Kiehl’s eliminates winter skincare woes with NEW Ultra Facial Kits‏

ufkit_moisturizersmall.jpg

In response to customer feedback, Kiehl’s Since 1851, the venerable New York-based purveyor of fine quality skin and hair care is introducing two Ultra Facial Kits. Inspired by Kiehl’s classic Ultra Facial Moisturizer, a favorite since the early 1970s that provides superior moisture, these kits consist of hydrating formulations enriched with restoring Squalane to deliver restored and healthier skin – ideal for the harsh winter weather.

Formulated for all skin types, each product in the Ultra Facial Kits is infused with a blend of Kiehl’s classic ingredients including Squalane*, Apricot Kernel Oil, Avocado Oil, and Vitamin C and E – providing moisture and hydration at every step.

Step 1 – Cleanse – Ultra Facial Cleanser is a mild cleanser specially formulated with a sugar-derived glycoside foaming agent to thoroughly cleanse skin and remove make-up, without stripping skin of its natural oils.

Step 2 – Tone – Ultra Facial Toner is a mild, yet effective alcohol-free toner that gently removes surface debris and any remaining residue while providing hydration and comfort to skin.

Step 3 – Moisturize – One kit includes Ultra Facial Cream, a 24 hour hydrator, helps reduce skin’s moisture loss while drawing and absorbing moisture from the air. Skin is visibly well-balanced, particularly in harsh weather conditions. The other kit offers Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 15, a preparation with a light, moisturizing texture that will leave the skin feeling smooth and conditioned after use.

Ultra Facial Cream Kit: $24.50 Ultra Facial Moisturizer Kit: $29.50

Ultra Facial Cleanser (1 oz) Ultra Facial Cleanser (1 oz)

Ultra Facial Toner (1.4 oz) Ultra Facial Toner (1.4 oz)

Ultra Facial Cream (1.7 oz.) Ultra Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15 (4.2 oz.)

Smashbox’s Eye Shadow Trios in Twilight and Panorama ($28 at www.smashbox.com) are perfect. Twilight consists of shimmering white, silver and black; Panorama has pearl, purple taupe, and eggplant shades. Whether you want dramatic or subtle, you’re set.

I am obsessed with Smashbox’s eye trios! I  was just sent some color samples of the Smashbox eyeshadow trios and I have been using them daily I think my other eyeshadows are getting jealous! My favorite has to be Microfilm I’m actually excited to get up each day and try a new look. The coordinated shades make experimenting a breeze I started this week using the matte brown as my base color with a green accent and am now using the gold and metallic green together with a hint of the brown. Every combo I try looks great and really opens my eyes. On top of truly vibrant colors the colors stay true all day!

Smashbox also helps you grab this look with its Waterproof Shadow Liner Duo in Smolder and Slate ($25). The cream shadow glides on smoothly and evenly, giving you the power to create soft, smoky definition in one quick step. The waterproof, crease-proof formula is the modern way to emphasize your eyes!

Yeah for Smashbox! I have always loved their gel liner and have found another eyeliner to covet with Smashbox Waterproof  Shadow Liner Duo.  When the sample showed up on my door I jumped at the chance to try it.  The cream is so smooth and glides on so easy it makes application a snap the color duo is all you need for a sexy smoky eye. If you have days that seem to never end this is the eyeliner for you! This stuff does not move, your eyes will look as great at bedtime as they did when you left the house in the morning.

Instant Definition Eye Shadow Palettes from Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired by Carmindy ($7.95 at drugstores nationwide) also let you to play up your eyes. Whether it’s the Storm Eye Palette, Ocean Eye Palette, or the Mountain Eye Palette, you can get that smoky eye in no time.

Quick tip from Carmindy: Simply apply the highlight shade under the brow and on the inner corners of the eyes. Sweep on the smoldering lid shade across the lid from the lash line to the crease and smudge a bit under the lower lash line. Finish off by applying the contour shade across the crease.

I have been really impressed with the new Sally Hansen Natural Beauty inspired by Carmindy. I have found some drugstore lines either irritate my skin or having no staying power. All of the Sally Hansen by Carmindy items I have had the luck of sampling have stood out from the rest. With great colors that stay vibrant all day and absolutely no eye irritation. The Sally Hansen eye trios are an affordable eyeshadow product that makes great looking eyes affordable at every price point.

New from Laura Geller! i-care Waterproof Eyeliner Trio!

lgeyelinertrio.jpglgeyelinertrio1.jpg

These new eyeliners from Laura Geller go perfectly with my new eyeshadow! I love how easily the liner glides on, and most of all – I love how long it lasts! It’s waterproof eyeliner (which in my opinion is absolutely necessary) and is long-lasting! One of the greatest features of this liner is that it comes with it’s own sharpener – built in! I’m always losing my eyeliner sharpeners – so this is fabulous!! You won’t be disappointed!

What is it: I-Care waterproof eyeliner is a nourishing, long-wearing formula that glides on for expertly lined lids that last. The ingredients in the versatile trio are ideal for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes. Ophthalmologist-tested.

Who is it for: Designed for those who want perfectly-lined eyes.

Why is it different: I- Care’s treatment-like formula contains beneficial and nourishing ingredients perfect for the delicate eye area. Mineral oil-and preservative-free, I-Care is specifically formulated for use around the eyes. The highly smudge-proof formula helps to perfectly line the inner eyelid. A soft, flexible smudger is attached to the opposite end. Pull the smudger off to find a little sharpener tucked inside. Unlike most eye pencils, I-Care has a retractable point.

How do I use it: For a fine line, sharpen the tip and draw a line as close to your upper and lower lashes as possible. Extend the line slightly at the outer corner. For a smoky look, make the line a little wider, and feather it out with the smudger. To line the inside of the lower eyelid, press gently on the skin below your eye to bring the lid forward, and apply with care. To keep the liner moist and creamy, remember to click the cap tightly in place between uses.

From Laura Geller.
