Molton Brown Launches Limited Edition Facial Oils

Luxury British skincare has taught me one critical piece of information. Facial oils are not an item of desire but rather one of necessity. Part aromatherapy, part nectar of the Gods that can deduct decades from your crows feet, a uniquely-packaged highly-potent facial oil is as indispensable as mascara. You heard me. "as mascara!"

Who better to cultivate exotic spices for such facial oils than luxury British brand Molton Brown? This week they introduce a standout line of limited edition facial oils. Already used in the Molton Brown spas, these oils are now available for $58, for a limited time, to consumers at all emporia locations as well as at moltonbrown.com.

Packaged in lavishly decorated glass vessels, each container bursts with potent essential oils. The three different formulas, Tunesian Neroli, Somolian Myrrh and Hungarian Wild Carrot, are designed to be used in place of a moisturizer- they are easily absorbed into the skin to regenerate and repair throughout the night. They can also be integrated into any skincare routine to suit different skin types to rebalance and moisturize. Simply warm a few drops between palms, inhale the aroma and sweep across the face, neck and décolletage. Enjoy!

Molton Brown's European Union with the Total Beauty Suite at the Bryant Park Hotel

Talk about manifestation. A few weeks ago I posted this adorable relaxed traveller kit from Molton Brown. Today upon my arrival at the Total Beauty Suite in the Bryant Park Hotel a lovely Molton Brown employee handed my a goodie bag with that same lavender-colored wanderlust companion. Then a lovely little Italian man, with a tattoo of a turtle inked into a square bald patch on the back of his head and framed by his curly locks, did wondrous things to my hair. Using a feminine rose scented shampoo (Rosella), he transfixed me in his chair for the better part of an hour while he styled my unruly locks. I emerged, ethereally scented and resembling (at least in a follicular way) Angelina on her latest cover of Vogue. Bellissima indeed.
Many thanks to the Italian man, who turned out to be Massimo La Rocca, Creative Director of Shears Hustle & Blow.
Thanks to Charli, Total Beauty editor extrordinare, for the picture above.



Also you must must try their pre-wash hair treatment. Vitamins and nutrients swim in the olive oil based serum, to be applied once weekly. I'm dying to try it and I actually applied it to my wrists simply because it smelled like a tropical heaven.
