Tone Vino Moisture Body Wash

Tone's new body wash features crushed grape , shea butter and vitamin E.   This new wash is  a cream/ gel , more gel than cream ,  very moisturizing and smells great.

The scent is of grapes but not soda sweet or candy grape, but more a plum or concord one. It's not a strong scent but just pleasant enough.

Tone Vino Moisture with Crushed Grape and Shea Butter will  be in stores February/March and retail will be $ 3.99  .

Duran Duran and Kate Moss- New Video for Dior Addict Lipstick

 Not sure what it says that that the day I met Simon and Nick  of Duran Duran was one of the best ever, but in my defense it was also my first day ever at fashion week , so  put the two together and yes,  it goes on the best ever list. I mean, I have been a fan for , ok not saying how long, but you get the idea. LONG. And I told them so, and they were gracious and sweet,  bless their hearts.

So how excited was I to hear they partnered with  my also beloved Dior to do the music for the  videos  of  the new Dior Addict Lipstick?  Their new single All You Need Is Now dropped in December and is good. Really good. That song with a mash up of few Duran older gems forms the music for the new video starring Kate Moss  along with some fabulous Parisian scenery, one gorgeous Rolls Royce  and Dior  baubles and shoes.

I know nothing else about these new lipsticks, but I do know that I loved the orginal Addict ones.  Shade Lunar Brown  was and still is an all time fav, even if it too old to use now.

So Dior and Duran= sign me up.

You can view the two , very short, previews at these links.

More info when I get it. In the meantime , enjoy.

philosophy hope in a tinted moisturizer

Philosophy  hope in a tinted moisturizer brings a tinted moisturizer into their hope skincare line.  Hydrating and loaded with good for your skin ingredients  , it's especially suited to this cold winter many of us have been having.

Ingredients in hope in a tinted moisturizer include sodium hyaluronate, a peptide blend, vitamins E, C and Carnosine , mango seed butter, sunflower seed oil, lavender oil, as well as uva and uvb protectors  with an SPF of 20.

 The moisturizer  leaves behind a  hint of color with light  coverage. The pump bottle is a nice touch and the product blends easily and dries fast .  It had a  barely there  feeling on my skin . The shade shown is light, and is a bit darker than the palest skins  might need. I am pale but not the palest in foundations and this worked on me but was still a little darker than I would normally use. There are 8 shades in all.

If you love tinted moisturizers, then you might want to give this a try. All the added skincare ingredients plus SPF make it a good choice for normal to dry skins who like sheer coverage.

Available now for $ 38.00 for 1.7 oz
