The Month in Review: July, 2010.

/

I know that many of you (like myself) travel in the summer and don't stay as up to date on favorite websites during this time. I figured, what a better way to make sure you didn't miss anything by putting together a month in review for you. I tried to break the posts down into categories so you can quickly see what you might have missed or see a post you want to re-visit again.

Enjoy!

Estée Lauder Introduces Pure Color Gloss.

/

The easiest way to add some color to your look is with a lip color. When it comes to summer, I like gloss the best. For both of those, reasons I am loving this new collection of glosses from Estée Lauder. Meet Pure Color Gloss.

Created by Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director Tom Pecheux, this new collection features their exclusive True Vision™ Technology. What is that? well, it is a new method of wrapping pigments in a crystal-like coating to provide intense, brilliant color and shine to lips. And talk about color. There are 34 shades and 3 different finishes to choose from.

Once you select from the range of colors that include natural nudes, edible berries, seductive reds and sensual plums, pick your finish. From a soft satin shine to an energetic sparkle, these three distinct finishes glide onto the lips to draw maximum attention:

SHINE: Color-true pigment polymers deliver an ultra shiny, glossy finish
SHIMMER: Finely cut pearls provide a mirrored shine with fierce shimmer
SPARKLE: Super high-shine fused with high-powered metallic sparkle for the most dramatic look

Plus, the Pure Color Glosses are enriched with Vitamin C and Vitamin E to moisturize and help protect lips, while multi-functional humectants enhance lips’ emolliency and moisturization leaving lips immediately soft and hydrated. So, over time the condition of the lips improves, feeling and looking younger and healthier. All that while looking beautifully glossy, that is never sticky at all.

Pick you shade and try on of the new Pure Color Gloss at you favorite Estée Lauder counter, or online. Each gloss sells for $18.00.

Two New Ceramide Innovations from Elizabeth Arden.

/

Last week, I enjoyed a much needed facial at the Red Door Spa and some of the Ultra Restorative products were used.  My skin looked and felt more than amazing after.  When I was told that there were a few more Ceramide products being added to the line up, I was quite excited.   Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra Lift and Firm Eye Cream SPF 15 and Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra All Night Repair and Moisture Cream for Face and Throat are sure to be at the fore front of anti-aging innovations as arethe rest of the products in the line.

Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra Lift and Firm Eye Cream SPF 15 is a lightweight yet intensive eyecare formula, which plumps up the look of fine lines and crow’s feet as it lifts and firms the appearance of skin in the delicate eye area for a younger, more rested look.

Paired with an eye cream, what would be a better match than a soothing, highly moisturizing night cream, perfect to keep your skin looking renewed and fresh for the morning? Ceramide Plump Perfect Ultra All Night Repair and Moisture Cream for Face and Throat is an intensive rejuvenating cream that helps to plump, lift and firm the look of skin for a more contoured, sculpted appearance as it boosts essential moisture.
