Engchik Holiday Gift Pick: Travel Savvy and Fresh With Designer Beauty Wipes

Savvy Travelers, a leader in designer beauty wipes, has added two new products to their beauty line.

Most women agree that there are times when freshening up may be necessary. It can be difficult if there’s no water and soap nearby, at least until now. 

Savvy Travelers has changed all that with their line of beauty wipes, making it easy for people to freshen up, eliminate germs, and feel great even when there’s no soap and water nearby. 

Whether taking them along on a date, heading to the airport for business travel, or just keeping them handy in the office, they are helping women across the nation.

“Our product line is comes from our own experience as women and knowing what we want and need,” explains expert traveler Tina Aldatz, chief executive officer of travel wellness company Savvy Travelers. “It’s not always possible to be around soap and water to clean and freshen up, but it is always possible to keep our designer beauty wipes handy.”

Savvy Travelers recently added two new wipes to their product line, including:

• Bottomz Up – Designer wipes that are sensually refreshing. These booty bidet wipes cleanse and freshen up, and are safe for all skin types. They are eco-friendly, cruelty free, and pH balanced for feminine use. Let's face it, we all should have these stashed in our purses!
  
• Lift Offz – No more being stuck with chipped nail polish while on the run. These designer wipes contain nail polish remover to provide an instant removal. One wipe effectively removes the nail polish from all 10 nails. Plus, it contains Vitamin C and mineral oil, which strengthens the nails. The Lift Offz wipes have also been designed to moisturize the cuticles and help grow the nails. They are lint free and will even remove nail polish containing glitter.

These two new designer wipes join their product line, which includes Klean Upz moisturizing hand and body wipes, Klean Offz sanitizing surface wipes, Take Offz facial wipes, No Sweat antiperspirant wipes, In the Klear lens and screen cleaner wipes, and the best-selling Speak Eazy dentist-approved mouth and teeth wipes.

The designer cosmetic wipes make great gifts, including for those seeking unique stocking stuffers, for people who travel, fitness buffs, moms on the go, and teachers. They are each individually wrapped, making it easy to carry them in a purse or bag, and to keep some in a desk drawer, car, or gym and yoga bag. 

Those looking for an ongoing gift may want to consider enrolling their special lady friend into the Savvy Travelers subscription service, called “Wipeaholics.” This will keep a monthly supply of 30 must-have wipes being delivered each month to their mailbox. For only $20 a month, it is the gift that keeps on giving, and will most likely save her when she's in a bind.

“Imagine being able to freshen up anytime, anywhere. That’s what this is all about,” states Margarita Floris, co-founder and president of Savvy Travelers. “Our line of designer wipes has become so popular because it puts the power into your hands to clean up, freshen up, and feel confident anytime. You can’t go wrong whether you are buying for yourself or as a gift for someone else. Women everywhere love them!”

Summer isn’t over, bitches, it’s just heating up! We still have a huge amount of sun-filled happy hours ahead of us!

Here are the 9 essentials you MUST HAVE in your beach (or pool) bag!

A Sassy Water Bottle. with so many cute tumblers and water bottles out there, it’s no excuse not to stay hydrated! One Kings Lane always have great drink holders. My favorite one for this summer came from Target, mint-green chevrons.

Smart Sunblock. All too often, sunscreen on your face clogs your pores, makes you breakout, or is too strong and makes your face all shiny. There has got to be a way to combine skin safety and beauty, right? RIGHT!?  Luckily, there is! 

Brush On Block is SPF 30, and goes over your face- and your makeup- with one easy application, and keeps you protected. I don't want skin problems, and I love the sun, so we are cheering creators Susan Posnick and Andrea Wetsel! Plus, your whole family can use this- it is a mineral powder, but not like your son (or nephew or boyfriend) is going to feel like he is putting on makeup. 

A Mini Bag with Maximum Attitude. This Lilly Pulitzer bag was a gift and it's too cute! Perfect for extra cash, lipgloss and your cell phone, keeping a little pouch around for goodies keeps it safe from sun and sand.

Exfoliating Face Cloths. Keep your face looking fabulously fresh with Ole Henrickson’s the clean truth cleansing cloths. Loaded with Vitamin C and Green tea and more, these skin brightening cloths feel great after a day of playing.

Soft Ellelauri Carly tunic. My good friend and designer Liz Rymar makes Made-in-the-USA clothes as gorgeous as she is! As a beach cover-up or an après-swim drinks outfit, this fun and trendy striped Ellelauri frock will keep you looking sultry. And don’t miss Ellelauri‘s summer sale in Philly and Avalon locations with 30-50% off apparel and accessories!

A Healthy Deodorant. Stay fresh with Crystal Essence mineral deodorant roll-on, sprays, or towelettes.
Portable, environmentally conscious, and keeps you smelling great in scents such as Chamomile & Green Tea, Lavender & White Tea, Pomegranate, and Vanilla Jasmine.
I love everything on offer bc the varieties are so light and fresh, not heavily scented.
Plus, they have the absolute best customer service!!!

Fill up your water bottle and grab a good book ( love my Marian Keyes! Plus, have you read Blake Crouch's Pines!?)

Love your makeup but don’t sleep in it!

A friend of mine uses this magic cloth after wearing tons of studio makeup in her line of work as a top supermodel and actor. She finds that all she needs is water and this cloth. The Makeup Eraser to takes off the thickest TV makeup in less than one minute. Then she washes the cloth with soap and water and air dries, all in less than 2 minutes!

Zyn Beauty - Fast and Fabulous

#500DaysOfBeauty

When I first heard about Zyn Beauty- essentially mobile makeup- I was intrigued. Doesn't it take a long time to get gorgeous? Time most of us don't have; I know I don't.


Zyn Beauty is the brain child of two attorneys- the tagline balance between busy and beautiful- certainly had a niche to fill. Who has hours to stand around and get their makeup done? Most of us have to get up pretty early in the morning to achieve a gorgeous face- and Zyn knows you don't have a lot of time, but want to look your best. And- also, no one wants to pay hundreds for this either.

Enter the brilliance of Zakiya and Nirvana, who often found themselves canceling beauty appointments if they worked late, or not being able to fit an appointment into their busy lives. They decided to create a mobile service that went to the client and worked with their needs- hair, nails, makeup- without the client having to travel to several locations. 

I booked an appointment for mere hours before my 20 years high school reunion and was arriving home from the shore after having Thanksgiving with my fiance's family. As it were, I come home at 3:30. My beauty therapist, Angela Ware, arrived exactly at 4:00, came in, set up, and we were off!

I told Angela the look I was going for: sexy-casual, with full hair and great makeup. Most of my classmates I see on FaceBook, but it's been a while since I've seen many of my classmates in person.

Angela is a true professional- she added product and turned my fine hair into a full head of fun curls with body and sassy bangs. My makeup was a palette of bronzes and golds with dramatic eyes and a first for me- false eyelashes- which once they were on I loved wearing! So bold! 

Working with MAC makeup and a host of other top-of-the line cosmetics, Angela made me look like a well-done version of myself. I wasn't wearing so much I didn't look like me. One of the best things of this experience is that Angela put me right at ease, chatting, and using her great products. All I had to do was sit there and let her work her magic on me.

Add in my favorite ellelauri top, jeans, and boots with fantastic jewelry and I was set! 

All this- Under an hour and half!!! who says beauty needs to take forever!?

And at the reunion- everyone said I looked fabulous, which was very awesome to hear. The confidence that those false eyelashes gave me was great!

The thanks goes to Angela Ware and Zyn Beauty!

Day 32 #500DaysOfBeauty

#500DaysOfBeauty Day 31- Le Rêve Spa

I recently discovered a wee gem set in the heart of Philadelphia, in the Rittenhouse area on 17thstreet. As you know, dear readers, this blog is all things beauty, all products, all pampering. When a friend mentioned this place I wanted to try it out. I love all things that pamper me! Le Rêve Spa has all the typical spa elements, plus a Himalayan salt bed, deluxe décor, and pampering products. Waxing, nails, massage, makeup, Botox (and more), couples relaxation massages, aromatherapy treatments, bridal spa parties, steam showers and so much more. I was booked for a waxing and massage- and that time was too short.   Owner Sophia Brodsky, from the Ukraine and into all things spa, has opened her dream facility and ready to pamper all ye who enter these crystal and wood hallways. First, we began the waxing procedures in the comfy wax room. I was given a choice of soft warm wax with a cloth strip (and pulled) which I what I am used too. Or, I could try the hard wax- a melty wax that quickly hardens and is solid enough to pull and remove the hair. I opted for the hard wax for my bikini area and…my underarms! I am a 14 year veteran of bikini waxes- I will never shave again ever- but I have never waxed my dainty armpits. I don’t have a lot of hair, which can be a problem shaving. There are fine hairs in hard to reach spots and I figured waxing it off would handle it. And I wouldn’t have to worry about shaving for some time! My beauty therapist, Nagi, first did the bikini wax using the hard wax- the usual oh! Moment but def hurt less than traditional soft hot wax & strip. I had to wait a bit (a few minutes) for the wax to harden as opposed to spreading the hot wax then placing the strip and yanking- this process takes longer but doesn’t hurt as much.   Then we moved upwards to my underarms. Nagi said I had cute little underarms and not much hair so it would not take long. I wanted to try this treatment because I seem to miss spots and have to resort to dry-shaving in the mirror.   She spread on the wax, waited, and pulled. It didn’t even hurt! (guess I had numbed them with all my previous dry-shaving lol). I was pretty pleased with the entire process- I won’t be shaving my underarms anymore. Like my bikini line, waxing it is!   After this, Nagi brought me some water and I changed into a soft robe and slippers and was lead into another treatment room. Soft lightening and the scent of lavender filled the air. I got onto the massage table and Nagi began working on my back.   I wish I could tell you how the entire body massage was, but I had drifted off somewhere in the middle. I wasn’t paying much attention, only on how fantastic this massage was. I was so relaxed, so comfortable, that I just zoned out. I would awake every so often, but I would float away again.   When my therapist finished her massage, I was blissed out. All my muscles felt great and I felt like all the knots were worked out. After the massage, I was reminded to drinks lots of water to get the toxins out. She was very professional. I tend to carry a lot of stress in my hands and lower back (sitting and writing all day!), and she worked on those problem areas.   Out the door I went, and I wasn’t even stressed out by traffic on 76. That’s how relaxed I was!   So treat yourself or someone you love to a day at Le Rêve Spa in Rittenhouse. Prices are good, atmosphere is nice, and you’ll feel so much better. It was a nice respite from a crazy week!   Le Rêve Rittenhouse Spa Medical Tower 255 S 17th Street 4th Floor Philadelphia, PA 19103 (215) 563-8888 - Spa (215) 790-4444 - Medical Spa Services
