Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess 2011.

I just got back from a wonderfully warm mini vacation in Florida. The sun. The sand. The surf. Ahhh... It is just what my mind needed during this long ongoing winter.

With my faux-tan out in full force, I was looking for complimentary products to make me look as sun kissed as possible.  I didn't have to search far as this years instalment of Bronze Goddess from Estée Lauder came along just at the perfect time.

M∙A∙C Future Face is Here!

M∙A∙C Future Face is Here! A new launch, this one is all about perfecting your skin, through the use of these new beauties.

It is a three-in-one force: Powder, Foundation and Tinted Moisturizer all together.

First, new Studio Careblend Pressed Powders blur the line between skincare and makeup, with a pressed texture that beautifies as it benefits.

I believe the secret to this is not only the powder, but the puff as well. I love applying it all over my face after I am finished with my makeup for a total air brushed look. The light shade is so perfect for me, that I also blend it on down over my neck to soften the appearance of my wrinkles that are unfortunately apparent now-a-days. I apply it lightly, as I said, but it can be used on its own for a sheer to medium, smooth, even coverage for a flawlessly soft and even tone with caring, comforting properties.

Also part of this launch is an extended range of shades for Studio Fix Fluid and Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15. These new shade extensions fill in all the gaps for a more broad, all-inclusive shade range.
