Bring On The Bling

Welcome to the third and final installment of Bring on the Bling. I already told you about beauty products that incorporate diamonds and pearls, and today, I'm rounding up three more products that include pulverized gemstones, which are said to give off strong vibrational qualities that soothe, smooth, and revitalize the skin.

Aveda Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Cream ($32) is a gentle face cream best suited for normal to dry skin. Crushed tourmaline is included in this formula, along with powerful anti-oxidants and natural marine and plant extracts. For best results, use in the morning and in the evening.

Welcome back to the second installment of Bring on the Bling. (Be sure to check out yesterday's post, Part I: Diamonds.) This series proves that nothing is too precious to put on our skin — literally. Today's featured products are infused with crushed pearls, which are believed to contain high concentrations of minerals and amino acids essential to healthy skin cells. I have yet to try these products, but if you have, please share your thoughts below.

Carita Pearl of Youth for Lips ($67) is an anti-aging lip treatment that helps to repair and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on and around the mouth. It contains peptides that make lips look full and moisturized, as well as pearl powder to nourish the skin. Apply in the morning and evening to a perfectly clean pout.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend — and spas are one of her favorite places to hang out! Whoever was the first cosmeceutical genius to come up with the idea of mixing the two together was really onto something. BellaSugar proudly brings you the first of a three-part series that focuses on a new wave of skincare products that contain precious gems. Today, we are looking at products with diamonds.

La Mer Refining Facial ($75) is a smoothing cream that contains natural exfoliating agents, including diamond powder, sea quartz, and fermented acidic sea mud, which rid your face of dead and dry skin cells. Your skin instantly looks radiant, re-texturized, and renewed, since the special ingredients turn your mini-massage into energy that helps increase circulation and overall vitality of your facial skin.

Lip gloss is perfect just being itself. But what about when it gets the bling treatment and gets a little fancy? Then you have the Clarins 'Forever Diamonds' Gloss, $19. I just couldn't refuse the rhinestone lovely on top of this gloss and this gloss is perfect if you want just a touch of shimmer. It's like a lip gloss sundae with a diamond on top!

Adding a touch of warm, golden lip gloss to any lipstick you dare to wear will give you an instant shine. Just dab a dot of these shimmery, sheer glosses in the center of your lower lip, and add a touch of brilliance to your lackluster lips. Finding just the right shade can be tricky though. A too-pale, opaque color could make you look washed out and chalky. Here are my three favorite golden glosses that will surely give your kiss the Midas touch.

Make up counters can't seem to keep this Yves Saint Laurent Golden Gloss in stock! It's sheer and sexy and makes anything you're wearing on your lips instantly look better. It even contains traces of real 24-karat gold. Buy it here for $25.50.

T. Le Clerc Gloss Reflection Lip Gloss in Or Transparent is like having a disco ball on your lips. It's not too thick and definitely not runny and sticky. This shade is extremely sheer, and it stays on for a very long time. My favorite match with this gloss is T. Le Clerc Lipstick in Sage. Buy it here for $20.
