Trying & testing for all you @StyleologyMag fans. Newest revelation? @OsmoticsBeauty Micro Peel. Bye-bye “BLAH”skin! pic.twitter.com/TyLo0DDDAZ

Cosmeceuticals? Yikes. The very word conjures images of over treated skin that is red, peeling and reeling from sensitization. But discovering Osmotics Cosmeceuticals has changed all that. The 3 Step Skin Resurfacing System gradually resurfaces, over a period of 4 weeks, without irritation. Created by Francine Porter, this anti-aging regimen takes the place of harsh peels and traditional AHA’s.

I am now in the final week! The nightly ritual consists of a 2 minute Exfoliating Charcoal Mask which is followed by a Collagen Boosting Micro Peel serum with tropical fruit acids and Vitamin C. Then it is all topped off with a Protective Barrier Cream to soothe and protect. This super quick routine is living up to its claims so well that I literally jump out of bed in the morning to check out the work it has done in my sleep.

Event: Alexis Bittar Press Preview FW2013

No one can get enough of jewelry by Alexis Bittar. His pieces famously accessorize the First Lady, fashion designers clamor for him (he collaborated with 3.1 Phillip Lim and Mugler for their A/W ’13 shows) and his adoring public is eagerly anticipating the 25 stores set to open in the next few years. Luckily Bittar’s imagination is as prolific as his popularity.

The Chelsea gallery he turned into a showroom dazzled with his three themes for the coming season. The Punk Moroccan room showcased butterfly wings embossed in Lucite and played with his unique combinations of Gunmetal and Gold. The Neo Deco room, inspired by celestial movements was indeed a heavenly orbit. The ‘80’s Graffiti themed section was alive with color and painted an irreverently lovely homage to Bittar’s clubbing days in St. Marks when the East Village was a mecca for musicians, and visual and performing artists.

Spring=green. @StyleologyMag can’t wait to try certified organic beauty products gifted from @greenandglam! pic.twitter.com/XHZPjOA6gO

Salad Days are here. Bikini season has us lingering in the produce section over summer fruits and vegetables. Deciding to go organic makes sense for our bodies and for the environment. Same goes for beauty products. Enter Green + Glam., one of the few brands out there to carry the coveted stamp, “Certified Organic Ingredients.” This certification is increasingly difficult to obtain as organic standards grow ever more stringent.

That said, we all know skin is our body’s largest organ, so treat yourself to the range of Green+Glam goodies. Effective and nutritious for your skin, the Hydrate Anti-Oxidant Mask infused with Rose and Ylang Ylang is simply massaged onto your face and left on like a luxurious moisturizer. Results are immediate and fine lines seem to disappear. Equally decadent is the Vitamin C Serum. This milky concoction increases skin firmness with no irritation, leaving only a delicate scent of the delicious organic ingredients it contains and a baby smooth face.

The Aveda Art of Nature Collection dazzles with its limited edition palette of colors that range from pre-Raphaelite pastels to vibrant oceanic shades. The number of makeup affects you can achieve with this well curated assortment of eye shadows, lip liners, sheer lip colors, eyeliners and highlighter/bronzer is vast. From natural to the dramatic, this collection contains all you need to blast from spring to summer.

My personal favorite? The rehydrating lip glaze in a cinnamon shade called Kukui. Unlike most glosses that turn lips dry, this one soothes and increases moisture with pomegranate oil. It glides on satiny and shiny and the peptide technology is said to make lips appear naturally fuller…I happily concur!
