Miranda Kerr’s New Kora Organic Skincare Line

Model Miranda Kerr has introduced her new organic skincare line, Kora.  She is incredibly natural and relaxed in front of the camera as she explains why she created this product.  The expectant mother wanted skincare that would be nuturing to the body especially with her hectic lifestyle.  We see an active Kerr engaging in her daily activites of running, produce shopping and cooking; all are in line with healthy and natural living.  We’re sure that much of her beauty came from her genetic pool, but wouldn’t it be great if she has managed to bottle some of her ‘it’ factor in Kora.

We know and love Marchesa for their red carpet fantasty gowns, and now they’re adding makeup to the line-up.  Designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig have a new cosmetic collection with beauty brand, Le Metier de Beaute.   The duo apparently wanted to re-create their design magic in the beauty arena.  We’re already envisioning soft delicate color palettes with the ability to transform us into swans.  Bergdorf  Goodman and Neiman Marcus will start selling the compacts, lip glosses and highlighting pens in September.  They are probably wearing the fall collection in the ad campaign, it’s classic and pretty.

Scarlett Johansson’s Dolce & Gabbana Cosmetics Ad for Fall 2010

Scarlett Johansson shows us her dark side in this Dolce & Gabbana cosmetics ad campaign, and we like it.  She sports a dark pout, brows and eyes from the Fall 2010 Evocative Beauty Collection.  It contrasts perfectly with her golden blonde hair.  The makeup plays the lead, and is supported by the cheetah print background and the sexy black undergarment worn by the actress.  Dolce & Gabbana veered away from the soft neutral color palettes we usually see in other beauty ads.  Their makeup is in line with the sexy and provocative designer collections we’ve come to expect from this duo, bold and dramatic.  The forecast for the Fall 2010 cosmetic look is rich and decadent.

Drew Barrymore is featured in the August denim issue of Nylon magazine.  The actress talks about a period in Hollywood when no one would hire her, and how it taught her humility.  She also tells her interviewer about her new movie, Going the Distance, where there’s apparently simulated phone sex, but I digress.  Barrymore is a ray of sunshine in her pictorial, this is the girl we’ve grown to love.  Though she has experienced her share of hardships, we all love a great comeback.  You know that you are officially back when you are the recipient of a Cover Girl beauty contract.

Beyonce has a new L’Oreal commercial, and it is clear the lips have it.  She is wearing a lip color so red it rivals the shade on actual strawberries.  If it can stay true during the singer’s on-stage performance, then sign me up.  Her Infallible Never Fail Lipcolor will be perfect for the red carpet, cue the makeup artist for the Emmy’s next month.  L’Oreal struck gold when they selected Beyonce as their spokesperson, sure they’re probably paying a pretty penny, but ‘she’s worth it.’

Tom Ford Makes Luxury Lipstick for $45

Tom Ford launched a new line of lipsticks in 12 glorious colors.  The colors range from the barest nude to the deepest berry.  Anything bearing this designer’s name has to be luxe, and it’s priced accordingly.  Each tube retails for $45.  Maybe Tom Ford’s Private Blend Lipstick collection is the cashmere of lip color.  He works wonders with the silhouette, it’s only fitting he would do the same with the pout.  We know lip color is to the face what shoes are to the outfit, indispensable.  The beautiful white packaging with ‘TF’ lasered into the lip color will make this temptation hard to resist.  You can pick up your favorite shade at the usual suspects - Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.

Pucker-up Ladies: Fuller lips make you look younger

angelinajolie-lipsWomen have been painting on exaggerated lips and injecting collagen into their lips for as far back as we can remember, and now we know they were on the right track.  Research shows women with fuller lips are deemed to look younger than their thinner lipped counterparts.  That’s good news for those with fuller pouts, and Angelina Jolie has yet another reason to thank her lucky stars: she has beauty, pouty lips and Brad Pitt.  The news is not so good for thinner lipped women because the lips gets even thinner as we get older.  If you were not blessed with Angelina’s pout, all is not lost, there are several products out there to enhance the lips.  I imagine many of them are walking off department store shelves as I write.

I Spy Bold Lip Color for Fall

So we’ve talked about the clothing trends and accessories for fall, but what about beauty?  Our face is a canvass afterall.  There are two primary areas for us to work with, the eyes or the lips.  We know a lady should never do both, unless she’s a geisha or on the second leg of her world tour.  Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, I would like to focus on the lips because bold lip color is the beauty trend for fall.  The lip colors come in various shades of reds and burgundies, just choose the right hue for your complexion.  These colors will definitely brighten your face and mood during the winter months of cold weather and overcast skies.  Take a look at the video below to get your fall beauty fix.
