It’s award season, and with the Grammy’s airing last night, there were exciting events in Los Angeles this week leading up to this fabulous night which celebrates the best musical artists in the world! Secret Room Events played host to the 2023 Pre-Grammy Nominee Gifting Lounge at the Peterson Automotive Museum and it was a fun-filled afternoon with Grammy nominees, actors, influencers, and media. Run by Rita Branch, Secret Rooms Events really know how to gather some of the most exciting and up and coming brands ranging from beauty to wellness, fashion and more.

Our team at Carmen’s Luxury Travel had the opportunity to attend this event and learn about these brands and their must-have products. Keep reading to discover some of our new favorite luxury lifestyle products everyone should know about, most of which are now used by the stars!

BEAUTY: 

Peach X Pearl Co – Imagine an instant face lift with a constant boost to collagen levels… all possible from inside your home. Peach X Pearl Co are beyond innovative with their new device launching next year called the Renuvi Touch Robotic Facial Toning and Lifting Device. I highly recommend signing up now on their website so you’ll be one of the first notified when the product becomes available for purchase. You’ll be able to pamper your face and neck anywhere from 3 minutes up to 36 minutes, however you’ll be certain to get a healthy glow after only 5 minutes of use. You’ll also be able to reduce and prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin!

Naté Hair Care – With Naté, you can expect high quality hair care suited for all hair types, and with no toxic suds. In as little as 5 minutes, you’ll be able to transform your hair with their deep conditioner that’s lightweight and works hard to restore shine, volume, and hydration. This is achieved through an impressive botanical combination of aloe vera, pacific, kelp, and kaolin clay. The scent is subtle with earthy tones mixed with lavender and lemongrass notes. So if your hair is dry and/or damaged, then you need Naté in your life, and I’d also highly recommend their custom made bamboo hair brush which perfectly stimulates the scalp and gently distributes your conditioner.

Skin Prophecy – For those with any kind of acne, scarring, sun damaged or dehydrated skin, Skin Prophecy will be your saving grace. They are a clinical skin care line started by a pair of sisters (one who’s an esthetician) about 40 years ago, with a brick and mortar establishment in Santa Barbara, CA. Their products are luxuriously handmade with botanicals from rain forests and parts of Europe.

HOMME – HOMME is a men’s grooming brand with a fashion ethos and a focus on sustainability. Their sleek and minimalistic packaging will draw anyone in but their incredible scents and range of products will make you a true fan. Homme offers men everything from concealer to shaving products, hair care, skincare and more.

Honorable Mentions: SJW Cosmetics, 5 Circle Skin Care, Mikel Kristi, Hidden Riches, Cakestry Cosmetics, The Beauty Assassin, LaKoet, Ancient Rituals Cosmetics, J Chrishay, Tatyana Collections, and Rinnovare Skincare.

WELLNESS:

Lifeboost Coffee – The healthiest coffee possible can be found with Lifeboost Coffee! Not only can you count on a cup of coffee with the lowest acid, but Lifeboost prides itself on its sustainable farming and wildlife protection. Their coffee is also mold and chemical-free, non-GMO, shade grown, fairly traded, and single origin… as well as being delicious. They range from light to dark roast, along with a medium roast decaf option, flavored coffee, coffee pods and more.

Candles by Adisa – Whenever you need a luxury candle to bring over as a housewarming party gift, or want to enjoy a relaxing night in and create a lovely ambiance, then you need to check out Candles by Adisa. These aromatherapy candles are made with 100% CBD and virgin coconut soy wax. All of these elements help calm your mind and body while providing aesthetically pleasing decor and fantastic fragrances from around the world.

VAHDAM India – You can trust that Vahdam Teas are incredible, especially since Oprah picked them as one of her “Favorite Things” two years in a row beginning in 2018! Vahdam was founded by a 4th generation tea entrepreneur who believes in sustainable and ethical wellness, bringing India’s finest teas to the United States. I love their beautiful gift sets, but you can also purchase loose leaf tea, tea bags, stylish drink ware and more.

JEWELRY:

Epico Designs – The words ethical and meaningful perfectly sum up Epico Designs. These unique and elegant pieces of jewelry are sustainably made in-house with recycled stainless steel, natural stones, crystal, and pearls. Their materials are also hypoallergenic, water-resistant, and tarnish-free. In other words, you can wear any of their creations everyday without seeing wear or tear. A few of my favorites from their collection are the trendy safety pin earrings, paper clip chain bracelet, and delicate Elsa freshwater pearl necklace.

Gina Gant Collection – Hands down, Gina Gant Collection features some of the most stunning pearl jewelry I’ve ever seen. The pearl drop earring options are especially gorgeous and very fairly priced for their impeccable quality. Founded and created by jewelry designer Regina Porter, she spent years of studying and learning about the expansive trade of pearls around the world, especially in Hong Kong.

ACCESSORIES:

Cheeterz Club – The name Cheeterz Club references the word ‘cheaters’ which is a common word used when talking about readers. For anyone needing reading or blue-light glasses, you can still feel stylish and sexy with a pair from Cheeterz Club! They offer a unique line of fresh styles that use top of the line materials, all plant-based frames with spring hinges and scratch proof lenses with air coating.

Thankfully, they provide such an excellent variety of film products which are so much fun to use to create lasting memories and an exciting alternative to just snapping photos on your phone.

From leather bags, wallets, and accessories to pet supplies and custom orders, they can do it all. They’re also very creative with their exciting special collections like their 90’s inspired Basketball Duffle Bag with a vintage space jam interior.

Pomp & Sass – Pomp & Sass is all about luxury Turkish cotton towels for the bath, beach, travel and more. Along with most of the fantastic brands in this roundup, these towels are ethically made and sustainable, while also donating a portion of each sale to the Canadian Women’s Foundation! Their towels are double-faced Jacquard woven with ring spun Turkish cotton yarn, which makes them plush yet highly absorbent and quick-drying. You can also pack them small, even tucking them into your purse. Plus, they’re beautiful!
