Let’s jump to my Barneys New York Love Yourself Women’s gift with purchase haul!
Tatcha Pure: One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil (Barneys Exclusive) | Full size $48
A blend of Japanese camellia and rice bran oil that melts away even waterproof makeup, cleanses and conditions the skin in one simple step. Skin is left petal fresh and pure. Contains HADASEI-3 Bioactive Complex, a proprietary anti-aging blend of rice bran, green tea and red algae extract.
IcanGWP review: Anything “Tatcha” or “Camellia” gets my attention. And “Barneys Exclusive” deserves more attention. Tatcha products are so incredibly well created. The bottle is gorgeous. The camellia cleansing oil aroma is delectable enough to win me over. The scent is charming and exotic, somewhat floral, sweet herbal and sunny.
The ultra-lightweight oil is excellent to touch and feel. It’s not sticky and greasy but rather melting into the face. I used around 1 teaspoon per application. I’m so pleased massaging and enjoying its calm and spa-like senses. It deeply penetrates to draw out all impurities. My skin was left with almost no oil on the surface. This cleansing oil worked brilliantly – no trace of makeup left (I used a separate eye makeup remover).
Once I rinsed it with luke warm water, the oil turned to milk and I can see all the makeup washed off! The skin is left so well hydrated and exceptionally clean. This is a must-have item on winter months, it’s so relaxing, so geisha like routine.
It is formulated without mineral oil, synthetic colors, synthetic fragrances, sulfate detergents, parabens, PEGs, PPGs, urea, DEA, TEA or phthalates – ideal for all skin types. Camellia and rice bran oils have been a secret of Japanese beauty for centuries. There are so many benefits, it penetrates beautifully and won’t clog pores. If you are among the many who are obsessed with cleansing oil, then you may add Tatcha Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil to your top list!
See Tatcha boutique at Barneys.
NARS Laguna Liquid Bronzer Review | Full size $40
SINK IN TAHITI BRONZE COLLECTION
More than a private world. A total escape for the senses. Lush. Immersive. Transporting. An exclusive collection for face and body steeped in the island experience.
IcanGWP review: This new liquid bronzer from NARS created a sophisticated look yet is so natural! This shade, Laguna, is a tan-liquid colored bronzer with peachy undertones. It’s so easy to master using this product. The bronzer goes on richly pigmented, but can be diffused if you use a lighter hand. It worked really well and blended into a smooth soft matte (skin-like) finish, making it versatile in that regard. It wears well and doesn’t run or sets into lines or pores. It’s everything you need to achieve beautiful, sunkissed skin. No sparkle, glitter, grease or shiny elements in it – fantastic to add gorgeous warmth to your skin.
Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils Review | Full size $32
IcanGWP review: I like the wand, it’s easy to use and it can pick up mascara just enough. The bristles are dense and designed to glide through lashes, separating them with ease. Plus, it coats lashes with mascara from root to tip evenly. It adds a good combination of curl, volume and length. It will not clump, or flake throughout the day. I really like the B5 Pro-Vitamin in this product. It can strengthen lashes!
Sisley-Paris Black Rose Cream Mask Review (11g) $28.85 value | Full size $162
The Black Rose Cream Mask offers the skin “instant youth” Rich in active anti-aging ingredients (black rose, Padina Pavonica, and Alkekengi Calyx extracts), it immediately gets to work on signs of fatigue and leaves the skin looking youthful and energized. It brings together three actions to restore a luminous complexion and redensified skin in just 10 to 15 minutes: a smoothing and plumping action, a revitalizing action, and a softening and hydrating action. Key ingredients:
Black Rose: smoothing, anti-free radicals
Alkekengi Calyx Extract: stimulates the synthesis of collagen fibers
Padina Pavonica: promotes the synthesis of glycoaminoglycans
Vitamin E Acetate: anti-free radicals
Red Vine: promotes radiance
Chlorella: revitalizes
Essential Oil of Geranium: contains stimulating properties
Great Mullen: protects and soothes
Shea Butter: nourishes, heals, soothes, softens, and protects
Provitamin B5: softens and hydrates
Essential Oils of Rose and Magnolia: soothes
Vegetable Glycerin: hydrates
Phytosqualane: emollient and hydrates
IcanGWP review: We have heard buzz about this magic leave-on-mask from Sisley and it lives up its fame! It is one of those high-end masks that I will keep in my beauty arsenal for use before an event or date! The ingredients are really impressive and will help hydrate and improve your skin (with some minors caveats below).
This silky pink cream mask has a fresh rose in bloom sweet scent. As soon as it touched the surface of skin, it created a cooling effect. I left it on around 4 – 5 minutes and I rinsed off the excess.This ultimate antidote plumped my hungry skin just like I had eight glasses of water, worked out, had a decent diet and got a good night’s sleep – something akin to a very healthy glow. I kept touching my cheek, my skin is incredibly soft! It also looked brightened, tightened and even slightly lifted. I’m very pleased with how great my skin looks after using this mask.
For those with sensitive skin, it contains synthetic fragrances and fragrance oils. Methylisothiazolinone is present in a very small amount. But it is not recommended on a leave on product. If you plan to invest and introduce a Kryptonite cream mask to your beauty routine, consider testing out the super-luxe Sisley-Paris Black Rose Cream Mask!
Natura Bisse Diamond Extreme Eye Review | Full size $210
An energizing lift for the eyes made especially for extreme conditions. Dual Lifting Effect, both internal and external. Expression lines and wrinkles noticeably diminish.
IcanGWP review: This sample is no doubt in the first class line from Natura Bisse! I was amazed by the goodies the eye cream had: 63 anti-ageing magic ingredients. You might have read my positive review on their Diamond Collection ($308 neck cream reviewed here). I hoped the eye cream wouldn’t contain fragrance but this product has a light lavender scent.
The white ever-so rich cream is perfect when your under eye area is stressed! Thanks to its chockfull emoliant, it hydrated my undereye and lip contour nicely. I have to admit I really like the gorgeous diamond dust on my eyelids. It’s the prettiest natural looking eyeshadow, can you believe it! It’s too soon to say if I have seen any anti-ageing. This product receive the 3.7 average score from 22 reviewers at Makeupalley. Some reviewers reported minor reactions (I don’t have any from 3 usages). It is wise to get a sample and witness it yourself! It is quite expensive but for eye cream: Nivea or Natura Bisse, Neutrogena or Natura Bisse – are your choices.
Rituals Yogi Flow Shower Gel Review | Full size $15
Unique shower foam technology. This gel transforms into a rich, nurturing foam on contact with water. Combines the ancient Ayurvedic ingredients of Sweet Almond Oil and Indian Rose.
Complete your showering ritual with Yogi Flow shower foam, Honey Touch body cream or Shanti Chakra body oil to experience the same fragrance sensation.
IcanGWP review: This brand, Rituals, does impress me again. Forget about shower gel that smells like shower gel. Each fragrance of this rich gel is inspired by an Eastern tradition. This line Yogi Flow shower gel from Rituals smells like, I don’t know, treats (not rose)!
It turns into a luxurious foam when it comes into contact with water. The gel foams up instantly into a thick lather, which moisturizes and nourishes skin. All we have to do is smooth it on – no loofah needed. I immediately felt pampered with minimal effort.
The Yogi Flow cooled and almost tingling my body in the hot shower. The sensational shower feels really good. It is almost like the after- yoga flow. I feel relaxed and fully recovered from my long day and ready for a good night’s rest. Want to feel “Yogi Flow”?
Kiehl’s Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream Review | Full size $79
Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream v isibly renews skin for smoother texture and healthy radiance. Kiehl’s harnessed the power of two natural ingredients sourced from Eastern and Western medicine, carefully selected for their healthy skin benefits.
IcanGWP review: Natural and holistic living fans will be interested in the new innovative Vitality Skin Renewing Cream from Kiehl’s rolled out in January 2017. With 99.6% all-natural ingredients, this gold cream has potent anti-aging benefits.
New Zealand Manuka honey is a rich source of iron, calcium, vitamin B, amino acids and antioxidants. When added to topical products, it has antibacterial properties (help treat acne and eczema) and it hydrates the skin intensively.
Korean red ginseng root is a very popular natural remedy. It reduces the physical stress, stimulates the turnover of skin cells, and also helps eliminate common signs of tiredness, including discoloration.
Instead of focusing on lines and wrinkle reduction, this product aims to address the face with a holistic view of improving the overall look and feel of skin. It is lightly scented (several fragrant plant extracts). It contains a little bit of BHA for a gentle exfoliation. The texture is very appealing rich butter-like. It absorbs quickly and leaves a luminous dewy finish. It is an excellent way to pamper your very dry to slightly oily skin and make sure it is getting healthier. The price of this new natural line from Kielh’s is right, really does justify their prices.
Rahua Omega 9 Hair Mask Review | Full size $58
This conditioning treatment helps inject your roots with life and shine, promoting scalp health and preserving color vibrancy.
Unlike other oils that coat hair strands, Ungurahua Oil – rich in omega-9, consists of tiny molecules that penetrate into the core of each strand to heal and fortify, infusing thirsty hair with moisture.
IcanGWP review: The mask has bouncy mousse-like texture. It smells fresh, bright and clean. Something different. It is lovely on my hair. The product is really concentrated. I can feel a thin layer of product on my hair even after it rinsed off. My hair really is stunning soft. Unquestionably, it’s an effective way to serve your dull thirsty hair with this magical mask.
Byredo La Tulipe Eau De Parfum | Full size $230
Byredo’s La Tulipe Eau De Parfum is a simple, elegant, spring-inspired fragrance that captures the excitement and freshness of the first blooms of the season.
Top notes: rhubarb, cyclamen, freesia.
Middle notes: tulip.
Base notes: blonde woods, vetiver.
