Estée Lauder Launches Two NEW Skincare Products



Estée Lauder introduces two NEW skincare products!

Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Cremes and Lotion
Perfectionist [CP+] Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler





Estée Lauder’s Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Crèmes and Lotion immediately replenish dehydrated skin and infuse moisture that lasts 24 hours to keep skin quenched and glowing. Overtime, skin retains and sustains its own natural moisture for a younger, healthier look. Available in four formulas, there is now a hydration solution for everyone…

* Crème for Dry Skin
* Crème for Normal/Combination Skin
* Lotion for Normal/Combination Skin
* Crème for Normal/Combination Skin with SPF 15

Suggested Retail price for Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Crèmes and Lotion: $38.00 each.

Perfectionist [CP+] Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler

Estée Lauder research has found that environmental pollution, stress, even talking, frowning and laughing all cause an increase in the visible depth of lines and wrinkles and have created a innovative solution…

The Perfectionist [CP+] Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler is the newest addition to the Perfectionist skincare line. This tiny, pen-like tube holds a concentrated treatment that instantly reduces the look of smile lines, crows feet and deep creases around the forehead, brows, and eyes and dramatically blurs the appearance of lip lines to hold back lipstick feathering for up to 8 hours.

With continued use, skin becomes firmer, lines are blurred and deep wrinkles appear less noticeable for a younger and smoother look. The Perfectionist [CP+] Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler also features a unique precision-accurate applicator to provide gentle and controlled dispensing directly to your skin where you need it the most. And its convenient portable package is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups whenever and wherever you need it.

Ditch your Dermatologist, take a break from injections and fillers and test the new groundbreaking technology from Estée Lauder. Lines don’t lie – take the test: Apply to the deep lines and creases on the palm of your hand and watch as wrinkles disappear!

Usage: With precision-tip applicator, stroke the concentrated formula along your deepest wrinkles and gently pat with finger tips. Follow with moisturizer.

Suggested Retail Price for The Perfectionist [CP+] Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler : $39.50

Hydrationist Maximum Moisture Crèmes and Lotion, and the Perfectionist [CP+] Targeted Deep Wrinkle Filler are available at all Estée Lauder counters nationwide and www.esteelauder.com.

Joan Jett's Red Carpet Look @ The Runaways Premiere

Make up artist and MAKE UP FOR EVER ALLIANCE member James Vincent created Joan Jett’s sultry make up look for the New York premiere of “The Runaways”. True to her rock n’ roll roots, Joan rocked a classic yet modern smoky eye. According to James Vincent, who used MAKE UP FOR EVER products to get Joan’s red carpet look, “the perfect Joan Jett eye takes subtlety, persistence and an understanding of what’s sexy.” “The Runaways” opens today in select cities, and opens nationwide on April 9th. And, Joan’s new album, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Greatest Hits, came out last week. Below is a breakdown of how to get the look from James:




Complexion: James kept the skin glowing and gorgeous with Make Up For Ever HD Elixir to add moisture to and perfect the skin. He then applied a small amount of Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation #117, which provided a great canvas, as well as the new HD Invisible Cover Concealer for light, luminous, natural coverage, and a touch of HD Microfinish Powder to keep Joan looking polished all night.

Eyes: “The eyes are Joan’s most famous feature and she knows exactly what she wants to do to draw attention but still keep the look modern and fashionable,” says Vincent. Start with Make Up For Ever Eye Shadow #35 from brow to lash to create the perfect base.
Next, sweep Make Up For Ever Diamond Powder #11 gets across the brow bone for a beautiful highlight, and Make Up For Ever Eye Shadow #13 to bring depth to the crease. Use the same shadow to line the top and bottom lashes for soft diffusion of the liner, which gives depth and drama and keeps the hard-edged liner look smoky and sexy.
MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Eyes #0L is the perfect black pencil to apply inside the eye and along the top and bottom lash lines. Then, apply a bit of Aqua Eyes #2L to add a rich, brown warmth to the look and keep it from looking hard and typical. Smudge the pencil and set with MAKE UP FOR EVER Eye Shadow #139 for even more smokiness that works for every occasion. Lashes get extra attention with a liberal coating of MAKE UP FOR EVER Smoky Lash. And James says, “put the lash curler down and let the lashes stay straight and spiky for rock chick realness.”


Cheeks: Joan’s classic cheekbones are the type you wish you were born with, but can easily fake by contouring right below the bone from temple to apple with MAKE UP FOR EVER Eye Shadow #13. Keep blush natural by avoiding strong color. Just use a touch of Powder Blush #69 on the apple and Mat Bronze #2 at the highest point of the cheek bone give life and light to the makeup and balance off the strong eye.


Lips: MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Lip pencil #3C gives every girl the ability to keep their lips looking luscious without worrying about where it’s going to end up. A touch of MAKE UP FOR EVER Fascinating Lip Gloss #9 in the center of the mouth completes the look and lets everyone know you love rock n’ roll as much as Joan.
