The poolside cabanas

Last night I popped over to the Regent Beverly Wilshire (of Pretty Woman fame) for an evening of beauty, pre-Oscar pampering and champagne, natch. I headed out to the pool cabanas, Moet in hand, to learn about the brands that are available at the hotel spa and salon. First I met with Lea Journo, the famed celebrity hairstylist, to check out her product line. (Actress Anna Kendrick was also there scoping the fabulous products. The hair mask is to die for!) Then it was on to meet makeup artist Christopher Drummond, who has a line of mineral makeup products (they are titanium dioxide and zinc free) and 100% synthetic brushes. (He found out that he was allergic to animal hair brushes, so made ones that don’t aggravate the skin.)  Then I popped next door to the Kate Somerville cabana to learn about her new book – she’s a celebrity skincare guru, so I’m excited to check it out. Next was DayNa Decker fragrance. Yum Yum and Yum. The candles have wooden wicks, which I love because they crackle like a fireplace and I like the wide flame they create. Last but not last was a whirl with NuFace – this is a device that you smooth over your face; it sends positive and negative charges to the muscle, which keeps it active and gives the appearance of a lift. I don’t think I need to splurge on the device (yet), but I did notice a bit of lift around my eyebrows. Finally, I indulged in a chair massage—so glorious. Then I met a lovely friend at The Blvd for a glass of wine and to soak up the buzz that’s filling the town in anticipation of the Oscars.
