Intelligent Nutrients Launches Lip Delivery Antioxidant Glass
Intelligent Nutrients, the certified organic health and beauty brand created by Aveda founder, Horst Rechelbacker is gearing up to launch their first USDA Certified Organic Lip Delivery Antioxidant Gloss! Phew that’s a mouthful! A mouthful of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, oils and butters formulated to battle free radicals, oxidative stress and help fight pre-mature aging while delivering moisture and shine.
Available in two shades Clear Frosting (clear sheen) and Purple Maize (light purple tint), I’ve trying the latter and it smells like chocolate raspberry cake! It’s clean tube packaging, has a brush application at the tip. It’s lightweight and delivers a soft purple sheen.
Intelligent Nutrients Lip Delivery Antioxidant Gloss will be available on August at Barneys New York and ABC Home

A Night to Remember…
Having recently ordered Francois Nars’ latest book NARS 15×15, I could not pass up the opportunity to see the man behind the brand that began my career in beauty almost 5 years ago (and I wanted my book signed!). So I began my evening at Barneys, where Mr. Nars (alongside Simon Doonan) was more than gracious with his time and appreciation for my past work with NARS. Having the opportunity to see Francois Nars again and reunite with some of the makeup artists and NARS team was very special for me.
He signed my book ‘For Lara, with many thanks and love, Francois Nars’! My copy and I are going to have a very long and loving life together. The book is stunning and the proceeds will be donated to 15 charities selected by the featured celebrities.
I then made my way to the Kiehl’s Since 1851 Flagship Store to celebrate the holidays with
