Everyone loves a beauty secret.

Givenchy Fall 2007 Collection has a secret or two, inspired by the eternally gorgeous Audrey Hepburn, in the form of a hidden message inscribed into their compacts this season.

Shade 54 Cache-Cache (limited edition)

Prismissime Eyes , a 9-color eyeshadow collection, cleverly holds an array of camouflage inspired colors along with Audrey Hepburn’s personal philosophy engraved on the mirror: Style for Life.

Shade 10 Secret Rose (limited edition)

Prisme Again! Secret Blush, a powder blush quartet, beautifully displays the Givenchy 4G logo on the squares of fuschia, peach, mauve, and yellow powder blush designed to light up the face with a natural glow. This exclusive quartet offers more words of wisdom from Audrey Hepburn engraved on the mirror: Laugh Often.

Balancing out the bold eyes of the Prismissime Eye palette are two nude hues of Rouge Interdit, Givenchy’s star lipstick, in 25 Rose Caprice and 26 Voluptuous Nude.

New to the Givenchy makeup brand this season is Prisme Foundation, a palette of complementary powder foundation colors to create a flawless finish for every complexion. Swirled together, the four colors blend all over the face to camouflage flaws and enhance features. Individual hues can also be used to highlight and contour.

Prisme Foundation Shaping Powder Makeup is available in 7 versatile shades:

• Shaping Ivory-1
• Shaping Rose-2
• Shaping Beige-3
• Shaping Amber-4
• Shaping Honey-5
• Shaping Brown-6
• Shaping Copper-7

Givenchy Fall 2007 Collection is available beginning August 2007 at select Saks Fifth Avenue and Sephora stores.

We can always count on MAC to deliver us some gorgeous, creative, eye feast when it comes to their ads and this image for their new Sunstrip collection is no exception.

Those clever clever MAC people had us going “Is that…no..is it?” as we swooped in for a closer look at the model. Genius, no?

With Sunstrip, we can expect a new hydrating mist called Charged Water. In three formulas of water and natural minerals, these hydrating mists are applied before foundation and promise to energize and revitalize the skin.

Sunstrip is offering:

Charged Water

• Revitalizing Energy (Crystal clear)
• Renewal Defense (Peach)
• Youth Aura (Aqua)

Bronzing Powder

• Bronze (Muted bronzed-brown with golden shimmer)
• Refined Golden (Muted golden tan-beige with golden shimmer)

Studio Mist Foundation

• Summer (Rich caramel bronze)
• Sun Rays (Peachy bronze with golden nuances)

Sunstrip will be available beginning May 31st at MAC locations nationwide.

Over the last several weeks we have tested an array of foundation and tinted moisturizers trying to find the perfect blend of SPF, moisture, and light coverage without looking oily.

Our skin is particularly ornery, as we’re dry around the nose and mouth, yet oily in the t-zone. This makes it difficult to find one suited for our (demanding) needs.

Enter Prescriptives’ Virtually Fresh Skin Refining Makeup SPF 15.

This new lightweight formula seems to melt into our skin, giving the appearance of an even skin tone while allowing our freckles to show through. And the oil-free formula has a unique blend of ingredients- including Saw Palmetto, Willow Bark and Vitamin C- to help keep excess oil at bay and keep our skin looking fresh and balanced.

With a complete range of 18 color-true shades, we highly recommend Virtually Fresh Skin Refining Makeup SPF 15 for anyone who needs an oil-reducing, moisturizing, natural-looking finish with sun protection. Whew!

Prescriptives Virtually Fresh Skin Refining Makeup SPF 15 is available this month at Prescriptives counters nationwide and prescriptives.com.

Have we ever told you how crazy our life is? (You just might faint if you saw the amount of laundry we battle each day).

Crazy schedules leave little time for primping in the morning, which is why we’re so very excited about DayWear Plus Multi Protection Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 by Estée Lauder. This incredible moisturizer offers a potent antioxidant cocktail, intensive hydrators, UVA/UVB sunscreen and a sheer veil of pigment to even out our skin tone.

Last weekend we applied this in the morning and went about our busy day preparing snacks for our daughter’s team and watching game after game of volleyball. Seven hours later, we caught a glimpse of our reflection and our skin still looked great. Without even a touch-up!

With hyaluronic acid and an exclusive blend of lipids to help lock in moisture, anti-oxidants to protect skin against environmental stresses, and full spectrum sunscreen, you can’t go wrong with this product.

Comprehensive protection and bright, radiant skin. ALL IN ONE STEP!

DayWear Plus Multi Protection Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 will be available at esteelauder.com and Estée Lauder counters nationwide in April 2007.
