Beauty Find of the Week: Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion ( Special Edition)

Earth Day is on Wednesday (yeap I’m early) and I know it’s a time to conserve and to be conscious about mother earth, but I say do so in style with a special edition of Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion . There are 4 special edition bottles featuring art work from Environmental Activist/Actor Adrian Grenier, Socially Conscious/Neo Soul Super Star Erykah Badu, Coral Reef Protector/Professional Surfer Kelly Slater, and a team of eco/design conscious students from Parsons The New School of Design. Not only will the labels be beautiful but the packages are made from 100% Post Consumer Recycled materials ( PCR), and for each bottle sold not 10, 20, 35, 40, 50 but 100% of the profits will go to Waterkeeper Alliance ( chaired by Robert F Kennedy Jr) which is dedicated to protecting and preserving community water ways from polluters. And as I always say when I write about Kiehl’s what’s inside the bottle is equally impressive the lotion contains fairly traded organic Moroccan Agran Oil/Argan Leaf extract, Vitamin E, and Organic Sesame Oil. Now, I’m torn on what bottle to get, I love Erykah Badu, but Kelly Slater is kind of cute. What bottle will you get?

AD-diction: Tom Ford White Patchouli

I haven’t written an “AD-diction” post in a while, and it’s basically because no ad has really moved me until I saw Tom Ford’s ad for his new White Patchouli fragrance popping up all over the internet. Hell, I don’t even know what the perfume smells like ( although Patchouli makes me think downtown Berkeley) but the portraits of Erykah Badu looking radiant, and naturally flawless in black and white cradling the fragrance in her perfectly manicured hand has me ready to beat down the doors of Sephora to pick it up. I know it’s not a new idea to use musicians in clothing/beauty ad’s but Erykah Badu is out there even for the music industry so I say bravo to Tom Ford for making a beautiful and unconventional choice!
