Makeup Bag at Kate Somerville

On a recent trip to Los Angeles, I stopped into the Kate Somerville clinic on Melrose Avenue for a life-changing facial. (You think I’m kidding, but I’m totally not.)

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate

A favorite of celebrities and beauty editors alike, Kate Somerville offers unparalleled products and services in an atmosphere so charming, I can’t stop talking about it. My friends and family are sick of hearing about the clinic’s gorgeous fabrics and wall paper, the amazing treatment I received (esthetician, Mandy, surely mistook me for a celebrity), and the way the pores in my skin suddenly became invisible—invisible—after an hour in Mandy’s care. Yesterday, my friend Rachel told me to just shut up already after I gushed for the sixteenth time about how amazing the Kate Somerville Protect SPF 30 Sunscreen smells.

Kate Somerville Clinic

After settling into my treatment room, Mandy talked me through each step of the facial process and offered tips on how to maintain healthy skin between appointments (hint: Clarisonic Skincare Brush combined with Kate Somerville Gentle Daily Wash).

I also learned of the many services and procedures the clinic offers including injectables like botox and fillers and laser treatments like Laser Genesis and Solar Genesis for treating wrinkles, sun spots and age spots.

The next time you’re in LA, stop in and say hello to Mandy and be prepared to walk out with the best skin your face has ever seen. (And don’t be surprised if you recognize the wall paper from my newly-renovated living room.)

Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts can be found at 8428 Melrose Place in Los Angeles, by phone at (323) 655-7546, or online at katesomerville.com.

NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss and Nail Polish Gift Set

NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss and Nail Polish Gift Set

We first spied NARS Orgasm Nail Polish backstage at New York Fashion Week and thought we’d never survive the nearly-three-month-wait for it to hit Sephora.

We survived (surprise!) and now the peachy-pink, shimmery hue that has been loved by makeup junkies for years is available in a nail polish at your local Sephora. It is a Limited Edition so be sure to get your hands on a set before they disappear.

(Don’t fret if you can’t get your hands on a bottle—it will also be a part of the NARS Fall Collection hitting counters this summer.)
