Beauty File: Clarins Spa Facials

 Clarins is running a special this month where you can get a 50 minute spa facial for $50 (Regular pricing on this is $75).
Clarins facials use ClarinsPRO products; scientfically advanced, professional use formulas that deliver anti-aging results.  You cannot purchase ClarinsPRO Products, but some of the other products used are available online and in-store.  Some of my favorite products used on me for this facial are below.  You should know that all of the facials incorporate the Clarins Double Serum.




It's no secret that I'm a big Clarins loyalist. I really enjoy their products and firmly believe the science behind the brand helps create products that help benefit my skin both shorterm and longterm .
This week, I had a Clarins Spa Facial.  What's that you ask?  You may not be aware, but chances are that at your nearest Clarins makeup counter, you can get a Clarins Spa Facial.
I was lucky this week, because after being slammed at work, I took a moment to myself and experienced one of these - it was amazing.amazing.

Here's how it works:

You book your appointment at your local Clarins Spa, mine is located inside of Nordstrom, at the Village of Merrick Park (many Bloomingdales stores also offer this service).  I recommend you make your appointment with Lourdes, she is really great.  If you would like to make your appointment at Merrick park, the phone number to book your facial is: 786-999-1313 (extension 1055).

If you would like to call the Nordstrom Beauty Concierge to determine if your local Nordstrom has this service, you can call 800.7.Beauty (24 hours a day). 

The Experience: 
When you arrive, you are taken to a very quiet, very zen spa room behind the hustle and bustle of the makeup counters.  The room is pretty quiet / soundproof.  Whatever background noise you initially hear is drowned out by the soft music that begins to play when the experience begins.  There is a comfortable bed, with plush linens (super soft).  You change into your robe, get comfy; the lights are dimmed.

The Clarins specialist assess your skin while asking you about any concerns you may have.  The facial is then tailored specifically to meet your own needs. The products used throughout are unique from person to person.  I would say this was more like an experience than a facial.
There was an upper body and chest massage, where hydrating oils were used to massage my face, shoulders, arms and hands.  Certain massage techniques were used to release toxins (lymph draining massage techniques, as well as cupping massages).
There was a really soothing and effective scrub and peel which helped leave my skin so smooth for days after.
This was the best experience.  I'll go back every two weeks for as long as I can.

Furla Relaunch - Miami Boutique, Village of Merrick Park

The Furla boutique at the Village of Merrick park got a makeover!  The store, which is located on the ground level, next to the Nordstrom's entrance, received a major redo in order to usher in the new Spring 2014 collection.
If you are not familiar with the brand, chances are that you will fall in love with the Candy collection - colored "jelly" bags and clutches that are too cute to pass up.  If you're a Furla loyalist, you will be pleasantly surprised by the new collection, which features lots of textured leather, and gorgeous colors, staying true to the brand.  There's something for everyone at the store, including mini handbags, keychains, belts, and shoes

The Furla Candy bags make great holiday / Christmas gifts - they're fun and fashion forward.  They retail for about $250 but they frequently go on sale at retailers like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales, where they will be listed at a discount.. For the holiday season, Nordstrom has price matching, and this Candy satchel is currently 30% off.

Chanel Brunch + Chanel Sublimage, Neiman Marcus, Merrick Park, Coral Gables

I was invited to attend a brunch at Neiman Marcus - at the Chanel makeup counter at Merrick Park in Coral Gables.  I got my makeup done by the very talented Jessica Concepcion before the Gap event.  I met the sweetest members of the Chanel staff, Alicia, Ada & Jessica, and made a new friend named Sarah (shoutout!) Thank you to Brigid for my invite!

I had just enough time to take in a really delicious chicken salad courtesy of Mariposa and delighted in the indulgent Chanel Sublimage products presentation.

Chanel eye shadows; my favorites include Amethyst and Black Star.
I also have recently acquired a love for the Illusion D'Ombre Longwear Luminous Eyeshadows - these are creme shadows that instantly dry from a creme to powder, and they have the most delicious velvety texture. They're super pigmented and can also be used as liners (although I recommend a setting spray if you're going this route). Absolutely love this product.  My favorite shades include Apparition (deep navy blue),  Initiation (glittery bronze), Convoitise (another bronzy shade) and Emerveille, a great, soft goldish pinkish every day shade.
