Makeup Review, Before/After Photos: Lancôme Bienfait Teinté BB Cream – Natural, Even Coverage In 4 Shades

Just look at the Before/After pictures, and note how even my skin looks after application! You can’t say this new Bienfait Teinté BB Cream ($45.00) from Lancôme is not flawless.

Available in four shades, this new BB cream gives skin natural, even coverage while also serving as your daily source of vitamin- and antioxidant-enriched hydration. Twenty-four hour moisture is your payoff without a greasy feel.

There is broad spectrum SPF 30 to protect skin, yet it leaves no oily residue like some other products within the same category. What I really appreciate is its …

Makeup Review, Swatches: Lancôme Color Design Eye Brightening All-In-One 5 EyeShadow & Liner Palette – New Peach Opulence Shade

I love when a cosmetic palette comes with suggested instructions on where to place their colors! I find that so very helpful and even if you use the colors any which way you’d like to, at least you know one was created for an overall base, another for the crease, another to be used as a highlighter, etc. Lancôme Paris Color Design Eye Brightening All-In-One 5 Shadow & Liner Palettes ($49.00) do just that!
Not only can these shadows be applied wet or dry, but they are formulated with vitamin E, …

Review, Ingredients, Before/After Photos: Dr. Perricone MD Photo Plasma SPF 30 – Anti-Aging Moisturizer Protects Skin Against Free Radicals

Photo Plasma ($69.00), a uniquely designed moisturizer from Perricone MD Cosmeceuticals, was formulated with mineral-based broad spectrum SPF 30: titanium dioxide and zinc oxide that delivers powerful anti-aging benefits, as well as efficiently and effectively protecting the skin against damaging UVA and UVB rays and other skin aggressors.

Makeup Review, Before/After Photos, Swatches: Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner, Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner – New Turquoise, Periwinkle Shades

Having reviewed Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Snow last year, I started using the same eyeliner in Carbon Black, too — as it made a precise line very easily and never smudged nor feathered and was also long-wearing. I could go thick or thin, and I loved the felt tip’s cool touch when applying the color on my upper lash line.

This year, everyone went mad-crazy over both the Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner and Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner ($20.00) in Turquoise, making it very …
