NEW in November! Borghese Perla Duale High Impact Lipcolour (review and sneak peak)

I love new stuff. This weekend I even went shopping and bought some new stuff (in a smaller size…yahoo).

Best of all, I also got to try some new beauty stuff. From Borghese.

Perla Duale High Impact Lipcolour (in “Perla Pesca”)

Blurb: Six fashion forward shades inspired by the runways of Milan. A creamy, long-lasting, dual purpose formula delivers rich, opaque color with a high pearl finish. Formulated with Vitamins A, E & C to condition lips and help provide anti-oxidant protection, and Chamomile and Aloe to soothe and smooth.

This line is launching in November, and I was really excited to get a sneak peak. The lipsticks combine two formulas. The richly pigmented inner core is surrounded by a softening balm with a pearly finish. The color I tried is gorgeous. “Perla Pesca” is a deep salmon with a lot of rich, pink tones. It’s very flattering and very wearable. The formula felt wonderful, and had excellent staying power.

What I loved most was the pearly effect created by the outer layer. Most things on the market are mattes, satins and shimmers; so a pearl shine felt really new and fresh. And now I'm smitten with the chic vibe of a pearly frost over a rich, sophisticated color. When I wanted more color, I used a lip brush to apply more of the pigmented center. I also loved wearing the outer “pearl” balm by itself – very cool.

I don’t have a product link for you yet (the line launches in November); but you may want to hang out at the website while you’re waiting (it’s only 2 weeks). Check out the Tuscan Sunset GWP, and visit the what's new section. When it’s time, you can also find Borghese at bloomingdales. In addition to Perla Pesca; there are 5 other shades: Perla Nudo, Perla Café, Perla Fiamma, Perla Vino, and Perla Rosa.

(ftc disclosure: sample/product received from manufacturer or representative)

Princess By Day: Borghese Body and Skincare (review and SAMPLE SALE)

Does anyone remember that Borghese used to be Princess Marcella Borghese? Does anyone know why I felt the need to point that out? Neither do I.

Okay, then.

For some reason I'm all kinds of perky today. After the back pain and head clunking that began my week; I suddenly feel all healed, rested up and ready to play. It could be the good night's sleep I had. Or that I have a fun dinner tonight. Whatever it is, I'm glad the "pep" is back. And I'm also glad I get to review the rest of the fab products from my Serenity Now Gift Set. If you didn't read my earlier review (really, you didn't?); I've been checking out this set, and thoroughly loving every single thing in it. This morning I gave myself the full-on princess treatment with…

Fango Active Mud for Face and Body

Blurb: Our exclusive mineral-enriched mud mask is sourced from Tuscany's volcanic hills. It energizes and nourishes skin cells on the face and body. Special absorbing action unclogs pores, eliminates dead skin cells and detoxifies impurities. Skin feels comfortably hydrated, firmer and invigorated. Italian Mud provides mineral nourishment and special absorbing action which rids skin of impurities. Acqua di Vita® Complex revitalizes skin, reducing the signs of aging. Geranium, Lavender and Peppermint Oils are natural botanicals that stimulate and improve skin tone. Avocado and Sweet Almond Oils moisturize and soften skin.

This is an amazing deep-cleansing mask, and it's great for oily/combination complexions! It draws out the impurities, and leaves you with clean, fresh glowing skin. Used as a body mask, it can be a little wet and messy; but you'll be amazed how invigorated and restored you feel afterwards.

CuraForte Moisture Intensifier

Blurb: A lightweight formula that intensifies and maximizes the skin's capacity to hold moisture by 200%. It softens and lifts dull surface cells allowing the benefits of moisturizers to penetrate easily and perform at their optimum. Surface fine lines and wrinkles decrease up to 70% within 11 days. Liquid Crystal Molecules combined with Acqua di Vita® Complex - Flood the skin with moisture, minimizing fine lines. Lavender and Geranium Oils - Stimulate, soothe and improve skin tone and clarity.

A fabulous, fabulous serum! It absorbs immediately (even has a nice fragrance). It's non-irritating, fresh feeling and very hydrating. I haven't been using it long enough to gauge the results over time; but it immediately smoothes, and softens the appearance of any lines. And there's a noticeable boost in moisture without any extra oiliness.

Cura Di Vita Protettivo Protective Moisturizer (SPF 15)

Blurb: A lightweight, protective hydrating lotion that provides UVA/UVB protection and insures skin's youthful suppleness. Our exclusive Filtrex sunscreen system offers optimum daily protection from UV light and environmental exposure. Vitamins C and E protect against free radical damage. Carob, Black Currant, Geranium, Rosewood, Cypress and Chamomile Oils are natural essential oils that combine to soothe, soften and protect skin. Acqua di Vita® Complex combines with humectants providing smoothing comfort for skin.

This is a wonderful moisturizer that works very well with the serum. It has SPF (yay), and a lovely, luxurious feel. Today the weather is very dry, and this moisturizer is hydrating very well without feeling heavy or greasy.

Splendide Mani Smoothing Hand Creme (SPF 8)

Blurb: Our smoothing hand-creme is a star performer that has attracted loyalty from both men and women for its enriching and moisturizing properties. Specifically formulated to alleviate chapping and dryness caused by sun exposure, windburn and other environmental aggressors, delivering the intensive hydration that dry hands need. Liquid Crystal Molecules are moisture attracting molecules that form a water-resistant shield to guard against moisture loss. Geranium, Rosewood, Cypress, Basil and Chamomile Oils soothe skin and leave it nourished. Acqua di Vita® Complex adds optimum hydration and helps protect hands from daily abuse as it restores depleted moisture.

Oh, just go out and get this! Your hands will be happy. You will be happy. If the weather in your area is at all dry, this is excellent, luxurious, soothing protection. It's rich, velvety soft and lasts (it even lasted through a hand washing). It has a nice fragrance as well as a bit of SPF. What's not to love?

I mentioned that this is from the Serenity Now Gift Set. Borghese kits are excellent values, and nice ways to treat yourself to a great selection of products. I've been eyeing the Rescue and Retreat and Simply Beautiful sets on the website. You can also check out Borghese at bloomingdales.

And now…

For you New Yorkers, there's an awesome SAMPLE SALE going on even as I type! Take a look at the announcement:

Serenity...Now Available In a Box: Borghese Serenity Now Gift Set (review and SALE announcement)

You heard me right. Serenity does not come from within. It comes in a gorgeous, delicious gift box from Borghese. Relieving your holiday stress is just that easy! Read about the kit (and then read about the sale information at the end of this post).

Serenity Now Gift Set

Blurb: Nothing helps you obtain “Serenity Now” more than the pampering of spa beauty care. Start your trip to Serenity with Borghese’s skin-perfecting products. From purifying and rejuvenating Fango Active Mud for Face and Body to deep-cleansing Bagno di Vita Gentle Foaming Gel for Bath and Shower and soothing Botanico Eye Compresses, these are the products that pamper skin perfectly, leaving it soft, sensual and silkened. CuraForte Moisture Intensifier, Cura di Vita Protettivo Protective Moisturizer SPF 15, Tono Body Creme and Splendide Mani Smoothing Hand Creme SPF 8 provide deep and intense moisture and protection for the face, body and hands. It’s a total spa experience that leaves you serene and relaxed.

To begin with, the kit is elegant, luxurious and super giftable/getable! It comes in a lovely box, it's well-packed, and the assortment of goodies is to die for! (And the soft, round sponge that came with the kit is a nice touch.) The set includes:

Botanico Eye Compresses
Bagno di Vita Gentle Foaming Gel for Bath and Shower
Sponge
Tono Body Creme
Fango Active Mud for Face and Body
CuraForte Moisture Intensifier
Cura di Vita Protettivo Protective Moisturizer
Splendide Mani Smoothing Hand Creme

There are so many items that I'm only going to review a couple of them right now. But I'll be talking about the others later because I loved them!

Botanico Eye Compresses

Blurb: Since our eyes are the first area to reflect the ravages of aging and fatigue, they need special attention. Our Botanico Eye Compresses provide a quick pick-me-up in five minutes. Smooth, cool and refresh the delicate eye area instantly. Dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested. Suitable for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes.

These compresses are soothing, refreshing and so relaxing to use. I love taking a couple of minutes in the morning to relax quietly with these on. I let the pads sit on my closed lids, then remove them and pat a little bit of the remaining moisturizer in.

Bagno di Vita Gentle Foaming Gel for Bath and Shower

Blurb: A fresh, revitalizing, foaming bath and shower gel. Gently frees deep-down impurities while moisturizing skin.

Oh my gosh! This is worth getting the whole kit for! There is nothing not to like about this Gel. As a shower gel, the texture is creamy and silky. It feels amazing and super pampering. I love the fragrance. I wish I could describe it better, but it's like an herbal-spa fragrance. It's clean and fresh without being perfumy. I also tried this as a bubble bath and got a whole tub full of fluffy bubbles. And a little bit goes a very long way, so you can be sure of many days of serenity.

Tono Body Crème

Blurb: An extra-rich treatment creme that locks in hydration with moisture intensifying molecules. The body is veiled in invisible moisture, which becomes obvious in both the appearance and texture of the skin. Firms and smoothes skin tone.

I loved this too! It also has a light and fresh "spa" fragrance; and the crème felt wonderfully smooth and comforting. It absorbed quickly, and my skin felt soft and supple.all day.

I can't say enough nice things about his kit (which is why I'm posting about it again later). It's a great value, and a great way to try out (or give) lots of great Borghese products. The website also has a couple of other really nice looking kits. Check out the Rescue and Retreat and Simply Beautiful sets. While you're there, you may also be interested in visiting the charities page. Borghese is also sold at various online sites and "live" at bloomingdales.

And…

Borghese will be having their One Day Sale on Wednesday December 16. For 24 hours, Borghese will be offering 30% off any web purchase to registered users only.

Random Wednesday Pretty Stuff

Today it seems like I've forgotten how to write, spell, type and/or use good grammar. (That whole first sentence took me forever).

So instead of subjecting you to my unfocused attempts at putting words together, I'll let you read some great news (coherently written) from the beauty world…

Diana B. on the Today Show
For all you friends and fans of Diana B. Beauty. The Today Show is featuring Diana B. 60 Second Instant Miracle Tan! Turn on your TV this coming Friday morning August 14th at 8:00 A.M. The segment is called: "How to Fake a Tan."


Essie Introduces the Fall Color Collection

This Season, Cuddle with Color - The Essie Fall 2009 Color Collection joins the award-winning lineup beginning September 2009 at www.essie.com and fine spas, salons and beauty destinations nationwide.

Optimism rocked the runways at the Fall shows. Plush knits and vibrant furs in juxtaposing lazy grays and shocking brights offered a feeling of exuberance and buoyancy. Inspired by that emotion, essie created an exceptional compilation of hues for the Fall Color Collection.

“At the shows, designers showed striking tailored pieces in muted fabrics that exploded with bright pops of color – that was really refreshing and exciting,” explains Essie Weingarten, Founder/President of essie. “I applaud that fresh color perspective and chose to incorporate that trend into our Fall Color Collection – the mix of deep hues and happy brights is like no other collection we’ve done before.”

The essie Fall Color Collection includes six unique, wearable shades that are the perfect accessories to Fall’s fur-trimmed bomber jackets, neon wool capes and classic crisp blouses with slouchy cardigans. It is a conglomeration of style that is both exhilarating and uplifting.

Essie's Fall 2009 Color Collection:

Chinchilly – Sleek granite gray
Angora Cardi – Deep dusty rose
Mink Muffs – Smoky plush taupe
Midnight Cami – Shimmering twilight blue
Bright Tights – Electric orange burst
Pink Parka – Piping hot pink

TIP FROM ESSIE WEINGARTEN: As the seasons change and the air is cooler, keep nails and cuticles moisturized with essie Apricot Cuticle Oil. Keep it by your bed and massage into cuticles every night.

Notes from Nancy

Hey all, I know I've mentioned my friend Nancy more than a few times here. She's the one that got me started down the road to beauty junkie-dom. She's been an expert on makeup and skincare a lot longer than I have so I pay attention when she likes something. I'm sharing a note she sent me the other day with some "musings." (I added images and links for extra pizzazz.) Nancy, this is exactly why you need to start a blog!

I just bought my Estee Lauder lash primer yesterday at Boscovs (that's all I bought). I also pulled out of my stash my Vincent Longo Water canvas. Gosh both of these products are so wonderful.

I had been using a dried up lash primer and this new one with my
Lancome mascara makes my lashes look really fabulous.

The water canvas is such a great Summer makeup. I love his
dew finish foundation, but my skin is too oily to use it except when it is cold out.

I told you that I found the
scrub at TJ Maxx for $19.99. I really like it. Also, I found this Borghese mask which is a peel off rubbery clay mask and comes in little tubes for really cheap. It's probably like $50 bucks at Bloomies. It is amazing, clarifying, cleaning - yet leaves the skin moist and glowing with the Italian Living Water.

Well enough musing. I hope that your holiday was great.
