Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara

As a big fan of Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Mascara, I am positively giddy to learn that there's a new member of the Lancôme mascara family. It's called Hypnôse Doll Lashes and its mission is to deliver doll-like lashes, instantly.

This eye-opening new mascara, which was seven years in the making, delivers this doll-lash effect in two ways. First, the cone shaped, triple patented I-conic brush provides an extremely smooth application and defines even the hard-to-reach corner and lower lashes. The bristles offer ultimate separation, making it easy to layer without any clumping. The glide-on formula is enriched with nylon powders that meticulously sculpt and curl each lash for a voluminous, jet-black finish. A combination of hard and soft waxes volumize and curl while shaping polymers lengthen. The result is an instant wide-eye look.

Three of the glamorous faces of Lancôme - Daria Werbowy, Elettra Wiedemann and Arlenis Sosa - will launch the Hypnôse Doll Lashes campaign. Hypnôse Doll Lashes is now available exclusively at Dillard's and Dillards.com and will roll-out nationally in September.

Twilight Lip Venom Available NOW at Sephora.com!

Pucker up to just-bitten lips with Twilight Beauty and DuWop’s co-branded Twilight Venom!

As the first product to be launched in Twilight Beauty’s new Luna Twilight cosmetic line, this concoction is a two-phase moisturizing lip stain that features a venom-laced lip conditioner on top and an intense shimmering crimson stain on bottom. These two elements can be used separately but work best when shaken together to blend. Control the color by using a little stain for a light lip flush or dab a drop of pure dark red for the full vampire effect.

“We are very excited to partner the best-selling technology behind the Venom products with the Twilight saga,” says Cristina Bartolucci, founder and Creative Director of DuWop. “In the movie, venom is the means by which Stephanie Meyer’s mortals become transformed into vampires. With a customizable ruby stain, Twilight Venom can let you play the part!”

Key ingredients such as argan oil, avocado oil, olive oil and Vitamin E leave lips looking and feeling lusciously soft. Argan oil is exceptionally rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids and is noted for its anti-aging effects. Both avocado and olive oils have regenerative and moisturizing properties to make lips supple. DuWop’s special venom blend of essential oils, including cinnamon, wintergreen and ginger, increase circulation and cause blood to rush to the surface of the lips, plumping them slightly.

Timed with the release of the latest installment of the Twilight series from Summit Entertainment, New Moon, Twilight Venom ($16) will be available September 15, 2009 at Dillards.com, Nordstrom.com, and TwilightBeauty.com. It is available NOW at sephora.com.

Twilight Beauty Product Photos

As previously reported, Twilight Beauty, a new cosmetics brand themed after the series of films, will launch two lines debuting this Fall: Luna Twilight and Volturi Twilight. The two lines will be available in conjunction with the release of the second film, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which arrives in theaters on November 20, 2009.

Luna Twilight reflects the mood and spirit of the saga’s iconic female characters, presenting a collection that creates a harmonious blend between soft, natural beauty and stunning, fierce splendor. Notable products from the Luna Twilight line include First Light Body and Face Glow for radiant illumination and Gleam Metallic Mascara for captivating lashes.

The crowning jewels of the Luna Twilight collection are found in the four Color Palettes ($28), designed to reflect the mood and spirit of the iconic female characters from the Twilight saga, bringing together a harmonious collection for lips, cheeks and eyes. Apply each lip and eye color separately or layer them both for a dimensional effect. Powder blush should be applied just behind the apples of the cheeks and blended along the cheekbone.

Bella: Soft and Subtle with nude shadows, warm nude blush, nude lipstick and the sheerest cherry red gloss

Alice: Eclectic and Spunky with shimmering blue and silver shadows, rosy blush and sheer hot pink lips

Rosalie: Regal and Refined with peach toned shadows, a coral blush and apricot lipsticks and gloss

Victoria: Bold and Fiery with shimmering jewel-toned shadows and deep wine colored lipstick and gloss

Volturi Twilight offers entry into Twilight’s exclusive coven through use of the Volturi family crest as the brand’s logo. The line features Foreshadow Primer, an ultra-sheer eye base that provides the ultimate prep for a smoother, crease-proof eye shadow application that is coupled with loose glitter dust, called Labrynth Shadows. The highly pigmented loose powder shadows and the lid primer are housed in stackable pots, providing the ability to mix and match the colors to create personal, one-of-a-kind eye shadow favorites. Other standouts include Deity Body Lotion, Immortal Body Shimmer and Crown Mascara.

Give Me Fever: Scrunch Collar Cardigan

Spoiled Pretty readers, meet my new favorite sweater - the Scrunch Collar Cardigan by Fever.

I bought mine last weekend at Macy's...the petite version was on sale for $19.99. I picked one up in gray and I am very tempted to go back and buy another (or a couple more) in different colors.

I've worn the cardigan twice this week and received a ton of compliments.

Fever's Scrunch Collar Cardigan is also sold at Dillard's, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale's.

Clinique Gets Even Better

New from Clinique is a skin care product that promises to create brightness and clarity for all ethnicities.

Even Better Skin Tone Corrector is a lightweight serum that creates a notably more even complexion by helping to undo the visible evidence of sun damage, dark patches, skin stresses, age spots, even the darkening that follows acne scarring. It supposedly even helps to prevent new dark spots from forming.

Developed specifically to address all skin tones, it can be used anywhere on the face, hands, and chest - and results can be seen in 4 to 6 weeks.

Available at Sephora, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, Dillard's, and Neiman Marcus.
