Week 4, June 26th:

I should just call this—Make Up Bag Wants to Shape Up but is Failing Miserably: Week 4

I sort of knew this was going to be a bad week.

Thanks to PMS I have been non-stop hungry. Even though I have been working out and taking an extra walk each evening, it apparently wasn’t quite enough to make up for those Doritos. Ha!

So much for the 142 I promised myself last week.

Have I mentioned that I won’t be defeated?

We made our second trip to the Kate Somerville clinic last month during the Total Beauty Blog Summit—only this time, we were with 20 of our beauty blogging friends.

Like last time, we were in awe of the gorgeous furnishings, fabrics and wall papers that Kate has selected for her renovated space. It’s simply gorgeous.

If you live near the LA area, you NEED to stop in for a service. Not only is the atmosphere to die for, the services and staff are unbelievable as well. As I said before , there’s a reason Kate Somerville is the celebrity hot spot for skincare treatments.

While we didn’t have time for a treatment during our visit, we did walk away with a sample of Kate Somerville Nourish Daily Moisturizer .

We love how calming this daily moisturizer is. It doesn’t have SPF so we reach for it when we know we’ll be glued to our desk all day.

Rich in antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients, Nourish helps to encourage collagen production and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

But we just like the way it makes our skin feel.

Kate Somerville Nourish Daily Moisturizer is available at Nordstrom.

The nail polish we’re wearing in yesterday’s video (which, by the way, thank you for your sweet comments about Janey…she is quite a character) is LC from the Zoya Gossip Collection .

Named after The Hills’ star Lauren Conrad, it’s a summer cream red that looks great against all skin tones.

Even though Zoya polishes are Toluene Formaldehyde and DPB free, they are amazingly long-lasting and durable. The manicure you see here is already 5 days old and, aside from the bit of pink sparkly polish on our middle finger (resulting from a slip while painting Janey’s nails), it still looks great. No chips at all and the edges are just beginning to wear.

We first saw the Josie Maran Cosmetics collection at Barney’s in New York last year. We fell in love with a couple of the eye shadow shades (Pewter and Smoke ) and were beyond impressed with the quality of this eco-friendly line.

This summer she has a new collection out called Natural Glow . While you’re checking out her line of beauty products free of parabens and petrochemicals, be sure to get your hands on the Organic Argan Oil—her bestselling moisturizer for face, hair and body. Just a few drop of this miracle oil will transform your skin.
