It seemed only fitting to
do a post on a brand that is dominating my makeup drawer as of late & just
happens to be a local gem brought to life by the owner of Private Edition and
Cosmetic Market, Linda Roberts. The
brand, Therapy Systems is sold at
both of her cult classic boutiques (the staff at Private Edition know me by
name) and apparently is sold in boutiques stretching as far as Hong Kong. I think Linda and I probably have many
similarities… it appears our favorite store is also the same – H. Audrey –
deserves a post of its own!
My love of Therapy
Systems started with a single “Smoky Taupe” shadow, I got near daily
compliments on it & suddenly I’d scooped up three more shades. My new fav is “Broadway” – a perfect lightest
of light brown with just a hint of violet & shimmer. I passed these shadows in Linda’s boutiques for
years and never tried one – true they’re so much more gorgeous on than in their
pretty mirrored packaging.
As a major lip balm
addict I’m surprised I’m just now trying Therapy Systems’ Rx for Lips.
I bought it Sunday while fretting over an Omorvicza balm that seems
to have disappeared in my own home. I
didn’t want to shell out $50 for a new one knowing the lost one would surely
surface soon… no doubt hidden in a Manolo somewhere by my toddler. I also knew I needed something more powerful
than Smith’s Salve (no disrespect to that brand, which I adore)… Enter the $32 RX
for Lips which contains just a touch of retinol to plump your pout and swiftly
rid it of any dry/dead skin. Ideal for
under your lipstick or worn alone to constantly kiss your child without leaving
any colored residue.
I read an article dated
back to 2005 that said Linda planned to be the next Estee Lauder. To that I’d have to say, Get it, Girl!
