Achieve a Sunkissed Glow With jane iredale

2012-01-24T09:31:00.000+11:00

If you’re struggling to achieve the ultimate sunkissed glow this summer, then jane iredale can help you achieve bronzing bliss from head to toe. jane iredale’s mineral based tanner will get your skin naturally glowing. Two bronzing powders add shimmer and shine whilst two lip products will help your pout be plump and conditioned until the last summer sunset.

For that all over body bronzed look Tantasia works with your skin’s own melanin to produce an even, streak free tan that’s unique to you. Applying daily will see a rich, natural tan appear that mimics your natural tanned colour in just three short days. Tantasia is the ultimate 2-in-1, so you can skip the moisturiser as it’s enriched with wheat-protein to promote natural skin hydration.
Tantasia RRP: $54.00

For a natural subtle shimmer, try jane iredale’s Moonglow - a quad of golden and coppertoned shades that you can custom blend for your own sun goddess look. Simply swirl your powder brush over all four shades and apply all over. Or use each shade separately for a
more contoured finish. If you prefer the bronzed babe look, Sunbeam, with its pink and copper tones, is suitable as a cheek highlighter, on eyes, lips or as an all over body highlighter. And to help you achieve that sunkissed glow, both Moonglow and Sunbeam contain real 24-karat gold flakes.

Moonglow & Sunbeam RRP: $90.00 each

Sun, sand and surf drying your lips out? Try jane iredale’s Lip Drink to save your lips from dehydration. A colourless lip balm with SPF 15 and broad spectrum sunscreen, Lip Drink also contains green tea extract, Vitamin E and Vitamin C to nourish and enrich the condition of your lips.

Lip Drink RRP: $23.00

For something a little more glam, highlight your perfectly hydrated pout with a touch of Just Kissed - a shea butter based tinted lip plumper. Available in five wearable shades from soft matte pink to warm coral and a flattering neutral, Just Kissed contains cool mint, ginger and special peptides to give lips long-lasting moisture and visible plumping that lasts.

Estée Lauder's Resilience Lift Firming/Scultping Eye Creme

2011-10-17T10:37:00.004+11:00

At the heart of the Estée Lauder philosophy is the belief that every woman can be beautiful, and beauty begins with beautiful skin. It is a known fact that mid-life skin faces a multitude of daily challenges, including dullness, dehydration and the gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin, which results in sagging skin.

Estée Lauder has developed the first multi-faceted 24-hour lifting system to restore skin’s critical glow and youthful vitality with NEW Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Collection. Specifically designed to help define the look of your eyes, Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Eye Creme is an extra gentle formula created especially for the delicate eye area for extreme comfort and moisture.

This intensely nourishing formula is powered with both our exclusive Photo-Activated Lift Complex and Nocturnal Lift Complex to help skin boost its natural collagen and elastin production. Luminising optics instantly blur the look of fine, dry lines, so the eye area looks firmer, brighter, smoother and younger.

Estée Lauder Collaborates with StyleMeRomy

2011-10-10T10:20:00.004+11:00

In a beauty meets fashion first, Estée Lauder Australia has joined forces with Sydney stylist to the stars Romy Frydman from StyleMeRomy.com to film a series of “Style Sessions” aimed to merge the worlds of fashion and beauty exclusively for Australian fans.

Launched on the Estée Lauder Australia Facebook page as part of the new ‘Make Me Up’ tab, each StyleMeRomy Style Session shows exclusive behind the scenes footage of the latest fashion and beauty trends as well as easy tips and tricks that will help you create a complete look from head to toe.

Like fashion, beauty is seasonal and this season it is all about colour. In Style Session “Powerful Pout”, Romy shows that colour is key to make a bold statement whether it be on the lip or for a complete color-blocked look from head to toe. “The simplest way to wear this look is to colour block; solid colours clashing… electric mixes of colour… there is no specific occasion to wear colour, you can bring it in evening wear, daywear, swimwear anything – it just works over all areas of your life” she says.

“Estée Lauders Pure Color lipsticks are perfect for this trend. My advice, don’t be shy and experiment”, says Romy. Using the NEW Pure Color Sensuous Rouge lipstick in Enticing Fuschia, Premier Make Up Artist Jahi Ireland shows you how to put your best lip forward to compliment the colour look of the season.

In Style Session “Dramatic Metallic”, vintage glamour is back as Romy prepares us for the party season and dresses up old fashion favourites with a modern twist. “Metallics and shine are the big trend this season; start at the eye with a metallic pewter hue and go all the way to the shoe”, says Romy.

Using the NEW Estée Lauder Pure Color eye shadow palette in Film Noir, Jahi compliments the party season look by paying tribute to the style and sophistication of 60’s glamour. “Gold, sequins, sparkle and shine make this trend a high voltage hit – the perfect look for the party season”, says Romy.

An absolute style icon and fashion aficionardo, Romy Frydman was the natural choice for Estée Lauder to partner with to allow fans to translate the already popular ‘Make Up Master Classes’ under the “How To” tab into overall achievable style statements. According to Romy, “StyleMeRomy.com loves Estée Lauder! Working on the collaboration was amazing and, everything we achieved was done with such great synergy".

Offering style ideas to almost 40,000+ Facebook fans, the Estée Lauder Australia Facebook page offers a multitude of beauty and fashion tips and tricks to help you create a top-to-toe look that will take you from runway to reality.

Enjoy a sunless tan that’s naturally you with Tantasia by jane iredale. With more skin on show in summer, it’s no surprise a healthy, sun-kissed complexion is on most people’s wish list. Don’t risk the harmful effects of the sun or a faux orange glow. Instead enlist the help of jane iredale’s Tantasia. A unique mineral-based self-tanner, Tantasia works with your skin’s own melanin to produce an even, streak-free tan that’s unique to you.

Apply Tantasia daily on clean skin for three days and watch it build a perfect colour. Your Tantasia tan will last much longer than most self-tanners, because, believe it or not, it’s your own tan. Once you’ve achieved your desired shade, wear it confidently and simply touch up once you see the colour beginning to fade.

The ultimate 2-in-1, you can skip the moisturiser as Tantasia is enriched with wheat-protein that promotes natural skin hydration and natural vegetable-sourced silicone to leave your skin silky to the touch.

Streak-free and orange free, you can rest assure Tantasia won’t give your new glow away either. Tantasia has an invigorating fresh fragrance right out of the tube and won’t leave you with that fake tan after-smell – you can apply it just before heading out the door. Enjoy the warmer months with a safe, golden glow that’s naturally you with Tantasia from jane iredale.

A Cocktail of Musks

A refined veil of timeless Musks drapes the Benzoin and Caramel notes, revealing an irreverent combination defying convention. The silky, powdery texture of the Musks brings a sophisticated and elegant character to the fragrance.

An Overdose of Laotian Benzoin

Benzoin is a resin collected from the styrax tree, grown in the forests of Laos. Found here in an unprecedented concentration of 12%, it is addictive and sensual, with warm, sweet, balsamy notes evoking delicately vanilla-scented honey.

An Explosion of Caramel

In an unexpected Prada twist, a synthetic pop accord of Caramel is playfully jostling with the natural note of Benzoin. This Caramel accord is delicious, joyfully feminine and sweetly addictive.

Choose from 32 GelFX colours that have been colour-matched to the top-selling shades, from sleek neutrals to metallics, deep crèmes and vibrant shades of pink, blue and purple. Plus, because all GelFX shades are part of ORLY’s Permanent Nail Lacquer Colour Collection, your GelFX manicure can be matched with a traditional pedicure and any nail regrowth can be touched-up inbetween salon visits. Celebrity Manicurist and ORLY Australia Creative Director Fiona Hay says, “ORLY GelFX is so convenient for the busy woman on the go.

Now you can guarantee that your nail lacquer won’t chip no matter what your hands get up to.” But that’s not all! Unlike other gel-based manicures, ORLY GelFX also improves the condition of your nails. The secret lies in the Cleanser, Primer and Basecoat, which are all infused with vitamins to build nail strength.

The revolutionary formula includes Vitamins A and E to promote healthy nails, while Pro-Vitamin B5 protects the structure of the natural nail. More importantly, once you’re ready for a change of colour, ORLY GelFX can be easily removed in the comfort of your own home or at your selected nail salon if preferred. And as you’d expect, just like the rest of the ORLY nail lacquer and treatment range, the ORLY GelFX manicure system is ‘3-free’ from harmful chemicals DBP, Formaldehyde / Formaldehyde Resin and Toluene.
