My morning started with this face cleanser: REN Micro Polish Cleanser and it’s simply lovely. It exfoliates skin with amber microbeads, they feel gentle. It lathers nicely but not too much to a point where it’s hard to rinse off. And it has a citrus refreshing scent. Other Bio Active ingredients include: Papaya Enzyme, Glycolic and Lactic Acid, Arctic Seabuckthorn Oil.

CHANEL is taking skin rejuvenation to the next level with the introduction of SUBLIMAGE Essential Revitalizing Concentrate, a ground-breaking new serum empowered by Golden Champa PFA, an ultra-pure ingredient derived from the legendary Golden Flower of the Himalayas, which has been used in traditional Amchi medicine for centuries to help revitalize the body. Purified to its most potent essence, this natural ingredient decongests cells and frees them of toxins, restoring them to their most vital, youthful state.

THE GOLDEN FLOWER

In northern India, on the ridges of the Himalayas, at an altitude of 3,000 meters, grows the Golden Flower. This flower is a treasure from nature revealed by amchi medicine. It has many extraordinary properties that place it atop of the amchis’ list of therapeutic plants. This legendary flower is renowned for its exceptional revitalizing and detoxifying benefits.

It has the power to eliminate toxins while also restoring energy and balance to the body, allowing it to function properly. The Golden Flower of the Himalayas is used intensively in traditional medicine, in the form of pills or an infusion. It is also used topically in the form of an ointment. In this latter form, it is applied to the skin to purify and boost immune defenses. CHANEL Research was inspired to apply these properties to skin care.

XAVIER ORMANCEY – DISCOVERING LADAKH

Xavier Ormancey, Director of Active Ingredient Research at CHANEL is a man with a passion for ethnobotany. In 2005, he traveled to a distant and inaccessible region in the Indian Himalayas called Ladakh, a hotspot of biodiversity, where he discovered the Golden Flower, a rare and gorgeous bloom with legendary “heal-all” properties which has been used in traditional Tibetan medicine – or amchi – for centuries. The Golden Flower, which is in the same family as the magnolia, is loaded with flower esters and became the inspiration for Xavier to create the potent new Sublimage Essential Regenerating Concentrate.

CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES

CHANEL has always partnered with the communities in which it harvests its fragrance and beauty ingredients, and Ladakh, a place where both natural resources and traditional medicine are in danger, is benefiting from CHANEL’s presence as it partners to conserve Ladakh’s natural resources and cultural richness. With the help of a local NGO, the Ladakh Society for Traditional Medicine, CHANEL and Ormancey are preserving the region’s botanical heritage, protecting the Golden Flower, and supporting the study and dissemination of amchi medicine to amplify the health and well-being of Ladakh’s local population.

Jennifer Aniston’s Makeup: CHANEL Celebrity Makeup Artist Angela Levin worked with Jennifer Aniston at the Los Angeles premiere of The Switch on Monday, August 16th, 2010. Talking Makeup has the scoop on how to get miss Aniston’s fresh, radiant red carpet makeup look.

Jennifer Aniston’s makeup at the Los Angeles premiere of The Switch by Celebrity Makeup Artist Angela Levin:

“I first prepped Jen’s face with the new CHANEL Sublimage Concentrate, to enhance her already radiant skin. Her base was La Mer Foundation in 06, and on her cheeks I dusted a bit of CHANEL Powder Blush in Rose Pétale. On her eyes I used CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Tentation Cuivré, a rich brown and copper shadow palette new for Holiday. The warm shades compliment Jen’s gorgeous eye colour.

Starting from the inner corners of her lashes, I blended the shadow out, going from light to dark. For the liner, I used Tarte Clay Pot Eyeliner in Black. Finally, to make her blue eyes really pop, I finished with three coats of

CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir. I applied one coat, then brushed out the lashes, a second coat, again brushed out the lashes, and finally a third coat using a fan brush. Jen’s lips were natural with CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Cashmere, a beigey peach shade, and Kevyn Aucoin Lip Pencil in Bare.”

These last few weeks of summer is all about looking good —whether you’re channeling poolside chic or beach beautiful.

How To Get Tinsley Mortimer’s hairstyle:

Lavetta created a playful french braided headband that’s easy to recreate at home — just start the braid at the crown and work across the head until you reach the top of the ear, leaving out the side pieces as you work along.

Then Lavetta added in a slight wave to Tinsley’s face framing layers using a large barrel iron, and finally, finishing with Kim Vo Perfect Polish Dry Serum to infuse shine and help keep frizz and flyaways at bay (ulta.com; $55).

In Marta Walsh makeup bag: MAC Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour in Sappho (left side) and Mirror (right side). I apply Mirror the white shimmery side on top of Sappho or any other lip gloss and it makes my lip gloss LASTS a lot longer if I wouldn’t! Love love love.

MAC Prep + Prime Skin Brightening Serum is like liquid silk which works amazing under makeup or without. It has already found a place in MAC Senior Artist Romero Jennings‘ makeup kit. “The brightening serum adds a great slip to the foundation, so it glides on easily, and almost seems to ill in depressed areas with hydration,” he says.

I love applying NIVEA body Good-bye Cellulite Gel-Cream to my tummy area, thighs (and buttocks). It feels so cooling and moisturizing. I use this even though I don’t have any cellulite (please don’ hate me) but because it feels good and I think of prevention. Same when in my mid 20s I began using anti aging creams and potions ‘just in case’. Does this sound familiar?

The ‘secret ingredient’ in NIVEA body Good-bye Cellulite Gel-Cream is L-Carnitine which is found naturally in the skin and supports the conversion of fat into energy. NIVEA Research has now made L-Carnitine available in a gel-cream. Fascinating. You might also like the NIVEA Good-bye Cellulite Fast Acting Serum.
