Mia Mariu Refreshing Foaming Gel Cleanser

This stuff earns the Lacee Sabrina Kine stamp of approval.  At 19 bucks a pop this is a real steal.   Non-irritating, oil and sulfate free, even my boyfriend (who barely even washes his face) proclaimed two thumbs up.  My skin feels clean but not dry, itchy or parched for moisture.  A small amount goes a long way.  Drop a dollop into your palm and watch your face foam right up.  The picture attached is an attempt to display this miracle of science.  Effective picture to convey this?  You be the judge.

Also tried out the lines' Mineral Cream Foundation.

Light and easy to apply yet with a good amount pigment.  I experimented with a shade a tad lighter than my own.  After mixing with a touch of Senna Barely Base moisturizer (love this stuff)  http://www.sennacosmetics.com/product_info.php?cPath=20&products_id=1235)  and the color came out great.

Foundation = $23.

Harman London – Oh happy day! Candles from London, oh yah!

Why is everything better when its pedigree is from across the pond? As former design director for the famous Votivo candle line, the purveyor of this new line knows a thing or two about fragrance and packaging and, of course, his refined British aesthetic doesn’t hurt either. Harmon London specializes in quality candles, scents and a simplified, multi tasking skin care line all of which is hand poured and packed and then sold direct to consumers to keep the prices affordable.

Harmon London believes that we all deserve to have beautiful luxury at affordable prices. The candles are divided into two collections:

Wit which is more eclectic and fun and Purple which is sophisticated and luxurious – each fragrance designed to evoke a specific memory or mood. I will admit that the stunning packaging is mighty enticing too and makes the products imminently giftable. ($21.99)

Check out the fabulous purple and red box or the impeccably tailored boxes on the room diffusers making these the perfect “mancandle” choices. The skin care line is clean and straightforward. The products are available exclusively on their website at www.harmanlondon.com.
