Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Reviva-Concentrate

Hey everyone!

Get ready all you skincare lovers, because Lancome has a new product coming out this April! Their new Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Reviva-Concentrateis going to be amazing!


Image


WHO IS IT FOR?

Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Reviva-Concentrate meets the needs of women seeking to refine, replump and revitalize the skin’s facial contours. They are seeking firmness and elasticity, the top two concerns immediately following wrinkles. Results apparent in just 1 week; 76% of women noted that their friends and family commented on their skin’s beauty.

INNOVATION TO REVITALIZE YOUR SKIN:

The bestselling Rénergie range has historically focused on the innovation around lifting and now, it’s combined with the science of revitalization. Two cutting-edge technologies fuel Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Reviva-Concentrate—the Multi-Tension technology, the core of the Rénergie range designed for skin tightening action, and the new Multi-Vital complex, a technology developed with the unprecedented combination of a biolipid and dipeptide pairing. Additionally, elastomer microparticles provide a soft focus effect that diminishes skin imperfections and signs of fatigue.

INNOVATION IN PACKAGING:

In keeping with Lancôme’s signature luxury skincare experience, the dispenser emerges with a turn of the pump with a more effective preservation of active ingredients. One press delivers the perfect amount of serum. A delicate floral and woody fragrance created around a subtle rose middle note completes the polysensorial journey.

GEL SERUM TEXTURE—A UNIQUE SENSORY EXPERIENCE:

A lifting serum that cocoons your skin, Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Reviva-Concentrate boasts a dual gel texture that is rich, enveloping and highly absorbent upon application, with millions of peptide-rich droplets. The skin is left nourished, comfortable, smooth, plump and silky soft to the touch, without a greasy feel.

PRICING & AVAILABILITY:

~$120 (1 oz.) 

~Available at Macy’s and www.lancome.com in April 2013 and nationally in May 2013!

Here is a Behind-the-scenes video of Lancôme's photo shoot with Kate Winslet!

The Healthy Body Wash 2-in-1 Vanilla Lavender

Hey everyone!

I love to sleep in, so you can image how hectic my mornings can be when I oversleep! To solve this problem, I have turned to Lavanila's Healthy Body Wash 2-in-1. This body wash not only leaves my skin feeling clean, but it doubles as a shaving cream in the shower! Talk about the ultimate time saver for a girl!


Here is what Lavanila has to say:

This All-Natural Shower & Shave Wash delivers gentle cleansing and soft, silky shaving in one step. Hydrating Coconut & Rosehip Oils blend with Soothing Aloe & Calendula for a luxuriously lathering wash that deeply nourishes while you cleanse and prevents irritation as you shave. 

How to Use:

Squeeze a small amount onto wet puff, lather & rinse. Apply directly to skin to enjoy a soft, smooth shave. 
 
The Healthy Difference:
 
Traditional washes use sulfates and other harsh detergents that can cause skin irritations & contact dermatitis.

Traditional shaving products are typically formulated with numerous chemicals that can be more readily absorbed by open, freshly-shaven skin.

The Healthy Body Wash 2-in-1 is a time-saving formula that luxuriously lathers while creating a soothing barrier for a close, non-irritating shave. Packed with nourishing ingredients that promote the development of healthy skin, this non-irritating wash soothes, cleans, and moisturizes!  

This product retails fro $14.00, and can be purchased at www.lavanila.com!

What is your favorite Lavanila product?

XoXo,
Whitney

Note: Lavanila sent me this product to try and feature on my blog. I am not associated with the company, nor are they paying me to feature their product. As always, my reviews and opinions are 100% my own!

A Breakthrough Way to Maximize your Manicure

Hey everyone!

Check out these tools to help you create your own flawless manicure at home!

File and Shape the Right Way

A natural nail should be shaped to mirror the shape of your cuticle.  This is the natural shape the nail grows and will keep the structure of the nail intact.  Breaking, cracking or splitting happens when the nail shape is altered. Always file in one direction; Never saw back and forth on the nail as this will shred the very delicate keratin layers of the nail, causing chipping and nail peeling!


Sally Hansen Ahead of the Curve 2 Step Sapphire File: This double-sided nail file features a two-part smooth and shape system with medium grit on one side and fine grit one the other. Start with the medium grit to adjust nail length and shape then follow with the fine-grit outer curve for a perfectly smooth finish. ($4.49)


Sally Hansen Nail Shaper Nail Boards - The ideal filing surfaces for nails not too hard, not too soft. ($1.29)


Sally Hansen No More Ridges Nail Shaper & Buffer - Shape, smooth, buff and shine nails with this professional salon smoothing block. ($1.49)

Pick your Hue

As the ultimate color authority, Sally Hansen has always been at the cutting edge of nail innovation. First, Sally Hansen introduced the first-ever polish to deliver five steps of a professional manicure with the Complete Salon Manicure collection. Now the nail care leader is upping the ante with two additional benefits—gel-like shine and chip-resistance—for the ultimate 7-in-1 formula. 


New pastels are dusty (I Lilac You), urban (Gray-T Escape) and not your standard pink or lavender (Pink a Card) for a more wearable and less traditional spin. ($7.99)

What do you think of these manicure tips?

XoXo,
Whitney
