Always in search of the latest and greatest, we packed up the SpaGirl buggy and headed to Las Vegas for the International Spa Association show in November. Among the hundreds of exciting new beauty and spa products to debut in 2009, here are just a few of our faves.
Danica Aromatics I Am perfumes. Spritz your way to self expression! These fun scents reflect a wide range of personalities with aromas ranging from spirit to wild. Each bottle is wrapped in bright, bold packaging as colorful as your every mood. Perfect for layering! Just don’t mix “I Am Wild” with “I am Naked.” You never know what might happen! $29-$65 per bottle. Get them at iamdanica.com.
Ole Henriksen African Red Tea skincare. You don’t have to hightail it to L.A. to be pampered like a celeb. Get the Hollywood Ole (that’s pronounced ooh-la) Henriksen FACE/BODY treatment at home with this uplifting collection packed with antioxidants and nourishing botanicals. The luscious new line includes an African red tea brown sugar body scrub, firming body mask, self-heating body souffle, foaming African red tea facial cleanser, and other face and bod products suitable for all skin types. $15-$65 per product. Get it at olehenriksen.com.
Pure Fiji Coconut Milk & Honey Bath and Body. Lavish in this eco-friendly, Fiji-made collection that calls on exotic botanicals to nourish even the scaliest skin. Vitamin-rich coconut milk oil hydrates while the antibacterial properties of Fiji honey improve skin tone and elasticity. Starting at $40 but worth every pretty penny. Get it at purefiji.com.
Talika Eyebrow Extender Gel. Has a DIY waxing job left you tragically browless? Easily mask an over-groomed nightmare with this revolutionary gel that contains tiny fibers to fill in the gaps. Swipe the wand over your pencil-thin brows for the appearance of thicker (or at least visible) face framers. Comes in light brown, dark brown and black. $35 per tube. Get it at talika.com.
Sence Rose Water. Secret ingredient: Extract of Bulgarian rose petals. This elegant, naturally colored and flavored water is rich in Vitamin C and dare we say it–even has a hint of sex appeal. A non-carbonated and caffeine-free alternative to juice or soda, Sence comes in traditional and lower-sugar light versions. Great as a champagne or cocktail mixer! $4 per bottle. Get it at sencenectar.com.
Zico Coconut Water. Replenish essential nutrients lost after an intense yoga session without the sugar and chemicals found in popular sports drinks. ZICO is 100% natural coconut water with potassium and electrolytes to promote recovery, ease stress, boost hydration and keep muscles moving. Natural, mango and passion fruit flavors available. $25 for 12-pack. Get it at zico.com.
Poo-Pourri Sprays. Avoid embarrassing (and stinky!) situations with this discreet citrus-lemongrass spritz. Made of all-natural essential oils and decked out in bling, the Poo-Pourri sprays flush bathroom odors. ‘Nuf said! Available also in a Royal Flush manly aroma and a No. 2 floral scent. $10-$25 per bottle. Get it at poopourri.net.
