24 Kt Cleopatra Gold Facial & Mask

Gold masks are the latest beauty trend. Cleopatra was well known for applying a facial mask of PURE GOLD to her face every night before going to bed.  More recently, we hear from a Now-Daily UK magazine that celebrities like Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, and Victoria Beckham have chosen facials containing real gold flakes in their pursuit for everlasting beauty. Victoria Beckham also launched a limited edition Heaven golden bee venom mask (£352), which is around 650 CAD. 

 The 24k Gold Collagen Mask line by Jamela skin care uses pure mineral gold infused with high-strength natural plant collagen and anti-oxidants including vitamin E and rose essence to promote rapid collagen and elastin synthesis to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while firming and hydrating the skin for a lasting youthful glow.

The mask is very simple to use.  All you have to do is peel it from its pack, apply to your face, sit back, relax and let the mask do its work.  When applied to the skin, the ingredients in the Gold Collagen mask are absorbed into the skin where they immediately start to form a protective layer against free radicals. They instantly react to the skin’s natural chemistry and help to replace the collagen that decreases with age.  These innovative masks contain 100 per cent high molecular plant collagen with 24k mineral gold, which is absorbed at 10 times the rate of a traditional face mask. 

What’s more, they retain their moisture so the mask is comfortable to wear for up to 5 hours, but are effective after 30 minutes, producing no mess. After only 30 minutes, your skin looks plumper and feels smoother. Once you’ve finished with the mask pop it into a warm bath with you where they will dissolve for the additional benefits of a softer, smoother body.

Need shades? Do it the Gucci way!

By: Jayne Peres

This summer pick out your glasses with care! Designers are flocking to the idea of extending eco-friendly products to Eyewear. Haute Couture designer Gucci is one of the few to go eco-friendly with their eyewear collection set to debut this August.

Gucci has join forces with Safilo to launch a collection of eyewear. The new collection is made from innovative acetate, containing a high proportion of natural organic materials. The acetate used contains a higher percentage of natural origins compared to traditional acetate. Castor oil seeds are used as an alternative of petroleum-derived plastic which in exchange also reduces the CO2 emission in the production process.

The sunglasses and prescription frames will be available in two styles. As well, all glasses will be available in two colours which sticks to the typical tone of the Haute couture fashion house.

WAIT, theres more.... Along side the launch of Gucci's eco-sustainable eyewear collection, the package design will ALSO be affected by these changes. Gucci will present their new eco-friendly packaging, and catalogs beginning in 2012. The two brands are also working to create a new prototype made from another alternative plastic!!

The prescription frames are expected to hit Gucci stores and select retail stores in late September, while the sunglasses are expected to hit stores in October. Don't miss it!
