The Latest Nordstrom Exclusive: Lancôme Définicils Precious Cells High Definition Amplifying Mascara.

If you crave lashes that are as captivating as A-lister, Julia Roberts, the celebrity ambassador of the collection, then look no further. This innovative mascara not only regenerates damaged follicles, but conditions deep within to deliver thick, rich lashes.

The secret behind the luxurious, impactful finish is the complex ingredients. Infused with Swiss Apple Extract, a revolutionary plant derivative that reinforces and protects lashes, this product can give you lashes that look healthy, strong and utterly resilient. This beauty breakthrough not only defines lashes beautifully, but uses a blend of five, triple-coated waxes to deliver fullness from root to tip.

It wouldn’t be a Lancôme mascara without a technologically-advanced, performance-driven brush. This new multi-faceted component was designed for flawless application. Short bristles deposits the formula along the lash base, while the flexible, longer bristles coat the entire follicle for dramatically glamorous results.

Beginning June 2010, the Lancôme New Définicils Precious Cells High Definition Amplifying Mascara ($29) will be available exclusively at Nordstrom and Nordstrom.com.

Talika Lipocils Expert in ‘real life’

Marta Walsh says: “Talika Lipocils Expert made me a believer in lash enhancer serums. Within just the first 4 days I’ve noticed stronger and longer lashes. I apply twice a day in the morning after shower and before makeup and at night after removing my makeup before going to sleep. Even if you’re already blessed with full dark lashes Talika Lipocils Expert will take you to that bigger than life lash level”.

I must say I was slow to the jump on the lash boosting serum wagon. It was a combination of necessity and belief. Well in my case, with my dark brown naturally full lashes I didn’t see a need to use help. However now I realize that the lash trend of our times is not just full lashes, it’s bigger than life lashes.

So I gave L’Oreal Double Extend 24-Hour Lash Boosting System (Mascara + Serum) a go. And to my surprise I do see a difference. My lashes feel just a little stronger, longer, and fuller. I also love the lash primer in the system which give my lashes even greater boost. The system has all you need for your lashes.

Double Extend Lash Boosting Mascara includes: Step 1: Lash Boosting Primer. Lash Serum-infused to boost natural lash condition. Step 2: Ultra-Lengthening Topcoat

I got my hands on the NEW DiorShow Extase Mascara by Dior the Bentley of mascaras and my lashes are loving it! I’m a sucker to a mascara that gives my lashes that instant volume and definition boost. You feel it working right away. My lashes are hitting my brow line at the moment. Fact.

The first mascara to plump lashes inside and out—wear it alone or pair it with your favorite Dior mascaras. DiorShow Extase ($28) provides built-in treatment benefits and high-impact lashes in a single stroke! The spherical-shaped Black Pearl Pigments create a 3D volume effect and the exclusive Metamorphosis Powders expand in size by up to 50% after application. Also, SR38 Patented Ceramid brings additional care, reconstructing damaged lashes and promoting stronger and fuller lashes.

The Extase mascara features a “Tiered Brush” that is inspired by the “tiered” couture dresses created by the House of Dior. The brush is designed for performance and contains an Exclusive Duo of Fibers: The Black Elastomer Fibers brush out and define the lashes for panoramic fringe and the Gold Nylon Fibers hold and deposit formula, generously coating each lash for outstanding volume.

Available now at sephora.com, in Sephora stores from December 26, 2009. Comes in shade black.

COVERGIRL’s new LashBlast Length Mascara creates expertly defined, beautifully separated lashes. The long brush provides more control, plus special product reservoirs at the top of each bristle grasp even the tiniest lashes to lengthen them by up to 80%. The clump-free formula contains nylon fibers, the same material used in expensive lash extensions, to extend your lashes without flaking, smudging or smearing.

You have to see it to believe it! Try on COVERGIRL’s new LashBlast Length Mascara in Daily Makeover’s virtual Makeover Studio now.

The Office’s Jenna Fischer and her makeup artist Vanessa Scali designed a Golden Goddess look that was easy and sexy: Pale, gold skin and a smoky bronze eye. Here’s how to get the look:

SKIN: “I first applied spot foundation only where it was needed using shu uemura’s Nobara Cream Cover Stick Foundation. It gives clean, fresh, flawless coverage. I then used Lancôme’s Effecernes in Light Bisque and Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose. I highlighted her cheek and brow bones with Armani’s Fluid Sheer #2. In the T-zone only, I used shu uemura’s Face Powder in Colorless – matte formula.”

EYES: “For a soft, smoky effect, I used shu uemura’s Pressed Eye Shadow in ME Gold #350 from the lash line to the crease and under the lower lashes. For a bit more depth, I added shu uemura’s ME Brown #855 to the outer corners of the lid. To define and elongate the lash line, I used shu uemura’s Painting Liner in black. I love luxuriously full lashes and gave Jenna’s a boost by adding shu uemura’s Flare False Eyelashes in Black followed by a few generous coats of Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara in Black.”

LIPS: “I used shu uemura’s Rouge Unlimited Supreme Shine in Beige 911.”
