Although I'm not in love with the city of Vienna, I did fall in love....

While in Austria, I wore Dr. Kitzinger's skincare line, a Vienna based surgeon and specialist in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Kitzinger has studied skin cells from burns, artificial skin cell cultivation, and the parallels of the biological process of aging, so you can trust that his products are amazing for all types of skin and delivers results.

Two of my favorite products are:

Serum and Fruits & C.

 Serum is the first step. You apply this all over your face, and let it absorb for 5 minutes or so. This product helps produce collagen, meaning it plumps the skin. 

 Each morning I've awaken to smoother and softer skin. I'll continue to use Dr. Kitzingers products to see what other results they produce over the next month.

This morning I grabbed my favorite blueberry anti-oxidant juice and walked down to Wenceslas Square for my meeting with Erika Komarova, head of Dermacol /Filmstudio Barrandov Cosmetics, one of the biggest makeup lines in Prague. Erika introduced each product to me from this reputable 40 year old Czech line, as well as packed a bag full of products for me.  So straight away, well, after I stopped in Promod for the 3^rd time this week (hey, can’t resist the fashion), I returned to my hotel to play before heading to my shoot.

Here are a few products that stand out in Dermacol/ FilmStudio Barrandov Makeup Line ....................

 Lip Up is a sweet lip plumper from the FilmStudio Barrandov Prague Line. It has tiny crystals inside that feel like it exfoliates your lips when rubbing them together, but remaining smooth and glossy at the same time.  While smelling like watermelon, I did see some plumping action  going on.

A very smart product called  AcneCover is a matte foundation containing tea-tree oil, which is a natural antiseptic from Australia for those of you unfamiliar with this essential oil. Tea tree kills bacteria, is great for problematic skin and dries blemishes out quick.  So, you’re getting a two in one deal.. natural coverage while it’s drying out the yuckies. I’ve never seen a foundation containing tea trea before, so I loved this discovery for my younger blemish prone clients.

Satin Make-Up Base is a silicone gel primer, and oooooh … I love this product. It smells good, really does feel like satin gliding across your skin, and is comparable to my favorite primer out there, Makeup Forever’s All Mat.  Silicone is a filler, so it not only helps give makeup staying power, but it plumps up fine lines, fills in pores, and helps makeup apply smoother.

But what Dermacol/FilmStudio Barrandov is best known for is their Make-Up Cover. If you’ve used Dermablend before, than you have an idea of the consistency of this product. It’s VERY thick and all you need is a small dot/dollop (depending on size of tattoo, discoloration, blemish) but it’s a phenomenal cover for anything on the skin you’d like to conceal. It won’t move under water and won’t sweat off. 

Ciao Babies!

This wonderful makeup company has been super popular in Europe, UK, and Australia for some time, and just very recently opened a store in the states in NYC's Times Square. Hopefully LA will be next!

Inglot has the silkiest eyeshadows I've ever felt... like satin, and in every color imaginable.  I bought a pure pigment eyeshadow called "Cien Do Powiek".  It seriously makes your lids look like natural wet bronze, and in the sun....  GORGEOUS.

The lip paints come in tiny pots  and glide on your lips like honey (without the sticky part). The one I bought is called "Pomadka do Ust" and smells like caramel strawberries... de-lish! What makes this unique is it looks moist but not glossy, which is so pretty and fresh.

And my fave is the "Face Blush". This stuff is fabulous and will last me a long time b/c you only need apply a  1/2 pump, and smooth it across your apples, and it looks like your flushing from within. So natural. It's a cream and liquid combined. I bought the color "Roz Do Policzkow". 

I also tried the concealer which are fantastic and stayed all day without creasing or looking dried or cakey. The one thing I noticed that all these products have in common is moisture. Every one of the products I tried went on beautifully, felt smooth, and looked amazing.  

 I'll be sure to use my new discoveries on my upcoming shoots abroad...... and when I return to Los Angeles on all my clients awaiting!!

Stay tuned for more from Europe ... Prague next!

Almost forgot....... INGLOT gives pro discounts for us artists.  We love that!
