Pretty Palettes
These palettes packed with Autumn colors will ensure your makeup selection is a snap. The best part? Your entire collection of Fall color is completely portable.
The Radiant in Rio Palette by Bella Il Fiore features rich purple and gray shadows, a tawny blush, and berry-toned glosses. Two brushes are included to make this palette an all-inclusive feast of Fall cosmetics. This palette retails for $22 at Bella Beauty or Henri Bendel. |
Jelly Pong Pong manufactures one clever product after another. This slender Shoe-Themed Palette named "Vertigo Stiletto" contains one bronze cream eyeshadow/cheek color and one shimmering clear gloss to ensure any taxi-cab makeovers this Fall are a snap. The mirror is a generous size, to boot (ok-cheesy pun, I admit)! The Jelly Pong Pong Shoe Palette retails for £10 or $18 at Jelly Pong Pong. |
The arsenal of shadows called the "Deluxe Shadow Box" by Urban Decay appeals to the jewelry addict in me with its vibrant jewel tones. Packed with nine pigment-rich shadows, the biker-chic metal mesh cover of this velvety plum palette is unmistakably Urban Decay tough. This palette retails for $36 at Urban Decay online and Sephora, and comes complete with a trial-size of primer potion! |
I love the organic feel of the Stila Fall Fantasy Palettes. Wrapped in Agate-adorned twine, each palette contains three shadows and a blush. My personal favorite is Madagascar, a collection of rich browns with a hint of a metallic glint. The rose-gold blush is universally flattering. Stila Fall Fantasy makeup palettes retail for $32 at Sephora. |
Credit-card sized and thin enough to be hidden undetected in a back pocket, wristlet or clutch. The Smashbox Cream Eye Liner Palette contains every liner shade you’ll need this Fall and Winter, and a few you’ve never thought of! This incredibly versatile palette retails for $32 at Sephora. Don’t forget to snag yourself a liner brush before you check out! |
Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion
Late in the evening, a PR professional at Skin MD Natural reads through the Raging Rouge Beauty Blog, catching up on the latest beauty product reviews. Upon reading the umpteenth complaint about my dry skin, he becomes enraged! His anger is so intense, he beats his computer with his keyboard… finally pushing the monitor off of his desk. In fact, a surveillance camera in the offices of 21st Century Formulations–the makers of Skin MD Natural product–caught the entire event, and someone from their security department posted the clip on You Tube. Click HERE to check it out. What the security cameras didn’t catch is the poor man screaming "Will someone PLEASE send this woman some of our product? I am so SICK of reading about her #$%$&@ dry skin!"
Maybe that isn’t exactly how it went down… but I did receive a sample of Skin MD Natural’s Shielding Lotion nonetheless. This product is designed to act as a barrier to chemical irritants, while locking moisture deep within the layers of the dermis. My poor, parched calves were the perfect canvas upon which to test their claims: that this product has the ability to not only moisturize the skin superficially, but to cure the dry skin itself.
I was impressed that a small amount of product was able to cover a large expanse of skin. A nickel-sized amount of lotion was more than enough to cover each calf. The Shielding Lotion absorbed quickly, and immediately improved the appearance of the skin. 21st Century Formulations recommends that you initially use the product every 2-8 hours, depending on the severity of your dry skin. I must admit, I never applied it that frequently. I’m way too busy for that type of dedication, but after using the product twice a day for a short period of time, my dry, flaky skin looks… normal! Can it be? Best of all, if I forget to apply the lotion now and then, my skin does not immediately revert back to its dry state. I love this moisturizer.
The Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion formulation is hypoallergenic, fragrance and colorant free, paraben free and non-comedogenic. No animal products are used, and no animals are tested. This formula is the culmination of 5 years of R&D! If the scientists at Skin MD Natural could develop a super-fast bruise healing lotion–to eliminate the telltale signs of frantically chasing a toddler up perilously high play-structures–perhaps I could actually show off my gams now and then.
A 4 oz. bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion can be purchased for $25 at their site, or at a retailer near you. Shipping is free if you buy two… so think about stocking up on one for the bathroom and one to keep by the sink. Want a sample before you commit? Order a trial quantity for the cost of shipping alone.
