Chi City Closet: Chanel Tattoos & Ambush POW Ring

While wandering around Bucktown this weekend at Refinery29’s brunch crawl, I decided to make a few pitstops. One of these pitstops was at RSVP Gallery. If you haven’t been I suggest you go because there is no other store in Chicago like it. Carrying things I’ve never seen anywhere else like Linda Farrow x Jeremy Scott Caesar Gold Leaves Sunglasses and Takashi Murakami prints to name a few, this is a truly unique place.

With that said, I decided to pick myself up a few sweet items from RSVP and I’m so obsessed, I just had to share.

Chanel tattoos that I’ve had my eye on for over a year now…check! Ambush POW neon orange ring…check!

The tattoos match by vintage Chanel eagle necklace from Sofia Vintage…sweet!

Product Review: Omorovicza Skincare

I’m always on the lookout for new skincare products. When I try one I love, I just have to share. I recently discovered luxury skincare line, Omorovicza, whose all natural products are made with Hungarian thermal waters. This is something I have never heard of when it comes to skincare so I thought I’d do my research.

Omorovicza uses Mineral Cosmetology where minerals from Hungarian thermal waters are transformed into compounds for optimal absorption by the skin. The key benefits of this include: increased collagen production, tighter lipid matrix to lock hydration, protection from sun damage, and improved antioxidant defense against free-radicals.

Although I wanted to try everything from this innovative skincare line, I chose 3 to start.

Gold Shimmer Oil

The Gold Shimmer Oil not only gives your skin a glamorous glow but it also improves elasticity and leaves skin extremely soft. I love how it made my skin feel, however I would only use it for special occasions because of the shimmer. Any other day I’d probably use the Firming Body Oil.

Thermal Cleansing Balm

I’ve been using the Thermal Cleansing Balm day and night for about 2 weeks now and my skin has never been more clear. I noticed just after the first use my pores were completely clear. This cleanser really does it’s job but also detoxifies and nourishes skin at the same time. I’ve never used a mud-based cleanser before and this one by Omorovicza has definitely made me pro-mud 🙂

Complexion Enhancer

The Complexion Enhancer is by far the best tinted moisturizer I’ve ever used. It’s like a foundation, concealer, moisturizer, and firming cream all in one…and with SPF 15! This can be used with or without a moisturizer but I’ve been using this everyday after the Thermal Cleansing Balm and I have been more than satisfied with the results.

So be sure to visit www.omorovicza.com for more information. Let me know if you decide to try anything for yourself…I’d love to hear from you!
