Prescriptives Lustre Holiday Color Collection 2009

Prescriptives lights up the holidays with shimmering new shades for the season.  The Prescriptives Lustre Holiday Color Collection features golden tones in pearlized eyeshadows, shimmering cheek shades that dazzle and glimmering lip colors that are nothing less than glamorous and sophisticated.  Get ready to sparkle!

The Prescriptives Lustre Holiday Collection includes:

3 New Moisturizers that give comfort to Sensitive Skin!

The change of the seasons is typically when skin tends to act up and become irritated or break out.  As the air outside gets colder, we spend more time indoors and people with sensitive skin definitely notice the difference.  Luckily, there are several new moisturizers for sensitive skin types that can help ease the seasonal transition.

New from Prescriptives is Comfort Cream, soothing relief for sensitive skin, including those with Rosacea.  Prescriptives Comfort Cream has been reformulated to be more soothing and calming than ever before. Comfort Cream immediately soothes and calms skin while providing intensive moisture. Skin moisturizers and plant and algae extracts help to relieve irritated skin that tends to be red and dehydrated.  $39.50

Also new from Prescriptives, Comfort Night works with skin’s night repair rhythms to help correct the appearance of skin damage and reduce the look of lines and wrinkles. Comfort Night hydrates skin with a luxurious, non-greasy treatment that infuses moisture into the skin while calming and soothing to decrease sensitivity and irritation. Skin wakes up nourished, hydrated, healthy… ready to face the day’s aggressors!  $45.00

Prescriptives Comfort Cream and Comfort Night are available at Prescriptives counters and at Prescriptives.com

Guinot Institut has introduced Crème Red Logic, which reduces the appearance of redness and irritation on the skin.  Crème Red Logic strengthens the epidermis and the skin’s natural defenses using key ingredients including Aloe Vera which moisturizes and Calendula, known for it's soothing and comforting properties. In addition to reinforcing the epidermis, Crème Red Logic also promotes microcirculation through a proprietary complex called Veinoderm, which contains anti-redness, toning and redness-diffusing properties. 

Guinot Institut Crème Red Logic retails at $40 and is available at www.guinotusa.com.

Prescriptives Pink Ribbon Palette for Cheeks and Eyes

Prescriptives offers the Pink Ribbon Palette for Cheeks and Eye; an all-in-one makeup palette that includes four gorgeous eye colors and 2 cheek colors, presented in a limited-edition Breast Cancer Awareness pink compact. 

We were all saddened by the news that the Prescriptives brand would be closing operations next year and the beautiful makeup shades in the Pink Ribbon Palette are just one of the reasons that I will miss it.  The eyeshadow and cheek colors are beautiful and very wearable.  A $100 value, at $48.50 this palette is a great buy.

Prescriptives will donate $20,000 in connection with North American sales of the PX Pink Ribbon Palette for Cheeks and Eyes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  You can find this palette at Prescriptives counters in the USA and at www.prescriptives.com.

Prescriptives Well-Suited Fall 2009 Color Collection

 

Prescriptives introduces Well-Suited; a Fall Color Collection that takes it's inspiration from the tailored world of menswear.  Well-Suited takes an edgy, feminine influence and features a range of sophisticated shades from tweedy brown to silky purples. 

Prescriptives Well-Suited Collection includes:

• Well-Suited Color Compact, available in Warm, Cool or Neutral   $40
• Well-Suited Finishing Powder   $28
• Longwear Kohl Liner, available in Black Kohl, Slate Kohl, Brown Kohl and Blue Kohl   $17.50
• Colorscope Lipcolor, available in Posh Nude, Posh Pink, Posh Honey and Posh Ginger   $17.50

I've been previewing the Well-Suited Color Compact in Cool, which includes eyeshadow colors of Shell, Velour, Pinstripe, Cassis and Blackberry.  I've always loved Prescriptives shadows and these colors are smokey and beautiful.  Used with the creamy Longwear Kohl Liner, you can go from a daytime look to sexy evening look in a flash.  The Longwear Kohl Liner is smudge-resistant and waterproof, so it's perfect for inner-rim or outer lashline.  Take it from me--this liner does not budge.  That's so hard to find!

Another favorite is the Well-Suited Finishing Powder, which is a translucent pressed powder with a texturized finish.  It's an excellent finishing powder and perfect to tuck into your purse for touch ups.

The Prescriptives Well-Suited Fall 2009 Color Collection is available now at Prescriptives counters nationwide, exclusively at Holt Renfrew in Canada and at Prescriptives.com.
