Bellisima! Skindinavia Solves Summer Makeup Meltdowns
Aye karumba! How many times have you had to bin your makeup (usually your lipstick) after a day at the the park, the beach or leaving it in your car on a hot Summer day? The waxy colour melts and there's nothing left but a big ole mess when you open up the cap.
Bellissima! Kerastase Specifique Bain Divalent Balancing Shampoo
There are some things that are beyond my understanding: The pyramids, tetraneutrons, why Heidi Montag came out with a record. I now consider Kerastase's new shampoo, Bain Divalent ($27), one of them. This shampoo is for those with a greasy scalp and dry ends — a.k.a.
Bellissima! Fresh Umbrian Clay Treatment Bar
I had no idea that a bar of clay could be a panacea to so many different skin ailments, but Fresh's Umbrian Clay Treatment Bar ($38) does the job. Umbria is a clay-rich region in Italy, and the treatment bar is made from pure clay. It has the appearance of soap, but once you feel it, you'll see that it's chalky, hard and much heavier and more fragile than soap.
Bellissima! Too Faced Decade of Glamour
Wow, It felt like Christmas morning when I opened up my big Decade of Glamour box from Too Faced Cosmetics ($40). Wide-eyed and excited, I eagerly opened up the pink and black double doors to reveal a left and a right leaflet filled with six lip glosses, two lipsticks and a lip balm.
Then, underneath the main panel, there are three full-sized products.
Bellissima! Diane Von Furstenberg's Lava-Licious Lipstick
Although Diane Von Furstenberg has discontinued her makeup line (let's all take a moment to mourn the loss of her awesome pink glosses), she can't let her love of makeup fade. So, each season she has decided to release one signature lipstick to complement her collection. Summer's choice will appeal to girls who were born to love volcanoes.
Bellissima! By Terry Rose de Rose Sheer Liquid Blush
I've got a crush on a new cream blush! Cosmetologist Terry de Gunzburg, creator of the iconic Yves Saint Laurent Touché Éclat and founder of By Terry, brings us a new (and, might I add, sensational) blush that I'd like to categorize as a cream blush. It's called Rose de Rose Sheer Liquid Blush ($52), but it's really a cross between a cream and a gel texture.
Bellissima! Stila Silk Eye Shadow Wash
Stila has decided to expand its popular Kitten powder eye shadow into an empire with the release of a cream shadow called Silk Eye Shadow Wash ($22). The super-long tube (1.1 oz) gets applied with a doe-foot applicator as a liquid form, and it dries to a powdery, crease-free finish.
I love that this shadow is so versatile.
Bellissima! Florascent Trial Collection of Fragrances
Decoding the world of fragrance is not an especially easy task. Although most of us can probably discern a fruity scent from a woodsy one, it's harder to identify certain smells without going through training (as Chandler Burr has said). That's why I delight in these Florascent fragrance trial collections ($26.50).
Bellissima! Debranded Home Body-Care Labels
If you're tired of having a bathroom cluttered with brand names, you might want to check out these labels from Debranded Home. A pack of five stick-on labels ($9) lets you transform any plain container into a fancy-looking, brand-free label.
To make the most out of these labels, just reuse a plastic container.
Bellissima! Clarins HydraQuench Cooling Cream-Gel
Clarins HydraQuench Cooling Cream-Gel ($48) is on my list for gym essentials. I like it because it's a great way to prepare your skin for post-workout beauty. You know how after you've just exercised your face is flushed, sweaty and tends to stay that way for a while even after you've showered?
