Now that you have seen the Oscars, we’re sure you’re itching for a glam night of your own. As is the case every year, the Oscars were buzzing with beauty and fashion. Here are a few of our favorite looks from Hollywood’s biggest night, and some tips on being the most glam version of you possible!
Combine unlikely hues for your makeup and couture. (Take Emma Stone as an example, with her fiery red hair and soft pink eyes and lips.) It turns out white isn’t just for brides, (thank you Gwenyth!) Dark eyes and neutral lips is always a classic look for a glamorous occasion. And of course, it’s the Oscars so sparkle it up!! (Octavia Spencer, great job.) We know you’ve always like your buns tight, but this year big buns up top were a huge hit, (Jennifer Lopez mastered this.)
But don’t wait until the last minute. Start prepping days before the event. Follow the below timeline and you are guaranteed to be fully glammed for your big night.
- Vitamin C facial (book now on our website!) a few days before your event to ensure you will be nice and glowy. - Start drinking extra water, and water based foods (such as veggies) to your diet the week of. This will help in maintaining hydrated skin for the perfect makeup application. - Exfoliate your entire body (we suggest using the Clarisonic Mia, currently stocked in the shop!) Follow that up with a spray tan the day before. - Leave yourself plenty of time in the morning so you don’t feel rushed, and if time isn’t on your side? Don’t stress, stay calm and you’ll get there soon enough.
We hope that Tre Balm is your favorite destination for facials, products and skin care advice. Butdon't let our accessories soon be forgotten!

A recipe for a lovely Valentine's Day, from your friends at Tre Balm: Start your morning with a hydrating facial at Tre Balm and end up with "that GLOW". (This is where you show love to yourself.)
Then move onto a fancy little lunch with all your best Valentine's, (the girlfriends!) Shower each other with fun little presents you picked up this morning at Tre Balm. We're thinking: A light orange ("Zest")Cosabella bralette for Annie
and a light turquoise ("Barbbados") pair of panties for Samantha.
***(We also carry these in sets, including colors JADE, LIPSTICK, BLUSH, BLACK, & COBALT)
Nancy loves her lotion, and nothing is quite as wonderful as Mor Hand & Body Lotion, wihich we carry in lovely scents such as Sugar Rose/Tiger Lily, Honey Nectar and Basil Grape.
(This is the love for your friends.)
... and then its time for love, for your love. What could make for a better Valentine’s evening then bath time? Simpatico candles and bubble bath are ideal for a romantic bubble session with your significant other.
All these things plus much, much more are available for your day of love at Tre Balm. HAPPY LOVING!
We posted on November 21st about the importance of hydrating your skin, but never would have imagined that come the second week of January, our skies would still be... dry. And if you are experiencing anything like we are, our skin is a bit on the less-than-ideal side of things when it comes to its moisture. One of the absolute best things you can do for your skin is to receive regular facials. With countless options available in regards to facials, and with a dedication to your skin care at home and in between facials, we have no doubt you can uncover your glowing, most radiant skin yet! We thought it would be fun to bring you some fun facts and tid-bits about facials, but first, here are two products we know you will LOVE for fighting off this dry, dry air.
****Phytomer Hydra-Nourishing Serum Lotion: Available in the shop now!
This non-oily facial moisturizer will provide your skin with the hydration that it is craving right now. Moisture will be locked in, preventing the return of dry skin, and leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth and velvety. - expect instant softness - moisture to every layer of your skin - For normal to very dry and/or dehydrated skin type
****Phytomer Souffle Marin Energizing Oxygenating Serum: Available in the shop now!
Another one of our favorite products, this is especially great for people that have been traveling during the holidays, exposing their skin to various climates. This serum will help restore your skin back to balance, and fight off those free radicals. - marine based ingredients will lead to a fresher complexion with a more even skin tone. - will leave your skin feeling especially silky - great for all skin types!
FACIALS * FACIALS * FACIALS
We are proud of the extra care, and individual attention we offer for all of our clients on their facials. This month’s 2-FOR-1 special is the perfect opportunity to share this experience with another! After a one-on-one consultation, you can expect a customized pampering facial to address your needs, ranging from fine lines to acne-prone skin. Ideal for both men and women, you can prepare yourself for a thorough cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, face massage, mask, moisturizing and UV protection. (And you’ll be hanging out with us of course.) :-)
And while we LOVE our facials, and think they are the very BEST around, (!!!) we thought it might be fun to bring you some info on a few trendy, (and a few whacky) facials out there.
Banana Foster Facial- at Dorit Baxter, NYC. (We imagine you would leave your facial hungrier then anything!) This skin-brightening treatment was inspired by owner Dorit Baxter's favorite desert! Start with a brown sugar-and-dark rum concoction, (for freshening the skin,) add an elasticizing whipped cream, follow with a cinnamon and water toner, (to act as an astringent and antiseptic,) and finish things up with a mask comprised of vanilla ice cream and bananas!!! (Meant for nourishing your skin with milk and vitamins such as potassium, B6 and C.)
The Geisha Facial- at Shizuka, NYC. (ummm...Bird poop!!!!!) "Uguisu" (powdered bird droppings,) is known to be one of the geisha’s best kept secrets, and a tradition of ancient Japan. This powder has been discovered to break down dead skin cells and leave your face with a vibrant glow. Your service would include the use of natural products, green tea, collagen and a fiber mask. And if the powder wasn’t enough? Try not to gag when a second mask, which contains rice bran and UV-sterilized bird feces, is applied so that you can receive the full exfoliating properties. Then it's back to normalcy with a Camilla flower oil massage to boost circulation. Walk away with a porcelain, doll-like mug... (if you can hack it!)
...And now back to the more mainstream stuff... a few things to keep on your radar: - Kate Sommerville facials are hot in Hollywood right now - The DNA facial at the Four Seasons in Westlake Village,CA (this treatment is exclusive to the Westlake spa, AND it is the largest of all Four Seasons Spas...) is a favorite of Cindy Crawford, J.Lo and Ali Landry. WHO DOESN'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE CINDY??!! - Spas giving back! Look for an increase in spas donating to special causes, and offering special treatments like a “Pretty in Pink” massage in October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
That’s it for now readers. Leave us a note... and as an incentive, the first 5 of you to do so can receive a special little gift from the shop. :-)
