Paul & Joe Limited Edition Sparkles Make-up

paul-and-joe-beaute

Combining style, the latest trends and gorgeous make-up Paul & Joe Beaute have debuted their new Limited Edition Sparkles make-up line for fall 2009.  Each set (three total) consists of a vibrant lipstick and a compact eye shadow duo.  Packaged in gorgeous paisley or floral tubes and compacts the colors are natural and work well for everyday use.

The Paul & Joe Limited Edition Sparkles line is the perfect way to update your look. It is also a easy, quick way to simplify your morning make-up routine.  Just apply a few simple swipes of the reckless red lipstick or iron gray/black eye shadow for example and it will brighten your face and your day.  I love how each of the three lipsticks is spot-on with this seasons trend while the eye shadows are classic sets and colors with a hint of sparkle to really make the eyes pop.

Personally, I cannot think of a better little collection that not only fits into your purse, gym bag or in your vanity drawer than the Paul & Joe fall 2009 Sparkles line.  It makes getting ready a cinch and keeps you stylish all at the same time.  Perfect for us Moms on the go too!

Creme de La Mer – The Radiant Concealer SPF 25

I have had a wonderful relationship with LaMer from the very first time I tried the original LaMer Moisturizer. There is nothing like LaMer for my skin when I’m traveling on dry air planes and have to subject my skin to all skins of makeup for my work.

As far as LaMer cosmetics, I’m a relative newbie, so I was excited to try the concealer, since that is one of must have products I have on me at all times to look put together no matter what the day is like!

The Radiant Concealer is a great product because it has everything that I love to have in a concealer. It’s lightweight, creamy, silky smooth with a perfect consistency that is not too thin or too thick. It was easy to blend with either my fingers or the included brush. This is a cream to powder formula which also eliminated the need to set my concealer with powder (= time saver)! It’s also very concentrated I only had to use the smallest amount spread over both eyes easily and gave me fantastic coverage (=bye bye dark circles!).

I was extremely impressed with the shade I used which worked well on my skin tone, and the lasting power of the formula. There was no creasing, melting, flaking or changing on color in the concealer. At the end of the day my under eye area looked as good as it did in the morning when I first applied it.

I also found it perfect as a touch up/spot concealer for small blemishes and uneven marks, with the same long lasting results – in hot temps and humidity as well. The fact that the concealer also has SPF 25 is another fantastic feature. This little wonder will be in my makeup kit at ALL times now.A. H.

Editor’s Note: Since LaMer makes some of the best color cosmetics on the market today I would still love to see a greater range of colors for the foundation/powder/concealer :) – RLB

Wear Your Favorite Lip Gloss on your Pinky Finger

lip-gloss-rings

In this age of multi-functional iPhones and Blackberries you can access email, social networking sites and even pinpoint your exact longitude and latitude all with the touch of a button. It is all very 21st century superhero. But even the most fabulous superhero doesn’t have time to dig for her lip gloss while conferencing into a meeting en route to grabbing a Frappucino!

That’s why I love lip gloss rings and perfume rings. You can instantly touch up your lip gloss or fragrance at the flip of your wrist. Who can resist a bold flash of bling containing a secret compartment of lip gloss or fragrance? Here are a roundup of bold cocktail rings with secret compartments that will keep you looking divine and smelling sweet.

The Michael Kors “Very Hollywood” ring is the most coveted of the bunch, it looks amazing by itself as an oversized chunky cocktail ring, and the added benefit of fragrance inside makes it an absolute must-have. The luxurious solid perfume ring contains notes of mandarin , gardenia, and vetiver. Lovely! The Thierry Mugler “Angel “solid perfume ring would make an excellent complement to this season’s moto and biker looking trend. The chrome finish of the signature avant garde star will pair nicely with studded booties or handbags. The Thierry Mugler “Angel ” scent contains notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and patchouli, with lower notes of fresh citrus, melons, peaches, and plums. Lancome Precious Carat Lip Gloss Jewel is not exactly a ring, but it is a precious object in its own right. The ‘jewel’ hides a sparkling lip gloss to be worn alone or with lipstick. Juicy Couture’s Lip Gloss Cocktail Ring in Black looks like another fabulous statement cocktail ring until you open the secret compartment. Inside is hidden a small mirror (genius!) and a small compartment containing lip gloss. Perfect for a first date or your next undercover spy adventure.

Wake Up tired Eyes with M.A.C. Studio Finish Concealer

  • posted August 4th, 2009

concealer

Most days and especially during the summer months I wear only concealer with a bit of mineral foundation to even out my skin tone. My go to concealer of the moment is the M·A·C Studio Finish SPF 35 concealer. It takes literally seconds to apply and adds the instant illusion of a full night of sleep and brightens my eyes. The concealer never creases, is water-resistant (a must have for contact lens wearers) has super staying power as well as preps the my eyelids to a perfectly smooth surface to hold a swoosh of Chanel shadow on my lids and a bit of liner. My other must-have for applying concealer is a foundation primer. The primer helps the concealer to go on smoothly and to prevent creases during wear. I also use M·A·C Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50 and a Shu Uemura Kolinksy Brush 5R.  The concealer brush is time saver and ensures consistent and even coverage and helps to blend into those hard to reach spots and doesn’t pull or tug on the delicate skin surrounding the eyes.
