Ok, so we JUST wrote about Votre Vu the other day, but the products are so great that we’re mentioning them again. This time, we can’t stop raving about Duetto.

duetto.jpgDuetto is an awesome two-in-one product— one part luxe lip balm to one part rich hand cream.

The balm is light yet deeply nourishing, and makes your lips super soft. It’s made from coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax, protects with UV filters, and is lightly flavored with coconut. Yum! There’s also a mini-mirror in the lid for easy application.

The hand cream is a concentrated version of their wildly popular Tarte D’Amande body cream, which smells like almond pie and gives you the softest hands ever. Seriously, like silk. The richly moisturizing formula is made of sunflower, grapeseed, and jojoba, combined with aloe to soothe and UV filters for ultimate in anti-aging protection.

The coolest part (as if you weren’t sold already) is the genius packaging. The double lid design allows you to nourish lips and hands with little effort. Flip the top portion for lips, and the middle for hands.

macpretapapier.jpgMAC Cosmetics’ new summer 2010 collection has arrived and is perfect for those of you aiming for a more neutral look. As was expected, the collection entitled Pre-a-papier and inspired by ‘Craft Paper Couture’, encompasses a very muted palette and includes the usual suspects — from lipstick to nail nail lacquers to paint pots — all in very subtle tones. The stand out pieces are the Paint Pot in Soft Coral and the Lipstick in Dressmaker — both soft, dreamy corals.

If you’re into bold, stand out colors then this might not be the collection for you. But overall — we’re digging this muted palette and will be pairing it with our favorite summer looks!
Available online at MacCosmetics.com and Nordstrom.com.
pgone.jpgMaybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s…Burberry?

The famed British fashion label will introduce Burberry Beauty this summer, which will include blush, pressed powder, bronzer, powder foundation, liquid foundation, eye shadow, eyeliner, lip gloss, lipliner, lipstick and mascara.

Burberry’s Christopher Bailey told WWD: “It started because I felt that, at shows and the shoots, the whole attitude is epitomized through the shoes, the bags, the clothes, the accessories, but then the face was the one thing I really struggled with. When we were doing makeup, I felt like we weren’t able to get the right attitude. It was either caked-on makeup or then just the wrong colors, the wrong tones, the wrong spirit for makeup. I wanted it to be this kind of effortless elegance. Like the trenchcoat, it can be worn anywhere and at any time.”

The trench theme is recurring throughout the collection, down to the details. Its beige outer cartons are reminiscent of the coat’s fabric, while the packaging itself is etched with the brand’s signature check plaid. The trench swayed the designer’s choice of makeup shades, too. “I liked the idea of taking the trenchcoat and the weather as the two things that influence and define the colors,” said Bailey. “You’ve got the naturals from the trenchcoats and from the weather you’ve got these beautiful stormy grays and stormy blues. Then, when the sun comes out, you’ve got this glow and you’ve got lighter tones, as well.

The coordinating campaign, shot by famed photographer Mario Testino, features models Lily Donaldson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Nina Porter sporting Burberry trenchcoats. Multiple versions of the ad were shot, with each image incorporating a different makeup focus.

The collection will retail between $24 (lipliner) to $59 (foundation) at U.S. Nordstrom locations beginning in July.

Move over Miami…Jenny is back on the block just in time for your Spring scent update.

jlo-blueglowcollection-590.jpg

Blue Glow by JLo is inspired by the floral and fruit base that her first Glow scent is famous for. Notes of mangosteen, valencia orange, and red current blossom are blended with water lily, vintage rose and vanilla orchid, and then anchored by the sultriness of cedar and mahogany.

If the small alone doesn’t get you excited, then the bottle should: the dark blue ocean-inspired bottle is draped by a sexy silver anklet meant to be removed and worn, or if you prefer, left on the bottle to dress up your vanity.

Blue Glow is the fifth fragrance in Lopez’s Glow line, which also includes original Glow, Sunkissed Glow, My Glow, and the (sadly) discontinued Miami Glow, a fave of ours.

$27.50 to $59.50, FragranceNet.
