    Beauty & the Beat

    Skin care alert: My Hungarian love affair with Omorovizca continues

    Kendall Knaus
    Sep 7, 2011 | 9:32 pm
    • Gold Flash Firming Serum in Shadow
    • Cleansing Foam by Omorovicza
    • Omorovicza's Essential Travel Kit
    • Omorovicza introduces Gold Eye Lift.

    For a few years now, Omorovizca, the Budapest-based luxury skincare line, has been my go-to brand for gorgeous, radiant skin. I'm a devotée to my beloved Budapest brand's daily regimen. Well, dear CultureMap readers, my Hungarian love affair continues, as over the summer, I had the opportunity to try a few of Omorovizca's newest products that truly deliver and work well with Houston's climate.

    Take note, Omorovizca is renown for natural, anti-aging products that utilize the ancient health and beauty phenomenon of Hungary's mineral-rich thermal waters. According to the company bio, this innovative skincare line developed a unique patented delivery system, Mineral Cosmetology, ensuring the skin's absorption of the mineral rich Hungarian water in unprecedented levels.

    Results? How about a firmer, supple and youthful complexion? Bonus: All Omorovizca products are free of scary faux ingredients such as petrochemicals, sulfate detergents or artificial anything.

    New beauty obsessions

    Omorovizca's new Cleansing Foam purifies, yet refreshes and revitalizes the skin, thanks to such ingredients as lupine, apple pectin and copper complex. It is pricey, so I frugally placed a pea-size amount of my coveted deluxe sample upon my trusty Clarisonic complexion brush, and voilà! A Houston summer day's worth of inferno-like humidity, grime, sunscreen, and water-proof mascara vanished in a flash.

    Plus, this aqua-colored foam left my complexion glowing. Warning: this Cleansing Foam's fresh scent and mini-facial like results are elegantly addicting.

    My next Hungarian beauty obsession is Omorovizca's recently launched Gold Flash Firming Serum; a multi-tasking powerhouse. Omorovicza's website claims that this new anti-aging serum "relies on the anti-inflammatory properties of gold, as well as other innovative active ingredients, to help re-texturize and repair the skin."

    It's a simple way to jumpstart a healthy radiant complexion. This golden elixir prevents and gently corrects hyper pigmentation, encourages the skin's production of collagen and elastin, and hydrates without stickiness, all with only a mere revitalizing pump or two of product — genius!

    Should you decide to try these two products, Omorovizca recommends using the Cleansing Foam first, followed by the Gold Flash Serum, and finishing with your favorite Omorovizca moisturizer.

    What to do if you're ready to commit

    Interested in trying this Budapest beauty secret, yet not quite ready to commit to the full-size regimen?

    Take a closer look at Omorovizca's Essentials Kit.This chic blue patent leather double zipper kit includes travel (yes, TSA approved) sizes of Omorovizca's cult favorites including the signature Queen of Hungary Mist, Illuminating Moisturizer (my warm weather fave), Rejuvenating Night Cream, two deluxe samples of Thermal Cleansing Balm (which has won mah-jor acclaim from beauty editors world wide.) Also, you'll find one super-soft terry cleansing mitt.

    Finally, here's the scoop on Omorovizca's latest product set to launch next month. It's Gold Eye Lift, a beyond-rich eye cream that Omorovizca states is infused with "cutting-edge lifting and firming 3-D technology that packs both immediate and long-lasting effects." Check Omorovizca.com in October for availability.

    Co-founder Margaret de Heinrich de Omorovizca will make a personal appearance Friday at the Neiman Marcus Galleria store. Purchase any two Omorovizca products and receive a personalized 30-minute consultation with de Omorovizca and a 60-minute signature complimentary facial performed by Omorovizca's resident therapist. Purchase $300 of Omorovizca products and receive a full-size Radiance Renewal Serum (a $150 value).

    Appointments are required. Call the Omorovizca counter at Neiman Marcus (713-621-7100) to schedule a consultation.

    Omorovizca products are available at select Neiman Marcus, Rosewood and St. Regis properties, Bergdorf Goodman and at Omorovizca.com. Cleansing Foam, 5 fl. oz., $70; Gold Flash Firming Serum, 1 fl. oz.; $215, Omorovizca Essentials travel kit, $150; Gold Eye Lift, $175

    UNIFORM UTOPIA

    Luxury scrubs brand FIGS opens first Texas location in Rice Village

    FIGS will open its new Rice Village Community Hub on December 6.

    Healthcare apparel company FIGS is opening its first brick-and-mortar store in Texas with a new Community Hub in Rice Village. The retail space is designed to serve both as a store and a gathering spot for the city's healthcare community.

    The Rice Village location opens this Saturday, December 6, with a public grand opening event on December 13 from 6 to 8 pm featuring giveaways, music, food, and drinks from local vendors. Joining outposts in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York City, the Houston location is the fourth Community Hub for the company and the only location in the South.

    The store will carry the full range of FIGS products, including scrubwear, loungewear, and accessories. It will also host events and programming focused on healthcare topics, offering visitors opportunities to meet and share experiences.

    At the new FIGS boutique, shoppers will find the Color Clinic, offering scrubwear in core colors with rotating seasonal options. The store also has a Customization Station, which provides embroidery for names, titles, practice or hospital logos, and local icon options available only at Community Hubs. Personalization is also available for scrub caps, outerwear, and accessories.

    The brand, founded in 2013 by Heather Hasson and Trina Spear, is known for fashion-forward medical uniforms made from a proprietary fabric with four-way stretch, antimicrobial technology, moisture-wicking, and wrinkle resistance. Hasson and Spear began selling directly to healthcare workers in Los Angeles-area hospital parking lots before growing their presence as an online retailer.

    CEO and co-founder Trina Spear believes Rice Village was the perfect choice due to its proximity to the Texas Medical Center. She said the company wanted a space that supports Houston healthcare professionals and gives them a place to shop and connect.

    "Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, and we are honored to bring a FIGS Community Hub to this city. This space is designed to serve and celebrate Houston healthcare professionals," said Spear. "Our Community Hubs create opportunities for customers to not only shop in a way that never previously existed, but to connect with each other and with FIGS on a deeper level."
