CC Loves...

Darlings, happy Halloween! CC's selections here are so chic, it's spooky!

EP Jewels Iced Jumbo Letter Necklace in CZ and 14k gold plated sterling silver.
Fantastic founder story: Evangelina Petrakis launched her label in 2021 at just 17 years old, one month before she graduated high school! Like many students during the pandemic, Evangelina turned to social media as a creative outlet and quickly gained popularity with her fashion-focused style haul videos. She noticed her audience specifically taking an interest in her jewelry so she decided to parlay her childhood love of jewelry into her own brand, creating and marketing her own pieces under the name EP Jewels. Bravo!

CC Loves... Dr. Brandt Skincare!

Darlings, happy Friday! Nourish yourself this weekend and beyond with CC's skincare secret: Dr. Brandt Integrative Dermatology, founded in 1995 by Dr. Fredric Brandt. Dr. Brandt's love of skincare started at Sloan-Kettering, where he specialized in the research and treatment of leukemia, using natural elements to fight against the growth of cancer. Green tea, vitamin A and vitamin C, effectively utilized in patient care under Dr. Brandt’s expert eye, became the basis of his future skincare line.

Here a few of CC's preferred products from the range:

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Luminizer Primer, a lightweight silky cream that creates a glowing, flawless complexion, blurs the look of pores and imperfections, and provides a smooth canvas for foundation and makeup application. Ideal for clients (like CC!) concerned with enlarged pores, lack of radiance, and texture imperfections.  

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Texture Perfecting Kit (now 30% off!) 
Polish like a pro with these anti-aging exfoliators for the face, body -- inspired by in-office microdermabrasion procedures thanks to double exfoliation!
Contains:
1. RENEWING AGE-DEFYING FACE EXFOLIATOR: a lightweight cream that buffs away dead skin cells, softens texture, nourishes, soothes skin and protects from free radicals
2. BODY POLISHING EXFOLIATOR: removes dead surface skin cells, improves the look of bumps and rough patches, polishes, smooths and moisturizes for baby soft skin
3. SMOOTHING LIP SCRUB: polishes and conditions dry, flaky lips to enhance their appearance, preparing them for color application

Dr. Brandt Hydro Biotic overnight hydrating face mask, a light gel cream that hydrates deeply, locks in moisture for up to 72 hours, helps strengthen skin's barrier, and reduces redness and signs of irritation

Dr. Brandt Dare to Age Firming Day Cream: powered by Dr. B’s proprietary VITACELLREGEN Complex™, this moisturizing cream acts as a collagen booster, using plant-derived stem cells and tripeptides to activate skin's anti-aging signals and boost collagen production. 

Dr. Brandt Bright This Way 24/7 Retinol Eye Cream, from the NEW collection! This lightweight cream brightens eye contour, smooths the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and moisturizes the eye area. CC's new daily go-to!
