Makeup Bag at Kate Somerville

On a recent trip to Los Angeles, we stopped into the Kate Somerville clinic on Melrose Avenue for a life-changing facial. (You think we’re kidding, but we’re totally not.)

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate

A favorite of celebrities and beauty editors alike, Kate Somerville offers unparalleled products and services in an atmosphere so charming, we can’t stop talking about it. Our friends are sick of hearing about the clinic’s gorgeous fabrics and wall paper, the amazing treatment we received (our esthetician, Mandy, surely mistook us for a celebrity), and the way the pores in our skin suddenly became invisible—invisible—after an hour in Mandy’s care. Yesterday, our friend Rachel told us to just shut up already after we gushed for the sixteenth time about how amazing the Kate Somerville Protect SPF 30 Sunscreen smells.

Kate Somerville Clinic

After settling into our treatment room, Mandy talked us through each step of the facial process and gave us tips on how to maintain healthy skin between appointments (hint: Clarisonic Skincare Brush combined with Kate Somerville Gentle Daily Wash).

We also learned of the many services and procedures the clinic offers including injectibles like botox and fillers and laser treatments like Laser Genesis and Solar Genesis for treating wrinkles, skin texture, sun spots and age spots.

The next time you’re in LA, stop in and say hello to Mandy and be prepared to walk out with the best skin your face has ever seen. (And don’t be surprised if you recognize the wall paper from our newly-renovated living room.)

Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts can be found at 8428 Melrose Place in Los Angeles, by phone at (323) 655-7546, or online at katesomerville.com.

NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss and Nail Polish Gift Set

NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss and Nail Polish Gift Set

We first spied NARS Orgasm Nail Polish backstage at New York Fashion Week and thought we’d never survive the nearly-three-month-wait for it to hit Sephora.

We survived (surprise!) and now the peachy-pink, shimmery hue that has been loved by makeup junkies for years is available in a nail polish at your local Sephora. It is a Limited Edition so be sure to get your hands on a set before they disappear.

(Don’t fret if you can’t get your hands on a bottle—it will also be a part of the NARS Fall Collection hitting counters this summer.)
