Every woman wants to look her best, so why not get glamorous? FusionBeauty ColorCeuticals provides a four in one LipFusion Balm Tinted Lip Conditioning Stick that will hydrate, plump, give you color, and protect your lips with SPF 15. Try the balm in all four vibrant shades of Buff (a light nude), Bitten (peach), Berry (plum), Butterscotch (baby pink), and in Clear. Within the lip balm, is FusionBeauty’s unique Amplifat technology, which boosts the body’s collagen production over the course of 28 days. Snatch your balm at a Sephora for $22.

Do you ever find yourself in a hurry, trying frantically to apply a powder blush with a brush, but can’t seem to get an even tone? Not everyone is as lucky as some to have natural rosy cheeks. Whether you have a light skin tone like me or have a darker skin complexion, FusionBeauty has a suitable shade for your cheeks. SculptDiva Contouring & Sculpting Blush comes in four gentle on your skin shades of Crave (pink/peach), Cherub (pale rose),Haute (neutral with a bit of pink), and Bella (a deep neutral shade). Infused in the formula you will find Hyaluronic Acid, which each of us is born with and helps to regulate our moisture level in the body. Yet, as we age, our HA level diminishes. Now, with SculptDiva, your skin can have a natural plump within 28 days of use. The next time you see grandma or grandpa, proudly show them your cheeks, and let them give you a little squeeze! Sephora, $29.

We Tested Tinted SPFs–Our Top 3 Below!

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

Illuminating the skin: No weapon is more powerful in the fight against free radicals and UVA & UVB rays than a good SPF. SPF 30 is recommended by skincare specialists and doctors everywhere in preventing age spots, wrinkles, melanoma, skin lesions, and rosacea. Never leave the house without an SPF of 30 or higher and reapply after excessive sweating. Studies have shown that SPFs above 30 can protect the skin just as much, but you need to apply it liberally—key word. You really want to drench yourself in it.

Here are the best SPF 30’s around. Added bonus—they’re tinted! Wave bye-bye to foundations and primers during the dry and sticky months. All available at Sephora.

LORAC ProtecTINT SPF 30 Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer


Used In The Buff (the second lightest), Tahitian Tan (the darkest shade), and Beach Bronze (a sheer bronzer for any skin tone). Dare To Bare, their lightest shade, is normally the only one I could use, but there is something special about Lorac’s shades. The colors are so sheer, that when blended thoroughly, virtually any shade can look like your own. Tahitian Tan actually looked like a real tan on me! So effortless to blend, there was no tell-tale foundation line anywhere—very impressive, Lorac! Light coverage, excellent for layering, leaves skin dewy. Can get shiny a few hours after application, so pack some blot sheets. Great for sensitive skin!

5 sheer shades to match any skin tone. 1.3 oz for $32, found at Lorac Cosmetics.

Numbers 2 & 3 after the jump!
