Beauty Marked! A Shimmery Body Cream

BellaSugar — Tue, 01 May 2007 14:39:22 PDT

Last week I told you about my old time favorite Nivea Silky Shimmer Body Lotion, $9, that I've been using for about five years now. Although I adore the way it glistens perfectly in the light, I think it's time to try something new. I mean let's face it: they've made so many shimmery body creams within the last five years that I'm bound to be missing out on something fab if I don't start experimenting ASAP!

You guys were asked to go beauty marking to help me find a new awesome shimmer body lotion. I've checked your finds and I really like what I see. Here are a few that I've chosen to feature!

Beauty Mark #1 found by GirlInPink, is called Jergens Soft Shimmer Skin Radiance Moisturizer, $6. If this cream is anything like Jergen's original formula, I am sure it's great. Jergen's products have an awesome fragrance, they moisturize deeply and leave your skin feeling soft and supple. This one is infused with light reflectors for subtle radiance. I can't wait to try it.

To see a couple more shimmer body lotions,

Beauty Mark #2 found by swwonder, is called Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Body Gloss, $6. It is a super rich body cream that illuminates skin with a soft shimmer. It is made from pure cocoa butter and Vitamin E to ensure that your skin is left hydrated and smooth. Thanks for this suggestion, sswonder, you certainly can't beat this price!

Beauty Mark #3 found by foreverdizzy, is called Cranberry Shimmer Body Lotion from The Body Shop, $16. Just the sound of this is exciting. I love cranberry anything! This is a light and creamy moisturizer that absorbs quickly into the skin. It deeply conditions and leaves your skin feeling silky, smelling great and glowing.

The 4 Dos (And 4 Don'ts) of Wearing Face-Brightening Luminizer

Luminizer is the perfect tool to spruce up your makeup look and give your skin a healthy, natural-looking glow in seconds. The question is: Should you use a liquid luminizer or the powder stuff to get the best results? It turns out, both come with varying benefits. According to celebrity makeup artist Desirae Cherman (who has worked with stars like Mindy Kaling and Jamie-Lynn Sigler), powder looks more natural because it doesn’t have as much pigment as liquid does. Plus, it's easier to apply because it doesn't require as much blending. But that shouldn't hinder you from using liquid to get your glow. She explains, "Liquids last longer throughout the day and can be used on bare skin." Read more to find out the dos and don'ts of luminizer here.

Coming Soon: Donna Karan's New Cashmere Mist Accoutrements

BellaSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:00:49 PDT

Why mess with a good thing when you can capitalize on a classic? In this case, Donna Karan has decided to maximize the success of her 1994 Cashmere Mist fragrance by introducing this year's additions to the existing empire. Beginning in September, four new limited-edition zesty scented bath and body products will be available for purchase at department stores nationwide.

The Cashmere Mist product range includes an oversized body powder compact, a silky body oil, a luxuriously thick body cream, and a candle that burns for up to 36 hours. My favorite product is the compact because it oozes old, 1940s glamour. The powder is shimmery, silky, and pale gold. It adds a warm radiance to your skin and ensures that your essence lingers as you go about your business.

For pricing information, a detailed description and a close-up peek at each of the products,

Cashmere Mist Fragrance Body Silk Body Oil ($70) is an off-white, warm aromatic candle that comes in a classic cylinder glass votive and burns for up to 36 hours.
Cashmere Mist Silk Body Crème ($55) is back by popular demand. This body lotion was actually available last year and was an international best-seller. The cream is silky, decadent, and leaves behind a powdery shimmer finish.
Cashmere Mist Candle ($25) is a silky and completely nongreasy body oil that absorbs instantly into the skin leaving behind a slight luster and strong scent. Since the formula is so unique, this makes for a terrific gift for any Cashmere Mist fan.
Cashmere Mist Fragrance Body Powder Compact ($48) is a unique way to wear a fragrance. This pale-golden powder gets applied with a fluffy brush and contains shimmer flecks and softening agents to leave skin with a velvety, soft glow.
