Through the entire month of June, proceeds from sales of these shoes will go to benefit charity:water.  A little info about the three makeup artists designs:’

Trish McEvoy wanted to bring to her sandal design the feeling of a walk on the beach—her favorite way to relax. “My colors this season brighten your complexion and call to mind the deep blues of the ocean, the pearlescent shades inside a seashell, and the glitter of the sand-taking you on an instant vacation.”

Laura Mercier decided to fill her canvas with kisses showcasing the new lipstick shades in her summer assortment, saying “A comfortable sandal should be as comfortable as wearing the lipstick on your lips.” 

Bobbi Brown created a pair that reflects the spirit of summer- keeping it simple, enjoying every moment, and of course, and always looking fabulous in the process. “The beach is where I go to unwind with my family, so I keep things easy by wearing sunscreen, simple makeup and a fun pair of flip-flops.”

Which ones would you pick?  I have to say the Laura Mercier for me, for sure.  Too dang cute, and a super inexpensive $15 (which, surprisingly is a few bucks less than your regular Havaianas), you should be able to get at least one pair – IF you are on the ball enough to catch them before they sell out!

Resort and Spa, Canyon Ranch, is launching their brand new line of skin care today, at select Saks Fifth Avenue locations (including NYC).  The collection, Canyon Ranch Your Transformation, contains three proprietary blends of ingredients to help transform your skin:

ProNAD™ – Transforming from Inside to Outside

Twenty-five years of research have gone into the development of ProNAD™, a 12-hour continuous-release form of Niacin (Bioactive Vitamin B3) that enables the power of Vitamin B3/Niacin to be delivered deep into the layers of the skin, rebuilding and reconditioning it from the inside out. ProNAD™ works in the following ways:

• Helps stimulate DNA repair by encouraging the skin’s natural repair process
• Stimulates the release of a hormone called Leptin – known to activate the skin’s natural wound-healing response, resulting in a strengthened epidermal skin layer and overall increased integrity of the skin
• Strengthens the skin’s barrier, which over time becomes thinner and weaker, thereby enhancing the skin’s ability to protect itself from environmental assault

Ceraplex™ – Transforming from the Outside to Inside

• A proprietary blend of skin-identical ceramides and potent antioxidants that helps boost the skin’s moisture retention and surface smoothness

Antiox-3™ – Providing Protection Throughout all Layers of the Skin

• Exclusive blend of Goji Berry, Bearberry and Blueberry antioxidants
• Helps protect against collagen destruction while promoting elastin production
• Evens skin tone and helps deter hyperpigmentation
• Effectively reduces free radical damage

The price point of the line ranges from $40-$250, so if luxe skin care is your thing (like it is mine!), don’t miss this one.  You can peruse the whole line of Canyon Ranch skin care and prices after the jump.
