Lancome’s Genifique: No Seriously, It Works from Felicia Sullivan on Vimeo.After a decade of research, which included the study of 4,400 genes and 1,300 proteins with the most relevance to skin, Lancôme Labs discovered that:•Gene activity slows with age: Young skin is brimming with healthy proteins, but the genes that help activate them slow down with age. Lancôme was able to prove that much like a vintage Mercedes that simply can’t run as fast as it used to, older skin doesn’t produce these gen

FOTD Bright lips Blue eye shadow
Saturday, March 28th, 2009
I was going for the look of the new Shiseido ad or the cover of Allure with Taylor Swift on it. Both feature bright red lips. For the sense of vibrancy, it reminded me of Anja’s look in a Theme Week at Aromaleigh. Shiseido’s ad is likely photo shopped to get such white skin. What a gorgeous picture! What a gorgeous woman! You can see the Allure cover, here . I used the lightest shade of makeup I have, which is too light for me, then used white liquid highlighter over much o

First alone: L’Oreal 630 Sea Fleur This is a really beautiful, dimensional fuchsia.

La Prairie cosmetics and color story
Friday, March 27th, 2009
La Prairie has many fine products. In many ways they are state of the art. They are also expensive . I use them frugally, if that makes sense. I use them where I need them, not my whole face, and I use them when I need a boost, a pick-me-up. I’m not convinced you need their cleansers or toners. Perhaps for certain skin problems. I do think their creams and lotions are exceptional. Occasionally they have travel sets for a reasonable price that allow you to try many of the products in

Sales Alert: Avon products I like
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
Here are some products I like. The link will go directly to the shop of the one who sells to me, but you can as easily buy from your own consultant, if you have one. Avon is not your mother’s company. They are innovative in color and in skin care. And moderate to inexpensive in price. Anew Clinical Peel Regularly $25 for $15. This is really a good product. It has good stats. I cut my circles in half — or used it, then let one of my kids use it. I notice a difference when I use it.

This might not be about shoes per se, but I have a little beauty-related journey I’d like for you readers to go on with me. I’ve always had an antagonistic relationship with mascara. I have the kind of lashes that are so short they’re almost microscopic. “Oh, you have lashes?” friends have been known to say when we’re putting on makeup and getting ready to go out. “I didn’t see them.” Thanks guys. Well, my lashes are not only short, but they also point inward toward my eyes, seemingly. The
