MUFE Glossy Full Couleur

glossy full couleur brights mufe make up for ever gloss review Happy 25th Birthday, Make Up For Ever!

Yes, you read that right. This year, Make Up For Ever is turning 25 years young. To celebrate this incredible milestone, the Make Up For Ever team is sharing many beauty secrets with their devotees (like me), and introducing new products to keep us as hooked as ever.

A runway staple, Make Up For Ever’s original Glossy Full gloss is clear, and was used to achieve a high-gloss perfection that was almost mythical in appearance.

In March of 2009, Make Up For Ever improved upon the original by launching Glossy Full Couleur. A line of 10 different shades of gloss from red to nude, the new shades provide the same benefit as the original. This gloss fills in lip lines and makes lips appear seamless and perfect, simultaneously delivering a deep, saturated color that really pops.

Don’t be shy! I sampled the deep pink shade, #5 and it’s incredibly on-trend for Spring of ’09.

Retail price is $19 per tube. Click HERE to check it out at Make Up For Ever online, or Click HERE to buy from Sephora.com.

If one Glossy Full Couleur simply is not enough, a value set of three is available for only $35! What a steal! Click HERE to buy the Make Up For Ever Glossy Full Couleur Collection ($60 Value)

Canyon Ranch Your Transformation: Recovery Intensive Moisture Mask

At Winters end, my skin requires major damage control. Dry, flaky and utterly stressed– only the most intense moisturizers need apply for this job!

I wrote a while back about how Canyon Ranch–the ultimate spa retreat–introduced their own line of skin care. Well, Canyon Ranch has recently expanded their collection to include the Recovery Intensive Moisture Mask. This product is a must-have for those seeking to repair dehydrated, dry skin.

Apply to clean skin (you can even cover with a warm, wet towel to simulate the experience of a professional facial). Rinse after only 5 minutes! You'll notice instant moisturizing benefits, and coupled with your favorite night cream, this mask really speeds up the re-hydrating process.

But the long-term effects benefits are what will keep you coming back for more. Recovery Intensive Moisture Mask boasts:

1) A niacin-rich formula that strengthens skin and protects from future damage.

2) A proprietary blend of ceramides that help boost moisture retention and improve skin's smoothness.

3) An anti-oxidant cocktail that reduces free radical damage, evens skin tone and deters hyperpigmentation.

Introduced for a limited time (say it ain't so!), the retail price is $95.

MAC GrandDuos: Light Over Dark

MAC GrandDuos, Grand Duos, product review, Blush As someone eternally pale, I never would have selected the shade "Light Over Dark" for myself. Half bronze and half a marbled combination of golden highlights and warm undertones, this mineral blush appears to be ideal for those with darker skintones. In reality, it's a wonderful combination of color and highlight for most skin tones.

Easily swirled together for multi-dimensional color, each side of this duo can also be used stand-alone. I personally love to apply the deep brown shade to the apples of my cheeks, and highlight above the cheekbone with the warm golden highlight. It makes me look naturally tan.

This product can be used wet or dry, so get creative!

Retail price of MAC GrandDuos mineral blush is $22.50.
