Between frigid temperatures, unexpected snow and icy winds, our skin suffers quite a bit during the winter season. Whether you're experiencing excessive dryness or overall lackluster skin, you'll find yourself adding more to your skincare routine in the colder months. While one moisturizer may help with hydration, a handful of other products are needed to repair, revive and heal your skin. Thankfully, Clarins latest skincare offering enhances your current skin cream to your unique needs. This potent trio of oils were uniquely created with our greatest skincare woes (fatigued, polluted and damaged skin) in mind. Meant to be paired with your favorite moisturizer, Clarins Boosters are sure to take your skin care game to the next level.



ENERGY 

Unique Ingredient: Ginseng extract (known for its revivtalizing properites)
Major Skin Boosts: Radiance, Tone, Reversing signs of fatigue/dullness

Especially after a full holiday season, our skin is definitely partied out. Tired, lackluster and dull skin is common during the colder months and in need a major reboot. That radiance and lively complexion we all love is easily achieved with a few drops (3-5), with results showing in single week.



REPAIR 

Unique Ingredient: Mimosa tenuiflora extract (helps with skin recovery)
Major Skin Boosts: Overall healing, soothing properties, redness and over stimulated skin is calmed with use

We've all  weathered some harsh winds and angry winter weather conditions. Not only do these frustrating environmental factors weaken skin but leaves our skin vulnerable to constant damage like mild burns, redness and excessive dryness. If this is your major concern, try incorporating Repair boost into your skincare routine.



DETOX 

Unique Ingredient: Green coffee extract (rich in caffeine which helps detoxify skin)
Major Skin Boosts: Rids skin of toxins/congestion, revitalizes skin and promotes a more youthful texture to otherwise tired, lifeless skin

Regardless of season, environmental pollutants tend to roughen up our skin. Whether its clogging up the pores, causing unusual breakouts or stripping the skin of moisture, we all need bit of a strong boost that aids a multitude of issues. While some products deep clean and rid the skin of pollutants, a daily product that is both gentle and effective may be a wiser choice. Best of all, Detox Booster is the just the pick your skin will need after a late night out.


Whether your skin is itching for help in these major areas or is need of an overall upgrade, these unique products are worth giving a try. Interestingly, these versatile little wonders can be used in a variety of ways. While I like adding 3-5 drops to my daily moisturizer (Clarins Multi-Active Day SPF 20), they can be added to other skincare starters like serums and masks. If you'd like an alternative, mix in a couple of drops into your foundation for a benefiting boost.

Important to note: All booster oils must be used as an additive rather than alone due to their highly concentrated formulas.

It's always exciting when Jin Soon Choi creates a new nail look for an upcoming holiday or season. We've seen this extraordinary nail guru's designs range from sleek geometric-inspired creations to colorful contrasts and everything cool in-between. This season was no different. Creating a look initially for St. Patrick's Day, this very fun nail design is one I'd love to wear anytime this spring. Featuring a rich green floral design against a beautiful neutral tone, here's how you can recreate this nail style yourself:

GREEN CLOVER NAILS

Step 1: Always start with clean, polish-free, oil-free nails. Trim and shape to your particular liking and paint nails in a coat of JINsoon Power Coat.

Step 2: Once base coat is dried, apply two even layers of JINsoon Doux polish.

Step 3: Assure nails are dry prior to starting  the clover design. Taking a clean stripping brush, saturate the tip of the brush with JINsoon Tila and create an outline of the clover shape, varying its position with each nail.

Step 4: Once the shape is created, neatly fill in each clover design with the same tool and polish (JINsoon Tila).

Step 5: For a final step, coat nails in a layer of JINsoon Top Gloss for a glossy and professional finish.

While we're all familiar with the major fashion communities of the world, Australians are catching up to the fashionable set with a covetable style all their own. I can't seem to get enough of their cool styles, footwear and accessories. One awesome brand I'm currently loving is The Peachbox, a super chic jewelry e-retailer that is turning out delicate designs that make a sleek statement on their own or layered with your favorites.

Whether its their classic bangles in luxe golds or silver tones or timeless pearl earrings, keeping things simple and effortless is the art to The Peachbox. Catering to both the girl who appreciates a clean, sleek look as well as those who love a little bit of glitz and sparkle, The Peachbox is a perfect place to score beautifully made jewelry with wallet-friendly price tags.

Having been a long time fan of roman numeral style jewelry, I instantly gravitated towards their best selling Roman Empress bangle and charm necklace. While gold is always my go-to option, I couldn't say to no to the bangle in their beautifully blushy rose gold tone.





Upon opening both pieces, I was blown away from by their quality. For such a low price point, each piece was well made, of a nice weight, and shined in luxe way. Most wallet-friendly jewelry tends to give off that gaudy, cheapy sheen but that was absent in these pieces. You would never guess they were under $40 a piece.

In addition to jewelry, The Peachbox have added Marc Bale timepieces to their collection of already top selling products and naturally, all watch designs follow their classic, timeless aesthetic.

It's safe to say that I will be adding to my TPB pieces in the near future. If you'd like an idea of how their pieces look on actual shoppers, head over to their equally chic instagram page where they feature shoppers' beautiful snaps and give a real look at how their jewelry wears. Additionally, the brand announces promotions and fun sales on twitter, snagging jewels for well under retail is always a winning option.
