Even More from Clinique

Clinique’s Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm is now available in even more shades. This world-wide phenomenon (truly) is a multi-tasking dynamo that moistens while coloring your lips with beautiful, vibrant (but still wearable) shades. The new shades include: Voluptuous Violet, Mighty Mimosa, Bountiful Blush, Two Ton Tomato and Curvy Candy.

These lip balms are very portable, easy to apply and never messy.

Another item we love from Clinique is  their Age Defense BB Cream. This light and effective cream adds color and UVA/UVB protection and also acts as a face primer. It is light and does what it promises. What more could you ask?

Runway Coral-- for all of us

So, you think you can't wear coral-hued lip color? Clinique has given us Runway Coral, a shade that is just bright enough and just intense enough to look smashing on just about anyone. It feels great going on and lasts. This is a perfect shade for summer. Thanks, Clinique!

A Remarkable Lip Color

At first glance the color in Clinique's elegant (as always) tube seems a bit off-putting. Black Honey. Lovely name but how would it look on? This is a shade that began as a lip gloss hue in 1971 and then saw another life as an Almost Lipstick in 1989. Now it has come around again and this time you have a choice. The Lipgloss/Lipstick Duo has two doses of the flattering shade so you can select whether you want a very light or slightly more daring application.

  Try it and you'll see that it really is a color almost anyone can wear and wear beautifully. Clinique refers to this shade as the new black and you will see that you can wear it with anything and you will look smashing.

Beauty by Borghese

    Coming in November, nurturing and beautifying lip color from the La Perla Duale Collection by Borghese featuring six fashion forward shades inspired by the runways of Milan:  Perla Nudo, Perla Café, Perla Fiamma, Perla Pesca, Perla Vino and Perla Rosa. 


   The creamy, long-lasting, dual purpose formula delivers rich, opaque color with a high pearl finish.  Formulated with Vitamins A, E & C to condition lips and help provide anti-oxidant protection, and Chamomile and Aloe to soothe and smooth. The finish is subtle and warmly glowing with a soft and muted  foil-like finish, and it stays on a long time. Even the shape in the tube is nice--not too rectangular so it glides on as smoothly as it feels on your lips.

High Definition and Beautiful

Here is a truly lovely lip color from Avon. High Definition. The rich creamy formula feels smooth going on and the color just pops on your mouth. The shimmer--really more of a subtle iridescence--  is just enough and even some of the shades--there are 10-- that might seem too dark or deep on first glance end up looking fabulous on your lips.

The supercharged shades include Brilliant Berry, Charged Cherry, Kicked Up Coral, Mocha Madness, and more.

Very smooth, subtle and yet so definitely--high definitely--there.

Beautiful, Buxom Lips

We love the convenience and precision of lip pencils but sometimes they can feel dry. These chubby crayon/pencils from Bare Escentuals plump as well as line and fill your lips and your mouth just feels as nice as it looks.

You can add gloss if you want to put a glaze on the soft matte finish but we like them just the way they are.

Bare Escentuals makes the very skin-friendly Bare Minerals  make-up, easy-on gel eyeliners, skin care products and other fine cosmetics so it is no surprise that these lip pencils are as good as they are.

As we go to press (to use a quaint phrase) we learn that Shiseido Co, Japan’s largest cosmetics maker has agreed to acquire Bare Escentuals, Inc for about $1.7 billion in cash.
