Le Joli Crayon, Smudge & Set Soft Eye Liner:

Brigitte Bardot educated the world about the allure of eyeliner … and now Le Joli Crayon is here to teach you. Draw on the drama with this mistake-proof gel pencil that feels like a liquid liner, but allows you time to feather and smudge before it sets. Le Joli Crayon’s smart sponge blending tip wouldn’t dare tug or tear at your delicate eyelid. Rather, this budge-proof, smudge-proof and melt-proof liner is all about prevention and retention. Could this be the real French paradox? A pretty eyeliner that is so soft on your skin, yet strong enough to provide the intensity of a liquid liner in one simple stroke?

Rich in mineral pigments, anti-aging fruit extracts, and vitamin E, this super-conditioning, proprietary formula nourishes and hydrates the fragile eye area while treating it with healing free-radical fighters. Botanically harvested candelilla wax provides both an effortless glide and water-resistant layer that seals in the peeper pigment’s mineral-color blend. As easy to remove as it is to apply, this long-lasting, ophthalmologist-tested formula is the ultimate on-the-go liner.

I absolutely LOVE this eye liner. It glides on like a dream, seriously. It is beautiful, and it lasts forever. If I had a list of favorite eye-liners, this one would be on top. This really is an amazing product!!

Vu-On Rouge, Sheer Moisture Color Accent for Lips & Face!

Your skin takes center stage with a kick of color from Vu-On Rouge sheer moisture tint. Just a simple swish of this multi-tasking pop-up stick bestows a fetching and flirty flush to cheeks, lips, lids and facial contours.

Blended with hydrating shea and exotic antioxidant-rich mango seed butters, Vu’s ravishing rouge spreads smoothly over skin, creating a dewy luster and irresistible airbrushed finish. Without creasing or caking, this long-wearing plant-based pigment evokes renewed vitality to your visage and wouldn’t dare settle into fine lines. Skin-conditioning jojoba and castor seed oils step in for a finished formula that naturally flatters, stabilizes and protects.

Available in three shades to complement every complexion, Vu-On Rouge can be worn alone or over Love Me Deux tinted moisturizer. To set, dab on protective Belle Poudre for a look that wears long after the cabaret’s last dance.

I love that this is a two-in-one product! It looks great both on my lips and my cheeks! It goes on smoothly, and lasts forever! Beautiful color! PS: The color I tried is Bouquet Rose, GORGEOUS!

BEAUTÉ EN BRONZE – Bronzer Duo

Get your glow on sans soleil with Beauté en Bronze, our lustrous, skin-stabilizing bronzer for face and body. Behold two sun-kissed colors — a shimmer blush and matte bronzer — with which you may custom-create a resplendent French Riviera radiance while shielded safely from UVs in your villa.

Bask in this French kaolin clay-based powder that softly contours, highlights, and even pulls double duty as a natural eye shadow. Even better, our brilliant laboratory firmly baked these proprietary bathing beauties to stay firm in the pan and brush on for even, lightweight coverage. Whether the desire is to achieve a hint of naturally radiant color or a believable year-round glow, this gleaming duo naturally illuminates and rejuvenates skin without evoking an aged iridescent effect — just pure joie de vivre!

For every French Accents cosmetic purchased, Votre Vu donates $1 to the St. Baldrick’s Foundation in support of the 46 Mommas and their efforts to treat and cure pediatric cancers.

This is such a gorgeous bronzer, it is PERFECT for spring and summer! It makes my skin look like it’s absolutely glowing!! I love it!

How many of you ladies out there watch ‘Girls’? I have to admit I am obsessed with the show. I know it’s a bit out of my age range – the show definitely is for a different generation (girls born in the 90′s, not the 70′s, like me). But that doesn’t mean I enjoy it any less. One thing I will say with 100% certainty, is that I am SO HAPPY that I am NOT a single girl in NYC these days. It looks like hell, to me. Give me my sweats, suburbia, and a gorgeous husband that I love – any day!

Anyway, one of the girls of ‘Girls’ has just signed on with Simple Skincare. The gorgeous Allison Williams helps launch a new skincare line! “As a longtime fan of Simple skincare, I was so excited when they approached me about becoming their brand ambassador,” said Williams. “I love that their products keep my skin healthy-looking, without irritating it, because Simple is made for sensitive skin, like mine.”

I’m excited to share that one of Hollywood’s hottest new IT Girls, actress Allison Williams, is launching her first big beauty deal with Simple today!  Simple is a range of facial skincare products that are perfect even for sensitive skin, and Williams reveals her holistic approach to skincare – plus the new 2013 Simple products that she relies on.

Women can visit the Simple Skincare Facebook page to learn more about Simple, meet the Simple Advisory Board experts, and learn new health and lifestyle tips for caring for skin. They can also view a quirky yet clever webisode about Williams and her skincare journey.

“We are thrilled to partner with Allison Williams on this ad campaign, which highlights the brand’s skincare expertise as well as the new additions to our 2013 product line,” said Rob Candelino, Vice President, Brand Building, Unilever Skincare. “The new products, like all Simple products, contain our purest possible ingredients for natural, healthy looking skin.”

None of the Simple products contain dyes, artificial perfumes or harsh irritants that can upset skin. All Simple products are designed to gently and effectively address sensitive skin needs and are pH balanced, dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.

Williams made her first public appearance as the new face of the brand on February 6 at a New York City red carpet premiere for the documentary MAKERS: Women Who Make America, proudly presented by Simple, which will air on Tuesday, February 26 at 8 p.m. ET on PBS (check your local listings). The documentary shares the brand’s like-minded vision of celebrating women whose authenticity, ideals and pioneering spirit inspire others every day.
