First Aid Beauty to Debut on QVC®

I've written a review for First Aid Beauty before, raving about how well it worked with my eczema. I recently tried the Ultra Repair Cream, and loved it. I felt an immediate difference in my skin versus when I use a regular, drugstore brand lotion. The moisturizing effects lasted all day and my skin didn't feel dry at night. It goes on pretty thick (thicker than Aveeno) but that's how I like my lotion to feel.


First Aid Beauty is pricier than drugstore brands, but is worth an investment if you are battling dry skin. Even a monthly dose of it could probably help get your skin through on track through the winter.

First Aid Beauty has announced that they are scheduled to debut on QVC Monday, February 22. FAB’s hero product, Ultra Repair Cream ($39.00/12oz), is scheduled to appear on QVC at 10am EST, with FAB Founder & CEO Lilli Gordon appearing on-air.

In addition to QVC and QVC.com, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream will be available through Sephora and Sephora.com, as well as on the brand’s website, www.firstaidbeauty.com.

NARS Face Charts


NARS Cosmetics created the makeup look at the 3.1 phillip lim AW2010 show.

INSPIRATION: Disco-punk. "This is a youthful, rebellious look that exudes a strong sense of confidence. Energy radiates within the girls through their makeup with eyes that have a bit of a rock and roll feel," said designer Phillip Lim whose inspiration stemmed from an image of Blondie’s Debbie Harry.

LOOK: “This look has many layers,” said NARS lead artist Lisa Butler. “The eyes are punchy and edgy while the skin was kept healthy and glowing. The lips are a soft, sheer pink for the elegant punk-rock princess style that Phillip was looking for.”
