BECCA Cosmetics Beauty Offer Online at Beautyhabit! But You Gotta Hurry ...

Natural. Beautiful. Flawless. That's what we've come to know and love about BECCA Cosmetics.

Rebecca Morrice Williams, founder of BECCA, started her career as a make-up artist in Perth, Western Australia. Frustrated by her own inability to find the 'perfect foundation' that would look natural, conceal blemishes, feel weightless on the skin and stay fresh all day she set out to create it herself. The result is the ultimate range of skin-perfecting products that make it possible for ALL women to experience the pleasure of a flawless and radiant complexion.

Through her passion and persistence, Rebecca has developed a range of cosmetics that has delighted the most demanding make-up artists of the world, excited the most respected beauty editors and met the needs of the busy modern woman. BECCA's Luminous Skin Colour Foundation was the first product I tried from the brand, and I fell in love instantly.  For the first time I could actually wear a number of the shades in the offerings, rather than just one of a brand's shade options or try to make a color work for my skin. Even better, the texture and formulation of the foundation is beautiful.

Enabling ALL women, regardless of age or ethnicity, to achieve a natural looking, flawless complexion is the bedrock of the BECCA philosophy.  What I love best about this brand is that her products are user-friendly and multitasking.  Lip products can be used to create a perfect flushed cheek, cheek products create a softened, natural pout, foundations as concealers, it goes on and on.
 
Where better than niche Beautyhabit to find and purchase your BECCA Cosmetics favorites (or find a new love you've not tried before)?  Just perusing the pages online at Beautyhabit makes it a unique and altogether pleasurable shopping experience.  And through TODAY (or when products run out), you can score a complimentary BECCA Jewel Dust Shimmering Eye Powder in Laila ($24 value) with your BECCA purchase of $75 or more; use code: BECCA at checkout.  It ends today, 4/10/10, so be quick.

REVIEW: La Mer The Regenerating Serum + Free Sample Offer

Oh how I've been waiting for a fabulous new product offering from La Mer, and here it is!

Introducing La Mer The Regenerating Serum

A skincare powerhouse that diminishes the appearance of lines, wrinkles and pores, infusing skin with the look of youth. Current scientific studies suggest that lines and wrinkles are "micro-scars" to skin's underlying support network. Their formation is thought to be triggered by chronic inflammation caused by a variety of internal and extrneral stressors such as UV sunlight and free radicals. These inflammatory stressoprs can lead to the destruction of collagen, which in turn provokes premature skin aging.

Inspired by these findings, The Max Huber Research Labs have created The Regenerating Serum, La Mer's new anti-aging powerhouse. Four years and hundreds of hours of lab work in the making, this ultra-luxe elixir is the result of the combined effort of physicists, marine botanists and biologists around the world. Not only does it contain a high concentration of La Mer's proprietary Miracle Broth, but it also includes the new Regenerating Ferment, derived from marine plant stem cells. The Regenerating Ferment helps skin trigger its natural production of collagen, elastin and other "youth proteins", harnessing the power of the skin's ability to renew its appearance. 

Powerful Anti-Aging Ingredients

• Miracle Broth: The original fermented elixir known for its healing properties developed by Dr. Max Huber 
• The Regerating Ferment: A new bio-ferment containing potent marine plant stem cells, which assist in the skin's renewal, helping support its natural structure, restore its integrity and protect it from external aggressors. 
• The Marine Peptide Ferment: An anti-aging marine algae and peptide complex that helps firm the look of skin and boost its natural collagen production, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. 
• Colloidal Gold: A skincare super-conductor that effectively delivers skin smoothing, firming, and anti-irritant benefits to skin. 
• Lime Tea: A unique lime peel extraction, and one of Dr. Huber's original ingredients included in Creme de la Mer - a perfect antioxidant companion to the Miracle Broth.

This is a lightweight creamy serum that feels wonderful on the skin.  It is quickly absorbed and has assisted my uneven skin tone in appearing more even and renewed.  After two weeks use I can say my skin is healthier in appearance, more toned, feels firmer, and surprisingly brighter and more even in complexion.  I'm enjoying the refreshed, smooth feel of my skin after applying the serum each night.  The scent is very subtle, light and fresh in aroma.  I encourage anyone wanting to renew aging skin to give La Mer's The Regenerating Serum a try.  It retails for $250 in a 1 oz bottle, which I realize is a bit extravagant, but worth the luxury if you're able to at least sample it.  Available new this month at select saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman and at LaMer online.

Your chance to try this lovely serum is available right now through Bliss Spa, but only until 3/19/10 so hurry if you want to try it!  Receive a deluxe sample of the serum and complimentary shipping with any La Mer purchase online at Bliss.

Rock & Republic Beauty Blowout at HauteLook

Over the past 6 years, Rock & Republic has transcended the premium denim world to become a international lifestyle brand. Its luxe yet edgy approach to fashion is personified by CEO and Creative Director Michael Ball. Constantly redefining the boundaries in the fashion industry, Rock & Republic is at the forefront of design. In 2006, Rock & Republic expanded to include a phenomenally successful line of accessories consisting of footwear, handbags and eyewear. With the launch of Rock & Republic Cosmetics in 2008, the company adds yet another exciting piece to its high fashion portfolio taking jet-set clues from company President, Andrea Bernholtz.

Furthering the company as a true lifestyle brand, Rock & Republic is using its momentum in fashion to influence the worlds of sports and philanthropy.

In 2007, Michael Ball fulfilled one of his own personal lifetime ambitions by announcing Rock & Republic as the first fashion brand to create a professional cycling team, Rock Racing, which has already revolutionized the sport by putting a sexy edge into cycling. With this division of the brand growing at such speed, the future holds endless opportunities including Moto GP and Formula 1 Racing.

It is evident that with the launch of these new product categories Michael will not stop until he has achieved global domination; but he also desires global change. Rock the Cure, the company's groundbreaking philanthropic foundation, is the means to that end. The foundation encourages people to "make a difference, lead by example, and Rock the Cure" by donating 100% of the profits to charity. This year's recipient is the City of Hope whose mission is the research, education and treatment of life threatening diseases.

Every season, Rock & Republic captivates audiences with its fashion forward runway shows, legendary events and trailblazing ideas. Clearly the future ROCKS.

Quercetin - a new love of mine, and I own Korres' Quercetin & Oak Night Cream (included in the gifts below), so I speak from experience on this. One of my favorite purchases last year.

Vitamin E - a potent anti-oxidant, defends skin against free radical damage while also providing moisture

Ginseng Extract - visibly improves skin tone and actively firms by enhancing elasticity

Provitamin B5 - imparts long-lasting moisture to the skin

Phytic Acid - a natural skin lightener, helps illuminate sun damage and acne scarring

Evening Primrose Oil - rich in linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid, provides hydration and nourishes the delicate skin around the eyes

Vitamin K and Ruscus Extracts - work synergistically to increase blood microcirculation, quickly and visibly diminishing dark circles while also moisturizing the skin

Zinc Oxide - a natural sunscreen, prevents premature aging by providing sun protection

Shea Butter - enriches their Guava Body Butter to soften, moisturize & restructure the skin

Sunflower, Almond & Avocado Oils - in a A proprietary blend restores skin’s elasticity & smoothness

Quince Extract - acts as a soothing agent to heal and nourish stressed skin

There's so much more in these skincare treasures, but that's enough to get you salivating, or at least gives you some comfort and confidence that if you treat your skin to Korres you're giving it quality, natural products that will also yield fantastic results.
