Body Performance Golden Moisturizer,Estee Lauder

Estee Lauder is introducing a new moisturizing and self tanning product called Body Performance Golden Naturally Radiant Moisturizer. It's a long name, but a great lotion.

The best part: it dries fast, really fast. I applied, rinsed my hands and the lotion had dried completely.

The lotion also contains a host of hydrators to really moisturize your skin while building subtle color each day. Containing Linoleic acid, Wheat Germ, and Safflower oils, as well as Vitamin E and Aloe Juice, this can be used as an everyday moisturizer.

It goes on smoothly, goes right into skin and only has a light smell that we all know self tanners give off. Some barely there fragrance also helps to diffuse that. There is the barest of shimmers in the lotion.

I have applied 2 times so far, and have just a hint of color. According to the directions, a full tanned look would take a week.

I definitely see moisturizing properties here as well. No need for other body lotion, and it's still chilly here.

Body Performance Gold will be in stores in April, and will retail at 35.00 for a 6.7 oz. tube

Estee Lauder Summer 07- Bronze Goddess

Estee lauder launches Bronze Goddess for Summer 2007 this month. I have been a longtime fan of the Amber Bronze collection, so was excited too see what was new.

The line has several bronzers, lipglosses, and eyeshadows.

The Soft Duo Bronzer come in a large case, with brush. The 2 shades are meant to be complementary , and are. There are two choices- medium and rich. On my pale skin, the rich worked fine. Come warmer weather it will be perfect. the lighter shade is a nude , and is a great blush, the deeper side, more brown/bronze, and is good for contour. There is only slight shimmer to this product, which makes it a good all the time choice. I will definitely be using this a lot.

The Soft Shimmer Bronzer comes in a powder jar, and is deeper and has more shimmer than the duo. This is a great all over bronzer, also would work well mixed with a lotion to apply to arms and legs.

The two eyeshadows are LE . They are gilded goddess( a shimmery golden hue, that I simply love) , and bronze goddess ( a deeper brown/taupe). Both of these can easily be summer staples.

The High lipgloss in Bronze from the regular collection is joined by an LE called Coral Reef. I have tried Bronze, and again love it. Another summer(for me, anytime) staple. Very silky, shiny and gilded with gold shimmer throughout the medium bronze lipgloss.

The Bronze Goddess collection will look so good come warmer months to accompany our self tans, and white handbags. It works pretty well now too, and needs not be left for the high summmer days. Time to get your glow on.

Givenchy Harvest Fragrances

(Lots of new things to post, and will begin them later today.)


Givenchy is releasing 3 new harvest fragrances again . Last years were really lovely. These will only be in France again at first, but usually make it to the US in a month or two after release. I almost bought one of last years. Will be interesting to see how the new ones are.

"Vintage scents are back at Givenchy again this year. These ‘Récolte 2006’ (“2006 Harvest”) limited editions put the spotlight on orange blossom from Nabeul, Tunisia (Organza), ylang-ylang from Mayotte (Amarige) and May Rose from Châteauneuf de Grasse (Very Irrésistible). The 3 bottles have been harmonized and are presented in the form of an elegant glass cube tucked inside a black box decorated with the highlighted flower."
