A palm-sized sonic infusion device, the Opal is specially designed to help build skin's resilience over time and prevent future damage around the eyes. By gently tapping the skin around your eye at 125 sonic movements per second, the Opal dispenses our specially formulated Anti-Aging Sea Serum, maximizing absorption in a way that's not possible with your finger alone.

Opal is perfect for the eye area and can also be used on the lip, brow and forehead areas.

Anti-Aging Sea Serum

Dr. Robb Akridge optimized this serum for the dynamics of sonic infusion. Using his immunology expertise to promote skin health, he employed a multi-layered approach using marine extracts and botanicals that hydrate, firm, tighten and protect your skin from future damage. Our serum is gentle enough for daily use and paraben-free.

Sonic Infusion Benefits:

• Immediately hydrates, leaving skin feeling refreshed 
• Noticeably firmer skin after two weeks
• Reduces appearance of puffiness in as little as four weeks
• Gentle for daily use
• Can be layered with your own eye cream
• Improves skin texture

Halloween Treats – Halloween-Themed Jewelry

If you are not sure if you want to dress up in costume this Halloween, but still want to get into the spirit of the day, why not throw on a Halloween-themed shirt and dress it up with some jewelry?

These little spider earrings sport a little bling and have been HOT at i Bar! Both moms and little ones have fallen in love with this 6-legged blinged-out insect.

To add a little more dramatics into your Halloween attire, sparkle up with spider….

…or a snake.

 

Since animal jewelry is still on the fashion radar, you can continue to wear these pieces long after Halloween.

And don’t forget about i Bar’s Glimmer Bar when deciding how to accent your Halloween attire. From traditional Henna designs to modern body art and painting featuring glitter or Swarovski crystals, Glimmer Bar is your one-stop temporary body art location.

Body Art makes a great accent for your Halloween costume. Call us soon to book your body art appointment and our Glimmer Girls will create your favorite Henna design or body art to compliment your next event, function or for a fun night out on the town! 

Glimmer Bar is conveniently located at i Bar Palo Alto and i Bar Walnut Creek during the weekend. Please call to confirm the days and hours that the Glimmer Artists will be available.

Healthy Skin Begins with Clarisonic

Open the pages of any beauty magazine and you are bound to see an advertisement for Clarisonic or read an article about its benefits. Clarisonic has received rave reviews from magazines like Glamour, Vogue Essence, inStyle, Women’s Health, and many more magazines.

It was even one of InStyle Magazine’s 2009 Best Buys.

Why are so many people singing its praises?

Skin cleansing is the essential first step in any skin care ritual, yet it’s often overlooked. Without proper cleansing, pollutants, oil and bacteria accumulate on the skin, clogging pores and causing blackheads, blemishes and dullness. This prevents serums and moisturizers from performing to their fullest potential.

Clarisonic developed the sonic technology proven to gently yet effectively loosen dirt and oil to clear your pores. The Sonic Skin Cleansing System uses a patented sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to clean, soften and smooth your skin. In just 60 seconds a day, the micro-massage action cleans more than twice as effectively as manual cleansing.

By cleansing daily with a Sonic Skin Cleansing System, you’ll remove dirt and oil better than with traditional manual washing. Even makeup is removed six times better than standard cleansing. And skin is left so clean it actually absorbs products like serums and moisturizers better.

 

Just look at the difference….

Here are some of the benefits of using Clarisonic:

· 2X more effective than manual cleansing

· 6X more make-up removal than manual cleansing

· 61% greater absorption of Vitamin C

· Works with all skin types

· Reduces oily areas and blemishes

· Minimizes pores, & fine lines and wrinkles

Clarisonic is available at all i Bar locations.

Want to purchase Clarisonic, but don’t live near an i Bar? Call us at 1-800-908-iBar or email us at sales@ibarthreading.com to order any of the products featured on Beauty Buzz in the City.

 

 

Tame Those Brows - Eyebrow Gel

Just like the head on our hair, eyebrows sometimes have a mind of their own and refuse to be tamed! One little secret not too many people know about is the availability of EYEBROW GEL!

Show those brows who’s boss by brushing on a little bit of eyebrow gel. With its mascara-style brush it is easy to gel the entire brow at one time or use the tip of the brush to focus on smaller areas. Accent your arch by brushing up or lower your arch by brushing the eyebrow hair along your arch down. Want that Grouchy Marx look – brush all your hair up and send us a picture because I would love to see that! =)

If your eyebrows are constantly going in different directions, then use these gels to help create conformity in their eyebrows. This is a clear gel so you don’t have to worry about getting the right color for your gel. For easy removal, use makeup remover.

Eyebrow gel is available at all i Bar locations.
