ecoTOOLS™’ latest venture: a collaboration with accomplished actress and environmental activist Alicia Silverstone to produce a brand-new cosmetic bag collection, ecoTOOLS™ by Alicia Silverstone.
Launching in December 2009 at Walgreens and Target stores, the line includes a complete set of five cosmetic bags, ranging from a brush bag with a brush set to an overnight bag. The perfect addition to holiday travel or a stylish stocking stuffer, each bag is produced with a natural hemp material and uses a recycled PET lining. Renowned for its environmentally-friendly cosmetic brushes, bath accessories, and new bath & body care collection, ecoTOOLS™enters unchartered territory with an eco-conscious set of cosmetic bags. This holiday season, Alicia and ecoTOOLS™ will show how simple it is to be eco-friendly and fabulous, one sustainably stylish step at a time.
As ecoTOOLS™ continued to grow, parent company Paris Presents, Inc. aspired to extend its reach further. Not only were they looking to inspire consumers by taking small, but smart, steps towards making the world a greener place, but they were also searching for a voice to exemplify that message. The solution was simple: cultivate a relationship with a solid spokesperson and develop products that would be accessible, affordable and beautiful. As an avid fan of ecoTOOLS™ and notable environmental activist, Alicia Silverstone was a natural choice.
With ecoTOOLS™ by Alicia Silverstone, it’s never been easier to be green and gorgeous. The collection, which features some of Alicia’s favorite flowers, offers sleek design, natural materials and fabulous functionality.

Tippi Shorter, Pantene Celebrity Stylist, styled Alicia Key’s hair last night for the American Music Awards. Alicia dominated the stage, performing her and Jay-Z’s smash hit “Empire State of Mind” while also rocking it solo with her new song “Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart.” 
Here’s How Tippi Gave Alicia Her Red Carpet ‘Do:
Alicia recently got her hair colored a few shades lighter with Clairol, so Tippi started off by washing her hair with the Pantene Pro-V Color Revival Shampoo & Conditioner to keep her color looking healthy and vibrant for the camera. Since Alicia performed twice on stage on top of walking the red carpet, Tippi came up with a fun updo that transformed effortlessly throughout the night. Alicia has always been well known for her braids, so Tippi decided to incorporate a creative twist that involved light, romantic braiding.
After Alicia’s hair was washed, Tippi sprayed the Pantene Pro-V Detangling Light Conditioning Spray to condition and protect her hair before heat styling. The detangler helped smooth her hair while Tippi blow-dried with a Mason Pearson brush. Tippi wanted to recreate the backward Mohawk braid that she did for Alicia’s most recent music video, so she sectioned the hair into three sections front to back. Then, she gathered the two outermost sections and secured the in ponytail using Ojon Animated Styling Cream. With the center section, Tippi started a braid from the nape all the way to the front, making it a little off center. She tucked the end of the braid underneath the main braid and secured with bobby pins. To finish the look with strong hold, Tippi used Ojon Tunu Elastik Hairspray and Bed Head Headrush Shine Spray.
There’s no doubt we wouldn’t jump on the chance to smooch any of these three hot, Hollywood babes. So what do a vampire, an America Idol and TV’s sexiest Upper East-Sider all have in common you may ask? They all keep their luscious lips soft, hydrated and kissable with eos Lip Balm Smooth Spheres ($3.29).
As American Idol’s Adam Lambert gets ready to drop his new album, For Your Entertainment, on November 23rd he makes sure to load up on this balm to prevent his money maker from getting chapped.
Kellan Lutz knows that all the attention will be on his fangs and pout, so it’s important he keeps his lips soft and smooth.
Let’s face it, who doesn’t stare at Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick’s desirable mouth each week? Now we know he lathers up on eos before he gets ready for that passionate kiss with Blair.
Available in three mouth-watering flavors; Summer Fruit, Honeysuckle Honeydew and Sweet Mint and packed with antioxidant-rich vitamin E, soothing shea butter and jojoba oil, eos Lip Balm Smooth Spheres are guaranteed to keep lips sensationally soft and smooth this season!

Don't let the name fool you: SLEEKSkin is not just for the finely contoured face, It's for the taut and young, the loose and old, the scarred the splotchy, the spotted and the spotless. It's a full service collection of problem solving products specifically formulated to ease every skin woe known to woman and man.
Culled from over a decade of experiential body shaping, SLEEKSkin is the creation of SLEEK MedSpa. Since its flagship doors opened in 1999, SLEEK has challenged the very nature of MedSpa and blurred the line between clinical body sculpting and total face and body rejuvenation. Having perfected the in-office state-of-the-art treatments that improve appearances from head-to-toe, SLEEK has pooled its fine tuned wisdom of the human body and focused it with laser-like precision on a line of skin solutions tailored to replicate their cutting edge treatments. Suffice it to say that
SLEEK knows a thing or three about the beauty of skin and its malleable properties, not to mention its limitations.
Oily-acneic skin is one of the most difficult to treat however, the Oily-Acneic Skin Kit ($199.95) is effective in keeping oil in check and breakouts at bay without stripping and over dry. Clients will see a reduction in sebum and clearer complexion while forgoing the distress of harsh ingredients which dehydrate and irritate. The skin is brought back into balance.
Step 1 - De-Clog: Refine, cleanse and refresh your face with this gentle, but effective cleanser. It is enriched with Alpha Hydroxy and Beta Hydroxy Acids to reach deeply into blocked pores to rid skin of trapped oils and toxins. It will also help you maintain a clear complexion and allow exfoliants and peels to penetrate more deeply into the skin. This is the key product to use on a daily basis to keep those acne flair-ups at bay.
Note: Pump a dime-size amount into the palm of the hand; rub hands together to create a light lather and massage into skin with fingertips for up to one minute. Rinse with water and pat dry.
Key Ingredients: Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Oil
Price: $38.95
Step 2 - Tame: Tame will control and balance facial oil. It packs a powerful punch with a blend of Salicylic, Glycolic and Alpha Hydroxy Acids. This product was created to help detoxify, tone and refresh the skin. The combination of acids is balanced and gentle enough to restore the skin's pH level and enhance the regeneration process of the skin.
Note: Apply to cotton pad and sweep the skin; allow to absorb before applying other treatment products.
Key Ingredients: Gingseng Extract, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Witch Hazel
Price: $38.95
Step 3 - Clear: Clear is a lightweight exfoliator and moisturizer in one that is ideal for all skin types. Without a hint of oiliness, it will help reduce buildup throughout the day by quickly absorbing into the skin, mattifying the surface and gently cleaning clogged pores. It will help your skin stay hydrated, mattified and clarified.
Note: Apply to clean skin and allow to dry. Apply daily or as directed.
Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Seaweed Bio-Peptide Extracts
Price: $78.95
Step 4 - Matte: As an advanced moisturizer, the Matte combines the natural Willow Herb and Salicylic Acid to help limit sebum production, reduce pore size and maintain a flawless complexion. It truly delivers hydration to combination, oily and / or Acneic skin while fighting off breakouts and subduing excessive oil production.
Key Ingredients: Willow Herb and Salicylic Acid
Price: $72.95
Reviewer's Notes: As someone who has combination skin, I have a tendency to breakout on an occasion. Therefore, I was eager to give the Oily-Acneic Skin Kit a try even if it meant foregoing my usual skin care routine. I'm very pleased (and astonished) with the results that this skin treatment helped me achieve.

Move over full lips. Eyelashes are the next beauty must-have for 2009-2010. From the pages of magazines to Hollywood’s red carpet, batting full, luxurious lashes is the latest “It” accessory. No matter how many coats of mascara or layers of extensions we apply, it seems like we can never achieve the look without getting the “Tammy Faye Baker” effect. Mascaras and lash extensions are unforgiving on eyelashes, leaving you with dry, brittle, and damaged lashes. LashFood is a new natural conditioning stimulant for thicker, stronger and more beautiful lashes in just 2 to 4 weeks!
“Many women denote their eyes as their best feature,” says Jane Kim, President and Founder of LashFood. “Long, full eyelashes have always symbolized femininity and exudes Hollywood glamour. For great eyelashes, it used to be either you had them, or you didn't. Now, with LashFood we can all have captivating eyes like legendary femme fatale Brigitte Bardot and iconic supermodel Twiggy. At LashFood, we provide consumers with the best eyelash care products to enhance their natural beauty.”
LashFood’s breakthrough natural ingredients, including Biotin an essential vitamin, Arginine a natural amino acid, and herbal extracts, helps promote the natural growth and strength of eyelashes and eyebrows. The result: your lashes become thicker, darker, and longer with this revolutionary conditioner.
How to Use LashFood?
The LashFood applicator is very similar to a liquid eyeliner applicator. One should apply the stimulating serum nightly along the root of the lashes. For faster results, apply the serum in the morning and in the evening. LashFood does not disrupt the daily application of make-up or other skincare routines.
What is in LashFood?
LashFood is formulated with the highest grade all natural ingredients available, and is designed to condition, repair, restore, and create longer healthier and more beautiful eyelashes and eyebrows. LashFood retails for $129 and will last up to 5 months.
When Can I Expect to See Results?
One should begin to see the lash line becoming thicker, fuller and healthier looking in just 2 to 4 weeks. LashFood will continue to prove results over time if used on a consistent basis.
Can LashFood be Used with Eyelash Extensions?
LashFood is a natural and water based product designed to be used with natural lashes as well as with eyelash extensions. LashFood can coincide with any daily mascara or eyelash extension product.
The giveaway will conclude November 30th.

Wiggly, wrinkly necks might look good on Fido but not so adorable on you.
According to Dr. Robb Akridge, “as we grow older, we lose collagen and elasticity in our skin, including the neck area. The skin in the neck area is very thin and has few sebaceous oil glands and, consequently, little natural moisture, so signs of aging tend to appear.”
If you’re going to stick your neck out (other options of course include strict wardrobe adherence to turtlenecks and scarves), make sure you’re aptly caring for it… That’s why practicing a skin regimen rich in hydration and anti-aging benefits is equally important as face and eye care when it comes to guaranteeing a more youthful looking neck. Combat dry texture, uneven pigmentation and sunspots with regular sonic care cleansing.
The Clarisonic Skin Care System is gentle enough for the neck area, and effectively polishes away rough areas while helping to prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
“And don’t forget,” adds Dr. Akridge, “Fight gravity every step of the way by applying your moisturizer to the neck area in an upward motion.”
Detail + care are the core values of Sponge Skincare. Originally formulated by a doctor for the care of his pregnant patients without the intent to sell, more than 30 years of research has enabled sponge to pinpoint nature’s most powerful plants thru a chemical-free extraction process. Sponge products are hand-blended, and each cream has a base of first pressed extra-virgin olive oil to promote firming, anti-oxidant and overall health benefits to the skin.
Sponge uses only the finest organic and wild-crafted ingredients which are naturally extracted by boiling the plants, herbs and flowers to particular temperatures and times based upon the maturity and the region in Greece it was grown to retain the highest amount of nutrients and vitamins. It is a slow process but it is also very pure to help ensure that your skin will ultimately benefit.
The highest sustainable growing standards are upheld where their plants, herbs and flowers are nurtured and harvested. They have also developed a method of testing products for safety and efficacy that is cruelty-free, which has been accepted by the Dermatological Society of Europe.
I can't get enough of any type of body lotion. The Galaktoma Somatos Body Milk ($65) is no exception. It moisturizes very well despite the very thin, lightweight texture. Peppermint cools and refreshes, St. John's wort smoothes, virgin olive oil increases radiance and olive leaf neutralizes free radicals with antioxidants. It smells absolutely fantastic! This sumptuous body milk keeps my skin feeling well pampered and moisturized throughout the day without having the need to re-apply. It absorbs rather quickly (within 5 minutes) and doesn't leave a tinge of greasiness or stickiness behind. For extra pampering, you can mix it with 2-3 drops of Ladi Avokanto Avocado Oil ($100) and apply it to moist skin following a bath or shower.
The price might be a bit steep for some, but it is a highly recommended product, especially if you're looking for something that contains the healthiest ingredients for your skin!
I've never tried anything quite satisfying as the Ladi Avokanto Avocado Oil ($100) as far as skin care goes. I don't think I have had this avocado oil for even 2 months, and I'm almost ashamed to say that I'm about out. It is that addictive! I honestly didn't expect the avocado oil to smell so good, but this one has a highly fragrant scent. This avocado oil contains the highest quality of avocado oil mixed with olive leaf and vitamins D and E. These ingredients work together to restore, firm and condition skin while neutralizing free radicals with potent antioxidants.
I don't use this on my face since I have sensitive skin. I'm afraid that this would cause me to breakout even though they recommend this product for all skin types. Therefore, I have also been using this product as a body moisturizer. It is even safe enough to use in your hair. Once in awhile I will apply it on my ends to nourish dry ends, and it works!
The Sponge Skincare collection consists of 11 hand-blended, wild-crafted products for face and body. You can discover Sponge Skincare at SpongeSkincare.com, DermStore, and in-store at Barney's New York. Sponge Skincare created an exclusive line at Richard Gere and Carey Lowell's award winning Bedford Post Inn.
