With names like Naked, Truth, Vain, Dare, Virgin and Vixen — how could one not want to try these newly launched lipglosses from vbeauté? I was so taken with founder, Julie Macklowe, that I reached out via to review her new Lip Spread Anti-Age Hydrating Lip Glosses ($28.00 each).
I started seeing ads for the brand in both Vogue and Allure Magazines, and was even more intrigued! The picture of her attending the 2013 Met Gala put me over the edge. She looked simply amazing! I had to know more about …

Leave it to the Giorgio Armani Beauty creators to consistently come up with new technology in their beauty formulations. Remember how much I loved the waterless foundation known as Maestro Fusion Makeup? It took eight years in the making and was soon in every magazine, on every “Must-Have” list, and also won the Allure 2012 Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award.
Now, Giorgio Armani Beauty does it again with Flash Lacquer ($29.00) lipgloss! Available in 36 shades (yes, I said 36 shades), and coming to lips at fine department store counters near you and …

Seeing Stella Tennant in the new NARS Spring 2013 Color Collection campaign makes my heart go pitter-patter. I remember her from the 90s. Her edgy look in the colorful, fierce and bold new collection makes her appear as if she hasn’t aged at all!
I mean really, first Kristen McMenamy and now Stella? Happy beauty mama over here! As François was up-and-coming, these models at the time were working; I was at Allure Magazine. It’s so very lovely to see things come full circle.

The new collection introduces a vibrant, 90s-esque palette that …

 
Body washes just got more caring. Glyoinate, an ultra-mild ingredient primarily used in high-end facial care products, has been added to the body wash’s surfactant mix to create the brand’s mildest formula ever. Dove combined this cleansing mix with the brand‘s NutriumMoisture® technology that replenishes essential nutrients and nourishes skin deep  down for a new standard in  care.
BeautyStat’s Ron Robinson is a fan of Dove’s new body washes,
“Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash with NutriumMoisture contains DEFI, a combined cleansing ingredient (Sodium Lauroyl Isothionate) and a moisturizing ingredient (Stearic Acid). This …

The new Stila tagline alert (that I love) is: “Makeup your own rules.” Stila is in the process of rebranding itself with a new campaign that has just rolled out and can be seen in Allure, Elle, InStyle and Marie Claire Magazine just to name a few. The big product news for this season is to expand their best-selling Stay All Day Collection (I still wear their Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Beauty Balm I reviewed when it first launched). The trend of longer wearing makeup is everywhere from drugstore …

Upon first application, not only does it smell delicious (vitamin C Ester is a fusion of vitamin C with a fatty acid derived from palm oil to create a fat-soluble, stable form of vitamin C), but it felt like it had some depth to it — although it was quite lightweight.
On my face, it felt as if the cream was …
