(Malin+Goetz) Detox Mask
Posted 11/17/2009 by Lara
This deep cleansing mask uses innovative, oxygenating cleansing agents, which immerse into pores to clean dirt and makeup, leaving your face clean and refreshed. On contact, it feels like shaving foam and tickles slightly as it works itself into your pores. Leave it on for five minutes, then rinse off with a warm towel, and your skin feels instantly smoother. Contains green tea extract, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and soy protein, which help calm lines, and keep skin radiant and firm.

Kiehl’s Imperial Body Balm
Posted 11/16/2009 by Lara
I have really dry skin this time of year, so if I could (afford it) I would bathe in this stuff. I love the packaging, the way it smells — a special blend of amber and vanilla essences — and most importantly, the result. This product deeply hydrates my skin all day without being greasy or messy. The gorgeous yellow coloring comes from the natural ingredient, Sea Buckhorn Berry, which is able to survive harsh climates and is known for its healing and protective properties.
More about the Balm:
- Inspired by old-world Russian herbal remedies
- Deeply hydrates, regenerates, and comforts extremely dry, lackluster skin
- Accelerates cell turnover with honey and fruit glycolic acids to immediately reveal a new skin softness and radiance
- High levels of antioxidant-rich butters help protect skin from environmental damage

Special thanks to…
Jordi for all the photographs!
Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa for doing my makeup. More details on my look HERE

To Daniel Feld for the AMAZING necklace he made me out of a butterfly wing from the Amazon (I love it so much!).
To Spin New York for hosting a wonderful birthday and showing my guests a great time. I think I worked off all the calories from my birthday drinks playing ping pong in my heels.
To Ducks, the restaurant at Spin for the great food and Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Sandwich that was better then any cake I could have asked for!
Making my wish!
And especially to the LOVES of my life who got me the jazz band, the Mad Jazz Hatters from one of my favorite restaurants, Moto to play my party. This is probably one of the most amazing gifts I’ve ever received.
Mad Jazz Hatters
The custom lyrics about my life they worked into their songs was really the icing on the cake!

Unconventional Beauty Tips
Posted 11/12/2009 by Lara
Sometimes you’re not at home to fix some of life’s little inconveniences. So here are a few quick tips:
- You’re out on the town and you’ve broken a nail. No nail file? Use either a brick off a building to file or even better a matchbook! This should help tie you over until you’re home and can properly file.
- On a trip and you break out? Try eye drops on your blemish to diminish redness. Also, toothpaste can be used to spot treat and help dry out that pimple so that it’s cleared up by morning.
- A little nippy out? Turn your high beams off with Bandaid ActivFlex! They hide amazingly well under clothes. I find this one hilarious!

Got Acne? Try Kairos
Posted 11/11/2009 by Lara
With the amount of innovative products on the market, it seems that it was only a matter of time before the first hair care line would be developed to help treat acne.
Knowing that standard hair products could have a major impact on their patients skin, nurses, Catherine Parker and Doreen Campbell, developed Kairos — a full line of hair products formulated to help counteract these effects.
Some standard hair products contain acne-aggravating oils. This leads to the overproduction of oils which causes inflammation of new acne or exasperate existing breakouts. Kairos uses natural “safe” oils that don’t clog pores. In addition, several of their products are formulated with acne-fighting Salicylic Acid, a proven medication to help fight existing blemishes and prevent the recurrence of acne.
Here is Kairos’ three-fold approach to acne:
- Eliminating acne-aggravating and pore-clogging ingredients
- Treating breakouts by unclogging Continue Reading…

Taylor Jacobson is Leaving Rachel Zoe!
Posted 11/07/2009 by Lara
Remember last years finale of The Rachel Zoe Project, when Taylor Jacobson said:
“Rachel’s fearful that I’m gonna quit because she knows I’m at my wit’s end. But I’m not, I have too much work ethic, just leave her on a day like the Oscars. I would never just be like ‘screw you’ on that, I would wait till the timing was a little bit more appropriate. Which will never be, so I’ll always be stuck with Rachel because I have.Jewish guilt. Even though I’m not Jewish.” [Stylist.com]
Well that day has come. According to sources from People.com say she was fired, however, Carrie Gordon, Rachel Zoe’s rep, would only confirm, “Taylor Jacobson is no longer with Rachel Zoe, Inc.”
In Taylor’s farewell email to her contacts she said:
“After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own.” [Fashionista.com]
We sort of saw that one coming…

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color
Posted 11/06/2009 by Lara
People seek different things when it comes to selecting and applying their nail polish. Some enjoy the salon manicure experience, and some like to get creative with patterns and kits. Others spend time applying a bottom coat, multiple layers of their chosen color, followed by a top coat (or something in between), all the while being ever so patient with the drying process to create the perfect at home manicure.
And then there’s the girl on the run. And for that girl, there is Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Nail Color. The wand is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Compared to the average size, it’s huge and it only takes one coat for full coverage. The brush is amazingly precise and makes the polish so easy to apply. (Make sure when dipping the wand, you wipe the excess polish on the edges of the jar, otherwise you may find Continue Reading…
