Christy Coleman, renowned fashion and celebrity makeup artist loves Kaeline Argan Oil products. Christy works with some of the most famous actresses, models, magazines, and photographers in the world. Read why she recommends this Day Duo. Visit Christy's new site for natural beauty advise christycoleman.com.

One of my favorite best kept skin care secrets, Kaeline Serums are by far some of the most effective serums on the market today. Kaeline Vitality Serum features argan oil, rose and geranium essential oils that help to tone and firm, leaving skin perfectly hydrated. Once applied, the face is fortified, purified and protected for the entire day. The potency and effects of this serum are nearly doubled when combined with Kaeline Radiance Day Cream. This luxurious cream absorbs easily into skin, balancing skin tone and protecting against everyday environmental exposure. Thanks to a unique mix of ingredients, this cream helps to maintain an optimal level of hydration within the skin and enhances cell regeneration. I personally love using both of these products together, and have noticed an unbelievable reduction in fine lines on my face and neck.

For maximum results, apply a small quantity of Kaeline’s Day Serum in the morning on to a cleansed face and massage gently. Then apply Kaeline’s Radiance Day Cream evenly onto the face and neck.

Vanille Violette by Laurence Dumont

As reviewed by METSV styleapothecary.onsugar.com

"Intensely Feminine" is a perfect description of this divine new fragrance from the House of Laurence Dumont. It's Dee-lish. When I first got my hands on it I wasn't sure of the Violet/Vanilla combo, but trust me it works! First note upon application (on me anyway) is definitely a subtle floral - but hold the phone.... I usually do not like florals. But...with this fragrance, I don't know if it's the combo of the first three notes or what, but no matter - it smells sooooo good. I just sat there inhaling my arm, appreciating it more and more as it dried down. The dry down scent for me is a warm vanilla - but not your typical "oh, she's wearing vanilla something-or-other..." no, this is unique - it's soft, sweet, totally girlie, sexy and decadent! It is so pretty - could definitely wear this in any season. Guarantee you get close enough to your favorite guy and he is going to want to take a bite out of you...or at least nibble on your ear....Very nice staying power, not at all overpowering. I'm thinking that I'm going to need to sample more from the Senteurs Gourmandes collection....this Vanille Violette is tres magnifique!

Vanille Abricot
Beauty secrets of the sexiest fragrances

-Lois Joy Johnson

A woman leaning in to kiss a manA sexy summer fragrance calls for a little fling, even if it's just eye contact or a "WOW you smell fantastic!" from a stranger on the street.

These 7 fragrances will leave you with a conga line of admirers:

1. I fell in love with Vanille Abricot by Comptoir Sud Pacifique ($53, 1.6oz EDT) in 1992 while in St. Bart's trying to seduce a French photographer on a photo shoot. All the models were wearing it and it seemed like a good idea. It was. When you wear this, rejection is not an option. Try the brand's new Coco Figue by Comptoir Sud Pacifique ($85, 3.3 oz, comptoirsudpacifique.us), a blend of vanilla, coconut, figs and sugar - or my original. I guarantee it will have your date skipping dessert.

Jasmine Neroli Kukui Candle



About three weeks ago I was craving an extra special scent to combat the last weeks of freezing cold temps and bone chilling winds. Each day and night I went through my apothecary closet sampling fragrances, lotions and bath soaks that would remove the lingering winter chill. I found lots of wonderful products that chipped away at the cold, but the Jasmine Neroli Kukui Candle from Hawaiian Body Products was the one scent that truly pushed winter aside that particular evening. Just looking at the beautiful floral design on the box was engaging, but it was lifting the seal off the candle's top and inhaling the delicate scent that was an instant reminder of stepping off a plane in Hawaii and taking that first breath of sweet tropical air. Kukui means light in Hawaiian. In ancient times, the Kukui nuts were the source for light. The tree is a symbol of enlightenment, protection and peace. If you are searching for a special gift for a friend, for mom, mother-in -law, or even a for close friend who just lost a loved one, these candles are perfect offering. lushoasis

Monoï de Tahiti by Helan- A year-round tropical escape



Over thirty years ago, Italian cosmetic company Helan set out to create natural beauty products rooted in genuine, time-honored traditions. Today, Helan offers a wide variety of collections, all of which are made from only the purest ingredients like plant oils, extracts, essences, honeys, and scented waters. By combining the best of nature with cutting-edge technology, Helan creates effective, eco-conscious products that impart a total sense of well-being.

The Helan Monoï de Tahiti line is no exception. This head-to-toe collection is infused with the intoxicating aroma of restorative monoï oil. Tahitians have been using monoï, or “scented oil” as it’s translated, for centuries to soften, nourish, and protect their skin and hair. The production of Monoï de Tahiti oil begins with the Tiare flower, a Tahitian gardenia. The flower is ground up and immersed in refined coconut oil for at least ten days, slowly infusing the oil with the flower’s powerful nutrients and lush scent.

The Helan Monoï de Tahiti collection is further enriched with tamanu oil, which is obtained from a Polynesian tree found close to the sea and coral reefs. Rich in fatty acids, tamanu oil has been a longtime Tahitian remedy for wind and sun damage and has amazing age-delay benefits.

The result of this time-honored combination? An ultra-conditioning potion with a transportive scent that perfectly captures the serenity of a tropical oasis. Experience this vacation-in-a-bottle with these monoï-rich treats for skin and hair:

• Scented Bath & Shower Gel ($22) A gentle cleanser for the hair and body that uses natural cleansing agents to wash away impurities without stripping away moisture.
• After Bath & After Sun Body Milk Cream ($36) A fast-absorbing, moisturizer that smoothes dry patches, leaving skin soft and silky. Aloe vera further helps to soothe irritations.
• Scented Body Mist ($24) A refreshing, alcohol-free fragrance that leaves behind the lush scent of monoï.
• Hair Oil Protective Treatment ($35) A nourishing oil that protects color and hydrates damaged hair. It creates a protective barrier over each strand, sealing out environmental damage.

Monoï de Tahiti is available for purchase at www.lushoasis.com.

La Sultane de Saba - Traditional Rituals for well-being in 2009

Traditions that celebrate women, rituals that nurture ones beauty inside and out, and exotic surroundings are just a few of the jewel-like qualities that caught my attention when I accidentally discovered La Sultane de Saba in the 8th arrondissement in Paris.

Founded in 1995 by Vanessa Sitbon, La Sultane de Saba is a chic, bohemian day spa. Her philosophy includes the practice of beauty rituals from exotic cultures and the close bonds that develop between women when they experience these bathing rituals together.

Many of the celebrated products originate from the Hamman treatment that uses warm steam baths for detoxification, massage and relaxation. Others are formulated using authentic recipes that have been passed down the generations from mother to daughter.

Some of the most popular items are the Savon Noir, a eucalyptus purifying soap, shea butters, and scented body lotions that can also be worn as an alternative to perfume. If you love oriental notes, there are several fragrances (Amber, Ayurvedic, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Karite des Iles, Loukoum, Sandalwood ...) that will captivate your senses. Also highly treasured are the scented candles that transform any interior to an exotic oasis.
