Once you get out of the shower, you need to moisturize your skin. Coconut oil is a wonderful way to keep your skin from itching under sweaters and heavy coats.  Cocoluxe organic is pure unrefined oil that comes in a convenient easy to use tube that travels easily and absorbs quickly.  $11.99

Winter hair can be the worst. Between the drying effect of heat and pulling hats on and off, you can find yourself living in frizz city. Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and Conditioner are sulfate free and gently cleanse without stripping color. It moisturizes hair with botanicals like peppermint sage and rosemary.  Even thick processed hair will remain soft and tangle free during winter months. $80 on amazon.com

Of course, the one thing you always want to keep moisturized and supple is your face. La Mer cream has been the go-to face cream since the cream invented the brand to repair burned skin. Using a miracle broth made from kelp, a very small amount insures soft glowing skin and protects you from chaffing cold wind. Although it’s pricey, it’s definitely more than worth it!! $310

Last, but not least, who wants to kiss chaffed lips? No one!! A Fashion Reverie, Menaji has a great lip agent balm. Menaji’s lip balm agent is enriched with Vitamin E, sunflower, macadamia, jojoba oil and there is no waxing or drying ingredients. And though this lip balm is marketed as a lip balm for men, ladies don’t get it twisted, this balm also works for women because it has SP 15 and works well under your lips stick or gloss. $7.99

Editors’ Pick: Black Crows Skis

November 16, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Black_Crows_SkisIf you don’t think skis can be a fashion statement, then you didn’t watch the 2014 Winter Olympics or you haven’t been on the slopes in a while. You may be aware of great ski resort fashion from Moncler to Chinti Parker to Perfect Moment, but if you are hitting the slopes your chic ensemble is not complete without fashionable skis. Remember, great fashion is a head to toe look!!

“Traditionally, skiwear has been perceived as quite masculine and sporty, but now brands are realizing there is huge potential in the women’s market for feminine, fashion-forward designs,” explained Natalie Kingham, buying director at the UK–based website Matches, in a wsj.com article. And corresponding to the growing trend of ski gear appealing to both men and women, Black Crows Skis is creating skis that combine innovative technology and fashion-forward sensibility.

Collages451For the 2015/2016 season Black Crows Skis is introducing two brand new offerings and five reincarnations, a new shape differentiation, duo-tones and three-dimensional patterns. In this ninth season consumers will experience a new differentiation made between two types of shape, single and double beak, distinguishing skis with a single front rocker and skis with double rocker (front and back). This technical division is incorporated into all four of Black Crows’ categories: big mountain, all terrain, women’s birdie, and touring free bird.

The stand-out newcomers in the ninth collection’s new models are the anima, a big new beast designed for freeriding and backcountry, and the corvusfreebird, a 109mm waist ski intended for touring. The nocta has followed a weight-loss program and evolved into the nocta air weighing in at more than a kilo less per pair, there are also the three new totally-revised camox (birdie, freebird and all-mountain) and the corvus has been given a new flavor with a modern single beak and a half shape.

Happy Slushing!!

Beauty Pick: Toppik Brow Building Fibers Kit

Thick eyebrows are back! Thank you, Cara Delevingne. Do you remember a dark period in the 90’s when supermodels were plucking their brows into nonexistence?  It made them look so weird.  (Side note eyebrows and eyelashes serve a functional purpose. They keep stuff from getting into your eyes! )

Super thin eyebrows create their own problems. Not only is it painful to obtain, it makes your eyes look tiny. You need to apply your mascara with a putty knife. That being said; you also need to be careful with making your brows look fuller than they really are. But you’re in luck. Introducing a FABULOUS product that will give you thick dramatic brows without veering into drag queen territory; Toppik Brow Building Fibers set. It comes in light, medium, and dark.

Unlike brow pencils Toppik, comes with a wax base you can use to both build up your brows to make them looking thicker, and it can keep unruly brows in place.  Dip the angled end of the small brush (included in the kit) in the wax and apply a small amount to eyebrows to set the shape for your brows.  Now shake a little onto the back of your head and dip the rounded end of the brush into the power.  Lightly dab the brush onto your brows to thicken and create definition. The powder is made of keratin so it will bond with your eyebrow. Long lasting, it won’t come off until you wash it off with makeup remover.

Now, you are all set to flaunt dramatic brows. Cara Delevingne eat your heart out!!

—Cameron Rose
