Bioré: New Charcoal Products

Yes, I have used Bioré products for years! Who can forget all of the impurities found on the strips after using them?! That in itself made me want to clean my face that much better to help keep my skin in the best possible condition. After I would clean my face, I would still find all sorts of make up left over and I could not believe how clean my face would feel after using better and more effective skincare treatments.

Debuting this season, Bioré introduces three NEW charcoal products to their line. With its ability to attract dirt and oil like a magnet, Bioré has taken natural black charcoal and transformed into three new formulas to draw out deep down impurities for the deepest clean yet.

· Bioré Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar

· Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips

· Bioré Charcoal Pore Minimizer


More about the products...

Bioré Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar – Bioré is “raising the bar” on skincare expectations – literally. Liquid cleansers have their place, but some of us just prefer a bar experience. For those who like to hold pore cleansing power in the palm of their hand, this new cleanser features a dual action formula to exfoliate while deep cleaning pores. This cleanser draws out and binds to deep down dirt and oil for 2.5 times cleaner pores than a basic cleanser. With jojoba beads and peppermint, the formula gently exfoliates and leaves skin feeling refreshed and smooth.
Price: $6.49







Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips - When you have oily skin, shine prevention is essential. For the first time, the Biore skincare experts have added natural charcoal powder to the iconic Pore Strips, reducing oil for a full 24 hours. With next generation proprietary c-bond technology and potent charcoal, the strips remove clogs and weeks’ worth of buildup and you’ll see 3x less oil. Containing witch hazel and tea tree oil, the formula refines pores to diminish their appearance over time.
Price: $6.49





Bioré Charcoal Pore Minimizer – Not only can clogged pores lead to blemishes, but dirt and oil filled pores look larger and even more noticeable. Replace pore magnification with minimization with this essential Charcoal Pore Minimizer. Infused with natural charcoal, the advanced formula activates on contact with water to target and draw out deep down impurities. Exfoliating micro-crystals polish skin smooth, leaving pores visibly smaller after just one use.
Price: $8.99

Hourglass Cosmetics: Recent Launches

Below you will read about Modernist Eyeshadow Palettes from Hourglass Cosmetics as well as their new Equilibrium Biomimetic Skin Active Serum. It was just a few years ago when I was introduced to the brand and I have witnessed their immense growth in all beauty categories. I continue to wear their Panoramic Long Wear Lip Liner, Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation, Veil Mineral Primer, Ambient Lighting Blush and more from their wonderful brand.

When I first saw these eyeshadow palettes I swooned as they looked like small works of art to me. Available in 7 shades, the Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette ($58) launched just last month at Barneys New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Net-A-Porter.com, Sephora, Space NK, Violet Grey and Hourglasscosmetics.com.

About the palettes: 

• Innovative pressing technique provides a continuous form, offering advanced blending and artistry.
• Complementary colors for base, crease, and eyeliner allow for endless customized looks with one palette.
• Artist-inspired palettes feature a range of finishes, from matte to shimmer, for countless combinations, from subtle to dramatic.
• Unique sculptural design provides superior control for picking up and blending pigment.
• Each shade and finish is specifically calibrated to work with the other formulas within the palette.
• The finely-milled, creamy formula—the first of its kind—is exceptionally soft, longwearing and crease-resistant.
• Shimmer shades may be applied wet for more dramatic color.

Shades available are ATMOSPHERE (Cool Neutrals), MONOCHROME (Rose), EXPOSURE (Plums), GRAPHITE- Sephora EXCLUSIVE ( Smokey), COLOR FIELD ( Olive Greens), OBSCURA (Earth Tones) and INFINITY (Warm Neutrals).


    

Monochrome and Infinity.



Graphite (Sephora Exclusive) and Obsucura.



Exposure, Color Field and Atmosphere.


Exposure on my eyes.....ever so pretty!


Additionally, Hourglass also recently launched a new skin treatment called Equilibrium Biomimetic Skin Active Serum ($350). This revolutionary nighttime re-balancing treatment acts as a signal to epidermal renewal, relying on a bio-identical phosphatidylglycerol, the youth lipid found in high concentrations in amniotic fluid, found to normalize skin cell growth. 




It also acts to hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen production. The skin active serum acts at night as it is the key time for cellular rejuvenation! After a full cellular skin turn over cycle, which occurs every 40-56 days, skin will become more balanced and have improved texture and tone.

This product is produced in small batches and therefore will have limited availability. It is available exclusively at Hourglass Abbot Kinney, Bergdorf Goodman and Liberty London.

FLOR from Oscar de la Renta

His legend shall forever live on. Oscar de la Renta has launched FLOR, a feminine new fragrance hitting shelves just in time for Valentine’s Day. It’s romantic, pink and gorgeous. Oscar FLOR in its simplicity is a flower, natural, bright and fragrant.

FLOR is a modern creation of a fresh, sparkling floral bouquet that carries the sophistication of Oscar signature with a twist of elegance and surprise...a gentle balance of freshness and soft sensuality.

“Oscar FLOR was created with a touch of audacity & more than a splash of originality; all coming from the desire to explore new olfactory territories.

An irreverent fragrance, Oscar FLOR bursts forth with profound feminine splendor.   Inspired by Oscar’s home is the Dominican Republic, which has an overture of elegance and romanticism infused with rich opulence. I wanted to create a fragrance like his home; sophisticated and chic with an undeniable charm.

For me, this fragrance had to feel luxurious and elegant but it also had to be fun and unexpected.  I wanted the top to sparkle with juicy freshness of Lychee, Juicy Mango, Tangerine, Crisp Ivy; while the heart took an elevated turn of glamour and surprise with notes of Bulgarian Rose Orpur®, Jasmine Sambac and Neroli.  From the back comes all the texture, warmth and character. Sheer Cassis, Tonka Beans, Seductive Musk complete the interlude and keep you wanting more.”
-Calice Becker, Perfumer




Top notes are Sparkling Lychee, Lush Neroli and Crisp Ivy. Middle notes are Pink Jasmine, Fresh Picked Mango and Blanc Peony. Bottom notes are Creamy Musk, Tonka Bean and Sheer Cassis.

FLOR is available at Macy’s and Dillards for $78 (100ml EDP) and $20 (10ml rollerball).

Smashbox Cosmetics: Newest Launches

After meeting Smashbox Founder and Celebrity Photographer a few years ago, I knew Davis Factor was a visionary. A creative genius in my opinion. 

"So many music videos, scenes and commercials are shot at Smashbox Studios. We started noticing that certain cameras being used that made everyone look amazing in film. These cameras actually reduced the need for retouching. And from this camera technology, we created light filter technology and infused it into this product." 

Introducing New Photo Filter Powder Foundations ($42) available in 10 shades that act like a photo filter in a compact! 

It is a powder foundation that is infused with light filter technology that refract light in various directions. 

The texture is velvet like and applies with ultra smoothness. The double sided sponge was specially designed to create a range of finishes and coverage levels. The smooth side is for a demi- matte, fuller coverage where the velvety side is for a more natural, lighter coverage. 

Available at Smashbox.com, Sephora, Sephora inside JCPenney, ULTA, Nordstrom, Beauty.com and select Macy's.


Also from Smashbox Cosmetics are the Step-By-Step Contour Stick Trio ( $40) which is a Sephora Exclusive. These three creamy sticks help make contouring your face, no matter what shape, easy! 

"Every day we play with lighting to add depth and dimension to the face. If done right, everyone can have amazing cheekbones, a great nose and a killer jawline. Contouring does the exact same thing, except with makeup" says Davis Factor. 

Key words- if done right. We have all seen Kim K's contouring face chart as well as so many other MUA's and a lot looks quite complex. When not blended correctly, one can look unnatural. I go by the late great Kevyn Aucoin's techniques when contouring and the new Smashbox Contour Stick Trio makes for an easy blend. It is amazing what a little contouring can do! Most people asked if I lost weight when I do it! 

The 3 ultra- blendable creamy sticks glide effortlessly onto the skin. I love that there is a guide called #SHAPEMATTERS that shows you how to apply the sticks based on your face shape. 

I like thinning out my nose and making a stronger jawline. I also apply the darker color to the hollows of my cheeks for a more sculpted cheekbone.

Once again, contouring can work on anyone and I do believe you will be amazed with the results once you get the hang of it.
