their floral, spicy, aromatic scents are created
by a woman who travels the world looking for new ways to bring olfactory pleasure to your home. She is simply outclassed by no one in the realm of creating inventive, sensuous scents.
Tuscan Blood Orange, Moroccan Chamomile Apple Blossom, Tahitian Gardenia, Tibetan Mountain Temple, Sandalwood, and Spanish Amber are just a few of the scents that promise to deliver serenity to your home with just the strike of a match. 
 Ah yes and the candles are made with Natural and Essential oils, organic cotton wicks and soy wax. So they are actually good for you (and the planet) too.

Eminence Organics Blueberry Soy Sugar Scrub

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Imagine taking a pile of finely ground sugar cane (smooth as mushy sand) and adding an organic puree of whole fruit blueberries and non-gmo organic yogurt. Sounds like a smoothie right? It’s not. It is Eminence’s Blueberry Soy Sugar Scrub and it is divine. The facial cocktail starts out a deep purply blue color but when you add water it foams into a white yogurt paste and the fine sugar crystals exfoliate your skin until it is literally scrubbed into a smooth, dewy, delicious surface nourished and refreshed. Enjoy!

YonKa Creme 11

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
YonKa’s Creme 11 contains enough bioactive ingredients to recreate the face of a woman who has used only dial soap and no moisturizer her entire life.  Suddenly she too can have skin reminiscent of wealthy French women who are born knowing coveted skincare secrets. Creme 11 is the first step in repairing and re-hydrating traumatized (read uncared-for) skin. With consistent use we can all have the coveted skin of said french women who look no older than 30 on their 50th birthdays.

If your skin is prone to redness or sensitive in anyway this is the product that will transform it into glowing, moist, healthy skin.  Creme 11 counts an anti-depressant, St John’s Wort, as an ingredient so it’s no surprise that my face jumps for joy with every application.

Other interesting ingredients include:

Matricaria Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Yarrow Extract, Horse Chestnut Extract, Whick Hazel Extract, Horsetail Extract, Saint Johns Wart Extract, Balm Mint Leaf Extract, Gentian Extract, Sage Leaf Extract, Marshmallow Root Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Soybean Oil.

Eminence Organics Pink Grapefruit Clarifying Masque

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Eminence launched a new line of Citrus Facial Products earlier this year. The line includes: Citrus Exfoliating Wash, Lime Refresh Tonique, Pink Grapefruit Clarifying Masque, Pink Grapefruit Vitality Masque, Pink Grapefruit C Gel, and Mandarin Grapefruit Body Butter. (We absolutely can not keep up with the Lime Refreshing Tonique orders!) We are overjoyed about the new line but and today we to used the Pink Grapefruit Clarifying Masque to reduce sucsessfully reduce a volcanic-sized zit. We have always found a face mask has the power to brighten our outlook and our skin.

This product is perfect. It feels like a rich creamy milk bath filled with large chunks of grapefruit. A surprising combination of powerful astringent and milky comfort. It oozes a muted tanginess that provides essentail nutireints for our skin.

 

Benefits:
• Removes impurities from the skin
• Helps heal and prevent blemishes
• Balances excess sebum production
• Infuses high levels of antioxidant vitamin-C and bioflavonoids

YonKa Paris Summer Cleansers

Monday, August 4th, 2008





The Ladies of Beauty Gone Green are gearing up for some lovely adventures in Beauty Travel. We can’t wait to bring you the latest from our trips where we search the world over to bring you the best beauty products. Our two must-have travel products are both from YonKa Paris, our most favorite, traditional, French skincare line. Yonka’s Gel Nettoyant and Lait Nettoyant both act as nutritious, healing cleansers and makeup removers in one. If your skin is more dry opt for the Lait. However if change of climate and stress leave your skin oily, simply trade the Lait out for the Gel.

Travel and endless business meetings, (yes even beauty business) can leave a girl’s skin somewhat exhausted. Lait Nettoyant is a “thorough and gentle cleansing agent that revives the skin’s protective lipids, leaving the complexion feeling soft and alive. The skin is sumptuously cleansed with a luxurious sensation of comfort. The complexion is smooth and hydrated with a satiny finish to the touch.” And they are not just saying that. If we were not in the business of trying new products we’re pretty sure these two would hold the exclusive rights to our toiletry’s bags prime real estate. They both also adeptly remove layers upon layers of makeup in the blink of an overly made up eye. Also, a dab of either product on the end of a q-tip is the best way to correct faulty makeup application. YonKa really is a girl’s best friend.
