No Magic…Just Pure Majesty!

That’s it in a nutshell really. Thanks to L’Oréal Paris the glorious elder stateswomen in our lives can still work it like they always have. L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation is a gorgeously formulated foundation specially designed for women in their 50’s and beyond. L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation capably assists women to continue to beautify skin that may require special considerations based on its maturity. Concerns like drier, finer skin, deeper wrinkles, localized redness, and pigmentation patches are addressed and made light work of with graceful efficacy when using L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation.

L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation draws on the revolutionary technology developed specifically for the L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Pro-Calcium SPF 15 range. The formula is enriched with Dermopeptides and Collagen Boost, which help to stimulate skin, plus Vita-Collagen (a combination of Vitamin E and Marine Collagen), which works to protect the epidermis from oxidation, dehydration and dryness, in order to restore its strength and vitality. Skin feels more supple, is re-plumped and looks noticeably rejuvenated. L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation also draws on a new-generation patented texture from L’Oréal Research. The formula contains silicone elastomers which are able to blur the complexion’s textural changes that often result with maturity by diffusing light.

Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation also features an exclusive combination of anti-redness pigments, which neutralize the complexion’s unintended colour variations, and a ‘reflector’ complex to reveal skin’s radiant healthy looking glow. The complexion is re-unified and worrisome markings and pigmentation patches are concealed without accentuating wrinkles.

L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation also has a fresh and sumptuous texture to it and sets to a moisturizing, non-greasy nor powdery finish. The delectable finish of L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation is no doubt due to the silky blend of silicone elastomers which allows the foundation to glide over and sit comfortably on the the skin and is effortless and uniform in its application.

L’Oréal Age Re-Perfect Re-Plumping Foundation is just perfect, much like the majestic woman wearing it!

Thank You.

When I sat at my desk in preparation to write the Get Even More Gorgeous With Beauty Marked! blog for today, I was humbled by a singular thought. This thought, oddly enough, is not a thought that I have every now and again, but in fact, one that I have every single day of my beauty-FULL working life. That thought, that very lovely thought was how grateful I am to be able to do what I really love to do and that a large part of the thanks is due to our infinitely beautiful Beauty Marked! readership. So thank you gorgeous ones, for inspiring and supporting me to do a job that I truly love. *SQUISH*

Yes, It’s Me…I Think?

med_bottlebox_a4.jpg
I have been getting compliments all day about my fragrance du jour. So many it was nearly embarrassing. I suspect the bit that was nearly embarrassing about it was that I was starting to wonder (read: get paranoid) if I was indeed the reason for such unabashed olfactory acclaim. Yes, I was wearing fragrance, this bit is true. I spritzed on a perfume of which I adore the crisp, ultra alluring scent of and that makes me feel much like the beautiful day that it has been today. It also reminds me of a glorious southern european holiday in the summertime. But I thought it was just me, me and my nose, to be precise. Little did I know, that by wearing the newest fragrance from Elizabeth Arden aptly named Mediterranean, that it was going to take so many others on what I thought was my very own little flight of fancy.

Mediterranean, by Elizabeth Arden is truly a captivating fragrance. Mediterranean was created for Elizabeth Arden by Quest International’s Executive Perfumer, Claude Dir. His inspirations:

“Mediterranean was inspired by the joie de vivre (joy of living) of daily life in Capri and Sardinia that merges sunshine, clear blue sky and a warm ocean breeze that brings Mediterranean scents from the mountains to the hot sand.

I developed the fragrance to capture this ease of spirit and pure, natural beauty… I selected a combination of sensual florals and creamy woods, joining beauty and texture. The comfort and warmth of these textured woods, so subtle yet intense, became the signature character of the fragrance.”

The top notes of this delectable fragrance are the sparkling radiance of peach nectar sorbet, Sicilian mandarins, and Damask plum. The mid notes are the unforgettable blooms of wisteria, star magnolia, and Madagascar orchid and the base notes are sandalwood, musk, and golden amber, all of which leave a glorious lasting impression.

The oval, cerulean blue, glass bottle is just beautiful in its simplicity, elegance and modern hammered silver cap. The Mediterranean collection is comprised of Eau de Parfum spray in 30 ml, 50 ml, and 100 ml and a 200 ml Body Lotion.

You can get your own little bit of the ever so captivating Mediterranean from all Elizabeth Arden counters and then you’ll know for sure it’s you!

CARITA And Nothing More.

If we lived in an ideal/UV-free world, there would be just one product that one wouldn’t want to be without and quite frankly only one product that one might just possibly need. This exceptional beauty product comes from the same place that legends are made of: La Maison De Beauté CARITA Paris. I’m talking the super luxurious CARITA Fluide De Beauté 14 Pailleté. Fluide De Beauté 14 Pailleté is an ultra-nourishing dry oil that is eagerly absorbed by the skin and hair leaving the most beguiling, subtle golden veil. This legendary potion not only nourishes the skin, but moisturizes and transforms it into its very supple best. The genuine gold glitters it generously contains, illuminate and beautify the skin. The fragrance of the unique CARITA Fluide De Beauté 14 Pailleté fragrance subsumes an ethereal mix of lemon, bergamot, orange, verbena, musk, and Lily of the Valley. It really doesn’t get much better than this.

To enter into the beautiful world of CARITA visit www.carita.com or telephone (within Australia) 1800 808 993 and enjoy!
