Harnessing the power of high performance and skin-caring ingredients, Estée Lauder Research brings you
our most advanced and effective age-defying foundation to date. The New Resilience Lift Extreme
Radiant Lifting Makeup SPF15 offers all-day continuous moisture, ultra-radiance, incredible lift and
exceptional spreadibility – all in a new fluid formula that is ideal for maturing skin. This luxurious, flawless
liquid foundation keeps you ageless, gliding smoothly and effortlessly over skin, evening out the complexion
and leaving skin looking exceptionally hydrated and beautifully radiant all day!

I absolutely LOVE this foundation. I love how it moisturizes my skin – while looking flawless at the same time! It is absolutely wonderful!

As we age, our skin begins to lose firmness, elasticity and the ability to maintain moisture levels, becoming
drier and leading to an increased appearance of lines and wrinkles. Historically, it has been difficult to
address these aging factors in a foundation formula. However, the scientists at Estée Lauder’s research
labs recently discovered a new way to infuse higher levels of skincare actives into the foundation formula,
making it possible to create a high-performing foundation that not only spreads easily and envelopes the
skin, but also infuses skin with moisture and radiance, restoring skin’s younger look and function from the
moment it is applied.

Thanks to Estée Lauder’s advanced time-released hydration technology, Resilience Lift Extreme Radiant
Lifting Makeup SPF15 relieves dry skin immediately and provides skin with all-day moisture, ultra radiance
and incredible lift so skin looks supple and feels comfortable throughout the day. In addition, the new and
improved oil-in-water formula features a lighter texture that allows the formula to glide over skin effortlessly
and blend in seamlessly for an ultra-radiant finish that evens out and brightens the complexion and restores
lost luminosity. The result is skin that instantly looks more firm, lifted, moisturized and radiant – in a word,
flawless.

Available in 15 beautifully wearable, color-true shades that range from warm to neutral to cool, Resilience
Lift Extreme Radiant Lifting Makeup’s long wearing formula is buildable, providing skin with luxurious
medium to full coverage.

ALL-DAY MOISTURE
• This advanced, time-released formula delivers a surge of refreshing hydration to skin.

• Skin-loving ingredients, such as natural butters and ceramides, work together with the hyaluronic acid,
to help address the special needs of mid-life skin and deliver a continuous surge of the essential
hydration mature skin needs for all-day comfort and a perfect finish that lasts all day.

I was recently sent a couple Lush products to sample, and I was so excited! I went to college in Vancouver, BC – and that’s the only time I’ve been to a Lush store. I could hang out all day in that shop! Love the smells! These products below are so great, you’re gonna die! They smell so amazing, and so fragrant. I could smell them on my skin all day. LOVE THEM! I know you will too!

The Comforter $8.75

This pink and white swirly bar resembles a rolled up scarf, ready to wrap you in warmth and comfort. The fruity blackcurrant fragrance comes from cassis absolute; we love this delicious scent so much we put it in You Snap the Whip (our scrubby Body Butter), Sweetie Pie shower jelly and of course the Comforter solid perfume. Inhale it and it feels like you’re getting a big, yummy hug. This one is big enough to be broken in half for two baths

Natural Therapy Massage Bar $8.75

If you’ve never tried our massage bars before, we recommend you start with this one. It’s completely organic, from the shea and cocoa butter that warm up with the heat of massage and melt into your skin (to make for a smooth, moisturizing but not slippery massage) to the lavender, sweet orange and neroli oils meant to relax and uplift you. We recommend this one for rubbing onto pregnant bellies to soothe and moisturize. Try it out; you’ll never go back to those slippery massage oils again.

Up You Gets $3.95

If work forces you to wake up at uncivilized hours and you’re stumbling to the basin with your eyes closed, Up you Gets is exactly what you need. Lime, grapefruit and lemon slap your brain awake and uplift your spirits to make mornings more bearable (dare we say – enjoyable!?). Toss one of these into the shower and before you know it, your eyes will open wide and you’ll be showing up to work feeling bright and cheerful.

Singer and sometimes actress Jessica Simpson has paid the price of beauty, and now she’s examining people’s obsession with looking good.

She made headlines last year when photos of her performing suggested she might have gained a few pounds. That sparked a national debate on TV news channels, talk shows and in print asking if Simpson was, indeed, fat.

The 29-year-old has decided to turn the tables on questions about how she looked. The result is a new show called, “Jessica Simpson’s The Price of Beauty.” The show premiered Monday and will air weekly on VH1.

Simpson travels the globe with two friends, hair stylist Ken Paves and former assistant Cacee Cobb, to examine people’s efforts to measure up to their society’s standard of beauty.

The goal is to empower women to accept themselves and ultimately understand that no one, not even celebrities, are perfect.

Paves points out that despite the scrutiny on her weight, Simpson continued performing and doing her job.

“Imagine if the whole world is talking about you,” Paves said. “She still followed through, never stopped and nobody ever said, ‘That’s a strong girl, that’s a brave girl.’ I was disappointed.”

It wasn’t always easy, Simpson said.

“You can’t walk anywhere without thinking, ‘I wonder if they think I’m fat …. I wonder if they’ve read that story,” Simpson said. “I couldn’t help it. And I think that once I realized it wasn’t going to stop, I had to find a way to accept it, and I had to find a way to use it.”

On “Price of Beauty,” Simpson and her friends meet a woman in Thailand who burned herself permanently from bleaching her skin lighter. They talk with a former Paris model who starved herself to under 100 pounds to be thin.

Viewers witness a deeper side to Simpson than they saw on her former MTV reality show “Newlyweds” with then-husband Nick Lachey.

“I’m very vulnerable on the show. I’m very open. I don’t have anything to hide,” Simpson said. “I want people to know I am just a normal girl that faces normal issues just like everyone else.”

But the show is not all life lessons and sadness. There are lighter moments, too, when Simpson and her pals try to immerse themselves in local culture.

“In Mumbai, we drank cow urine because it detoxes you and it’s good for your skin,” Simpson said. “I puked that up like all over the place.”

Paves got a Brazilian wax when the three visited Brazil.

“I was screaming, cussing, kicking,” he said. “I was in tears, red and raw, I couldn’t walk.”

Simpson said she’s taking a break from music now to focus on the show, which she hopes will get picked up for another season. Next, she plans to start a foundation for girls to help with self-esteem.

She wants to empower young women to accept themselves and ultimately understand that no one, not even celebrities, are perfect.

“I don’t look like the girl on the cover of the magazine,” Simpson said. “I do not look like my covers. My covers! They airbrush me.”
