Best in Millennial Beauty: Clarins Multi-Active
Having recently attended the Clarins Spring launch event at Bloomingdale’s with several other of Boston’s top lifestyle bloggers, I learned about the latest and greatest from beauty guru Christopher Truffa.
Designed for overly stressed, sleep-deprived millennial women who are always on the go, the new Clarins Multi-Active line is currently my saving grace in every sense.
Though I (and surely Clarins shares the sentiment) promote a healthy lifestyle and balance, there will be those times when you only get a few hours of sleep or have one too many martinis and need to be fresh faced the following morn.
Purol Salve
A brilliant and very beautiful Dutch expert joined our team at WriterAccess and has since been educating us on traditions, cuisine and products from her native Netherlands.
During the cold stretch we were having here in Boston, she overheard me remarking about the never-ending struggle of the Boston dry-lip.
A few days later she brought me a pot of Purol, a restorative salve chock full of natural fats. Having no shame, I tried some right away and have been a believer ever since.
Ralph Lauren Tender Romance
This airy and feminine scent arrive just a week ago in time for the expected Spring need to switch to something lighter. Spring for me is about wearing those bright floral shifts you can only get away with during warmer months.
The shade of cheery yellow that causes people to smile at me while walking down Dartmouth headed to brunch.
This fragrance is similar. So light, yet memorable it draws you in and encourages you to pause for a moment. To inhale again, instantly evoking images and memories of a classic Americana with a young, beautiful edge.
Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder – Bronze Glow SS16
This powder works for a range of skin tones, causing my cheekbones to pop and awaken my tired eyes when added to the inner corners of my eyes and brow arch.
For those with lighter complexions, it provides a healthy sun-kissed glow in addition to all of the benefits above without overdoing it.
Use a little for day, build from there for a glam evening look.
DryBar Detox Dry Conditioner
I am always trying to achieve that space between having a dry scalp and overdoing it with product to have a beautiful, healthy mane.
Quite a tall order for someone who processes her hair and is preparing for Color Melting with Best Colorist (according to The New York Times, Allure Magazine and Instyle) Anthony Vitale of The Anthony David Salon.
During a recent blowout with my favorite stylist in Back Bay (love you Christina) she used a bit of this on my hair when finishing my look. Fantastic scent notwithstanding, it gave an instant softness to my hair that seemed to extend the style in a nourishing way unattainable by hairspray.
