Face Boutique was created by some savvy, hip London girls who went searching for skincare specifically for young skin with issues, and surprise surprise … they couldn’t find any. At least none that met their mandate for a great aesthetic, divine smell, formulations that worked better than anything else out there, and most importantly contained nothing harmful. Three years in the making with a group of highly qualified experts and voila! Face Boutique was born.

Have I mentioned I’m a lip balm addict??? Yes, I do confess.  I have more lip balms than I can count on two hands, but you won’t find me recommending every lip product on the planet. Because frankly, I do have my standards.  They must not be greasy, disappear in a few minutes or be filled to the brim (or at all) with any petrochem nasties, artificial color or flavor. 

But this is not a balm or gloss, it’s a lip conditioner perfect when in need of a little (or a lot) on-the-go pampering!  When you’re in a suit or a cocktail dress, do you really want to be seen pulling out your ninety-nine cents tube of (hopefully not petroletum filled) lip balm? I didn’t think so.  Why?

Usually very skeptical about so called miracle creams that promise the world and deliver a back-water in the middle of nowhere, the Shrink To Fit cream from Mama Mio actually lives up to it’s rep. Now before I wax rhapsody about this cream a reality check is in order. Don’t think you can skip the gym, become a couch potato and think this will miraculously deliver you from the loss of tone and gaining of weight you’ll get. What you can expect from this sink-in-quick serum is a formula that’s packed with radically effective ingredients to help reduce the appearance of cellulite, restore elasticity, reduce water retention and sponginess, and increase firmness. How you ask?

From building to beauty via a new and refreshing partnership with Kiehls, Pitt is using his considerable celebrity to help raise what they expect will be more than $1million in sales … refreshingly, without cashing in on his celebrity. Pitt will not be appearing in any of the ad campaigns, his image will not be used anywhere and he will not profit in any way from the association. The Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Cleanser will be sold at stockists worldwide from October 2008 and all proceeds will go toward JPF Eco Systems, a charitable foundation established by Pitt & Kiehls to support global initiatives that, “minimize impact on the environment through thoughtful design.” His own charitable trust the ‘Make It Right Organization‘, which helps victims of Hurricane Katrina, will also directly benefit. Now that’s what I call beautiful.

1. Raw, organic coconut oil: The virtues of this miracle oil are just about endless. Containing 50% lauric acid, a rare medium chain fatty acid found in mother’s milk, coconut oil is now being studied for its’ anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties. Not to mention it’s 92% saturated fat - need we explain the emollient qualities? Savvy island ladies have been using it for centuries but we use it for: cuticle and nail conditioning, body oil, hair treatment, wound healing, skin moisturizing, eating, cooking, drinking. Every household should have a tub!

Named the ‘Recycle Caps’ program, they’re collecting all hard, plastic bottle caps (from personal care products, household products, you name it), which are then being recyled into new caps, containers and bottles. Some of what they’ve already collected is being made into their limited retro edition Clove Shampoo that will be out in September with the bottle containing 96% post-consumer recycled content. The caps can be dropped off at any of their stores, beauty salons or participating schools.

Marsha Mason’s publicist reached out to us last year and we rated an excellent sampling of some of the products made on her New Mexico herb farm, Resting in the River Organic Farm.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was truly impressed with the quality of all the products we got to play with, which included:

Healing Body Butter
Healing Body Lotion
Intens-Salve
The Family Herbal Wellness Kit- which includes a variety of wonderful herbal sprays that were surprisingly useful
Healing Hydration Mist

I had the opportunity to meet with Ms. Mason in her Manhattan apartment last year, and was fascinated to learn about her ’spiritual agriculture’ practices and how she got from being an award-winning actress to her farm in New Mexico.
