PHILIP KINGSLEY CURL ACTIVATOR Girls, Start Your Curls

Philip Kingsley’s latest innovation, the Curl Activator, takes the guesswork out of teasing locks into flirtatious curls. As a leader in the hair care industry, Philip Kingsley knows a thing or two about the nature of hair, particularly when it comes to curls. This light, non sticky formula provides the perfect amount of hold to ensure defined curls while infusing each and every curl with maximum shine. Suitable for all hair types, the formula is designed to enhance, smooth and separate curls. Those in the pursuit of perfectly imperfect curls, we salute you.

The new Curl Activator contains the following key ingredients to ensure ultimate curl retention, hold and shine:

· Dimethicone – injects shine and improves the feel of hair

· VP/VA Copolymer – a styling polymer which makes hair combing easier and does not cause any drag during brushing; provides hold and curl retention and inhibits the hair’s ability to absorb moisture, helping to eliminate frizz

Directions:

· Distribute evenly through damp hair and scrunch dry or leave to dry naturally. For added definition, scrunch into hair when dry.

$28.00 (150 ml)

Philip Kingsley products are available at Space NK stores nationwide, Space NK Bloomingdales, online at www.philipkingsley.com and at the New York City Philip Kingsley Clinic, 16 East 52nd Street

ELASTICIZER

Does you hair look ratty and splitting at the ends? Is your hair lacking moisture and shine? This “cult” hair care essential from Philip Kingsley will dramatically improve the condition of your hair after just one use. The world’s first pre-shampoo conditioning treatment and Philip’s number one “hero” product will not thicken hair or weigh it down. Suitable for all hair types, Elasticizer delivers a rush of moisture inside the hair’s cuticle – silkiness, suppleness, elasticity, bounce and strength are instantly apparent.

Elasticizer has become a vital part of every Philip Kingsley Clinical Treatment. Visible results from one application will build with continued use. The perfect ingredient combination continues to provide UV protection even after washing – helping prolong the life of color treatments.

For best results, before washing, wet hair thoroughly and apply Elasticizer in sections, especially at the mid-lengths and ends. Use fingertips to work-in thoroughly for one minute and then shampoo and rinse twice before conditioning as usual. For an extra affect for severely damaged hair, cover with a plastic cap for 20 minutes before shampooing hair.

CELLCEUTICALS® BIOMEDICAL SKIN TREATMENTS

ANNOUNCES A REVOLUTIONARY NEW APPROACH TO ANTI-AGING

Beverly Hills, CA,– With anti-aging skin care treatments accounting for the fastest growing segment within the skincare category with an increase of 67% from 2002 to 2007 to reach $14.9 billion, according to Euromonitor International, it’s clear that an aging population is searching for the fountain of youth. With plastic surgery procedures increasing 7% in 2007 as compared to 2006, some consumers are choosing to turn to cosmetic procedures in order to recapture their youthful look.

However, not everyone is a candidate for cosmetic surgery, and consumers are also seeking less-invasive approaches to maintain a youthful appearance. As a result, world-renowned Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, and beauty industry veteran, Paul Scott Premo, have combined their extensive expertise and experience to create CellCeuticals® Biomedical Skin Treatments: a revolutionary system that integrates the latest advances in biotechnology and medical science into bio-treatments that target the underlying source of cellular skin aging and help re-create visibly younger skin.

The Situation: Not Everyone Is A Candidate For Plastic Surgery

Not every individual is a candidate for plastic surgery. Dr. Garth Fisher, Co-Developer of CellCeuticals® Biomedical Skin Treatments explains, “People are always surprised to hear that I turn away 40% of those who walk into my office because either they are not a candidate for procedures, have unrealistic expectations, or simply their skin is not in an optimal condition for procedures. Now, with the introduction of CellCeuticals®, I am able to offer a clinically effective skin treatment system for those who are not ready for plastic surgery.”

The Solution: CellCeuticals® Biomedical Skin Treatments

While surgery is not for everyone, taking care of one’s skin is a part of everyone’s daily regimen. “With years of work in the beauty industry, I know first hand that savvy customers expect more than a ‘glorified miracle in a bottle’ and ‘empty promises,’” says Paul Scott Premo, CEO of CellCeuticals® Skin Care, Inc. “They’re frustrated with unrealistic claims. They want products that deliver their promised results. With this in mind, Dr. Fisher and I developed a new generation of bio-treatments that apply the latest advancements in cellular science, which help counteract the visible effects of skin aging.”

The Science: Proprietary & Patent Pending Technology

The CellCeuticals Growth Factor Peptide (GFPä ) Cellular Complex is a groundbreaking technology combining next generation lipopeptides, retinol and antioxidants in a proprietary nanoemulsion delivery system that targets cellular skin aging. The GFP Cellular Complex was designed to facilitate a “proliferation response” and eliminate the “inflammatory response” common with other anti-aging ingredients and procedures.

The GFP Cellular Complex triggers cellular stimulation to encourage the regeneration of vital proteins responsible for firmer, thicker and youthful looking skin.

Stephens & Associates conducted the extensive eight-week, independent clinical study under the direction of Chief Science Investigator Dr. Thomas Stephens. The results of the clinical study concluded the CellCeuticalsâ Skin Treatments System with GFP Cellular Complex was proven to:

· Diminish visible wrinkles by 36%

· Decrease the appearance of the deepest wrinkle depth by 45%

· Renew skin smoothness by 64%

· Refine skin texture by 31%

· Reveal skin radiance by 33%

· Revitalize skin tone by 24%

· Restore skin firmness by 20%

· Replenish skin moisture by 48%

· Reduce skin redness by 87%

The CellCeuticals® Biomedical Skin Treatment collection consists of patent-pending custom packaging design, which articulates the brand’s innovation, technology and luxury positioning. The collection includes:

Sarah Horowitz Parfums What Comes From Within fragrances were conceived out of perfumer Sarah Horowitz’s desire to pay tribute to the phenomena of inner beauty. As an artist, she has always striven to create fragrances that express the individuality of the wearer and entice those around them. These latest designs are no different, and are conceptually based on the powerful connection between the spirit, heart and mind. Each fragrance is formulated to evolve differently on everyone, and can be worn alone or layered with the other fragrances in the series for uniquely beautiful results. Wear these exquisite perfumes and prepare to enter that place where all great journeys begin.

NewsandBeauty.com Editors adore Love Comes From Within for Valentine’s Day! Its seductive clove top note introduces a sensuously sexy middle note of spicy carnation and rose, a flower long renowned for its aphrodisiac properties. The fragrance’s textured, warm base note accord of Tunisian amber, French vanilla, clean musk and Indian sandalwood beckons others to draw near as it evolves on the skin. Love Comes From Within is a fragrance designed to inspire that priceless love of self that makes one irresistible to others.

And Sarah’s Perfect Perfume series offers delicious notes for all fragrance aficionados. The series includes:

Perfect Bliss

Euphoric and sexy

Perfumer Sarah Horowitz-Thran created Perfect Bliss to mirror the intoxicating scent of the floral arrangements at her November 2002 wedding. Find your bliss with this fragrance featuring luscious top notes of blood orange, mango, and papaya; a romantic middle accord of gardenia; and warm, sexy base notes of vanilla, patchouli, cedar and musk.

Perfect Gardenia

Sensual, innocent and alluring

This is the first fragrance created in the Perfect Perfumes line and it is still one of our most popular. Floral scents such as gardenia are, for many people, highly evocative of romance. Women of all ages have had powerful reactions to this fragrance, the most frequent comment being that it is the most authentic replication of a gardenia’s scent they have ever encountered.

Perfect Kiss

Electrifying and flirtatious

Perfect Kiss is a deliciously exhilarating tribute to romantic love, both new and rekindled. Its sexy, come-hither meeting of night blooming jasmine and honeysuckle rests upon a base note accord of creamy sandalwood and warm amber that is made even more inviting by a hint of dark chocolate. This fragrance dangerously leaves one smelling positively edible. Wear Perfect Kiss to ignite your charms and inspire someone else’s.

Perfect Nectar

Joyful, tropical and almost edible

Luscious and exotic, this succulent fragrance features top notes of tangerine and blood orange, followed by middle notes of papaya, mango, ylang ylang and green tea. Perfect Nectar’s base accord is a bed of soft, white flowers.

Perfect Vanilla

Warm, mouthwatering and inviting

Vanilla is a scent that, for many, evokes a sense of home and comfort. Due to its popularity in perfumery, our challenge was to create a vanilla fragrance that is unique. This was achieved through the use of such unusual complementary notes as blood orange and tobacco. Perfect Vanilla is enjoyed by both men and women.

Perfect Veil

Clean, subtle and provocative

The concept behind this scent was to recreate the smell of clean, naked skin … only better. Exquisite and subtle when worn alone, it may also be layered to increase any fragrance’s warmth and staying power. This scent captured an immediate following upon its release as well as the attention of the national press. Perfect Veil is enjoyed by both men and women.
