John Frieda Sheer Blonde Entourage

Last week I got invited to New York City for the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Entourage kick off event.

The John Frieda Sheer Blonde is series of events and perks available for blondes (like myself, real or fake LOL). The blonde VIP program began on March 18th, 2010, in New York City at the Highline Ballroom with a private performance by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and blonde icon Natasha Bedingfield which I got to greet and meet! Natasha’s third album drops this spring FYI.

So I wake to this beautiful view of the Hudson river from my room at The Standard Hotel on Washington Street New York City.

I get to learn about John Frieda’s latest product launches. The John Frieda has just expanded their Root Awakening hair care line with 3 NEW products: John Frieda Root Awakening Strength Restoring Smoothing Lotion, John Frieda Root Awakening Strength Restoring Gel, and John Frieda Root Awakening Strength Restoring Hair Spray. $6.49 each.

Jane Krakowski Launches The Jergens Skincare In-The-Glow Campaign

Get “In the Glow” with Jane Krakowsi, Jergens Skincare and The Skin Cancer Foundation: Get your glow the smart way this summer. A friendly reminder about the safe way to get a natural-looking glow. Want sun-kissed color without the consequences? The experts at Jergens Skincare know you don’t want to give up the glow. That’s why the Jergens Skincare Experts have teamed up with The Skin Cancer Foundation and Jane Krakowski to remind you to get your glow the healthy way this season.

Clean & Clear Shine Control Facial Scrub with Lemongrass & Fruit Extracts

The Clean & Clear Shine Control Facial Scrub with Lemongrass & Fruit Extracts saved my after flight tired face on my recent trip to New York city. GOOD. This face scrub feels incredibly invigorating in the morning, or really anytime. The scent is very relaxing. It is gentle enough to use every day (works for me!). Although it’s a scrub the exfoliating beads are not coarse, or as I call it ‘aggressive’. It’s a cross between a face scrub and a face wash. And you can get it at your local drug store without spending an arm and a leg.

Neutrogene Ultra Sheer Liquid

It’s been sunny in New York City recently and Spring is in the air everywhere. That means more time in the sun. I just discovered Neutrogena Ultra Sheer liquid daily sunblock to use under my makeup. The magic word here is liquid. It dispenses as a white cream that very easily turns into a spreadable liquid on the skin. No need to rub vigorously anymore and it doesn’t leave a white residue (sounds familiar?) You hardly feel it on your face it is so light. I applied it this morning after my serum and before my foundation.

Did you know that this sunblock is actually designed to leave a matte finish on your skin after you apply? Brilliant. The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer liquid daily sunblock comes in SPF 55 and SPF 70. BTW Neutrogena Ultra Sheer is small enough to fit in any makeup bag. No excuse not wearing sunscreen anymore. Finally a sunblock that is not working against us:)

Van Cleef & Arpels Oriens Eau de Parfum

Van Cleef & Arpels Oriens NEW perfume: This spring, Van Cleef & Arpels invites you to experience the alluring spirit of the Orient in a new way with the launch of its latest eau de parfum: Oriens. Inspired by an actual Van Cleef & Arpels tourmaline and diamond ring, this floral scent embodies the mysterious, sensual and opulent spirit of the Asian culture.

Van Cleef & Arpels Oriens: This captivating chypré, floral, fruity scent awakens with subtle, gourmand facets of delicious raspberry, black currant and praline in the top notes. The sun-drenched middle notes of jasmine and fresh–cut white flowers evoke happiness and well-being. Patchouli in the base leaves a radiant and irresistible impression.
