Before I jetted off to Miami, I had the opportunity to go to the Mario Badescu salon here in Manhattan for what I believe to have been the best facial I’ve ever received. Big claims, I know!  You’ve heard me rave about Mario Badescu’s products in the past (here and here) but I so enjoyed experiencing the facial because they are extremely clinical in their approach to their facials. Not to mention their European facial is priced at $65 (!). The extractions were performed so well and my skin was left feeling unbelievably clean and refreshed.

On a Sunday afternoon the place was packed with women getting facials and ordering product – you know they are doing something right. During my treatment, I experienced a new facial add-on known as The Gold Mask. It was heavenly. It’s infused with natural gold and pearl powder and works to tighten, tone, renew and illuminate your skin and it did just that. Unlike other facials where you leave sometimes feeling overly shiny or overly dry, my skin was rejuvenated and felt healthier than ever. A big thank you to Nicole at Mario Badescu for allowing me to experience what I had heard so much raving about.
