Giveaway Break - Whish Essentials Set

Looking for a stocking stuffer, teacher's gift or hostess gift? Do you have a traveler on your shopping list? The Whish Essential Set is the perfect gift for any woman on the go. It's a 3-pack of pomegranate body wash, shave cream and body butter. The reusable clear plastic case is just right for a purse or a carry-on when traveling, and the bottles are flight approved sizes.

What the set includes:

Pomegranate Three Whishes Body Wash - Contains powerful moisturizing alternative to the typical drying body wash, filled with organic and softening ingredients while avoiding hardsh and damaging sulfates.

I recently received a sample of Whish body wash in Pomegranate Three Whishes - loved it. I love the taste and smell of Pomegranates, and this is hand down the best pomegranate scented product I've tried.

Pomegranate Shave Crave - Shave Crave is a revolutionary formula that was created utilizing natural ingredients and essential oils that pamper, polish and perfect a woman's delicate skin. It is packaged in an airless pump that eliminates the need for harmful propellants like propane and butane and preservatives like parabens typically found in the can-of-foam products.

Pomegranate Three Whishes Body Butter - All natural body cream that moisturizes very dry skin without being greasy. It restores lost collagen and firms with its triple antioxidant power.

SIZE: (3) 1.2 ounce/35mL pumps.
WHAT THEY COST: $20.00 each

Whish Body Products provide an unparalleled treatment for the body. All Whish Products are Paraben free, Sulfate Free, TEA & DEA Free, and Petrochemical Free and are all natural. In addition, Whish uses organic ingredients whenever and wherever possible, to create a luxuriously indulgent and soothingly moisturizing experience. Whish Body Products are available at fine retails worldwide and at www.whishbody.com.

MAC Post Holiday 2010

M∙A∙C Post Holiday 2010 features nudes and warm, comfy colours in Warm & Cozy and All Ages, All Races, All Sexes and shimmery, icey winter shades in Love Lace. In the Studio debuts MAC Studio Fix Lash, a new mascara that features a synth-rubber moulded brush for ultimate definition, while M·A·C In Lillyland, a collaboration with Palm Beach’s Lilly Pulitzer, brings out the South Florida sun with brilliant colors.

M∙A∙C WARM & COZY

A fireside fantasy far from the maddening crowd is undeniably appealing. Seek refuge in the warmth, the glow of skin rosy with Refined Golden Mineralize Skinfinish, Shadesticks in Cuddle, Nurture and Snuggle shades, cozy as a mug of cocoa on a bearskin rug. Care Blends Essential Oils in Sweet Orange + Lavender, or Grapefruit + Chamomile feels soothing and sultry when elements are harsh and extreme…add M∙A∙C signature innovation with Mineralize All-Over Moisture Lotion, a new permanent product, and see new radiance, revivified lustre, optimum health. Like going on retreat and communing with nature, it’s an earthly way to bring back what the city takes away, and a sensual solution to make life simple, but luxurious. Winter beauty begins here.

Available December 26, 2009 through February at all M∙A∙C locations.

M∙A∙C LOVE LACE

This salon-intimate collection is all about a dramatic, intense, smoky eye, with shadows that flash frosty grey to deep blue. Kohl Power is brought back for a limited time in favourite shades plus a new blackened marine blue. And naturally, 44 Lash adds the depth and desire. Lips stay pleasingly pale and Nail Lacquer in Light Affair adds a hint of danger. If ever there was a moment to do away with the winter doldrums and add some instant intrigue, this is it.

Available December 26, 2009 through February at all M∙A∙C locations.

M∙A∙C IN THE STUDIO

Dramatic, daring Lashes have been a chic and urbane part of the modern Artist’s persona since Edie and friends made it all happen Downtown, on block-print canvas or grainy 16-millimetre film. Multi-media, counter-culture, the ultimate cool. In The Studio is the epitome of the look updated, featuring new Studio Fix Lash in Black Fix or Studio Brown, with the latest thermoplastic synth-rubber moulded brush, designed to kill clump as it separates lashes. Go for the bold stroke, as they do In The Studio.

Available December 26, 2009 in the permanent collection at all M∙A∙C locations.

M∙A∙C ALL AGES, ALL RACES, ALL SEXES

All Ages, All Races, All Sexes is our credo. Now M∙A∙C takes the “One World” idea further than ever, with a multi-culti colour story, intent on a universal focus – spectacularly shaded and shaped brows for all, because beautiful people come in colours! Miraculously matched to the individual, Impeccable Brow Pencil is the ultimate artist’s tool to fill, lengthen and shape, with a firm tip that sharpens application for high-performance precision. Penultimate Brow Marker, in one shade suits all, is a liquefied glide adept at the all-important arch. But that’s not all: Lipstick, Lipglass, Eye Shadow and Nail Lacquer shade extensions speak your language, a match for every international skin tone.

Available January 7, 2009 through March at all M∙A∙C locations.

M∙A∙C In Lillyland

When M·A·C meets the lore and legend that is Lilly Pulitzer, you get a fabulous and funky fun new chapter: a bit of Mar-a-Lago, some well-to-do winky-wink, and a dash of retro-modern pop culture mayhem in prints and colours that make it hip to be in permanent happy land! A collaboration that feels like the best tongue-in-chic resort retort, with all the wonderful prints and Key West colour combinations Lilly has done so beautifully since, well, forever! Fly down to South Florida, with M·A·C in Lillyland!

Available January 7, 2009 through February at all M∙A∙C locations.

Holiday Makeup Looks

Holiday make-up looks will be bold and defined! Marie Gaglioti, Expert Makeup artist and creator of Dieci Colori cosmetic line, says the hottest looks this year will be:

Red Lips- Stand out in any crowd with bold lips that will get you noticed. “Red lips are hot for the holiday season along with dark eye liner,” says Gaglioti. “Line your lips with a deep red liner and then smear the pencil color across your lips. Next apply a smooth red lipstick over your lips and pat a drop of clear gloss in the center to add volume and shine.”

Dieci Colori Lip Shaper Pencil in Red, $14

Dieci Colori Lip Satin VII, $20

Lip Polisher VIII, $18

Shimmer and Shine- “Holiday time is the perfect time to shimmer and shine like the gorgeous ornaments and decorations that adorn our lives,” says Gaglioti. “Create luminous skin first by starting with a vitamin enriched moisturizer and then apply a creamy shimmer stick to highlight your bone structure. Apply across your cheek bones and above your brows and a touch on your nose and chin. Add shimmering mineral eye shadow in silver, gold or bronze and polish your lips with the glossiest lip gloss in metallic shades or nudes and tans.”

Dieci Colori Cheek Polish I, $25

Dark and Smokey- The eyes are the window to your soul. This holiday season, bare your sexy self with a seductive, smokey eye. “Apply a dark shadow to your lids and soften the edges with a neutral shade, then fade to a hint of ivory as a highlighter under the brow,” instructs Gaglioti. “Use a dark cake-eyeliner or gel liner to enhance the eye shape, a lot of black mascara and then line under and in the eyes with black pencil.”

Dieci Colori Eye Smudge III, $16

Dieci Colori Eye Definer in Black, $18

Beautyzzz Natural Silk Pillowcase

Unlike cotton, the amino acids in silk proteins resemble those found in human skin, creating a virtually perfect pH balance that does not deplete hydrating moisture. Beautyzzz, “Beauty Obsessed Bedding”, offers an alternative to cotton— the Beautyzzz Natural Silk Pillowcase, designed to care for the natural condition of skin and hair, and make nighttime beauty routines more effective. Made of specially commissioned hypoallergenic silk, free of chemicals, pesticides and artificial colors, Beautyzzz Natural Silk Pillowcase has been developed to provide the following benefits:

• Inhibiting skin and hair hydration loss and improving moisture retention
• Promoting cell renewal and maintaining natural pH levels
• Enhancing absorption of beauty products to increase their efficacy
• Preserving the natural, crease-free contours of skin and smoothness of hair (helping prevent “bed head”)
• Providing unique dermatological benefits—medical studies of silk bedding demonstrate “the natural fiber’s soothing properties are ideal for sensitive skin” and the “antimicrobial benefits and skin-like composition make silk bedding optimal for [dermatitis and eczema] skin conditions.”
  

BEAUTYZZZ is available $47 at Studio Beauty Mix Fred Segal Santa Monica and Beautyzzz.com
