Mimi's Little Black Book | Best Places to Primp

When it comes to looking and feeling fabulous maintenance is a must. Here are my favorite spots to primp and pamper yourself.

Best Nail Salon Dashing Diva
Dashing Diva is probably the hottest nail spa in NY. I highly recommend them for the perfect detail oriented mani and pedi. The glamourous pink interiors also add a touch of glamour to the whole experience. Try their UV Gel setting which makes nails look super glossy and perfect.

Best Hair Color & Cut Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa
I am obsessed with dying my hair and believe me I've been up and down fifth avenue trying to find the best colorist and I have finally found him. Greg at Red Door Spa is the most talented colorist in the world. He gave me the best chestnut brown with golden highlights color that I am raving over. The service at Red Door is unsurpassed.

Best Wax Shobha NYC
I usually go to Shobha for all my waxing needs. They are very good at what they do and I have always been happy with my results and the exotic ambiance is always a plus. Shobha was voted as New York's best Brazilian was. Ask for Miranda.

Beauty Buzz | Silk'n SensEpil At Home Innovative Light-based Device For Hair Removal

I always dread facing hair removal - there's hardly ever anything glamorous about it, even in the most luxurious spa. IPL (Intense Pulse Light) has been the latest and most effective technology for hair growth reduction for the past few years. Silk’n recently released the SensEpil system, the newest innovation in the IPL. This was completely painless it comes in a cute, compact package.
The cost for this system is small portion of what you would pay for full treatment at a spa, and the only replacement piece is a bulb that lasts 750 flashes. Like IPL at a spa, you should be gentle with your skin afterwards and wear a nice SPF if the skin is exposed to the skin, but unlike post-IPL at a spa any effect to the skin itself is barely noticeable. This treatment is most effective with light olive to fair skin, with dark hair and intended for body hair.

After using it for only 4 sessions on one area (about 10 flashes per session), over the course of 2 months,I have noticed a visible difference in the regrowth - it is silkier and finer. I have added this to my bi-weekly Sunday night beauty treatment in which you can go begin and complete session of treatment on a selected area in the length of a song or two on your play list. After using this product, I really can’t imagine going back to scheduling and accommodating time for appointments at a medical facility! The ultimate luxury of IPL - having it at home. Get yours here. -Virginia Wong, HM Beauty Editor

Beauty Buzz | Mimi's Top Picks

I adore Sephora. I've spent a small fortune on makeup at the beauty megastore and I have no regrets. I recently went on a spree and picked up a few goodies that I just had to write about because I was seriously impressed.

Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor

Truly lush. I'm surprised that many women choose not to wear lipstick. In my opinon nothing can elevate your look more than a sexy pink pout. This particular lipstick is one of my few favorites because of it's airy texture that delivers an impressive amount of pigment. My favorite is shade is "Pink Preview" #475 an octane pink that will get you noticed, for all the right reasons of course.
Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

The best foundation I have ever tired in my life. I cannot express my gratitude for this product enough, not only does it leave my skin flawless and glowing it also lasts. The creamy texture glides onto your face evenly and magically veils your face with a opalescent glow. Perfect skin is the basis of true beauty, but you can always fake it.



Miss Dior Chérie L'eau

Miss Dior Cherie is my signature fragrance and now since it's almost summer I thought I'd switch it up and try it's sister scent, Miss Dior Cherie L'eau. It's fresh, girly and most of all glamorous. I receive at least one compliment a day on my scent. One splash and I'm transported to Spring time in Paris.
