Fabulous Farsali

I am so very proud of my work for Luca Magazine.

For those of you who don’t already know, for the past year I have been Beauty Director for a gorgeous, national glossy magazine named Luca. That basically means I am responsible for the beauty content in the magazine, from creating and directing the beauty shoots to sourcing and writing about the products we talk about.

In the 2017 summer issue we talked about a product that Sephora says is flying off the shelves, so much so that it’s hard to keep on the shelves  – it sells out that quickly! I can actually attest to that, because I went to Sephora to buy some and it was all gone. It is still available online though.

The products in question are the two facial oils from Farsali. (Scroll down for the Luca Magazine article.)

 Farsali Unicorn Essence

 

Farsali Unicorn Essence

This one is a dual purpose, water based serum that gives the skin free radical protection via some super-charged antioxidants which also have anti-aging properties. The water base allows them to soak in super deep, without leaving any oily residue.

The other fantastic benefit of this product is that it also acts as a primer, helping foundation to glide on more smoothly and evenly, and to stay on longer. You can even use a drop on your eyelids as an eye shadow primer, or under your eyes to stop concealer from creasing!

Farsali 24K Gold Elixir

Farsali 24K Gold Elixir

This one is a dry oil that can be used on it’s own or used in conjunction with your moisturizer. It nourishes the skin, brightens and improves the texture of the skin (face it – we all want impossibly smooth skin!) and reduces the signs of fine lines. Farsali 24K Gold Elixir makes your skin glow and look radiant.

Both products are available online at Sephora.com

Here is the story as it ran in Luca Magazine:

Coachella Cool ~ The Best Braids of Spring

Here comes festival season, the season of boho chic and ultra cool vibes.

Whether you are heading out to Coachella or heading out to the cupcake store for some Saturday morning sugar, the hairdo of the moment has to be the braid.

A girl with a braid always looks fashion forward. The braid du jour is slightly messy, soft and relaxed. It modernizes an outfit that’s dressy or sophisticated, and it makes your most casual ensemble completely au courant.

The braid is the perfect hairstyle for the free spirited iconoclast.
