Lancôme L'Absolu Crème De Brillance

Lancome made my day with L'Absolu Creme De Brillance. It's a cross between a gloss and a balm, goes on smooth and is super hydrating. The secret ingredients are:
*Shine boosting oils and light diffusing pearls that provides a rich color
*Pro-Xylane boosts hydration within the skin
*Glycerin and hyaluronic acid hydrate lips by pulling water from the environment and help it stay put

I was fortunate to try this in Blush Classique. The color is super rich and makes my lips look fuller. The sponge applicator is my favorite, you don't have to worry about individual bristles separating and becoming messy.

Looking for your next gloss splurge? I would put this one in the hat.

For summer 2010, boogie down with new disco-inspired nail polishes in the High Steppin’ collection from Shades by Barielle. Six metallic hues and Barielle’s signature healthy “3-free” formulation make hands and feet dance with style.

Mother's Day Sales & Gift Ideas Part 3

C.O. Bigelow Candle Fragrances ($19.50): Give mom a taste of summer this Mother’s Day with C.O. Bigelow’s fruit scented candles. In lush, juicy Peach and ripe Pear scents, the candles are an indulgent way to perk up any atmosphere.
Provide Mom with some pampering with ONE Hand & Body Lotion and lip balms from Target or www.target.com (I absolutely love that Target carries new, affordable, quality items in their beauty department).

These would be fun to include in a purse or makeup bag as a gift. Housed in a recyclable tube, the eco-chic hand and body lotion pampers skin while preserving the planet. I've been fortunate to try out the Lip Tune Up and Shea my Lips and absolutely love them too. These little tins pack a lot of moisture and leave lips moisturized, perfect as a base before applying lipstick.

Pamper your Mom this Mother's Day! The Branche charmeuse pillow case is woven with mulberry silk extends blow outs and helps to avoid wrinkling hair and skin overnight. This is a gift that keeps on giving!
