L'Oréal have released their own version of a beauty face oil called Age Perfect Huile Extraordinaire Visage et Décolleté as the tsunami trend continues to wash over our beauty shelves, especially in France where brands such as Monoï Tahiti or Nuxe have been early trend-setters becoming ingrained in the beauty habits of French women, and even the whole family...

Words of Beauty Wisdom from Jacqueline Bisset, the Face of Upcoming Avon Platinum Anew {Beauty Quote of the Day - New Product - Skin}

Avon is preparing to launch a new skincare line targeting women 60 and over called Anew Platinum with the tag line "If you think your youth is gone, think again!". If you are like me, you have had a tendency to always check out creams destined to more advanced age groups, just to see if you could keep your collagen supply optimally boosted. This way, I am hoping to see one day the first marketed cream for 100 years old and over! (not so futuristic, we think.)

But what struck me even more than the good news of a 65-year-old-soon-to-be-66 Jacqueline-Bisset fronted ad campaign are the words of wisdom she delivered in an era when invasive techniques of youth-ification (it's not listed in the dictionary yet and maybe it never should) have become so common that only few people it seems are doing a double-take before heading to the Botox chair.

I culled out two pictures from 2009 and 2010 to see if we could see any differences overtime, and it seems to me (what do you think?) that her skin tone, texture, luminosity, suppleness and firmness have improved between November 2009 and June 2010 (she says the cream does good things for her). Can you guess which of the 2 images is from which period?...

Steam Cream: The New Way to Hydrate from the UK + Beauty Collector Alert

UK brand SteamCream does just what it seems to imply in its evocative name; this is not just poetry: they incorporate "pure, unrefined steam" in the process of making their all-purpose cream in order to get an exceptional, glistening texture that is touted as being super diffusive and maximally ready to be absorbed by all your pores once it hits the skin. I am not sure what "unrefined steam" might mean concretely, but I know I want to try this cream.

Maybe you won't benefit from the misty climate of Albion, but you can get some wisdom from the country's traditional reliance on an enhanced level of humidity.

The cream contains a luscious list of ingredients: oatmeal infusion, almond oil, glycerine, lavender oil, orange flower water, cocoa butter, organic jojoba oil. Special care was devoted to the perfume for the cream which is a blend of essential oils...

Carol's Daughter to Launch Disney Princess Tiana Line

Carol's Daughter is thrilled to be able to contribute to what the brand considers a landmark moment with the release of the new Disney movie The Princess and the Frog featuring for the first time an animated character of African-American heritage in the lead role. To accompany this event, Carol's Daughter has created a limited-edition line of hair and bath & body products which they say is very effective and made with natural ingredients such as aloe leaf juice, cranberry extract, sunfloower seed oil, olive oil etc. Although everyone can use them, African-American hair was specifically kept in mind when devising the products...

Too Faced Primed & Poreless (2009) {New Beauty Product - Skin}

Too Faced just introduced a new primer called Primed & Poreless just in time to fight summer's pore magnifying effect. "Poreless" sounds very confident, so why not give it a go? Apparently it's very versatile color-wise as the nude tone adapts to all complexions.

Perfect for people who prefer to wear as little makeup as possible and favor makeup that treats rather than just cover up flaws.

"This one-of a-kind makeup primer was scientifically formulated to wear alone or under bronzers and foundation powders for a look of flawless skin without makeup. Vitamins A & C, Mulberry extract, and a powerful dose of Retinol virtually banish pores while tired skin is left hydrated, firmer, and detoxified. Primed & Poreless creates the perfect canvas to allow powders, bronzers, and foundations to slide seamlessly on the skin--delivering a flawless and perfectly blended look that stay in place all day. Skin appears brighter, fresher, and younger."

Priced at $30 and available at Sephora.

Yves Saint Laurent Launches New African Colors Collection & Everlong Mascara Waterproof {New Beauty Products - Skin- Cheeks - Eyes}

Yves Saint Laurent, in keeping with their tradition of exoticism, is introducing a new collection of makeup for the summer this time inspired by Africa. YSL, the former great couturier (see also images of his funeral), is well known for having loved to read richly illustrated books about distant lands and derive creative ideas from them, without even having traveled to the places depicted. This trait of his is considered part of his stylistic genius.

This summer of 2008, Val Garland, the Make-Up Artistic Advisor for YSL is offering a strikingly colored line of makeup which includes in particular, a bronzer, Soleil d'Afrique (African Sun), an eye-shadow palette titled Palette Couleurs d'Afrique, a Tinted Veil Tan Booster. These items are limited-editions. As part of the summer 2008 Look is also Everlong Mascara Waterproof which reportedly allows you to dive into the sea without any resulting smudges!...
