MURAD SKINCARE RECYCLING – EARTH DAY 2011 GO GREEN CAMPAIGN

MURAD SINGAPORE EARTH DAY Recycling Go Green 2011 Campaign – Recycle and be rewarded with Murad Skincare samples suitable for your skin type when your return your used skincare glass/plastic bottles at Murad counters.

Be Green this Spring with Murad Skincare. As part of Murad Earth Day 2011 Recycling efforts, Murad is encouraging everyone to care for the environment and to heighten consumers’ awareness in creating a greener planet by leading a more eco-friendly lifestyle and reducing carbon footprints.

A simple step to take is to reduce water bottle usage and “eat water”

Try to replace one glass of water a day with a raw fruit or vegetable, instead of seeking hydration from plastic bottles. Dr. Murad suggests that we take steps to improve the hydration and general health of the entire body by tending to the health of cells. Eat foods that are rich in structured water, such as raw fruits and vegetables as they help the body hold on to water longer and also provide the added boost of important antioxidents, fiber and other nutrients.

 

Simply drop off your used plastic or glass skincare bottles (ANY brand) at Murad counters located at BHG Bugis, Metro Paragon, Robinson Centrepoint or TARA apothecary to redeem your Murad Skincare Samples from now till 22nd April 2011, while stocks last. All collected bottles will be sent to recycling companies to ensure proper recycling.

5 SECRETS FOR LUSCIOUS LASHES

It’s no secret that eyes are windows to the soul. Dress your beautiful eyes with makeup and play up your lashes to enhance your features. Here are 5 secrets for luscious lashes to complete your look.

 

Most Asians have short sparse lashes. To achieve long luscious lashes, One need not go for expensive eyelash extensions. Beauty products to the rescue !

#1 CURL YOUR LASHES

After your eye makeup, always curl your lashes. Place the curler just above your lash line, grip your lashes and curl them in 3 parts - inner, centre and outer. You will noticed that your lashes are lifted in a nice natural curve. Popular Eyelash curlers suitable for Asian eyes include Shu Uemura, Sana Excel Power Style 39mm Eyelash Curler and Shiseido/Maquillage.

#2 USE AN EYELASH PRIMER

Coat your lashes with a eyelash primer. Besides prepping you lashes for easy application of mascara, it helps to pump, curl and strengthen your lashes and your mascara stays on longer. Wait for the lash primer to dry completely before applying mascara. Eyelash Primer that i recommend includes DIORSHOW Maximizer, Lancôme Cils Booster XL Mascara Base, Maquillage Full Version Lash Bone and Majolica Majorca Lash Bone Black Fiber In.

       

#3 COAT YOUR LASHES WITH MASCARA

Choose your mascara according to the effect you would like to create – Volumizing, Lengthening, Curling or all of it. Apply the mascara in 3 parts – inner, central and outer lashes with a zigzag motion to increase lash separation for clump free lashes and wide eye flattering 3D look. 2 thin coats for a natural look or pile it up for dramatic eyes.

Always work on one eye first and then the other eye so that your mascara is completely dry before your 2nd coat. For lower lashes, apply light feather strokes vertically. Top Picks include YSL Faux Effect volume mascara, Chanel Exceptionnel De Chanel, DIORSHOW EXTASE, RMK Extra Deep W Mascara, Anna Sui Super Black Long lash, Clinique High Impact Mascara and Déjàvu Fiberwig Extra Long Mascara.

#4 FALSIES TO THE RESCUE

For more pocket friendly quality lashes, Stage Cosmetics and iNuovi have a good selection to bring you from office to a glam night out.

BENEFIT COSMETICS - Maggie and Annie Ford Danielson, the Global Makeup Trend Artists and Brand Authorities of Benefit Cosmetics were in Singapore last week for the Press Preview of Cha-Cha Tint as well as meeting Benefit Cosmetics Fans at Tangs Orchard and Sephora ION.

Thanks to the lovely folks at BENEFIT Cosmetics Singapore, BEAUTERUNWAY attended a cozy intimate luncheon with Maggie and Annie Ford Danielson held at Mezza 9, Grand Hyatt Singapore. Maggie and Annie are the daughters of Jean Ford and nieces of Jane Ford who are the founders of Benefit Cosmetics. Growing up with Jean and Jane, its only natural that Maggie and Annie took over the reins to continue Benefit Cosmetics legacy. Benefit cosmetics currently have over 2,000 counters in more than 30 countries.

BENETINT – The famous product that started it all !

A rosy lip and cheek stain created in 1977 by Jane and Jean Ford after an exotic dancer had come into one of the sisters’ boutiques looking for a nipple stain that wouldn’t sweat off. Bene-tint, which gives the complexion just the right rosy glow, has been one of the cosmetics line’s best-sellers ever since. Maggie and Annie never leave home without it !

Maggie shared that Benefit Cosmetics core business is makeup and to deliver quick fixes for every girl peskiest beauty dilemmas globally to make them feel beautiful and confident. Today, Benefit Cosmetics are managed by Maggie in New York, who oversees the overall operations and Annie who specials in product development, including christening of the Benefit Cosmetics new effective products with fun, quirky, playful names and colorful packaging with printed instructions, together with her dedicated team in San Francisco.

An extremely consumer-oriented brand, Maggie explains why Benefit have developed only 200 odd product lineup compared to thousands in other beauty brands. For example, a makeup product is only developed when there is a need. Benefit only introduced its b.right skincare range for radiant skin recently to be used in harmony with Benefit Cosmetics products for a true Benefit Routine as BeneFans requested. In line with Benefit Cosmetics fun philosophy, all products have fun and quirky names.

An interesting tidbit is that if you are a Benefit Cosmetics Fan, you will notice that there are no adverts in any media nor celebrity endorsements, Benefit philosophy is preferring to let the products speak for themselves. Maggie and Annie  continues to plough their time and monies into developing new products that women desires. With the hot and humid Asia weather in mind, ""That Gal" Brightening Face Primer, Stay dont stray Eye Primer & concealer and POREfessional are developed to cater for Asian skintones and concerns particularly in Singapore, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong and South Korea.
