Can you believe it? 2 Good 2 B True? Cool nailpolish that lasts and is text, baby text. Our friends at China Glaze have wowed us with their new collections. In a word: kewl. Here’s the thing: regardless of their eco collection or OMG lines, as guests feted at the Penthouse Suite we learned about hot colors for spring. While brights will be stylin’ on our feet as far as footwear goes, they’ll be on our toes as well. Yellows, greens, and blues will be in for pedicures as will platinum. Now only if the weather will warm up we will be all set!

Now that we have started our fitness program, let’s move on  to the next step in looking our best this summer. Let’s talk about skin care basics and how to get the most out of spa dollards and facials experience.  While researching various spas and reading negative  feedbacks   on city guide sites can be a little scary, there are a few ways to  learn whether you have chosen the right spa. If you can answer with a yes to all of the following questions then you are currently getting a great facial.     

1. Did your aesthetician remove any makeup from your face and then apply a   gentle scrub? 
2. Was this scrub followed by a massage? 
3. Did your aesthetician use a steam machine before extractions? 
4. Was the steam machine experience relaxing? 
5. Did your aesthetician use gloves or an extraction tool to remove any black   or whiteheads? 
6. Did the extraction experience leave no more temporary redness or a tiny scab   where an extraction took place? 
7. Was the extraction followed by a mask for at least 10 minutes? 
8. Was the mask followed by another cleansing and a moisturizer?

Whether or not you’ve been to a spa now you know what you    should expect when getting a facial.  STYLE ME NYC RECOMMENDS
