By-My-Bedside: Boscia Tsubaki Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask – beauty while you sleep!

Posted on by

Like many girls, growing up, I always wanted to be Sleeping Beauty.

I dreamed a dream…of being Sleeping Beauty, that is...

But when it comes to sleep, many people don’t realize how much you can get done in that eight hours of shuteye. See, if you ask me, americans just don’t put enough moisture into their skin. That’s why my first piece of advice to anyone when it comes to skincare is to replenish that moisture we lose by using all of those oil-free products out there. But a common question I often get is “How do I make time for proper skincare with such a busy schedule?”

Well, Boscia has come up with the ultimate in multitasking when it comes to skincare. Their brand new Tsubaki Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask ($34)  deeply moisturizes, protects, delivers longterm antiaging benefits and smooths and softens skin – all while you sleep. I mean could Boscia help us be more efficient? Nicely done.

See, at nighttime the skin’s permeability is higher and products can be more effectively absorbed into the skin. Boscia Tsubaki Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask actually creates a veil on the skin, allowing the skin to lock in the ingredients for supreme skin-softening results.

Sleeping Beauty…well, trying to be...

How does it do this? Through its primo prettifying ingredients of Tsubaki (Camellia) Oil – which firms, hydrates, increases collagen and fights aging, Wakame (Japanese Sea Kelp) – which increases collagen production and reduces the synthesis of melanin for a more even skin tone, rice bran oil – which helps prevent premature aging and more.

And I love this little nugget about the benefits of rice bran oil. In Japan, to call a woman a “Nuka Bijin” or “Rice Bran Beauty” is a great compliment as it refers back to the glowing, youthful skin of women who worked in the rice fields who washes the newly-harvested rice and became exposed to high levels of rice bran oil!

So by using Boscia Tsubaki Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask, you’re sure to be a “Nuka Bijin”… or at the very least, Sleeping Beauty.

I’ll take either, thank you very much…

Well-rested, wide awake and softened, moisturized and pampered skin to boot! Now, on with the day!

This past Wednesday, I had the utter delight and honor of attending an event that included two of my very favorite things: skincare and tea!

Skincare & tea? Why, thank you, Boscia and American Tea Room!

Boscia brilliantly coordinated their bestselling Boscia masks with the perfectly-suited teas and delicious desserts from the equally fabulous and healthy American Tea Room.

The cutest pairing of sweets & beauty treats I’ve ever seen!  I’d always wanted to try this tea haven in Beverly Hills and now I’m so in love that I’m determined to take my next meeting there!

American Tea & Boscia: the cutest combination ever!

It was an afternoon filled with MultiMasking. What’s that, you ask? Why, customized masks by Boscia designed to treat your skin concern on any given day. Check it out.

You want your skin to be purified? Boscia has  their Luminizing Black Mask ($34) to cleanse and brighen your skin while leaving you feeling less like an oil slick! It purifies your skin leaving you with an utterly glowing complexion. And – a side note – my neighbor, Cameron, swears by the stuff!

Is your skin feeling irritated, inflamed and dry? Rosacea or eczema got you feeling blue? Well, counter those blues with Boscia’s New Cool Blue Calming Mask ($34). It instantly cools, calms and hydrates even the most sensitive of skin!

Are you wanting to correct hyperpigmentation and diminish fine lines and wrinkles? Boscia’s Bright White Mask ($38) is the way to go! It reduces hyperpigmentation – evening out the skin’s tone – while plumping and hydrating the skin and reducing the appearance of all of those fine lines that aren’t so fine!

Oily skin leaving you feeling like an oil slick that can never get clean? Boscia’s got you covered with their Green Tea Oil Control Mattifying Mask (coming soon).

Let’s say you want clean pores, purified skin, calm skin and brighter tone? Use all 4! Not all at once, of course. Just alternate depending on your needs!

Among the many Boscia Products I was introduced to that I can’t wait to try?

Can't wait to try these products and more!!

Another thing I learned, it’s pronounced (pronounced Bow-shuh). I’ve been wondering – and mispronouncing that- forever!!

And you know what makes an afternoon of tea and beauty even better? 

Sweet friends!

Friends and fellow bloggers at the Boscia Event at American Tea Room

Stay tuned for Thirsty Thursday where I’ll include my favorite American Tea Room recipe for summer! xoxo,

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask

Posted on by

Oh, how I love tubtime!
Have I said that enough, yet?

What bathtub beautifier am I featuring today on BF In-My-Tub-Tuesday?

The perfect pre-party treat:

Bliss’s Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask ($54)

p.s. I have the old packaging! That’s how long this has lasted me!!

In-My-Tub-Tuesday: Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask ($54) - p.s. this is their old packaging. This has lasted me a looooong while

Here’s the new packaging you’ll be looking for:

Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask ($54)

What is it?
A frothy, foaming, oxygenated mask that plumps skin by releasing oxygen into the skin and leaves your beautiful face looking younger, brighter, firmer and well-rested! Yes, please. Plus, it won In Style ”Best Beauty Buy” 2009 & 2010

How does it work?
By instantly delivering a shot of oxygen, a powerhouse form of vitamin C, time-released antioxidants, and a mighty dose of moisture, through beyond-me, Fluid02 technology.

Hmm…what else?
This mask was inspired by Bliss Spa’s most-famous facial, which gives skin the energy it needs for everyday metabolism, collagen synthesis, and detoxifying action. This fabulous foaming delight transforms dull, sallow, lackluster, tired skin into energized, firm, plump, party-ready skin in no time!

How do I apply?

Good question! Massage a generous layer onto damp skin. Wait 5 minutes until a full froth forms (or until it looks like you slathered your face in Cool Whip – love that!).

Call me Cool Whip Face.

Rinse well. Follow with your regular skin care routine (serum, moisturizer, etc.).No need to leave it on longer. The technology, mentioned above, delivers the needed results in that small window of time.

Fresh, post-Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask (Cool Whip-free) skin

It’s a beauty miracle!

Try it yourself for a pre-party treat at home!

In My Tub Tuesday: The glamorous…

We should all be so lucky to have that gorgeous “GLAMGLOW” ($24)… wait…

We all can!

One of my favorite beauty products to launch in 2011 was GLAMGLOW exfoliating mud mask (www.GLAMGLOWMUD.com). It’s rare to find a product that you rave on and on about AND one that works for every skin type. Even more so, a product that you sample and then feel the immediate need to go out and buy!

Awarded “The 2012 Neiman Marcus Beauty Award for Best Quick Fix & Formula”, GLAMGLOW makes us all feel glamorous & pampered by exfoliating, tightening and deep cleaning our skin. Ideal for pre-event primping, or, as a beauty ritual during your weekly exfoliation, you simply cannot go wrong with GLAMGLOW! I promise.

I received GG as a sample in January and I fell in love, I tell you. I applied it to my cleansed face, neck and décolletage, while soaking in my tub. I left it on about 10 minutes (conveniently, just enough time to read a chapter of Hunger Games and have a glass of wine) and sat back with my mudded face, reading, relaxing and letting it do its glamorous work.

How? I applied an even layer of the fresh, herbal-smelling mud, and felt a light tingling sensation, followed by a tightening effect as it dried. Just a warning, beauties: You WON’T look like a beauty during the process. But it’s only 10 minutes so lock the door!

 BOO!

When 10 minutes passed, I washed GG off with water in gentle cirular motions, stimulating greater exfoliation. Easy.

What were the results?

Tickled Pink!!!

And glamorously gloooowing!

I was tickled pink by the tingling mask! My skin has rarely felt so deeply cleansed. I had tighter, super-clean skin with fewer apparent lines, pores and wrinkles. Small lines had seemed to vanish (!) and I felt that it was the perfect complement to my skincare regimen. To be honest, it felt kind of magical to get such dramatic results from a new product. I only wished I ‘d had a party to go that night. Alas, I went to bed. But the very next day, I went out and bought a jar at Beauty Collection.

Now, GlamGlow is a must in my beauty kitchen and it’s one of my fave treats to apply before a big night.

Buy your jar now by clicking on this BeautyFrosting link to BeautyCollection:

Type  in GlamGlow in the search line and in a few moments, it will be yours!

Xoxo, BF

p.s. Celebs love it, too. Here are some thoughts about GG by a few:

“Love the smell and love the mud mask!” (Natalie Portman)

“My skin looks amazing! GLAMGLOW is my new best friend!” (The Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev)

*Photographs are real and untouched. Hide your children. It’s for the greater good of beauty product discovery.
