Make Up Beauty Tips

It's another stellar collab effort between prestige beauty company Lancôme and American fashion designer Chriz Benz. This time he's partnered with the brand for a sweet little limited edition gift with purchase, which will be sold exclusively through Saks Fifth Avenue from June 14 - June 25.

Beauty fanatics will remember Benz's wildly popular Chris & Tell lippie from Lancôme's Pout-a-Porter designer lip collection last Spring.  We all raced to get our hands on one. The celebrated designer and frequent Lancôme collaborator is loved by celebrities like Jessica Szohr, Susan Sarandon, Elettra Wiedemann and Eva Amurri and now he’s created a tote solely for Lancôme customers.



Customers will receive the complimentary Chris Benz-designed tote with any $60 purchase, up to a $119 value. Printed with a chic, stylized silhouette, the exclusive design makes the perfect summer accessory. And although receiving the tote would certainly be gift enough, Lancôme has packed the tote with must have products (Définicils Precious Cells Mascara and Absolue Hand), you have the option to select your moisturizer (Absolue Premium BX or Absolue Precious Cells) and your pink (L’Absolu Rouge in Pink Sapphire, Juicy Tubes in Moulin Rose & Blush Subtil in Rose Fresque) or coral (L’Absolu Rouge in Fleur Impressioniste , Juicy Tubes in Coral Rush & Blush Subtil in Shimmer Coral Sunset) makeup trio to tote inside the Benz bag.


Ummmm ... can you say, "Run! Don't walk for this particular GWP event!" ?  Yes, well, do so.  Fair warning, I'm posting this for you, then quickly clicking over the Saks to take advantage of this myself.  It's only while supplies last. Enjoy! xo

Guess all the major brands are liking this little innovation. Here's yet another company hoping to ride the wave of the powered mascara wand trend. Estee Lauder's calling theirs TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara™ and comes equipped with an auto-powered LashSonic Brush that gently vibrates with micro-pulse bristles (SRP - $30). The claim: it leaves your lashes extra-long, voluminous and ready to seduce, all in one shot. Available exclusively at Saks and Saks.com.

In May of this year Saks will be unveiling its homage to natural and wellness products by giving them beauty counters of their very own. Through its The Beauty of Living Well display, customers may view, sample and purchase products from four highlighted companies - Blue Lagoon (a brand that was created from nutrients found in the thermal waters of Iceland's Blue Lagoon), Vinita (a skin care brand from India that focuses on ancient beauty rituals), Skin Nutrition (a line of treatment products and vitamins that promote beauty from the inside out) and Canyon Ranch Your Transformation (a high-powered skin care range from the luxury health spa of the same name). I can give you some first hand info as to the "loveliness" of Blue Lagoon's products having experienced them.

Blue Lagoon is a part of a unique ecocycle where high technology and nature work in perfect harmony

Blue Lagoon skin care products are based on a unique blend of Blue Lagoon geothermal seawater active ingredients: minerals, silica, and algae. They are designed to purify, protect and revitalize the skin, leaving it healthy and glowing. Relax and calm both body and mind. These are not salty type products (as in Dead Sea configurations), but mineral enriched and light in texture and scent.

I happen to have a couple of samples tubes of Blue Lagoon skincare products on hand. If anyone would like to try this brand, please leave me a comment on this posting (below) with an email address so I may contact you for mailing info. I'm happy to send these to the person who replies first, but please be sure to leave me an email address I may reply to or they'll go to someone else.
