Sheryl Crow: Make-up by Clarins at AMA’s 2010

Sunday, November 22nd: At last night’s 2010 American Music Awards, NINE-TIME Grammy Award winning singer Sheryl Crow presented the award for Favorite Male Artist (Country) at the Nokia Theater in L.A., wearing make-up by Clarins.

Inspired by Sheryl’s rock and roll sound, Clarins Celebrity Beauty Artist, Pati Dubroff, created Crow’s red-carpet look using warm, soft bronze shades and amber tones.

The look:

* Cheryl’s skin was smoothed and perfected with a mixture of Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch and Instant Smooth Foundation to achieve a flawless, even tone. Afterwards, Clarins Instant Light Complexion Perfector in Bronze Shimmer was swirled on cheeks for boosted radiance and warmth.

* To enhance the rock and roll vibe, eyes were highlighted and rimmed with Clarins Black Eyeliner Pencil and multiple coats of Wonder Perfect Mascara in Black. Afterwards, eyes were shaped with a matte brown shadow and a pop of amber sheen in the center using Clarins Eye Colour Quartet in Forest.

* To complete the look, lips were kept soft to allow the eyes take center stage! Dubroff applied Clarins Rouge Prodige Lipstick in Rosewood and a touch of Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector in Coral Shimmer to create a warm peachy lip with a soft sheen in the center.

Introducing Elizabeth Arden’s New PREVAGE Eye products!

We’re happy to introduce our readers to Elizabeth Arden’s NEW PREVAGE® Eye formulas!

In developing the new eye formulas, PREVAGE® researchers incorporated the latest Idebenone delivery technology which helps create a reserve of Idebenone to use when and where it’s needed most. This advanced delivery system allows for more efficient use of Idebenone and has been shown to be gentle and effective even on those with sensitive skin – especially important in the sensitive eye area.

I love these new products by Elizabeth Arden. Love them too much, probably, considering they’re $100 each! But I think they might be worth it – because they absolutely deliver on what they promise, and that’s hard to come by! I have been using the Anti-aging serum for about 2 weeks now, and I have visible differences. My eyes look younger, the skin looks softer. The dark circles and puffiness is much less noticeable. It’s nuts how great this product is. You owe it to yourself to try it.

I absolutely love their new moisturizer! It makes my skin feel great all day long! It absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling healthy and soft. It’s nice to know that my skin is being taken care of all day with this incredible lotion. Oh man, I love, love, love it!

As we age – we need to take very good care of our eyes – and these two new products absolutely do the trick.

A few things you need to know… after the jump! More »

I’m in love with Eight Body Moisture!

Eight Body Moisture is a luxurious blend of fourteen natural and essential ingredients formulated to hydrate and nourish dry skin. The soothing essence of French lavender will not compete with your fragrance, as the scent of the essential oil will dissipate. As a moisturizer, Eight is effective for dry skin, or an after-sun moisturizer, massage lotion, shaving lotion or after-shave conditioner.

Each Eight product can be used separately.

I used the Lavender Creme Body Wash, and follow up with the Lavender Body Moisture. It’s so great, especially for winter when our skin is already on the drier side. I love the scent, the lavender is not too overwhelming.

At only $24 for BOTH, this would be a great Christmas present! They are big bottles, and should last you all winter! You won’t be disappointed!

$24 – see other Eight Body Moisture products here!

I have the perfect product for the perfect salon-worth blowout!

I was recently sent Aquage SeaExtend Silkening Oil Treatment to try, and I’m an immediate fan.

I have frizzy hair, so finding the perfect product has always been tricky. Most anti-frizz products leave my hair feeling oily or weighed down. I’m sure you’ve found the same thing! Finding the perfect product that actually IS non-greasy is near impossible.

Well, I can now say that you have to look no further. This is some magical product that gives me perfectly healthy, shiny hair, without the frizz!

The secret to it’s featherweight texture is argan oil, which speeds up drying time by 40 percent, and helps water evaporate faster!

What it is

  • A wet styling treatment with sea botanicals, ultra-light argan oil and sweet almond oil to smooth, silken and add brilliant shine
  • Infused with a unique blend of sea kale, sea fennel and sea beet extract to restore moisture, protect hair and soothe the scalp

Why you should use it

  • To smooth, silken and add brilliant shine
  • Accelerates drying time, seals in haircolor results and protects against thermal damage
  • Crystal-clear formula, unlike other styling products, contains no artificial dyes that can alter haircolor tones
  • Treatment improves the condition of the hair with continued use

When to use it

  • Apply to shampooed, towel-dried hair. Comb through for even product distribution

Wow much to use

  • Use enough product to achieve an even amount of silkiness and smoothness from roots to ends
  • Begin with one or two pumps depending on hair length and density and add more as needed.
