Sjal is a Swedish noun defined as spirit, mind, heart and soul. According to the press release Sjal is the first brand to combine “energy dynamics, biophysics, biochemistry, natural-electro stimulants, minerals and time-release systems into a single skin care line. The main focus of the product line isn’t simply younger looking or blemish free skin but healthy skin and relief from modern irritants. These irritants include pollution, improper diet and stress.

Many of the products offered provide stress release and energy boosts in addition to its restorative properties. These benefits are due in part to the addition of gems and precious minerals, which have been utilized for centuries. Gems such as Amethyst, which is often used for its sedative and contentment producing properties and minerals such as gold which attract positivity, are featured in most of the cleansers and moisturizers. You may purchase these products in fine department stores like Barney’s or via the web at www.sjal.com

Legendary makeup artist, Pat McGrath, has teamed up with LeSportsac for the second year in a row and this time they’ve collaborated on an eight-piece pro-inspired cosmetic bag collection. A favorite of makeup artists backstage at Fashion Week, COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor was the muse for the collection that will serve the needs of anyone’s inner makeup artist.“Between shows my team does not have a moment to second-guess where they’ve packed even just a single shade of lipstick. For this year’s LeSportsac collection, I incorporated some of the same techniques for product organization that we use backstage,” says Pat McGrath, Global Creative Design Director for COVERGIRL. “For the 2011 collection with LeSportsac, I was inspired by the shade palette and sleek bullet of COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor; it’s one of my backstage essentials.”

Guests enjoyed specialty cocktails, yummy treats and even complimentary make up application by the wonderful folks at Covergirl. Some notables we spotted were, Shenae Grimes, Tika Sumpter, Olivia Munn, Jason Derulo, Lorenzo Martone, DJ Mia Moretti, Fashion Editors, Bloggers, and much more.

I spend hours in front of a screen if its not a computer screen its my smartphone or television. Add to that the fact that I rarely sleep and you have a guaranteed recipe for tired worn out eyes. Over the years I’ve tried a few remedies, mostly found in my kitchen most of which rarely worked.  Luckily all natural brands like Juice Beauty have larger kitchens with scientifically engineered ingredients and the know-how to produce results. I was recently granted the opportunity to try Juice Beauty’s Stem Cellular Repair Eye Treatment.

The treatment is made from a select blend of fruit stem cells and a healthy dose of vitamin C. The combination of antioxidant rich fruit juices and plant oils is geared to hydrate the sensitive skin around the eyes and increase elasticity. The product works on a cellular level to promote new cell growth to eliminate dark  circles and diminish fine lines. I can tell you first hand how refreshed my eyes appeared after just a few applications. Even though my insomnia and constant screen usage hasn’t lessened the damage to my eyes is less visible and my eyes appear more vibrant and awake.

In addition to the eye treatment Juice is home to many products for various ailments and skin needs.  They even have makeup!  Do yourself and your skin a great favor and visit www.juicebeauty.com and peruse their supply of organic beauty products.

Wear all the make up you want, but do so with the understanding that all your blemishes and wrinkles still exist.  Tons of makeup over bad skin is the equivalent of putting a tarp over a crack.  Making a problem less visible does not fix it.  Beauty brand EraClea combines medical research with the science of younger looking skin.  The key according to their extensive research is moisture.  When skin is kept hydrated it maintains a healthier more youthful appearance.   The products by Eraclea rely on a technology referred to as the HylaSponge System.  The system is the result of 50 years of research and is the primary ingredient in all items in the line.  In addition to the HylaSponge, the line is filled with skin healthy vitamins and antioxidants.  Team JSD was invited to try out a few of their products:

EraClea 5 Night Perfecting Peel: This texturizing treatment goes on clear and does not require any “peeling”.  Its purpose is to improve the tone, feel and clarity of the skin. It works well at brightening (not lightening) the skin and leaves it soft by morning.

EraClea Intensive Repair and Protect Serum/Vitamin C: We are all well aware of the importance of vitamin C in maintaining our immune system but studies have shown it has great benefits for the skin as well.  This product works well at treating the signs of aging.

EraClea Pure Hydration Serum/Zinc: This item relies on the anti inflammatory properties of zinc to heal stressed and irritated skin cells.  It also has anti bacterial properties, which makes it ideal t for daily use.

EraClea Eye Surround Cream: If you have tired eyes this ones for you.  The hydrating and firming properties of this product help reduce the signs of aging in the sensitive eye area.
