Lauren Conrad’s Beauty Products Collection

Lauren Conrad’s latest postings in her blog on Forbes.com reveal that she intends to focus on her involvement with her beauty website, TheBeautyDepartment. Well, that is nothing new to her fans who are following her life closely and know of the existence of the site from its launch in the spring, and we know Conrad for her fashion endeavors perpetuated in her shows and novels, but now the creator of LC and Paper Crown really means to step on the gas.

Conrad writes that it is one of her “main objectives” to evolve her site and set up a product line. She is currently busy investigating all possibilities and fully hopes to hit on the final concept soon and get down to the execution.

Braced to expand her beauty endeavors, the 25-year-old reality star is backed by a strong team of makeup artist Amy Nadine and hair stylist Kristen Ess. Here is a viable (and cool!) foundation to build upon. Conrad invites everyone to stay tuned, and it seems she will be able to justify the attention, what do you think?

Body Shop Bronzants for Summer 2011

The official premiere of a new line of bronzant beauty-products created by the Body Shop will be held only on April 26, but even the first glance at the new offerings baffles all description. Because to call it “luxury” means not to say anything.

Undoubtedly, the new products of the Body Shop will compete with the world’s most renowned bronze lines. Judging by the title and the package design, one can see that the new offerings are enriched with bee products. All new items have a special glow or shimmer suitable for any skin type.

One of the star-products of the new collection is Honey Bronze Shimmering Dry Oil which contains honey and propolis and is characterized by a sparkling effect.

Another new product which attracts our attention is Honey Bronze Brilliance Powder, in two shades and in the form of a cylinder with a wide brush.

Honey Bronze Bronzing Gel For Face has a light weightless texture and introduces aloe vera, apart from honey, in its composition.

Honey Bronze Lip Nectar will be released in two lovely and convenient tubes and two brilliant natural colors.

Bronzing Powder is presented in four shades and pressed in the form of honeycomb.

Royal Wedding Nail Polishes by butter LONDON and Nails Inc

Only the lazy do not try to gain profit from Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding that will take place in April. And it’s not just about souvenirs. Almost every brand has a product with a reminder of the royal event. And even those who produce nail polishes.

The Butter LONDON company has released a nail polish which can be bought not only because of its pleasant shades of beige, but also as a souvenir for posterity. The nail polish has been named very poetically – “No More Waity, Katie” – and it is one of the colors of the brand’s season collection (All Hail McQueen for Fall-2010 season).

Though it remains a mystery why this particular shade has been selected as the nail polish for the princess.

By the way, Nails Inc. is also inspired by the upcoming wedding. The company has created two special nail polishes with specific, almost jewelry lids (15 pounds each), and a set of four mini-gloss nail polishes at the price of £ 25.

”Kate” nail polish has sapphire crystals on its lid. The nail polish is dedicated to Kate Middleton and her famous sapphire ring, presented by Prince William at the engagement.

”Will” nail polish presents crystals on its lid arranged in the form of the British flag.

Dior Spring 2011 Makeup Products

Premieres of spring and summer collections of Dior makeup are accompanied by significant changes. Dior has new faces, a new approach towards commercials, as well as new and interesting products.

Let us begin with new faces. Natalie Portman has been the face of Miss Dior Cherie fragrance since the beginning of this year. The advertising campaign has been filmed by Sofia Coppola, the celebrated director. And new images should appear at the end of this month.

In late March or early April we will have another premiere. Kate Moss will represent the famous Dior Addict lipsticks line. The production of 44 new shades and the commercial video of the new product are expected. And there is certainly another novelty about Dior’s being so active in the commercial video.

We also should expect the production of new shades of nail polish together with the new lipsticks. The new Rock Coat nail polish, a black coating which can be applied over any other color to make the nails glow in the vamp style, is in the focus of attention.

And some more rock shades are expected in spring.

Now, this is espionage news about the limited sale of the Aloha shade with some ultra-brilliant and vinyl effect (only from May 2 to 16 and only in some stores). The Aloha shade will be produced in a pair with another vinyl and brilliant “shocking pink” color. The price for each is about $35.

Pink and Grey Dior Makeup Collection for Spring 2011

Spring 2011 makeup collection from Dior has already received its share of critique. Many specialists note that this collection does not look like a spring one at all. The collection features a lot of gray colors in combination with pink. Gray+pink is the combination from Christian Dior’s childhood, which he spent in Normandy. Art-directors at Dior House were inspired to choose this color combination by the first Christian Dior boutique, which was opened on Avenue Montaigne.

The Makeup collection includes the following products:

Serum de Rouge Lip Treatment, in two pink shades (#240, #460)

Addict Ultra Gloss, in shades #654, #707

Color moist powder with SPF 8, in three soft colors (#001, 002, 003)

We started by noting that critics did not like this collection much. Indeed, when winter is over women want bright and juicy colors. But those of you inspired by gray will truly appreciate the variety of shades in this collection. Indeed, gray lipgloss is something unique and new to the makeup world. Overall, Dior Spring 2011 collection offers a very discreet and elegant image. Isn’t it the image that can reveal the inner beauty of any woman?

Benefits Of Oil Perfume

Most females use the large spray bottles of perfume instead of oil roll-on perfumes. Both have its benefits, but oil perfume is definitely not as popular as it should be considering its attributes. It is typically is more potent than a spray perfume so you use less. Also, it is great for travel as it comes in a small bottle. Best part, it is usually cheaper than regular perfume. Our favorite scent, especially with summer time in the near future, is the Hawaiian intoxicating Kai fragrance. Kai’s spray perfume is 1.7 ounces for $72, while their oil perfume is only $45 for 1/8 of an ounce which lasts forever!

Fall-Winter Makeup Trend

Fashionistas must have known that already. But if you’ve missed something, we’ll catch you up on that. Meet the hottest fall-winter makeup trend – beige lips.

The new trend was supported by all popular makeup brands and was promoted outside catwalks. So we also encourage you to think about the new color when choosing your lipstick. Nude lipsticks are perfect choice for brunets and blonds.

By the way, despite that nail lacquer should not necessarily match the color of lips, the lacquers of beige and grey colors are also this fall’s fad so we advise you to invest into them for 2009-2010 fall-winter season.

The new color has been already used in collections of such brands as Maybelline New York, Estee Lauder, Yves Saint Laurent, and Mac.
