DermDash Is Changing Los Angeles Cosmetic Industry In A Big Way



 Los Angeles is the epicenter of all things beautiful. When time begins taking its toll on one's appearance, no problem— there are hundreds of plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and other medical professionals on hand to 

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2015 Botox was performed almost 7 million times nationwide. The California region alone made up about one third of that number. Considering this high demand, it's no wonder that the process of shopping for a practitioner is often cumbersome and time-consuming. It requires extensive online searches, phone calls, researching reviews, and driving from doctor to doctor for a consultation.

Now there's a way to avoid this overwhelming process. The solution is DermDash, the cosmetic industry's first online scheduling service, where users get honest, transparent pricing for cosmetic procedures before booking their appointment. Here are some features of DermDash:

  • Real Time Prices: DermDash makes shopping for cosmetic procedures like Botox, lip fillers, laser hair removal, and more, as easy as possible. Users simply browse a list of cosmetic doctors, compare price quotes and reviews, and then book a free cosmetic consultation with their preferred doctor. 
  • Booking Tools: Users can schedule a free cosmetic consultation online with any of the cosmetic doctors on the platform or purchase the procedures through the secure checkout page if they find an unbeatable deal. 
  • Quality Reviews: DermDash is powered by Yelp, a separate service that provides reviews and ratings by everyday consumers from all over the web. Furthermore, only selectively chosen, qualified doctors (plastic & oculoplastic surgeons, dermatologists, and top medical spas) participate in DermDash.

"DermDash is a revolutionary cosmetic platform that we think will change how consumers shop for their cosmetic doctors," said board-certified dermatologist and app developer Ben Behnam, M.D.  "Most doctors' offices will not give pricing over the phone, so the burden is put on consumers to set appointments and comparison shop. Instead of wasting your precious time, DermDash gives you prices, reviews and the convenience of making a doctor's appointment online."

DermDash is available at no cost in the Apple App Store and on their website: www.dermdash.com.


Review: Aqua+ PM Zero Anti-Pollution Moisturizing Cream #AquaSkincare #AntiPollution

(product photo courtesy of www.aquaskincare.ca)

This cream is the first cream that is 100% natural and made specifically to aid in keeping skin free from air pollutants. Used at night, this cream helps keep pollutants from entering your skin. Air pollutants have been associated with cancers. This cream has anti-aging benefits at your fingertips. Their revolutionary product contains Aloe Vera juice and anti-oxidants form olive leave extract, which helps protect the skin from accelerated aging caused by sunlight and pollution. The formula is also BPA and fragrance free. It instantly starts working to firm up the skin and counteract the effects of pollution and modern life. With deep nourishment, hydration and anti-oxidizing properties in a face cream, you will be able to take on the world with grace and finesse. Continued uses of the cream shows long-lasting benefits that are genuinely good for your skin. 
 
Hyaluronic acid, one of the main ingredients, helps keep water in the skin, thus keeping moisture in the skin. Use this as a moisturizing mask when skin is extra dry. It is meant for all skin types: sensitive, normal, oily, combination, dry and mature. It is all natural and contains great natural ingredients that will help keep skin feeling and looking younger. It is meant to replace all serums, gels and other moisturizers.
 
This is a nice moisturizer that I find to be a bit heavy. It is definitely nourishing to the skin. I think oily skins might find it too heavy but otherwise, most could use it. It is an interesting concept that it could prevent pollution damage to the skin. I am not sure if that really works or not but it is an interesting notion. This cream is nice because it is all natural and is is good for anti-aging purposes. It has good ingredients in it. It is full of natural botanical extracts and ingredients that are good for anti-aging. I would definitely recommend it.
 
Aqua+ PM Zero Anti-Pollutiion Moisturizing Cream is sold on Amazon.com. It comes in a 1.7 oz./50 mL jar. It retails for $60.00: http://amzn.to/2ajHNtH.

Review: L'OCCITANE Lavender Foaming Bath #LOCCITANE #Lavender #FoamingBath

(product photo courtesy of www.usa.loccitane.com)

Lavender Foaming Bath 16.9 fl.oz./500 mL $38.00

If you are a fan of lavender, then this is the treat for you. Reminiscent of the lavender fields of Provence, France, this Foaming Bath will transport you to another realm. Soak up the relaxing and aromatic scent of this bath and be transported to the blue fields of lavender in Provence. This rich, foaming bath, with its captivating lavender scent, lets your mind escape to Provence as you breathe in the fragrance and enjoy a soothing moment of relaxation. It leaves skin feeling supple and fragranced with the delicate scent of lavender. 

 To celebrate its 40th anniversary, L'OCCITANE is also celebrating Provence, the land of its birth, through a limited-edition collection based around its most famous flower. The packaging features a new design, inspired by fields of lavender seen from the sky, which trace diagonal lines across the plateaus of Haute-Provence, filling them with color. The brushed-aluminum bottle is inspired by the “estagnon” – a metal bottle that was used in the past in Provence to preserve fragrant essences.

Lavender is a symbol of Provence, an iconic flower whose aromatic scent has a relaxing effect and gives a feeling of well being. The essential oil used in this bath is PDO* lavender essential oil from Haute-Provence. This quality label is awarded to essential oils from Haute-Provence, distilled using traditional methods from fine lavender that grows at an altitude of over 800 meters, within a specific geographic area. L'OCCITANE is actively involved in helping to protect and preserve this fragile flower, which tells of the emblematic landscapes of Provence, which is so rich in color and history. Also known as "Blue Gold", lavender has a scent that evoke sheets dried in the sun or the warmth of the hot summer days.Its aromatic, authentic fragrance fills the bathroom. Also discover the L’OCCITANE PDO* Lavender Essential Oil from Haute-Provence for a non-foaming fragrant bath with relaxing properties.
(* Protection Designation of Origin)


Lavender was one of the first flowers distilled by Olivier Baussan, the founder of L'OCCITANE. Known in Provence as "Blue Gold", this plant is an aromatic tribute to the south of France. It is the fragrant soul of the region. The fruit of respectful labor. L'OCCITANE uses lavender that is sourced from farmers’ cooperatives in Haute-Provence. Their complete collection of Lavender products includes personal and home fragrances as well as bath and body care to offer moments of relaxation and well-being. 

To use: pour 2 or 3 tablespoons into warm water and enjoy the relaxing moment. Lay back into the tub and relax for a few moments to enjoy the scent of the lavender. Relax and enjoy the ambience and the bath experience. Perhaps bring some candles and turn the lights off so as to make it an all around bathing experience that de-stresses you. 

I love the Lavender Foaming Bath. The scent is strong but does not overpower you. It is so nice to have a bathing experience with this foaming bath. The lavender scent makes you feel relaxed, de-stressed and downright happy. You come out of the bath feeling like a better person. The bottle is huge and will last a long, long time. 

L'OCCITANE'S Lavender Foaming Bath is available for $38.00 for a 16.9 fl.oz./500 mL bottle. It can be purchased online at www.loccitane.com or at any L'OCCITANE boutique.

(product photo courtesy of www.lorealparisusa.com)

Revitalift Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Scrub Cleanser 5.0 fl.oz./150mL $6.99

The first step in any routine is the cleanser.  Beyond wrinkles, a dull, uneven skin tone can make skin look older. Skin's natural ability to shed surface cells slows down as we age. Brightening Daily Scrub Cleanser, with gentle micro pearls and Glycolic Acid, helps to exfoliate dullness and impurities to improve skin tone, texture and clarity. It reveals visibly bright, more radiant skin. Immediately you will notice that skin is brighter, more radiant and fresher skin is revealed. Skin is optimally prepared to absorb Bright Reveal treatments and moisturizers. Over time, brighter more radiant and fresher skin is revealed. Skin is optimally prepared to absorb Bright Reveal treatments and moisturizers. Skin tone looks more even and renewed. Skin texture feels smoother, more refined.

This cleanser can be used morning and night. To use, lather into wet hands and gently massage onto skin in a circular motion. Avoid contact with eyes. Make sure to use a Broad Spectrum SPF 30 or higher when using this product. 

I love how this cleanser makes my skin feel so smooth and soft. It takes away all of the extraneous dead skin cells and helps lighten up my hyperpigementation too. This cleanser is an integral part of the Bright Reveal series. I would definitely recommend using it if you have uneven skin tone, rough textured skin, and fine lines and wrinkles.

RevitaLift Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Scrub Cleanser retails for $6.99 and comes in a 5 fl.oz./150mL tube.

Review: L'Oréal Paris RevitaLift® Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Peel Pads #Revitalift #BrightReveal #PeelPads #LOREAL

(product photo courtesy of www.lorealparisusa.com)

RevitaLift Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Peel Pads 30 Presoaked Pads $19.99


The L'Oréal Paris RevitaLift® Bright Reveal Peel Pads are a dermatologist inspired anti-wrinkle plus brightening treatment. They are a daily peel pad that resurfaces dull, uneven skin tone and rough skin texture to reveal fresh, new looking skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles over time. These pads are the first step to help skin absorb the powerfully concentrated treatments. Formulated with Glycolic Acid, the gold standard in brightening treatments, this formula is clinically tested to gently but effectively exfoliate dead skin cells to help renew the skin's top surface layer. Each jar contains 30 multi-ply textured pads that instantly reveal brighter, more radiant skin. Recommended for daily use along with the Brightening Dual Overnight Moisturizer. Make sure to use a Broad Spectrum SPF 30 during the day when using these peel pads. This way you will not develop a sun sensitivity or undo all the beautiful, hard work you are doing to your skin. 

I love these peel pads. They claim to have a 10% glycolic acid. I believe it is pretty close to that. After using them for a while I did notice that my hyperpigmentation dissipated greatly. My skin texture was incredibly soft and smooth. No wrinkles to speak of nor were there any lines that appeared. My skin is in its best condition in years. And I am 45!

The RevitaLift Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Peel Pads come 30 pads per jar and retail for $19.99.  It is available online at www.lorealparisusa.com and in mass market retailers nationwide, such as Ulta, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, CVS and Wal-Mart.

Review: Bikini Velvet #BikiniVelvet #bikini #hairremoval #underarms #shaving #legs

(product photo courtesy of www.bikinivelvet.com)

Bikini Velvet: For Legs, Underarms & "Down There"  $15.95




I received an interesting product to try out. It is called Bikini Velvet. This product is for shaving the legs, underarm and bikini area. It is an oily substance that comes in a tray. You pour it in the try while shaving and dip your razor into the tray while shaving to let the razor glide over the skin during the shaving process.

Bikini Velvet promises a closer shave, fewer ingrown hairs, smoother skin, a cleaner shave and it extends the life of the razor blade. With  the all-natural lubrication blades stay sharper and cut closer while virtually eliminating nicks, irresistible.  Packed with vitamins and anti-oxidants, organic extra virgin olive oil, wheat germ oil and aloe, Bikini Velvet is said to increase hydration and elasticity for healthy nourished skin that's velvety smooth. It contains Tea Tree Oil, known for its natural sanitizing and healing benefits. The life of the blade is extended and this saves you time and reduces the cost of shaving. 

How well does it work? Very well. Because it is an oil based product, Bikini Velvet does glide on so easily and helps the razor cut the hair off smoothly and effortlessly. There are very little nicks, scratches, or cuts when using this product as opposed to a shaving cream. In the bikini region, it really does help take the hair off easier, letting the razor glide through the hair with ease. Ingrown hairs don't develop, because the skin stays smooth and exfoliated. Also, the Tea Tree Oil keeps bacteria at bay. 

Currently Bikini Velvet is available through http://amzn.to/2agVPML. If you think this would work for you, by all means, go get it fast, there are only 18 left. I liked it a lot, better than shaving cream.

Review: Alterna Styling Care for Hair #Alterna #Hair #HairStyling

(product photos courtesy of www.alternahaircare.com)

Recently I was given the opportunity to try some styling care from salon professional Alterna Haircare. I must say that I am in love with this brand. Their hair care is extraordinary. It is very, very good. It is some of the best hair care ever used on my hair. I would definitely recommend giving Alterna a try. I tried products from the Caviar Anti-Aging line and the Bamboo line. 




Alterna gives you ultimate frizz control and smooth hair that shines like crazy. Instantly absorbing Kendi Oil with strengthening Organic Bamboo can be used as a treatment or as a styling primer to reduce frizz, impart intense shine and protect your color all while providing nutrients to the hair. It is best for thick and coarse hair types. 

I love this. My hair is naturally frizzy, so it is my go to product. It works. I love how it takes the frizz away and leaves gorgeous shiny hair in its place. Place a few drops in damp hair and rub throughout. As an oil treatment, apply liberally to hair and leave on for 10 minutes. Then wash out. 

Bamboo Smooth Kendi Dry Oil Mist 4.2 fl.oz./125 mL $25.00
This lightweight, instantly absorbing mist can be also be used as a treatment or a style primer. It eliminates frizz, shields hair from heat styling tools, enhances shine and protects color all while boosting hair's health. It has Kendi Oil and Organic Bamboo. Best for use on normal hair types.

I use this when I don't want something as heavy as the oil. It is lighter and is easier to manipulate. Spray liberally throughout and style as usual. Use on dry hair to eliminate frizz and enhance shine. 



This ultra-dry, humidity-resisitant hairspray acts as a barrier against humid conditions, locking out frizz while locking in style. Water-light, it never leaves hair feeling stiff or sticky. 

Combined with the other Bamboo Smooth styling products, frizz doesn't stand a chance. Hair is sleek, smooth and stylish. It looks amazing. Style hair as desired, hold can 6-12 inches from head and spray hair liberally. 

Caviar Miracle Multiplying Volume Mist 4.8 fl.oz./141 mL $28.00


The Caviar Anti-Aging range helps to keep hair looking younger by the use of Caviar. This multi-tasking styler delivers instant and long lasting root-to-tip volume, providing flexible hold and leaving hair touchably soft. It has clinically proven to be shown that it will give you 2x the volume that you normally have. That is why it is called the Miracle Multiplying Mist. 

It works too. Spray at the roots on damp hair and style as usual. You will notice hair has much more volume than usual. 

Caviar Perfect Iron Spray 4.1 fl.oz./122mL $28.00



This is a heat activated spray for use with straightening irons and other heat styling tools. It protects each strand of hair for up to 450°F and 232°C. This spray locks in moisture to eliminate frizz and split ends. It reduces styling time and damage caused by the styling tools. It locks out humidity for long-lasting style. To use, spray on clean dry hair one section at a time prior to using heat styling tools. Repeat section by section until styling is complete. 

This is my new favorite heat styling spray. It works wonders for heat styling. The spray protects hair and lets the tool do the job but lets hair not get fried during the process. It is a rare spray that can actually do such a thing. Most of them are really just hype and don't do such a good job, but this one really does work well.



Repair your hair with Cavair RepairRx. The Multi-Vitamin Protection Spray helps instantly repair weak, distressed hair while boosting hair's immunity to damage. Without adding any weight to your hair. This has Vitamins A. C, B6, B12, E and Biotin. Vitamin A and C are anti-oxidants that protect against free radicals. Biotin, B6 and B12 restore strength, shine and body. Vitamin E nourishes, conditions and smooths hair. It also has intense heat and UV protection that prevents breakage and protects from heat up to 450°F.

This spray is like an intense version of the Perfect Iron Spray. It has more repairing aspects and is for hair that is in need of more repair. It can be used as a regular styling aid or as an aid to heat styling. If used for regular styling, apply to hair by spraying evenly through clean, towel dried hair. Comb through and style as desired. For heat styling just make sure hair is dry. This will protect hair. 

Caviar Working Hair Spray 7.4 oz./211 g $20.00

Achieve natural looking style with this ultra-dry brushable hair spray. It provides a flexible hold while adding fullness and shine to hair. All while being humidity resistant. Hair stays soft yet has great hold with this hair spray. Style hair. Hold can 6-12 inches away from hair then spray all over to achieve the amount of hold you need. For a softer look, brush through when dry. 

As you can see, I tried a good number of Alterna Haircare styling products. I was very happy with the products I tried too. Especially the anti-frizz and heat protetion products. These worked really well. These products are only available in fine salons across the country. If you find them anywhere else they are likely counterfeit.

Bamboo Fragrance




I did some shopping on The Fragrance Outlet. I wanted to see how easy it is to purchase something, how fast the item ships, how it arrives and how well the item matches the description. I was told to purchase the fragrance Bamboo by Franck Olivier. It was easy to search and find this fragrance. As well, it was incredibly easy to add it to my shopping cart. Then i went directly to checkout and purchased the item. Granted, I did have a gift card for the item, but it was still easy to go through the checkout process. It took only a few minutes. The shipping fee was waived too, and it depends on what state you live in as to how much shipping you pay. My package arrived within 2 days! The Bamboo fragrance is quite lovely. it is a light green crisp almost citrus based fragrance that I can definitely see myself wearing. 

All in all, I was very happy with the process of shopping with The Fragrance Outlet and I would shop with them again. I love perfume and fragrances, so it's only a matter of time until I order something I am interested in.

Until Next Time~

Review: Paris Hilton Gold Rush Eau de Parfum Spray #GoldRush #ParisHilton



Paris Hilton Gold Rush Eau de Parfum 3.4 fl.oz./100 mL $60.00
S:\BEAUTY CLIENTS\PARLUX\PARIS HILTON\IMAGES\PRODUCT SHOTS\PH GR 100mL w box.jpgGold Rush is the 20th installment in Paris Hilton's fragrance empire. This fragrance is irresistibly feminine with a dash of old Hollywood glamour. The one of a kind bottle is designed to look like a golden evening gown, evoking the idea of strolling down a red carpet. Inside you will find the beautiful gold elixir that bears the fragrance Paris Hilton has created. And it is lovely. "I created this scent for the woman who is truly confident in who she is. She is a dreamer. Doer. Thinker. Gold Rush is all about that indescribable feeling when you see endless possibilities...when you are alive and unstoppable," Paris says.

Gold Rush is an oriental, fruity fragrance that opens with bright, citrus notes creating a rush for the senses. Floral notes that embody luxury and extravagance follow. Finally, vanilla, praline and cashmere woods envelope the skin with a seductive undertone. The fragrance notes include top notes of lemon zest, bergamot and juice nectarine. Middle notes of Velvet orchid, rose and violet. The base notes are (as mentioned earlier), vanilla bean, golden praline and cashmere woods. 

Personally, I ADORE this fragrance. It is lovely. I love that it starts out bright and citrusy (the lemon zest, bergamot and juice nectarine). That smells amazing. Then it goes into a sort of light citrus floral note. That is even better. The dry down is a heavier vanilla, cashmere and praline. That makes it soft and warm. Just about anyone could wear this, it's not heavy at all. It does not scream "PERFUME!" at you when you wear it. It makes you feel sensual and lovely. The bottle does make me feel as it I am going to a red carpet event. I wish i was...either way, Gold Rush is a great fragrance that I am sure you will love too.

The perfumers of this fragrance were Jennifer Mullarkey of Parlux and Richard Herpin of Firmenich. The bottle was designed by Stephen Nussdorf, the chairman of Parlux. The fragrance comes in two sizes. You may purchase a 1 fl.oz./30 mL spray for $32.00 or a 3.4 fl.oz./100mL spray for $60.00. Until July 31, 2016 it is exclusively available on www.HSN.com but beginning August 1, 2016 it will be available at retailers nationwide, including Perfumania and www.perfumania.com.
