Caudalie arrives chez nous!

Caudalie arrives at Thompson-

Well, I haven’t been to France in quite some time, or a vineyard for that matter!!!! So, let the vineyard and France come to me. Yes, Caudalie has arrived at Thompson Chemists and Thompson Alchemists and we are all excited opening the boxes!

What does Caudalie mean? A unit of measurement of quality that quantifies the duration of a wine’s flavor on the palate. For each second that the flavor remains this is one Caudalie. To me “Caudalie” means quality. It means skincare that is derived from grapes! Grape seeds! Resveratrol! Grapevine sap! Organic grape water! Grape seed oil and vinolevure! Who wouldn’t want to give it a try!

I decided that my first product to try would be: The Beauty Elixer- Wow! What a feeling. It has that “ je ne sais quoi!” It is made of grape extract, rosemary, melissa, and mint essential oils and plants. I sprayed on my face before doing my make-up, it tightens the pores and smoothes the skin. My skin felt wide awake, better than a cup of expresso! I need to take a trip to Bordeaux and enjoy a wonderful glass of wine along with my new love for Caudalie.

They say wine gets better with age, and according to Caudalie, aging gets better with the wine! À votre santé. This means cheers in french.

Sama Perfumes Providing “Good Vibrations” at Thompson Alchemists

Reblogged from Thompson Alchemists Blog:

When a fragrance molecule enters our nose it is met by millions of smell-sensing receptor cells. Each of us have our own distinct molecular makeup and within each molecule lies infinite particles or waves (or strings) working together like an orchestra. In the same way that each element of an orchestra affects the sound we hear, the way our molecules interact with the molecules of the fragrance is wholly unique; and like a concert our scent is exclusive to a moment in time. The essence of aromatherapy, at …

All I need is Nuxe and a little imagination …

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Betty | Leave a comment

So it’s 20°F in New York City, but if you ask me, it’s feeling more like -5°F! All I can think about is being somewhere sunny…

But instead I’m stuck with extra layering, a stuffy nose, and not to mention, dry skin… So in efforts to calm my winter blues I picked up the Nuxe: Creme Fraiche Moisturizing Energizing Emulsion (Dry) tester and viola *does a French accent* a moisturizer that does the job ALL day! It goes on light and has a fresh and clean smell that wont irritate the skin. We’re talking 24hr moisture that won’t leave that 3 sweater layering feeling on your face. Eight Plant Milks and four balancing Essential Oils that leave my skin oh so refreshed and hydrated in the cold winter wind. This 2.1 fl oz jar of goodness helps trap water deep within the skin to replenish the skin with ongoing moisture.

So maybe I can’t turn snow to sand and I won’t be able to go tanning anytime soon but with a little help from our friends at NUXE Paris and my Mac, I can always be at the beach when the sun is about to set.

My Wish-list: A few Suggestions for You Holiday Shoppers

Posted on December 17, 2011 by Betty | Leave a comment

Holidays are near, and were all running around looking for that perfect gift for those lucky few. So we, here at Thompson Alchemists, are posting our own holiday wish list to give you a few gift suggestions. Heres a few things of what I would like under my tree…

The first item on my wish list is a NEW Astara product, the Astara AHA Nutrient Toning Essence which doubles as a quick cleanser, perfect for those on the go! The grapefruit essence will not only hydrate the skin, locking in the moisturizer, but also minimize your pores. Astara is my favorite skincare line because its good for all ages, so listen up last minute shoppers, you can get this for the whole family!

Next on my wish list are the very prettily packaged SedaFrace candles and soaps so pretty you can forget about the extra gift wrapping… but for those of you that like the gift wrapping, stop by Alchemists or Chemists and we’ll provide FREE gift wrapping with any purchase all through the holidays! My favorite happens to be The Asian Pear Three-Wick Candle Tin, but I guarantee that all of their fragrances will make for a great smelling gift.

Now for the Stocking Stuffers ! What I hope to find in my stocking is Essie Good to Go Top Coat; now this will be a life saver because I always seem to convince myself that 2 minutes is enough drying time ( lies… ) and have to reapply my nail polish millions of times after messing up my nails. So if you know someone abusing nail polish coats get them this top coat that will dry their nails in seconds. Another great stocking stuffer is the Lioele Eyeshadow Stick.These eyeshadow sticks are great for new makeup users. The fun, fresh, vibrant colors, my favorite the Light Pink , really pop, K POP
