Posted by Kori Ellis in Beauty on April 20th, 2009
Dolce & Gabbana The Make Up debuted at Milan Fashion Week and since then women around the world have be clamoring to get products from the new collection. One of the highly coveted cosmetics is the “Dahlia” color of their Classic Cream Lipstick. This red shade was featured on the Fall/Winter 2010 runway and was a big hit.
Dolce & Gabbana The Makeup
Dolce & Gabbana The Make Up is a multimillion dollar collaboration between the company and Procter & Gamble. The collection is set to release in the United States on April 24, 2009. It is Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s first makeup collection after 20 years in fashion. They worked with renowned makeup artist, Pat McGrath to infuse inspirations from their runway looks into the makeup line.
The cosmetics are flirty, feminine and sensual. Dahlia is one of 27 shades of the Classic Cream Lipstick.
Dolce & Gabbana The Make Up will launch exclusively in the U.S. at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City, and will release at Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills and Saks.com by mid-May. If you are interested in the Dahlia lipstick, there’s a wait list. Yes, a wait list.
Nearly a month before the official launch a waiting list began at Saks Fifth Avenue for the coveted color.
What do you think? Have you wanted a lipstick (or any other makeup) enough that you put your name on a wait list?
Beauty Product of the Week: Perricone MD Firming Neck Therapy
Posted by Kori Ellis in Beauty on December 5th, 2008
One of the things I hate the most is when I see a woman with a beautiful tight face and a turkey neck. It’s usually women who have had too much plastic surgery and just forget that everyone can see their saggy neck wrinkles. But it does bring up a point - many women spend a lot of time (and money) preserving their face and neglect the skin on their neck.
Recently, I had the opportunity to try Perricone MD Firming Neck Therapy. This product is specifically designed for your neck. It fights premature wrinkles, smoothing and toning the appearance of your neck.
This fragrance-free cream is soothing and calming. I loved it because it wasn’t greasy at all, like some heavy face creams. It absorbed easily without much residue. Though I don’t have any turkey wrinkles yet, it did really help the appearance and texture of the skin on my neck. After a few days, it was noticeable smoother to the touch.
I used it nightly for a week, rubbing it in a circular motion on the neck (the massage is good for the circulation and skin too!). I also noticed that it’s great for the hands!
You can order the 1.7 oz jar Perricone MD Firming Neck Therapy on it’s own for $95 fromo Perricone MD directly, or various other retailers. But my suggestion is to go to Beauty Fix, where you can get it as part of the current package. With Beauty Fix, you get 8 fabulous products, plus a bonus product for only $50. Retail value is over $400! Check out Beauty Fix and sign up for your quarterly subscription.
