by

Is age really just a number? I think, it depends, on how great you look and feel to determine if that really rings true. So let’s focus on the ‘look’ part; what if you had the opportunity to radically improve your skin’s appearance via two incredible Super Serums, Lancôme Génifique and Lancôme Visionnaire, courtesy of Lancôme? I think it’s safe to say that pretty much every woman I know would be jumping up and down in excitement! It’s extremely easy to try the Super Serums from Lancôme for free – all you need to do is head to Lancôme via this link to get an invitation for your samples, print, and redeem at your nearest Lancôme counter. Make the foray toward proven, amazing results with your perfect partners for younger-looking skin. So what are the Super Serums duo exactly?

  • Lancôme Génifique Concentrate is the award-winning activating serum targeting radiance, vibrancy and softness. Génifique provides a visibly younger skin in just 7 days.
  • Lancôme Visionnaire is the award-winning correcting serum; in only 4 weeks, Visionnaire radically improves the appearance of wrinkles, pores, and uneven texture, leaving your skin visibly transformed.
  • The result: So noticeable that one out of two women tempted by a cosmetic procedure actually decided to postpone it.* By utilizing both of these products together, greatness can be achieved – start by applying one to three drops of Génifique to cleansed skin, followed with two pumps of Visionnaire. Then continue with your regular moisturizer, beauty balm, powder, and/or foundation. For best results, use Génifique and Visionnaire together in both the morning and evening.

    • *After 4 weeks of consumer use. Consumer evaluations of women 35 to 49 years tempted by hyaluronic acid, laser or chemical peeling. Results not equal to a medical procedure

Not sure if you know how to execute this makeup trend? Check out the Stella McCartney runway show for some makeup inspiration. Also, take a tip from the pros by keeping the rest of your eyes pretty bare. For a less intense look, try only wearing the colored mascara on the top lashes and keeping the lips slightly matte in a lighter, neutral shade.

Which Great Lash color will you try?

Lucky Brand Denim for All!

by

With a few of my fabulous Style Coalition style bloggers  in tow, I went to a casual preview to check out the new Lucky Brand Denim collection for Fall hosted by Lucky Brand & ELLE with included an Exclusive Denim Fitting Party at its NYC Showroom on Tuesday, July 10th. The Lucky Brand Design team, which included Nico Peyrache, met with each of us individually to discuss the latest fabrications, styles,and fits as well as to provide a personalized experience in finding the best denim for each of our particular body and style needs.


[The rack of gorgeous Lucky Brand Denim styles]

Lucky displayed an array of styles that reinforced the idea of a ‘denim democracy;’ that is, offering a fit for every body type and addressing concerns that other brands simply dismiss (muffin top issues, anyone?). It was hard to narrow it down to one pair as a favorite, as each of the styles featured offered a little something different, depending on the occasion. We all wore our own favorite pair of jeans as a jumping off point to embark in our potential new Lucky Brand style; mine wear a 70s bell style from Rock and Republic that took a long time to break in, but once I did it a few months ago, I haven’t worn any other pair since.

The featured Lucky Brand styles that I learned about and tried on at the event were the:

– Sienna Cigarette
– Charlie Skinny
– Sofia Boot, Sofia Skinny and Sofia Straight
– Cate Stacked and Cate Booted

[Lucky Brand designer Nico Peyrachegives me a custom consult and break down of the new fits and fabrications]

The Sienna Cigarette style was a resounding favorite (pictured below) as it provided a little slouch but not overly so to make it a full-blown boyfriend jean; rather the style was more akin to a really great cuffed weekend jean that is straight, opposed to snug, through the hip and thighs. Every blogger who tried these own looked amazing in them! The Charlie Skinny was an incredibly sleek fit in a great stretchy, comfy, fabric that will look great for a night out paired with a filmy, gauzy feminine blouse.  The Sofia (Boot, Skinny, and Straight), are curvy through hip and thigh, sit below the waist for an accommodating mid-rise, are super stretch and beyond soft.  There are a variety of wash and cut options – try one, or all three to match with all of your different footwear styles in your closet! These are also fantastic is you’ve got a little more meat on you in your hips and thighs; if your tall try the straight, short try the boot to lengthen, and anyone can do the skinny- just have confidence and you will own the look.

Last, we’ve got the Cate (Stacked or Booted), that literally provide the best of both worlds with a mini rise in the front, and a high back rise — genius!! These are great for virtually any body type, and now that you don’t have to worry about anything peeking out of the top of the jean in the back; go ahead and wear those on-trend crop tops!

[Checking out my derriere in the mirror (yet again!) in the Sienna Cigarette style]

My two best fits were the Sienna Cigarette (above and below) and the Cate Stacked; I couldn’t get over how comfortable and soft they were, plus easily slipped on without any bunching or gapping or too much of a low-rise in the back. I even did a few ‘tests’ for the gals which included bending, squatting, sitting, and dancing to see how functional the jeans were right out the gate. It really was an incredible experience; especially considering how petite I am, I was thinking the proportions might be off but no way–they fit just like the pair I wore there, that as you recall, took months to break in.

I never would have thought that I would be attracted to a boyfriend style, but lo and behold, I was totally smitten with the Sienna (and Nico and the blogger gals conferred it was the one for me!). Gotta love Lucky Brand Denim for making a potentially anxiety-prone experience of finding the perfect jean for a variety of body types a breeze!

Let The Games Begin! Butter London’s Olympics Nail Lacquer Trio (thefind Guest Post)

by

From our friends at thefind.com:

As much as I’d love to jump onboard with all the 2012 Olympics excitement… the truth is, I’ve never really been that into the Olympics. Maybe it’s because there are just too many events to keep track of, maybe it’s because it gets in the way of all my favorite summer reality shows… or maybe it just conjures up bad memories of my own failed gymnastics dreams. In any case, if there’s one thing (besides chiseled swimmers’ abs) that can get me excited about all the sportsmanship and festivities, it’s Butter London’s limited-edition nail trio! The Olympics Heavy Medal nail lacquer trio is just about the most adorable idea ever, in equally adorable packaging. Three shiny metallic shades in the games’ signature Gold, Silver, and Bronze make for a perfect festive set to help you get in the competitive mood!

And at $36, it’s a steal you won’t want to have to wait another four years for!
