a trip to the Beautorium...

Beautorium is a new online store selling organic and natural beauty products. Started by experienced beauty executives, Beautorium has a great philosophy and wonderful brand selection criteria. They stock some of my favorite product ranges from Saaf, Juice Beauty and Dr. Hauschka. The site is well organized, allowing you to shop by beauty issue, brand or product category. An added bonus...for all purchases over $75 you'll receive a fair-trade burlap sac to carry all your goodies in!

Korres in Soho...

I was walking through Soho the other day when I noticed a new Korres store! I then learned on their website that they actually opened in October. The design is very modern and clean, their first US store as well! For those of you not familiar with Korres, they are a Greek company from Athens, making great natural products in exotic scents with well designed packaging. A lot of their products are available at Sephora, but now you can buy directly from them, if your in New York. One of my favorite lotions they offer is the guava body butter.

So I was browsing my very talented friend Kaytes adorable blog love forever and she did a great post about Toast from the UK. I thought it was a very appropriate for flawless beauty because they have a really great ethical statement that you just may want to read for yourself...also browse the goods, the catalog is full of wonderful product!

Vert, new eco-luxe beauty product store...

I was skimming the articles on Hugg when this write up in the LA Times caught my eye. A new eco-luxe beauty product store opened in Venice, C.A. called Vert. Opened by Renata Helfman (pictured above). She only stocks eco friendly, upscale products. Like the article says, you no longer have to buy a $70 face cream while in the grocery store. Hmm I think I like that concept... I can't wait to check it out, until then I need my local Cali friends let me know how it is! Read the latimes.com article...
