Dove Real Beauty partners with "The Women" Movie

Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty has been one of encouragement, acceptance and empowerment for women of all ages.  Now, Dove has partnered with the upcoming movie, "The Women".  "The Women" is a film made by women, for women, that depicts the powerful impact of female friendships. 

Dove has produced a short documentary titled The Women Behind "The Women" .  In it, a 16-year old student journalist from Red Wing, Minnesota visits the set of "The Women" and interviews the stars of the movie--Annette Bening, Deborah Messing, Meg Ryan and Jada Pinkett Smith on real beauty versus the manufactured beauty of Hollywood. 

A fun surprise was seeing Julie Hewett in the documentary! She is the Makeup Department Head on "The Women" movie and is fond of saying "It's not easy being a natural beauty--it takes all day!".  The Women Behind "The Women"  is a powerful documentary and I really enjoyed watching it.  You can find The Women Behind "The Women" documentary here.

After looking at The Women Behind "The Women", I definitely plan to see the movie.  And I'll be calling a bunch of my girlfriends to make it a night out.  Why not celebrate our real beauty together?  "The Women"  opens in theatres on September 12, 2008.  Don't miss it!

Peter Thomas Roth: Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder Gets Smart!

Peter Thomas Roth New Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder…

is it makeup?  A treatment product containing anti-aging peptide technology?  A prop that plays a part in the new Get Smart movie?  All of the above!

 

Skincare innovator Peter Thomas Roth debuts the newest product in the Un-Wrinkle anti-aging line with a triple-milled translucent powder.  The Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder improves the overall look of the skin by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles and expression lines.  It’s formulated to be non-drying to the skin, and helps to absorb oil to create a soft, matte finish.  The Pressed Powder includes the six powerful anti-aging peptides found in the Un-Wrinkle product line and in addition, includes vitamins A, C and E and mica.

 

The exclusive Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder compact will be used by Agent 99, played by Anne Hathaway, in a key scene in the upcoming June 20 release of the movie Get Smart.  The Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder (retail $35) will be available in a special limited edition Get Smart Try Me kit featured on QVC this weekend.  If you haven't tried the Un-Wrinkle line from Peter Thomas Roth, this kit is a great introduction.  I've used the Un-Wrinkle Serum and the Peel Pads and can highly recommend the Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle anti-aging line.
