/

Lancôme’s latest and greatest mascara, Définicils Precious Cells, is now available exclusively at Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com.

Lancôme is sure to be pretty proud of all of their mascaras. You know that Lancôme is the lash leader in the luxury market. But this new mascara is one to be especially excited about. It’s Lancôme’s first mascara to regenerate the condition of lashes, minimize lash loss and, of course, make your lashes look fab.

 

Définicils Precious Cells High Definition Amplifying Mascara contains the following ingredients:

  • Swiss apple extract: The plant extract of Malus Domestica, already in Absolue Precious Cells, was shown to restore the environment of the epidermal stem cells in vitro. This extract contains cellular components such as peptides, lipids and sugars that can be assimilated by skin cells.
  • Madecassoside­: Derived from centella asiatica, a healing plant from Madagascar that helps strengthen and thicken lashes, Madecassoside is commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine because of its healing properties.
  • Arginine: A nourishing amino acid with conditioning properties.

THE FORMULA

Définicils Precious Cells Mascara boasts an entirely new creamy texture.  Just as with the original best-selling Définicils, this formula not only defines lashes beautifully, but also creates a fuller lash look.

A Beautifully Bare Sensation from Lancôme.

/

During the hotter months of the year, I usually revert to tinted moisturizer for normal daytime use. There are plenty of those days though, that I need more coverage and longer wear. Finding a foundation to do just that has been quite difficult. Until now, that is.

Lancôme recently launched a wonderful new long wearing foundation that  feels like wearing nothing at all. Yes, it is a beautifully bare sensation and it is called Teint Idole Fresh Wear Foundation. It has a built in SPF of 15 too!

"This fresh formula in a convenient tube delivers weightless yet moderate coverage that instantly minimizes the look of pores and imperfections. The complexion remains flawless and shine-free from morning until night – for a full 18 hours – even under humidity and perspiration."

I say, hooray. It really is what I have been searching for in an all-day makeup. Only a small amount is needed for complete coverage too. I mean, the size of a small pea blends out perfectly over my entire face with either a foundation brush or sponge.

Lancôme celebrity makeup artist Sandy Litner explains her feeling for this new beauty: "Teint Idole Fresh Wear Foundation evens out the skin tone and then disappears, like you’re not wearing a foundation. Makeup should look effortless, especially in the casual summer months. Fresh Wear is perfect for this effortless look. It also happens to feel great on the skin.”

Teint Idole is available in a full range of 17 shades and retails for $32.00. Shop for it at your favorite Lancôme counter or online.

Lancôme Summer 2010: Bronze Riveria.

/

I think we have been spoiled with gorgeous, unseasonably warm weather in the Northeast, because it has turned cold and I am not happy. I have been going through all of the new summer collections to give me warmth, and I plan to bring you a new one each day, in between regular postings.

Let's start with this new one from Lancôme. It has me longing for a warm summer vacation in the Riviera, and it is titled appropriately so, Bronze Riviera.

 

The makeup collection is a mix of mineral blushes, bronzers and sheer glosses, that all scream to bring on summer once and for all. Here are the highlights of the collection:

  • Ageless Minérale Blush - $29.50
    A loose mineral blush in summer shades, it is available in Sparkling Sand, Brilliant Berry and Luminous Rose. 
  • Tropiques Minérale Magic Bronzing Brush - $33.00
     A portable bronzer in a brush is always a beauty bag essential, isn't it? This year, Lancôme has created a beauty, available in Cuivre 01.  
  • Tropiques Minérale Bamboo Bronzer - $45.00
    This bronzer is my must have pick from the collection. It makes bronzing beautiful in a palette of colors simple, in one oversized compact. This years' bronzer is called Temptingly Bronze.
  • Juicy Tubes 100% Natural Origin - $18.00
    My favorite Juicy Tubes have a new formula featuring 100% natural origin ingredients (such as honey), flavors and fragrances. These newbies are available in Pink Precious, Blushing Beauty, Rose Pretty and Sheerfully Sweet.
  • Le Vernis Nail Polish - $18.00
    This summer shade is called Ms. Perfectly Pink, which is a chic fuchsia shade ideal for steamy summer days and nights.
