RIC PIPINO’S NEW HAIR CARE LINE: REVOLUTION IN CUT

February 2, 2010


Hair care is ready for a change…Women are ready for a Revolution

So super excited! I’ve been obsessed with Ric ever since he gave me the world’s best haircut that I FLEW TO NYC FOR this year. He told me he was coming out with his own line of hair products and viola – it’s here! What’s so cool about it is that the products are formulated specifically to your cut. So far, so good, and I’m diggin’ the styling products big time. THe shampoo and conditioner are super yummy. OH! And they smell amazing! Here’s a bit about the stuff below:

Pipino’s new line revolutionizes the concept of hair care with products designed to address the haircut rather than hair type. Recognizing a void in the hair care market, Pipino designed Revolution In Cut to re-energize and support the haircut and help bring out its personality, shape and style – a simple maintenance plan that helps hair respond to its new shape.

Ric Pipino’s groundbreaking approach to hair care serves haircut functionality, helping to maintain the integrity of the haircut day in and day out. Using an innovative haircut-specific approach, Pipino designed a line of products that stand up to his high level of standards and keep his clients’ hair looking both healthy and beautiful, all while maximizing the cuts’ shape and style between salon visits. Each product reinforces the signature cutting techniques used to create the haircut. Revolution In Cut is comprised of a shampoo, conditioners, primers and styling products customized to the six essential haircut techniques: bob, layered bob, crop, short layer, long layer, blunt. Inspired by Pipino’s personal memories of trips to Italy with his father, each product is lightly infused with the scent of Neroli (orange blossom), reinforcing Pipino’s belief that hair should be a multi-sensorial experience – not just about the way hair looks and feels, but how it smells. All products in the Revolution In Cut line are free of sulfates, parabens and gluten.

CARE FOR my cut
Revolution In Cut’s customized shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner are suitable for all hair types and haircuts, designed to complement the unique primers. The daily conditioner provides UV protection and contains Keratin and protein to prevent breakage. The deep conditioner acts as a weekly hair mask using amino acids and botanicals to nourish and repair dryness and damage.

PRIME my cut
The six primers or pre-styling products are in essence an extension of the hairdresser’s scissors, helping to support and maintain the performance of the haircut in between salon appointments. These first-to-market primers are formulated with the specific levels of hold, volume, texture and shine to improve the condition of the hair, in turn extending the life of the cut. Containing a proprietary blend of amino acids, proteins and vitamins in conjunction with unique nanosphere technology, Revolution In Cut primers increase the strength, hydration and elasticity of the hair.

STYLE my cut
Pipino puts the final touches on Revolution In Cut with a wide range of styling products that allow the haircut to take on new personalities. The categories include Toussle Me, Curl Me, Smooth Me and Lift Me. Thermal protectants found in the Toussle, Smooth and Lift products prevent color from fading and protect against damage from heat styling tools. Rich antioxidants found in the Toussle product work to repair damage and provide movement without build-up.

With a focus on delivering personal attention to each hair type’s needs, Revolution In Cut is a direct reflection of Pipino’s approach to styling – it’s personal.

Revolution In Cut launches January 2010 and will be sold exclusively through the month of March 2010 at Beauty 360 (www.beauty360.com)  locations nationwide and online at as well as Pipino’s salons and online at www.pipino.com. Beauty 360 offers prestige and niche beauty products from around the world, and as an extension of CVS/pharmacy, provides customers nationwide with access to upscale, professional products. Revolution In Cut is the latest addition to their roster of luxury brands.

PRODUCT OBSESSION – PHYTOMER BUTTOCKS-THIGH SCULPTOR

November 9, 2009

Phyotmer is one of those top of the line, natural, marine based, organic cosmetics companies where you can simply FEEL the luxury of the product ingredients the moment you lay hands on it.  So when I heard about this BUTTOCKS-THIGH SCULPTOR – DRAINAGE ENHANCING SHAPING EMULSION, I couldn't wait to dive in!

I used it for a few weeks and loved how things looked in my ripply thigh dept.  A definite smoothness!  When I found out I was pregnant I got too scared to study my thighs anymore so I'm saving the rest of the tube for post bebe when I'll really need it!  In fact, I'll probably buy a whole box of it… 🙂

Here's a bit more about this super-duper magic sculptor: 

BUTTOCKS-THIGHS SCULPTOR

DRAINAGE ENHANCING SHAPING EMULSION

Specific marine ingredients, including a unique plant extract (Suaeda maritima), help “dissolve” excess localized fat, while smoothing and toning skin. Feel confident to show off your legs!

-Directions for use: apply morning and evening to target areas. Massage in with fingers, using firm circular movements. Finish with a rolling technique over the upper thigh area..

(BTW…PHYTOMER FACTS)

  • Products tested under dermatological supervision, and ophthalmological supervision when necessary (products for the eye contour area). In addition to these tests, carried out by an independent laboratory – the guarantee of complete transparency – we also have perception tests carried out. These help us to understand volunteers' opinions on the texture, color, and fragrance of a product before it is released on the market.
  • No animal testing. Phytomer is committed to never performing any tests on animals, whether for raw materials or finished products.
  • Respect for the environment when collecting raw materials. We are in constant contact with the natural environment and must protect it. Our seaweed is collected from natural seaweed forests, respecting periods of reproduction and following local regulations, and we work in close cooperation with the harvesters. We adapt our methods for each type of seaweed so as to ensure the preservation of the marine ecosystem.

PRODUCT OBSESSION – YON-KA ADVANCED OPTIMIZER

September 11, 2009

I'm already an obsessive fan of anything by Yon-ka.  They could put out a dog food and I'd eat it.

Luckily, they make the finest skin care products on earth.  So this won't be happening anytime soon.

BUt seriously, I literally cannot get enough of their serums as it is…now they've come out with this, a duo Serum and Creme that cuts to the chase of everything else on my shelves…

It's hot off the press, and just came out this month.  I'll be listing stores in LA that sell it…

Read all about it below.

Even though this does the trick for all my anti-aging needs, I'm still nuts over anything and everything they make and will not give up that dab a little of something, a serum, a cream, anything(!) every time I go to bathroom.  OH, I also keep the serums in my coin holder in my car and I'm not giving that up either…Sorry!

Oh, and it's selling for $140 in spas nationwide, that's for two products, so it's totally wallet friendly.



YON-KA Advanced Optimizer:

It's a firming  & lifting program, a duo of Serum and Creme (packaged together), you apply the serum first, then layer the creme on top (to face and neck).


What's unique about it is that it uses the  groundbreaking technology of pure flower peptides, which no other skincare line uses.


Hibiscus flower peptides in the Serum have been proven to increase collagen production 23% (that's crazy  high!) And increase production of GAGs(Glycosaminoglycans) by  294%.
White Lupine peptides in the Creme have been proven to slow down  the breakdown of the support tissues in the dermis.


Both products also contain Hyaluronic Acid (very hydrating), horsetail  extract (firming), and marine collagen (fills out superficial lines  and wrinkles). The Serum also contains soy peptides (help the support  tissue) and the Creme has milk proteins and shea butter (very  nourishing).
So you're increasing production of collagen and other support tissues while slowing down their breakdown – talk about  turning back time!


On top of it, your skin is left super  hydrated, smoothed out and nourished.

Advanced Optimizer is $140 in spas nationwide (2 products, so it's totally wallet friendly).

Here's MORE!!


A 'Personal Trainer' for the skin to restore its highest levels of strength in order to easily defend itself against ageing. This programme is suitable for skin aged 35+ to combat slackening and act on skin density.

With a unique combination of plant extracts, rich in redensifying and regenerating peptides, the two complementary products within the programmes work in synergy to:
1. Boost the skin's natural reconstruction processes
2. Slow Down the destruction of support issues
3. Repair and protect the skin

The result: Visibly younger-looking, firmer and smoother skin and redefined facial contours.

Useage

Use serum morning and night followed by the creme.
