We all know we’re supposed to do it, but how many of us are actually regularly cleansing, toning, moisturizing, exfoliating, and masking? Personally, the routine can take too long and can get pretty boring.

It seems Montagne Jeunesse read our minds. Sold in individually-packaged satchets, Montagne Jeunesse’s masques come in yummy flavors like “hot chocolate”, “strawberry soufflé”, “virgin olive”, “green tea”,  “sensuous spice”, “peach & walnut”, and many many more.

And because each packet holds enough for a single use, skin care’s moved out of the realm of being a necessary chore to become a fun, daily activity. Sometimes we get too antsy to try a new flavor, we end up masquing twice a day!

At the same time, while the ingredients might keep changing, each and every Montagne Jeunesse masque is taking your skin closer and closer to healthy perfection. It’s so conveniently quick and simple!

Get your free sample at The POP Bag’s “New Years Eve” event on December 9th at the Clearview Chelsea Cinemas! For more information on the event, fan us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @thepopbag.

When people hear the word Liquorice, their response is usually “No Thank You” but that’s because they haven’t tried Darrell Lea Liquorice from Australia. A soft and flavorful treat, this is a product you do not want to miss out on. NY moviegoers, you have a chance to sample it this Friday, June 10th, at the Chelsea Clearview Cinemas beginning with the 7pm showing of “Super 8″ while supplies last!

Darrell Lea Liquorice is Australia’s number 1 Soft Eating Liquorice.  It is made from natural flavors and real liquorice root, hence the spelling of “liquorice” and not “licorice”. The way they cook their liquorice is what makes them different – they cook it to seal the moisture and add what they call a little “Aussie Magic”. 25,000 miles of the Soft Eating Liquorice is produced each year, as they say “enough to cross Australia ten times”.

For our “Super 8″ POP Bag event, they have provided samples of their mango and strawberry liquorice. Also, you will receive a coupon for a FREE full size bag of the liquorice. What more can you ask for?

“Dressed” is a movie showcasing the story of Nary Manivong, a clothing designer pursuing his dream of showcasing his fashion line at New York Fashion Week.  Nary’s story is very inspiring because at the age of 14, he and his siblings were abandoned by their parents and left homeless.  He then moved to New York with only $200 in his pocket.    This film will show the many steps he takes to achieve his goal.  Ally Hilfiger, Tommy Hilfiger’s daughter, has joined with Nary to develop a clothing line called “Nahm” to be introduced later this year.  “Dressed” will play exclusively at the Chelsea Clearview Cinemas in Manhattan starting on February 4th.  Tickets can be purchased here: http://bit.ly/ehJtIk

Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter.  What else can I say?  Part 1 of the cult film series will be in theaters November 19th.   I don’t get why they are putting us through the torture of having to watch the movie in 2 parts, making us excited to see Part 1 in November but keeping us in suspense until Part 2 is released in July of next year.  Who can wait to see what twist and turns and changes from the book the movie has in store?  I guess we will have to.  But until then, here’s the trailer for the first part of the movie. 

Thanks to all who helped out and attended our Eat Pray Love Event!  We had a blast and we hope you guys did too!  For those of you who did not make it, here’s a recap of what went down.

The Anti-Aging Elixir is a daily powder drink to hydrate and nourish the skin.  It contains Collactive, which is a new anti-wrinkle ingredient along with Acai Berry, Goji Berry, Pomegranate, and Blueberry.  It only has 30 calories! What more can one ask for?  Oh yea, it also has no added sugar!

For our Eat Pray Love POP Bag, Vao Vao Chocolate will be providing their 64% dark chocolate bars! Here is a little more about the decadent chocolate:

VAO VAO 64% is the perfect introduction to an authentic fine dark chocolate: well-balanced and mellow, it has a rich flavor profile with subtle notes of red berries and tropical fruit.

VAO VAO’s bean-to-bar process is time-intensive and artisanal, roasting the entire cocoa beans with the shell to capture the original cocoa flavor found on the island of Madagascar. And the fewer the ingredients, the purer and more refined the flavor!

Moreover, unlike numerous chocolate makers, VAO VAO is guaranteed single-origin, so you can enjoy the most authentic chocolate experience on the market.

A portion of the profits go to a micro-finance institution.
