Skin Bliss Shower LotionsBritish bath & body brand Imperial Leather is about to launch a new shower lotion line called Skin Bliss.
Skin Bliss promises to moisturise and pamper skin in a totally unique and natural way. Its new Moisturelock™ technology works in harmony with your body’s own moisturisers where it really matters, below the skin’s surface. In just five days, Skin Bliss can create visibly more radiant, soft and silky smooth skin.
From September 22nd 3 variants will be available: Cocoon, Glow and Renew.

Breaking from the main Imperial Leather brand, Skin Bliss is aimed at younger, more fashionable consumers. That’s why the ad campaign will use photography by fashion photographer Matthew Shave, known for his work for high-end brands such as Estée Lauder and designer shoe brand Jimmy Choo.

Taxi Man Guyliner and Manscara

Superdrug GuylinerGuyliner - the man-friendly kohl pencil - first made its appearance some time ago, as the new metrosexual guy accessory. Now, London high-street retailer Superdrug is about to launch Manscara, the little brother of Guyliner, the mascara especially created for men. Jeff Wemyss, Superdrug director of trading, insists that Taxi Man cosmetics are “not just for transvestites”.
I know the grungy rocker (i.e. Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain) or dark goth (i.e. The Cure’s Rob Smith) look seems the only type of male face one thinks of, when mentioning makeup for men; them and Captain Jack Sparrow. But Taxi Man creator Peter Kelly said: “We’ve developed essentials any guy would borrow from his other half. It’s about subtle make-up rather than wanting to create the drag queen look.”

And you know what? I see nothing wrong with cosmetics for men. Too many times I see guys or men that could use a little concealer or lip balm but would never consider putting some “girly stuff” on. But I say it’s just too easy for a woman to hide a blemish or undereye circles with concealer and then pile up layers of makeup (contour the face! emphasize the eyes! plump those lips!) on a daily basis, when men must face the day (sorry fo the pun) with the face they wake up with.
I say “bravo” for making Taxi Man, and I applaud men that have the courage to try different things.

Will you (or you other half) be trying some men make-up?

Havaianas Beauty Splash

limited-edition HavaianasThe flip-flop summer staples just got an exclusive makeover in collaboration with the Saks Fifth Avenue cosmetic team.
And what a makeover! Trish McEvoy, Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier (possibly the 3 most celebrated women in beauty) each designed a pair of limited-edition Havaianas. During the month of June, Saks Fifth Avenue will be offering its customers exclusive Havaianas flip flops designed by these three famed makeup artists.

Trish McEvoy wanted to bring to her sandal design the feeling of a walk on the beach—her favorite way to relax. “My colors this season brighten your complexion and call to mind the deep blues of the ocean, the pearlescent shades inside a seashell, and the glitter of the sand-taking you on an instant vacation.”

Laura Mercier decided to fill her canvas with kisses showcasing the new lipstick shades in her summer assortment, saying “A comfortable sandal should be as comfortable as wearing the lipstick on your lips.”

Bobbi Brown created a pair that reflects the spirit of summer- keeping it simple, enjoying every moment, and of course, and always looking fabulous in the process. “The beach is where I go to unwind with my family, so I keep things easy by wearing sunscreen, simple makeup and a fun pair of flip-flops.”

Wait! There’s more: they will be sold for $15 and all proceeds from the sale of each Havaianas will benefit charity:water - that helps bring clean, safe drinking water to communities in Africa, India, and South America with water wells and other water projects.

Now’s your chance to do something good while feeling all summery.
