I went to the FaceGym at Nordstrom's NYC Flagship store on 57th street in New York City. I have wanted to try FaceGym for some time now; the before and after results are enough to make you want to run, not walk, or get in a workout! I sat down, put on the FaceGym brand sweatband, and got to work. I must admit, it is a bit jarring to have your cheeks whipped and flicked, but once I settled into it, I wish it never ended. I was so excited I failed to take a before picture, but my skin was glowing for days after hitting this gym.
With 11 locations in four different cities — London, Manchester, New York, and Los Angeles — come into a FaceGym studio and let their trainers get to work. It’s one of the most relaxing workouts you’ll ever have. I mean it when I say run, don’t walk, to your nearest FaceGym!
This month, the gender-neutral brand released their first-ever line including three scents, all under the same intention to awake your body and soul. Agua de Santos, Espiritu, and La Mar are all a part of the inaugural BŌllaboration. With heavy notes of clary sage, neroli, Mexican Oakwood, Arabian jasmine, and more it is imperative to note that these scents are clouded in a signature thickness of fragrance, and aren't to be forgotten. This collection also features a sought-after perfume primer, 'Nourishing Parfum Primer', for long-lasting preparation for your daily spritz and a nourishing feel due to its ingredients including Vitamine e, Hyloranic acid, and Aloe vera.
This limited collection is novel in the world of 2-hour wear and replicated notes in the perfume industry. Its authenticity calls out for a consumer base like itself, one that is daring in identity and committed for the long run.
House of BŌ is available to purchase for $290 at www.houseofbo. co
For Nordstrom, if you want to do something, doing it right the first time is its main priority. Which can explain why they teamed up with Sisley Paris to host several modifying and beauty treatments in their tiny oasis. Sisley Paris is better known all over the world for its plant-based skincare, including a famous black rose face mask that is a standing symbol on the average it-girl's vanity. Before getting a facial, I was assured I would be in good hands from the nail tech a walk away at Base Coat, as the esthetician spearheading Sisley Paris' services has been working there since the opening of the Beauty Haven.
Past the mini kiosks lied rooms in a secluded and closed-off area where they buried the studios for facials, massages, and more invasive treatments. Without education, it was understood that there are facials and then there are facials. Whether you’re after one that uses invasive hi-tech extracting tools to rid of your blackheads and perfect your pores, or if you're looking for an esthetician with the most loving hands to bring the glow back into your face after a weeks worth of work's depletion, Sisley provides that for you, education and product knowledge included. The fixed opportunities that lie within Sisley Paris is that it leaves so much room for you to choose from that will cater best to your individual needs.
From the 12 curated options, the Phyto-aromatic skin Perfecting Facial that lasted an all-inclusive 50 minutes of pampering and education stood out. This particular treatment is a luxurious journey of softness and pleasure, that softens expression lines and refines the skin, revealing its radiance and freshness. A skin-perfecting treatment targeting all marvels accountable for dilated pores, exposing flawless-looking skin, in all lighting. And, the esthetician works with your individual needs because skin isn't a monolith. In this personal experience, the skin therapist focused on brightening and ridding of blackheads because that's what my skin called for. The 50-minute treatment leaves exposed flawless-looking skin that rejuvenates the surface and retains its natural bounce and radiance.
