Artis Introduces New Fluenta Brush Collection @ArtisBrush
Former MAC Cosmetics Executive Mathew Waitesmith recently launched a luxurious and super high tech brush collection. The shape of these brushes allows application to feel like using your fingers to give you superior control and flexibility. The elongated necks, aside from being artlike in appearance actually provide fluidity in applying the product.
Artis Fluenta brushes are composed of CosmeFibre with 250,000 individual fibres and they outperform standard brushes by being UV resistant, durable, and are resistant to chemicals found in makeup products. The best part is they are totally cruelty free!
The collection consists of 9 brushes ranging in price from $36 to $72, or $190 for the 5 piece set or $400 for the 9 piece collection.
The brushes are available at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.
Paula’s Choice 20th Anniversary Breakfast @PaulasChoice
A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to be invited to a breakfast to celebrate Skincare guru’s Paula’s Choice 20 years in the business.
We were treated to a delicious breakfast at The Standard Hotel, in the Meatpacking district ,while listening to Paula speak about her favorite products and why she has been able to succeed in this very competitive and sometimes saturated skincare market.
Her favorite products include RESIST Vitamin C Treatment for brown spots ($55), The Broad – Spectrum SPF 43 Sunscreen Spray ($25), Clinical K Treatment Cloths ($32), and The SUN 365 Self Tanning Concentrate ($18)
One of her newest and best selling products now is the Resist Hyaluronic Acid Booster ($45). It works well on all skin types and visibly plumps skin with an infusion of a good dose of hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronic to diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
For people with acne prone skin or a problem with blackheads Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BPA Liquid ($26) contains 2 percent salicylic acid (BHA) and has a pH that allows it to unclog pores and keep breakouts and blackheads from happening. It is fragrance free so if you if have sensitive skin or allergies it has proven to improve skin’s tone and texture.
Paula’s belief that quality effective skincare should be attainable and affordable is a major key to her success and longevity in the beauty business.
We were sent home with a bag full of goodies to try for ourselves including a bottle of Veuve Clicquot to celebrate the occasion.

Rooftop Bar and Lounge: Up on 20 Hyatt Herald Square @HyattHS
Herald Square is known for its shopping, Madison Square Garden and flurry of activity, so it was a nice surprise to find a new boutique style Hyatt smack in the middle, but designed uniquely to give the visitor a tranquil and serene experience at the end of the day.
Up on 20 is the newly designed rooftop bar and lounge now open for the warm summer months. With unobstructed views of both the Empire State Building and The Freedom Tower it is the perfect place for both locals and visitors to come for cocktails and a meal.
The menu focuses on small bites and platters made to be shared as well as burgers and salads. We started out with spicy pork crackling which paired nicely with our first cocktail, The Rum Julep. We then tried the mini meatballs which were juicy and tasty and served with hoison and sesame glaze and baby leek. The shrimp ceviche with pineapple and chili was very fresh and perfect for a summer day snack.
The best part of the meal was the grilled beef burger with brie cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion jam complemented with killer truffle fries.
The bar/lounge is open for brunch, dinner and for cocktails daily.
Up on 20 Rooftop Lounge: Hyatt Herald Square 32 west 31st. New York, NY 10001 www.upon20nyc.com (212) 330-1234

“I have created a new exceptional hair care line made of the most precious ingredients: ‘Les Soins d’Exception’ Home Spa Duo is the ultimate luxury in hair care to repair and restore seriously damaged or over processed hair”
Jean – François Lazartigue
The line is divided by hair texture with the Les Soins d’Exception shampoo ($49) and conditioner ($60) containing Tea Oil designed for Fine and Delicate Hair. Tea oil is know to restore and thicken fine or delicate hair without weighing it down.
Les Soins d’Exception with Bancoulier Oil, derived from the Bancoulier Nut found in trees in the tropical regions of Polynesia, is designed to repair and protect thick, coarse, or devitalized hair. Bancoulier Shampoo ($49) and Conditioner ($60) will hydrate even the most dry and unruly hair out there.
