nail color of the week: Rescue Beauty Lounge Grunge

Rescue Beauty Lounge's Grunge is a fabulous neutral, but unlike any neutral i own. it's a described as a moody pinkish grey with a dash of lilac, and i think that's a perfect description.



though i bought Grunge earlier this year, this is only my second time wearing it. in certain light it really looks more pink, and in others it looks more grey-- look at it, it's amazing! :)

StriVectin Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum

StriVectin Overnight Facial Resurfacing Serum is a new product that promises to gently exfoliate skin overnight-- while you sleep to be more specific --minimizing the appearance of large pores, improving skin's tone and overall appearance so you look more radiant when you wake in the morning.

so, does it work??

i found that it did leave my skin feeling smoother and looking more refreshed the next morning after using it for the first time. now after using it for over 6 weeks, my skin still looks great and a few dark spots (that had been left after a few pesky breakouts) are a distant memory. i am really enjoying this facial serum!

ingredients include willowbark and retinyl palmitate (they gently exfoliate the skin), rosa multiflora fruit extract (helps brighten the skin), and vitamins C and E (antioxidants). it also caontains Exfolactive®,a rich source of complex sugars that increase natural enzyme productivity for enhanced exfoliation.

if you're looking for a gentle exfoliating product, i highly recommend you try this for yourself. this new breakthrough product is one anyone of any age can use, and it's even safe to use around the eyes.

visit strivictin.com for more info and to purchase. you can also find it in Sephora and Macy's stores.

Leighton Meester's L'Oreal Liploss of Choice

L'Oreal's Infallible Plumping Lipgloss, like the original, leaves lips glossy and actually lasts on lips longer than most lipglosses. Plumped Tawny and Plumped Rose are the colors i like to wear the most, but i don't find that it adds any fullness to my lips. i can, however, feel the cool tingling when i wear it.

Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester also likes this gloss, finding it gives her that little something extra.:

"L'Oréal Paris' Infallible Plumping Lipgloss
in Plumped Red gives me that extra little color
and boost when i really want my lips to pop."

visit lorealparis.com for more info. find it at a drugstore and mass retailer near you.

have you tried Infallible Plumping Lipgloss yet?

WWD: Kate Moss On Her New Fragrance & Living a Fashionable Life

Kate Moss sat down with Women's Wear Daily contributor Brid Costello to discuss her new scent Vintage, which was introduced in europe earlier this month. additionally, Stephen Mormoris, svp of global marketing at Coty said they may look into having Moss create a special color cosmetics collections for its Rimmel brand, which Moss also fronts.



the fragrance's genesis–- Moss' love for vintage fashion–- has much more humble origins. "i couldn't really afford designer clothes when i was young, so i just went to the secondhand shops. it wasn't called vintage then, it was called 'secondhand' when i was 15."

WWD Beauty Biz also spoke with the supermodel about her very fashionable life-- among other things, she opens up about her dfinition of beauty, her inspirations and how to multitask....

defining beauty:

"it sounds really corny, but i think that if you’'e beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure. you can be a pretty face, but if you're not a nice person it just doesn’t work. i'm not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think i'm all right. if you’re a nice person, it definitely helps."

on having a motto:

"there are loads. there's "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works.”

her secrets to multitasking:

"i think women are really good at multitasking. men just cannot do it. my boyfriend cannot talk on the phone and [answer] if i ask him a question or get dressed at the same time. i can do all of that-- talk on the phone, answer a question, get dressed and put my makeup on all at the same time. women just do, don't they? i think it's something to do with babies. when you have a child, you have to be able to multitask."
