Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Lancome & L'Wren Scott Fall 2011

Mischo Beauty's Top Holiday Nail Color Picks featured on Hot-Coco.com!
Mischo Beauty Award: 2010 Emmy Awards
Face:
Vanessa prepped the skin with Lancome's La Base Pro. To perfect Christina's already luminious skin, Vanessa used Lancome's new Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within Makeup. "It has an amazing transparent quality that leaves the skin looking flawless and luminous without being shy," said Vanessa. "I applied it with a brush and then blended with my fingers." Blending with her fingers heated up the foundation a bit, allowing for a seamless finish. Vanessa followed with Effacernes Concealer under the eyes, her "all time favorite concealer."
Cheeks:
For a fresh pop of color I used Lancome's Blush Subtil Shimmer in Pink Pool on the apples of her cheeks. Dabs of Giorgio Armani Beauty's Fluid Sheer #2 highlighted Christina's cheekbones.
Eyes:
The eye shadow was a mix of YSL's Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in Cashmere Brown and Midnight Black. "I applied there all over her lid, under the bottom lashes and blended it out past her natural lash line to softly elongate the eye," reported Vanessa.
Eye Liner:
To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa lined the eyes with Lancome's Le Crayon Khol in Black. "I used a touch of liner under her bottom lashes but smudged it for a softer look," said Vanessa. For added depth, Vanessa used Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir at the very base of Christina's lashes.
Mascara:
Several generous coats of Lancome's Definicils Waterproof Mascara in Black were used on the top and bottom lashes.
Lips:
Christina's lips were a mix of Lancome lip colors for an effect that Vanessa described as "red with a little dash of pink." A sheer coat of Color Design Matte Lipstick in Corset was topped by Laque Fever Lipshine in Cyber Coral.
I loved her look! Who was your favorite and why?

Mischo Beauty Giveaway: Lancome's Définicils Precious Cells Mascara
As I mentioned yesterday, Lancome is clearly the leader when it comes to mascaras. Yes, there's a mascara that will satisfy your every need, including the new Definicils Precious Cells Mascara. The payoff from this mascara is definitely definition and volume, but it's the first by Lancome to promise to "regenerate the condition of lashes" and "minimize lash loss"! Sounds like a must-try, right?!

Mischo Beauty Pick: Lancome's Teint Idole Fresh Wear Foundation, Ageless Minerale Blush & Definicils Waterproof Mascara
Just about everyone I know, as of late, has been talking about their makeup melting- off their faces that is! This summer has been like no other, with temperatures reaching 90++ degrees daily! And as I mentioned last week, I haven't given up on the "A Healthy, Sexy & Beautiful 2010" challenge. So that means my goal is still to get in at least 10,0000 steps daily- which means taking the stairs instead of elevators, and walking up escalators instead of riding them. So yes, as you can probably imagine, I'm having issues with makeup, too!
At any rate, Lancome has an answer! Their Teint Idole Fresh Wear Foundation is lightweight, oil free, is formulated with an SPF of 15 and protects against humidity. Most importantly the result is a "no makeup" makeup look (I love still being able to see my freckles!). The Ageless Minerale Blush is BEAUTIFUL! I can't begin to tell you how much I love Luminous Rose! It's very sheer and the color payoff is perfect. And we all know that Lancome is known for their collection of mascaras, so Definicils Waterproof is recommended to prevent smudging.
Would love to know what works for you in the heat!

Mischo Beauty Pick: Lancome's Hydra-Intense Masque & Pure Empreinte Masque
If you follow me on Twitter, you know that I gave myself an amazing mini-facial last night! Mini-facials, like facials, are my "essential beauty product"- they're vital to maintaining my skin's health in between facial appointments.
And so the steps are simply:
- Cleanse
- Tone
- Steam
- Exfoliate
- Tone
- Mask
- Tone
- Moisturize
I used a regimen of Lancome products and was impressed with the Pure Empreinte Masque, which is a clay mask (setting) used on my oily t-zone. I also loved the Hydra-Intense Masque, which is a hydrating gel mask (non-setting) used on the remaining areas of my face. Due to the fact that I have a combination skin type (an oily t-zone, with at times a dry forehead and cheeks), most times I'll use two masks during my mini-facials.
So there you have it- easy, easy! And seriously easy enough to do weekly! Have you started a mini-facial routine? If so, please tell us about it! If not, why not?

Mischo Beauty Review: Lancome's Declaring Indigo Ink Artliner & Color Fever Gloss in Piha Black
And I had to tell you all how much I'm loving the Color Fever Gloss in Piha Black! I'm a year late with this review, as it was originally released with the Color Fever Lipstick in Piha Red (the set was inspired by the signature Christian Louboutin pump), with the gloss meant to be worn over the lipstick. Lancome only released 500 sets of the lipstick/lip gloss and I'm not sure if either are still available for purchase.
At any rate, I've tested the gloss, layering it on top of a few red lipsticks of my own, and I love it! It's a "runway" look- definitely meant to be worn by the confident only!
Any thoughts on the eyeliner or lip gloss? Do share!

Mischo Beauty Loves Lancome's Oscillation Mascara & Oscillation Powerbooster
It's a vibrating mascara with a reported 7000 oscillations per minute! You simply apply it like you would your regular mascara and the vibrating wand does all the work. It separates, lengthens and adds volume- and yes, I'm sold. Now in all fairness, I'm using it along with the Oscillation Powerbooster, which is A-MA-ZING.
You all already know I'm a huge fan of the Cils Booster XL, but I've set it to the side to make room for the Oscillation Powerbooster. It's a vibrating lash primer, and it's a must-have! It thickens, lengthens and volumizes- it perfectly prepares your lashes for the next step- mascara. My lashes have looked amazing since using the two together!
If you're using either or both, please let me know your thoughts!

Mischo Beauty: The Lancome Boutique & "“Best Friends Forever” Book Signing
The Lancome boutique hosted a book signing for Jennifer Weiner's new book "Best Friends Forever" and I couldn't pass on the opportunity to meet the author and check out the entire Lancome skincare and makeup collections all in one visit!
The event was held at Lancome's flagship boutique on New York's Upper West Side and was very well attended.
"Best Friends Forever" is Jennifer's seventh book, and this was her very first book signing for it. I later learned that it was most fitting, as Jennifer's favorite makeup products are Lancome's High Definicils Mascara and La Laque Fever Lipshine in Plum Wave.
Now you all know that I believe the secret to a flawless complexion is a consistent skincare regimen, so naturally I was drawn to check out all of Lancome's skincare options! Remember my GENIFIQUE giveaway?
As I chatted with Jennifer and browsed Lancome's offerings, all guests were treated to champagne and delicious mini-cupcakes.
And I'm sure you all know by now that Arlenis Sosa is the new face for Lancome's La Laque Fever (she's on the cover of Vogue (Germany) May 2009- see my left column) and the shades included in the collection are beautiful!
The event was lovely! My very best wishes to Jennifer- and a very special "thank you" to Lancome for making me feel right at home!

I'm so excited about Lancome's launch of the Oscillation Powerbooster, which is a vibrating lash primer. I told you all how amazing the Cils Booster XL is, so I can only imagine the results from using the Oscillation Powerbooster... stay tuned for my review!
