This Dior ‘Flower Blossom’ Compact is so pretty, we don’t want to use it.
With a delicate array of embossed spring flowers, a design inspired by Victoire de Castellane’s famous Dior jewelry collection, this pressed powder highlighting compact is the perfect way to add radiance to your look while patiently waiting for Spring.
The excitement of Bobbi Brown’s Pink Raspberry Glitter Lip Gloss has yet to wear off and we’re already swooning over the new Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color.
Available next month in 14 shades, this creamy lip product contains shea butter and plant-derived skin conditioners for long-lasting color that leaves lips soft and moisturized. We’re not crazy about the scent (kind of waxy) but the lasting shine and all-day color make this a Makeup Bag must-have. Our favorite shade is Uber Pink but the thirteen others are equally impressive:
Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color is available beginning February 2008 at Bobbi Brown counters nationwide and online at bobbibrowncosmetics.com.
While packing for our trip to Hawaii we filled a 26″ rolling suitcase to max capacity with beauty products. As our husband and children watched in disbelief, we reassuringly explained that the products were for Makeup Bag research and did they seriously think we would bring everything but the kitchen sink if it weren’t for work?
As it turned out, our father’s condition was worse than we thought leaving us with little time for product testing. We did, however, have time to wash our face every day with the new La Mer The Cleansing Foam which has quickly become our new best friend.
Unlike our favorite Shiseido Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam, the La Mer The Cleansing Foam is nearly scent-free and full of calming marine extracts.
The rich lather is full of sea algae fibers to boost the foaming action, and contains an exclusive combination of jade and pearl powders along with La Mer’s unique magnetized tourmaline and Deconstructed Waters to improve cleansing performance.
Just three days after receiving our sample, we noticed our skin looking visibly brighter and more refreshed.
The only downside to this amazing cleanser is the price: at $65 it’s more than twice the price of our Shiseido Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam. However, for brighter, clearer skin—we’re willing to forego a few soy lattes (okay, EIGHT of them) and spring for the best.
The springtime colors in this flower-embossed Laura Mercier Eye Colour Quad are soft and flattering with a hint of shimmer to make it feel special.
Available in Shy Violet and Wild Violet, the crease-resistant, long-wearing shadows are just what we need to update out Makeup Bag for spring.
