More than ever, you are able to get cutting edge skin care for a fraction of what you used to be able to get it for. Case in point, Avon is launching a new anti-aging breakthrough to fight fine lines and wrinkles called the ANEW Wrinkle Zone Line Smoothing Duo.

Beauty Addicts – Beauty Made Simple

Lianne Farbes — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:38:18 +0000

Have you been on the hunt for a no-fuss makeup line that takes all the guess work away without looking overly matchy? I have known about beautyADDICTS for a while now (their Express eye palette is one of my smokey eye go to faves!) and it is truly ‘beauty made simple’. This is an elegant beauty system designed around the lifestyles, attitudes, and moods of today’s women.

They have replaced the conventional “seasonal color story” with four color families: GLOW, EXPRESS, MOTIVATE, and SEDUCE. The color palettes empower women to create their own look – be it casual, flirtatious, professional, or downright glamorous. The main principle of this line is that any woman can wear any of these colors, according to her mood. Nothing is too blue-ish, yellow-ish etc. In fact, even though there are distinct color families they are all pretty neutral in my opinion.

The Rundown:

Glow Shimmering smokey Lavender shades make this a day to evening favorite. Wear some of the lighter shades and then smoke it up for happy hour after work!!

Express Buff, Rose-Gold, Cream & Bronze shades make this a fantastic alternative to the traditional smokey eye (one of my all time favorite shadow palettes as well!)

Motivate Heather, berry plum and pale pink make this a pretty color palette for everyday.

Seduce White, silver, b;ack and burgundy…..great for evening looks and a smokey eye.

Honorable mention, the gel based glimmerSHEERS are absolutely FANTASTIC for summer! Great way to get a sheer glow on your cheeks or anywhere else you want to shimmer. Also, the new Mineral sheerTINT SPF 20 is phenomenal alone or when mixed with a bit of your favorite serum for a bit of color without being a full face of foundation….also great for summer!

Estee Lauder Sensuous Gold Collection

Lianne Farbes — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 14:22:42 +0000

Inspired by the ease and sensuality of the season’s fashions, Estée Lauder has created Sensuous Gold – a uniquely feminine, luxurious new color collection for fall 2009. Using soft nuances of color with rich tints, tones and washes, Sensuous Gold gently brings out an inner radiance and reveals the softer side of every woman. Skin is luminous, warm and radiant in a soft veil of golden tones.

Eyes are delicately defined in soft shades of golden amber and peach accented by rich, regal amethyst. Lips are luxuriously dressed for the season in sateen finishes of coppery nudes and supple plums. Sensuous Gold creates a look that is at once sophisticated, luxurious and naturally feminine. Completing the impression is the distinctly modern and luxurious rose golden packaging.

These are my favorite shades for fall….warm and shimmery. These shades have several “versions” so no matter the skin tone, you will find one that works for you. I am loving the violet nail polish, which is a great way to try a trend without being too drastic.
