Brittany Murphy – Cardiac Arrest, Dead [Breaking]

Update on the sale of Brittany Murphy’s home here

Brittany Murphy has died from cardiac arrest, TMZ reports.   A call was made by her husband at 8am this morning to emergency.  Brittany had a tough year with rumors of drugs and husband controversy, but I don’t think anyone saw this coming.  Will miss her beautiful smile and quirkiness that made her very endearing.  The story continues to unfold.

Review: Serum by jeune d’age organics

Serums address specific issues, such as anti-aging, as a highly concentrated cocktail of skin goodies.  Serums are not moisturizers and most must be combined with a moisturizer and applied on damp skin.

If you are a fan of natural and organic products, jeune d’age organics is a line to explore. The company sent a 30-day supply of one of their popular products from this newly launched (2009) line.

tobetterskin.com_serumHoused in biodegradable box that is suitable for gifting, the eco packaging follows Pangea’s suit for their soap line by urging the consumer to plant when completed for a new garden.   The serum also comes pre-packaged for precise dosage amounts (.05 oz), enough to cover face, neck and decolletage.  This makes it perfect for travel.

  • The ingredient list is a who’s who of skin loving raw materials and antioxidants: Meadowfoam, Rose Distillate, CoQ10, Hyaluronan, Vitamins A,B,C,E and more in an organic aloe base.
  • There are no artificial fragrances or parabens in this product.
  • The rose comes through with almost a lemony touch to the scent. The product is very liquid and cool on the skin.

I liked the product;  it also had a very cooling effect when applied.  On my skin, the serum did not completely penetrate, but that seemed to have no bearing on how it performed.

The serum pack sells for around $40, but jeune d’age organics is offering special pricing on their gift pack, which includes serum toner with pads, cleanser and moisturizer. It is always a treat to be able to review a natural and organic line, and it is clear that the development of the product line and relationships are important to the founders.

Review: Payot Emulsion Minerale Reviving Regenerating Body Milk

payot_emulsionminerale
This beautifully pearlized lotion is meant for the body. Light in weight and texture, it glides onto skin and is meant to protect and stimulate from the mother of pearl and gemstone content. This isn’t a heavy duty moisturizer; indeed the formulation could be the perfect antidote to summer skin dehydration. Year round it provides other beauties. Payot’s Emulsion Minerale silkiness pampers, and the scent is one that has everyone over the moon! I brought it in to share and women were grabbing the bottle to apply, then apply a little more before they went out. It was unanimous the scent and subtle sheen it left on the skin is intoxicating. I’m hoarding it again for myself this morning.

Payot Emulsion Minerale Reviving Regenerating Milk is available at 360 beauty.
