I have been using the RÉNERGIE line of products from Lancôme for over a month now. I love the feel of my skin and the brighter complexion I have been experiencing.

Lancôme has put together an exclusive set for Macy's that includes everything a woman needs to get started with the RÉNERGIE system.

The RÉNERGIE products work with it's unique firming and anti-wrinkle effect that helps fortify the skin and makes the skin plumper and smoother.

In this set, you will find Absolue Ultimate ßx Serum, Rénergie Cream, Rénergie Night, Rénergie Eye. all in a zippered cosmetic bag. Separately, the products would be $166, but it is packaged together for $85 - that is almost half off!

The London fashion designer Christopher Kane has dressed some very special, limited edition Lancome Juicy Tubes. Each dressed tube is inspired by one of four fashionably hot cities. New York, Paris, Tokyo, and Rio; and each one has it's very own designer dress. Nine shades in all, these are calling my name.

Choose from: Copacabana Coffee, Grand Café Crème Brûlee, Paris Bubbly, Peach Mochi, Moulin Rose, Tokyo Plum Blossom, Red Hot New York, Fifth Avenue Frosting, or Rio Mango.

My choice is Red Hot New York. With a spicy, cinnamon, red-hot candy taste, a beautiful sheer red with subtle sparkle, this is a must-have for any Juicy Tube collector.

Shop soon for these limited edition beauties, as they are going fast. Visit your Lancome counter or shop online at Lancome.com.

The last thing I really need to be shopping for are more beauty products. But when there is a gift so great, filled with some products I use a lot, including a terrific bag that I really need, then I must place an order.

Right now at Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com, with any $39.50 Lancome Purchase, you will receive this "Time for Play" gift. 

Inside this glam gold train case are the following Lancome favorites:
Definicil's High Definition Mascara in Black
Cils Booster XL Mascara Base

As I am prepping my skin for self-tanning, and loving a tube of Lancome's Resurface Microdermabrasion Body Polishing Treatment, I ordered another tube. The polishing treatment has done a superior job of ridding my body of it's dry winter skin, and with just a weeks use, I am already noticing softer and more luminous skin.

My total for this was $46, which qualified me for the gift, and I bought some other great goodies - not from the beauty department - that qualified me for Free shipping, making my little online spree a good one.

This offer is only good while supplies last, so shuffle on over to NORDSTROM to make your Lancome purchase soon.

If this doesn't make you wish for long, hot Summer days, I don't know what will. The Lancôme Summer Collection, which doesn't hit counters until next month, is simply beautiful. Let me introduce you to Cabana Bronze.

The star products include the Star Bronzer Sun Cherub Compact and the Color Design Cabana Bronze Eye Shadow Palette.

The Sun Cherub Compact ($50) is a cherub embedded large bronzer. Loved by celebrities and makeup artists, this très grand palette showcases the original Lancôme cherub embossed in a sea of light and dark bronze shades.

Select from one of the two new shadow palettes. Color Design Cabana Bronze Eye Shadow Palette ($43) in Cabana Sunrise, with its pinks, lilacs and browns, will awaken your senses, while Cabana Sunset with its sultry golds and deep browns will set the mood for the evening ahead.

I am rocking the Cabana Sunset eye look today with the newest Color Fever Gloss from the collection, in a beautiful sheer and sparkling bronze. Now, I just need the bronze tan to match (coming soon!).

I cannot wait until the entire collection is launched in April. 

I love thick, rich body creams. Sometimes, even in the harshest and driest of winters though, a thick cream can be too much, especially during the day. This is why I have become very dependent on various shea butter formulaes. I have found a new body cream, though that has changed my thoughts, my ways, and my skin.

Meet Lancome Nutrix Royal Body Cream. This cream is very similar to a whipped shea butter, though it appears much firmer until you dig your fingers into it.  The smell is strong, at first, but it dries down to a soft, almost powdery, light floral scent.

Nutrix Royal Body Cream is made with Royal Lipideum, which is a patented technology enriched with Royal Jelly that supplements your skin's own natural lipids for intense hydration.

Within just a few days use, my dry patchy knees and elbows are so much softer. I generally use this right in the shower after I turn off the water. I like to rub it into my skin while I am still wet as to get rid of any heavy or thick cream feel. At night, I have even been smoothing this rich cream over my feet, making them look, feel, and evn smell divine.

This wonder cream from Lancome retails for $34.00. If for some reason you are afraid of a thicker cream (which there really isn't a need to be in this case) or generally prefer a lotion, there is also a Nutrix Royal Body Lotion available as well.
