			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-42034" title="Picture 356" src="http://clutchmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Picture-356.png" alt="" width="174" height="353" />I have another birthday in a few months and I can’t believe the number I am headed towards. I mean I am really thankful I have lived to see my…..3….21st birthday but seeing certain numbers are a little scary. And it doesn’t help that for a long time I felt like I saw a new line or wrinkle or crease every time I looked in the mirror. I just wanted to look as young as I felt or at least as young as I was walking around claiming to be. I felt like I needed a skin miracle.</p>
<p>And then not to long my miracle came in the form of<strong> VICHY Laboratories Aqualia AntiOx Pro-Youth Anti-Oxidant 24Hr Hydrating Fluid</strong> ($32, <a href="http://drugstore.com">drugstore.com</a>, <a href="http://www.vichyusa.com/_us/_en/shop_products/facecare/antiox_spf12.htm?">vichyusa.com</a>). VICHY is the #1 Drugstore Brand in Europe and it just hit the US with its line of skincare products packed with antioxidants. Pro-Youth Anti-Oxidant Fluid works by enhancing the 3 signs of youthful skin: radiance, even skin tone and smooth texture. It&#8217;s formulated with pure citrus polyphenol, pro-regenerative antioxidant that acts as an antioxidant by helping protect and renew surface skin cells for younger looking skin.</p>
<p>The fluid immediately helped to give my skin a healthy glow and even out my skin texture. Within two weeks my skin looked and felt younger and fresher. I may not look like I did at 21 but my skin is certainly more hydrated, even and smoother. Which does make getting closer to a big birthday a little easier.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-41412" title="Vera Wang Princess" src="http://clutchmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Picture-309.png" alt="" width="257" height="267" />Every spring without fail I clean out my closet, get the tires on my car rotated and start wearing a new fragrance. It just seems right to start off a new season with a new fragrance. This year there is no shortage of mesmerizing scents to choose from. I have sniffed and sampled a wide range of fragrances and narrowed them to the cream of the crop. Read on for spring&#8217;s best-smelling olfactory offerings.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P157026" target="_blank">Vera Wang Princess</a></strong> ($45, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P157026" target="_blank">sephora.com</a>) This playful, flirty fragrance is a delight for the senses. It was created for the unpredictable, independent woman who treats every day like an event and adventure.  A magical blend of water lily, lady apple, mandarin meringue, and golden apricot skin are melded with sheer floral notes, accented with dark chocolate, and finished with a pink frosting accord, amber, warm woods, musk, and vanilla. Princess is truly a treat for all who experience it.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.soapandpaperfactory.com/product/127/" target="_blank">Soap &amp; Paper Factory Lavender Solid Perfume</a></strong> ($18, <a href="http://soapandpaperfactory.com" target="_blank">soapandpaperfactory.com</a>) This solid fragrance is convenient and smells amazing. Made with pure jojoba and beeswax it is then blended with a signature lavender fragrance. A perfect way to calm your senses and relax. Comes in a beautiful purse size, travel size, to go, container. A great scent for everyone. Plus it is made without any parabens, phthalates, nor petrochemicals.</p>

<p><strong>Marc Jacobs Pomegranate Splash</strong> ($68, <a href="http://neimanmarcus.com" target="_blank">neimanmarcus.com</a>)  Pomegranate Splash is one of Marc Jacobs three new limited-edition Splash scents. It is a delectable fragrance that will awaken the senses and entice the palate. The completely refreshing and crisp scent is a perfect way to move into the spring and then summer. I like the fact that it isn&#8217;t heavy or overpowering. Its subtle and engaging making it a perfect treat for the spring.</p>
<p><strong>Balenciaga Paris 10, Avenue George V </strong>($95, <a href="http://bergdorfgoodman.com)" target="_blank">bergdorfgoodman.com)</a> A lovely fragrance that dances in a meadow of violets and pepper notes. A fragile mystery that will remind you of the delicate nature of a blooming flower. The pale, amber fragrance is poured into a blown glass and topped with an ivory cap &#8212; a reflection of the Balenciaga style. With notes of violet, dried petals, and pepper this scent is a lovely blend that conjures up images of spring and rebirth. .</p>
<p><strong>Carol&#8217;s Daughter Ocean</strong> ($27, <a href="http://carolsdaughter.com" target="_blank">carolsdaughter.com</a>)  This long lasting fragrance uniquely combines freshness and sensuality. It starts with a medley of wet cucumber, juicy watermelon, followed by a heady floral bouquet that deepens into a foundation of velvety sweet musk. It will conjure up images of a warm spring day near the ocean. Beautiful. Plus it contains no petroleum, paraben or mineral oil.</p>
<p><strong>Chloe Eau de Toilette </strong> ($85, <a href="http://sephora.com" target="_blank">sephora.com</a>) A fresh, smooth floral fragrance that is chic and cool. It is a truly addictive fragrance that manages to be both modern and classic. Top notes of pink peony, freesia, and lychee embody subtle freshness. At the heart, midnotes of magnolia flower, lily of the valley, and rose rise to sublimated femininity. And it has an elegant base of cedarwood, amber, and honey. The bottle it comes in is a work of art and is embossed with the Chloé mark and adorned with a hand-tied ribbon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-large wp-image-40076" title="-6" src="http://clutchmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/6-640x362.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="253" />Nothing is more beautiful then healthy skin. No matter how much foundation, bronzer or blush you buy nothing can replace the effect of healthy hydrated skin. That’s why its no surprise that consumers are willing to shell out top dollar to get the latest and greatest in skincare creams and potions. But in the world of skincare top dollar does not mean top quality.

After applying this cream you are left with nourished and hydrated skin that isn’t sticky or heavy. And because it&#8217;s free of harsh chemicals perfumes and color, its suitable for all skin types.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39768" title="Picture 243" src="http://clutchmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Picture-243.png" alt="" width="321" height="367" />A lot of us have “splurge” items; things that no matter how tight it gets we just have to get. For me its toilet paper, sheets and fragrance. If it’s between these items and my gas bill being late I am going to have to call the gas company. But I know there are some more fiscal responsible beauty junkies out there that insist on getting a good price on everything. So in the spirit of inclusion I have started the Splurge vs. Steal Beauty feature that spotlights an amazing higher end product and an equally amazing lower end version. This week Splurge vs. Steal cast its spotlight on fragrance. The good thing about high-end fragrance is that a spritz at the store is always free. Getting a sample of toilet paper isn’t that easy.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Splurge:</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Balenciaga Eau de Parfum</strong> ($70, <a href="http://balenciaga.com" target="_blank">balenciaga.com</a> or <a href="http://neimanmarcus.com" target="_blank">neimanmarcus.com</a>) This Parfum is all you expect it to be and more. It manages to be both modern and classic. It is a luxurious fragrance that is complex and refined. It delicately  mixes  the green fresh scent of the Chypre Violet into the exciting scent of pure woods. Your left with an intricate fragrance that is sure to entice all who come in contact with it. It comes in an innovative bottle that highlights just how different this fragrance is. <strong>Balenciaga Eau de Parfum </strong>is a fragrance that stands out from everything else out in all the best ways.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39769" title="Picture 244" src="http://clutchmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Picture-244.png" alt="" width="194" height="224" /></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Steal:</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>U by Ungaro Fever for Her </strong>($34, <a href="http://avon.com" target="_blank">avon.com</a>) This beautiful fragrance is a mix of sensuality and sophistication. One scent and you want to know about it.  U  by Ungaro Fever makes a bold, feminine statement that captures the essence of Ungaro fashion and puts it into a bottle. It’s a Chypre Floral fragrance that exudes pure sophistication in a fusion of smoldering woods and feminine florals. The fragrance drapes over like a well made dress  It comes packaged in a feminine silhouette with bold colored etched folds that only help to prove that quality doesn’t have to be expensive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-39428" title="Picture 223" src="http://clutchmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Picture-223.png" alt="" width="273" height="262" />Healthy should be the top priority for your hair no matter what you choose to do with it. Whether your rocking dreads, braids, a flat iron, an afro, a blow dry, a relaxer or anything in between. Whatever style you choose (and that is your choice completely) you want to keep your hair feeling and looking healthy.  Even if you never use straighteners or heat on your hair you still want to deep condition it and keep the scalp hydrated. If you use flat irons, curling irons or blow dryers to style your hair, you should invest in some heat protection products to protect the hair shaft and condition regularly. And if you relax you should find a gentle product that doesn’t use harsh chemicals. And the best product that fits that bill in my opinion is <strong>Phytospecific Phytorelaxer</strong> ($60, <a href="http://sephora.com">sephora.com</a>).</p>
<p>The <strong>Phytospecific Phytorelaxer</strong> is a revolutionary, gentle, hydroxide-free relaxing treatment. The egg- and soy-based formula is odorless and does not contain lye. Many celebrities and those in the know use this product to achieve straight hair that isn’t lifeless. Phytorelaxer is easy to use and provides step by step instructions to apply the product at home. Though it’s a little pricey for those of us who are used to super cheap at home relaxers this product really delivers on its promises. Whether you use Index 1 for Delicate/Thin Hair or Index 2 for Normal, Thick, Coarse Hair, your hair will be left soft and smooth. Phytorelaxer won’t get your hair stick straight instead it gets it straight but leaves the volume, body and life that healthy hair needs. It only takes one treatment to notice why this is one of the most popular products out now.</p>
<p>Phytorelaxer is a straitening treatment and even though it doesn’t contain lye, hydroxide, parabens or phthalates, it is a process and you should follow the directions and condition your hair regularly. Relaxing your hair can be incredibly drying, but Phtyorelaxer makes sure that your hair stays conditioned through the process. So if you relax your hair or are thinking about doing it in the future, this is a must-try product. If you don’t believe read all the reviews for it and ask your stylist about it. And remember no matter what you decide to do with your hair, beautiful hair is healthy hair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-38819" title="Picture 140" src="http://clutchmagonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Picture-140.png" alt="" width="214" height="256" />I&#8217;m a sucker for any product that marries my love of beauty with my love for technology. I love any beauty product that uses cutting edge techniques, high tech concepts or existing technology in new ways, and I always feel so Judy Jetson when I discover a new high tech beauty product. And Judy Jetson is fly.</p>
<p>I felt pretty fly myself when I discovered<strong> LASHLIGHT by Too Faced</strong> ($25, <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P249104&amp;searchString=%20LASHLIGHT">sephora.com</a>). This high tech mascara has an innovative formula that contains millions of microscopic mirrors that bounce light off lashes for a super-glossy, jet-black finish. Lashes will be longer and thicker all day. The jet-black finish will make eyes look brighter, whiter, and more beautiful; camera ready. And the cutting edge formula has a combination of panthenol, and Vitamins C and E keep lashes healthy and red algae that increases Keratin resistance for maximum lash flexibility.</p>
<p>LASHLIGHTS formula is amazing but what really got me was the wand. Not only does the wand have a slightly tapered brush-tip to get the tiniest lashes but the wand has a light to spotlight each lash for precise application. The exclusive light-up LED wand spotlights every lash for the perfect mascara application every time and the close-up mirror on the side of the component is perfect for on-the-go application.</p>
<p>The perfect mascara for everyone even if you aren’t a beauty tech geek like me.</p>
