Lancôme and Macy’s Glamorama: Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl, Gloss in Love and Teint Visionnaire

Lancome Gloss in Love

Tonight I had a very special sneak preview into the behind-the-scenes preparations for Macy’s Glamorama 2013.  A big part of the show is the makeup looks specially designed by Lancôme National Makeup Artist, Alex Sanchez.  I had the opportunity to get the inside scoop on some of Lancôme’s newest products, which will be used to transform the models.

Lancôme Teint Visionnaire Skin Correcting Makeup Duo – This amazing foundation corrects dark spots, pores and fine lines.  The larger part of the bottle you see is the Skin Correcting Foundation, which naturally evens out the complexion flawlessly and visibly improves pores and fine lines day after day.  Then you flip up the little cap to reveal the Precision Spot Corrector, which visibly corrects spots, dark circles and all types of imperfections.

Lancôme Génifique Eye Light-Pearl Eye-Illuminating Youth Activating Concentrate – I had a chance to try the first eye-illuminating serum from Lancome. It transforms the eye area to be more luminous, smoother and reduce bags. It feels quite amazing going on. The cool smooth applicator offers a relaxing mini-massage experience and I felt like my eye area was slowly staring a transformation – let’s hope!  Per the product info, “After 4 weeks of use, results show 78% of women thought that the eye contour was visibly removed.”

The dark light of our photo, doesn’t do it justice, but my friend Kelly of MuddyFlowers.com and I had a chance to model the new Lancôme Gloss in Love Collection. It comes in a super-cool click-to-open tube and you can choose from 12 fresh new colors.  The unique shape of the applicator hugs your lips, make it as easy to apply as it is to wear.

You still have a chance to buy your tickets for the big event Friday night.  It is a fabulous event and the after-party is the can’t miss event of the Minneapolis social scene.

Beauty Trends for Spring 2013 from the Macy’s Shop Like a Star Event

spring-beauty-trends-2013The Macy’s Shop Like a Star Event at Macy’s Southdale in Edina, Minnesota, this weekend offered insight into Spring Beauty Trends from manager Michelle Squires. The fashion show featured “real life” models portraying the latest shoes and accessories for Spring AND the final accessory – – cosmetics. Here is what is HOT right now.

Power Serums
A concentrated treatment used after cleansing before moisturizing. Power Serums address many different beauty concerns from redness, dark spots, fine lines, uneven skin tone and the brightness of your skin.

BB Cream/CC Creams
These abbreviations stand for “Beauty Benefit” and “Color and Correct”. This is a brand new category similar to a tinted moisturizer but with added benefits. They are very light weight – perfect for those on the go who like a natural look and feel. They have sunscreen protection as well.

Color
This season is about new ways of using color for all ages. Pink, aqua blues and greens are the colors of the moment, taking you back to the 1980s. Some of the spring color trends are:

  • Eyes: A hint of aqua blue or pink shadow swept across the lid and eyes lined with green or blue on the lower lid. This can really make the eyes pop!
  • Cheeks: Sun kissed coral or soft pinks.
  • Lips: Many shades of coral and hot pink are also in style.

…. and don’t forget to finish the look with your favorite mascara. Mascaras have become very advanced over the years they can lengthen, thicken, curl, separate and definitely complete the look.

This spring, cosmetic lines took full advantage of the trend and have some amazing color stories on counters. Try something new today and have fun with color.
