Pureology is pleased to present Global Green USA’s Green School Makeover Competition. You can help a school in your area by nominating it for a Green School Makeover – read on to learn more, and find out how.

beta.

 I'm a convert.

Not to over-exaggerate, but the day that my Beta Wash arrived, my life, and more importantly, my skin changed forever.

 I have been using the Erno Laszlo Beta Wash, that Erno Laszlo so graciously shared with me, for the past few weeks, and I have noticed some remarkable and dramatic changes in my skin.

I have oily skin, and lately it has a bit acne prone. Stress, life, changes in lifestyle, and occasionally poor diet changes has caused those little buggers to pop up a little bit. I had tried other face washes to no avail. When this miracle in a bottle arrived, I had a good feeling, and boy was I right.

I opened the bottle, and it smells like a minty, smooth, and delicate breeze. It's refreshing and stimulating, and I was thrilled [and honored] to be trying a product with such rich and wonderful history.

Some of the more famous past clients of Erno Laszlo include: Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe [my heroine], and Greta Garbo, among many, many others.

Many current celebrities are fans, including [but not limited to]; Nicole Kidman, Jessica Biel, and Jim Carey.

Getting back to the Beta Wash..

According to Erno Laszlo's product page,

"Acne wash for normal to oily skin

Beta Wash is a powerful oil-free gel cleanser with algae extracts to detoxify the skin and chamomile to calm irritation. It also contains beta hydroxy acid, to combat breakouts, plus rosemary, sage, and myrrh - known botanical acne healers. It penetrates pores to interrupt the acne production cycle and absorbs oil without dehydrating the skin. Perfect for teenagers and adults alike" (Erno Laszlo's Beta Wash).

This product not only smells great, it delivers what it promises, and so much more.

My skin is smoother, less oily, more refined, and my pores have decreased in size.

I CAN'T get enough of the AH-mazing smell, texture, and rinsing ritual:

I am absolutely in love with this brand and this product, and I CANNOT get enough. I really look forward to trying more.

The products come in INCREDIBLY GENEROUS sizes [the Beta Wash is 6.8 oz.]

$40 for that much miracle? A STEAL.

These products pay for themselves and are very reasonable given the size, the ingredients, and the results.

It was a sincere pleasure trying this product and I thank Erno Laszlo for sharing their product with me.

bri's beauty blog verdict: A KEEPER.

smelly cat.

If you know what my title is a reference to..you rock!
Well, you rock anyway. :)

I had been wanting to try Zoya Nail Polish for a while, so I finally ordered one of her polishes with my bloom.com purchase. SO HAPPY I DID!

I ordered Phoebe, a "Bright azure with fine electric blue and violet shimmer with a velvety matte finish. The matte finish amplifies the bright color; this is a matte that positively glows" (zoya.com).

Pictures don't do this beauty justice!

A very versatile blue, the perfect pop of color for summer. My wardrobe palate consist of a lot of darker colors, or white, so this shade spices up my look perfectly.

It's very easy to apply, feels velvety smooth to the touch, and does wear longer than some other Matte formulas out there.

Zoya's Phoebe can be purchased here: Zoya Phoebe Nail Polish
at $8 a bottle, very affordable! A great formula, excellent wear, no foul odors, and a GORGEOUS shade of blue.

About Matte Nail Polish

Matte Nail Polish color by Zoya is intended to be worn with a base coat, but not a top coat or speed dryer of any kind. Due to the unique matte Zoya Matte Nail Polish color is not as long-wearing as traditional nail color. A completely clean, dry nail surface yields the best results for matte nail color wear. For best results make sure to always prepare nail with Zoya Remove (3-in-1 nail polish remover, nail plate cleaner and new color prep) prior to applying color" (zoya.com)


VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER! :D
I will be back...
