Laura Mercier is known for its flawless makeup, but soon it'll be known for its flawless face. The Flawless Face Kit, to be exact. That's right: The brand has compiled some of its very best products to create this one-of-a-kind collection, and all this week our friends at Sephora and I are bringing it to you.
The Laura Mercier Flawless Face Kit has all you need to achieve an immaculate complexion. The process begins with a foundation primer, then a tinted moisturizer, and finally an undercover pot plus translucent loose setting powder. It also includes all of the necessary tools: two brushes, a velour puff, and an egg-shaped sponge.

I recently confessed that I haven't yet found a shampoo that delivers the shimmering shine that is ubiquitously displayed in every hair commercial on television. I did, however, find the next best thing: Shu Uemura's Satin Design styling lotion. I love it so much that it's now a part of my blow-drying routine. But on those days when time is of the essence, I would love to pack all of that shine into a shampoo.
So for this week's Beauty Mark It challenge, I'm soliciting your help. What's your favorite shine shampoo? I'll start you off with Lush's Ultimate Shine solid shampoo. I haven't tried it yet, but if it lives up to its name, I may have found a winner. Do you have a favorite?
Share your choices by bookmarking items from around the web and tagging them with the phrase Shine Shampoo. I'll feature your favorites here next Tuesday.

For a few ideas about how to make yourself look better without having to apply tons of makeup, read more
One of my favorite bubbly and beautiful America's Next Top Model winners, CariDee English debuted her new blunt-cut fringe yesterday at The Power of Paws Launch Party in New York. CariDee has always had a few face framing layers, but nothing quite this dramatic. I love this sophisticated and edgy look — how do you feel about it?
The plumped-up ponytail is basically the same as a regular pony, but if you're looking for a unique way to give it your own special oomph, you can add a little bit of height to the front and some volume to the back.
