MAC Cosmetics Has Announced The Launch Of A Newly Designed Website That Fuses Art And E-Commerce

The website redesign includes a number of new ground-breaking technological features as well as launching a collection of Christmas 2009 gift sets, MAC Palettes and makeup shades for the festive season.

“Websites act as their own entity and they tell you when they want to be redesigned,” said James Gager, Senior Vice President/Creative Director, M·A·C Worldwide. “We looked at the M·A·C website in its entirety and wanted to redesign it in a way that was interactive and playful yet still very M·A·C. We incorporated new technologies that engage our customers in a way that they haven’t been before, by playing with vibrant colour, incorporating videos, and adding edgy new collection and product visuals that will make a serious impact.”

One of the key new features reinforces MAC’s authority in colour with the new Colour Play feature, which is unique to the website.

A second innovation to the site lets the consumer learn how to professionally apply their favourite MAC blush or eye shadow with MAC’s new brush finder; an interactive tool that allows consumers to educate themselves on the various brush types in order to choose one that will best suit their specific needs.

Continuing with the theme of educating the customer, MAC has launched a series of ‘How to’ videos in which MAC’s Senior Makeup Artists offer their expertise via step-by-step tutorials that provide makeup tips, techniques and detailed product benefits; from learning how to apply MAC eyelashes to creating the perfect red lip.

The Christmas colour collection boasts an array of pretty pastels for the lips and smokey purple tones to adorn the eyes.

New Visible Brilliance By Elemis

British spa and skincare brand Elemis has launched the latest product in its skincare range: an innovative skin radiance booster suitable for all skin types and ages.

With the skin containing minerals that are important in maintaining a healthy glow, Visible Brilliance from Elemis aims to bring brightness and luminosity back to skin that has been damaged by environmental pollution and lifestyle stresses. This new skin radiance booster from Elemis actively targets the skin’s metabolism to brighten, lift and re-energise fatigued and stressed skin.

Harnessing the power of multi-minerals including Copper, Zinc and Magnesium combined with Red Seaweed, Swiss Garden Cress, Blonde Pea Protein and Dew Bean, it restores and repairs the skin for instant radiance.

Noella Gabriel, Director of Product and Treatment at Elemis, commented: “Everyone’s lifestyle manifests itself in different ways. As a result, today’s ‘modern skin’ reflects the signs of stress, pollution, medication and early menopause. The skin starts looking dull, lifeless and imbalanced. To restore radiance we wanted to develop a lightweight serum that is easily absorbed and power-packed with minerals and vitamins that are key to the improvement of skin function and cell renewal. With Visible Brilliance, customers will see an instant glow.”

Upon application in the morning and evening, users of the new serum will notice an iridescent gold and silver appearance, resulting in a translucent glow to the skin. When combined with Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, the serum also helps to create an ideal base for makeup application.

Ventura Tan’s sunless airbrush tanning is a growing business that prides itself on offering the best quality products for those seeking an authentic sunless tan.

“With summer coming, many of us want to reveal a bit more skin after the long winter months, and are looking to get a nice, tanned physique, “ says Christie Chang, owner, Ventura Tan. “Ventura Tan’s sunless airbrush tanning gives a more natural tanned look than spray tanning and is a safer alternative to conventional sun tanning.

This includes sunless tanning spray, body wash, tan extenders, Pineapple Dew Exfoliant, Vitamin E Butter and more. The Princess Line also offers “Tan In A Can” which delivers a nice, even tan without getting that nasty orange coloring that other tanning lotions might leave. “Tan In A Can” is available in “Beach” and “Natural” coloring.

Clinique Has Launched Its New Sun Care With Solarsmart To Protect Against Both UVB And UVA Rays

The new Clinique Sun Care with SolarSmart range now offers a comprehensive defense against harmful UV rays with 3:1 technology, where UVB protection is three times proportional to UVA protection.

The ratio 3:1 ensures an appropriate amount of UVA protection. Formulated with Clinique’s new Proprietary SolarSmart Technology, a unique blend of photostable sun screens designed to help skin defend itself from UV assault.

“There is no harmless amount of sun exposure for the skin. Even small daily amounts of UV exposure contribute to photo-ageing and damage to the skin. In fact, we now believe that about 80% of the skin changes we perceive as ‘ageing’ are due to sun exposure. This is why daily sun protection is crucial all year long, regardless of season”, commented Dr David Orentreich, Clinique’s Guiding Dermatologist.

The range of UV protection factors and forms has been designed to fit any individual’s lifestyle and preference. The non-greasy sun protection formulas are oil-free, water and sweat-resistant, non-pore clogging and appropriate even for those with sensitive skin.

In addition to the new Solarsmart sun creams, Clinique is introducing its new Self Sun Collection for women who are looking for a gorgeous, believable glow without exposure to the sun’s damaging rays. And, with a variety of formulations and delivery systems, Clinique offers easy-to-use, targeted solutions for every self-tan preference.

“Two-thirds of my patients seek treatment for damage caused by unprotected exposure to the sun from years before. I like to tell my patients that the safest tan comes in a bottle and that self-tanners are an excellent way to achieve the look of a tan without the harmful effects of sun exposure”, concluded Dr Orentreich.

Elemis Has Announced Details Of Its New See The Difference Eye Duo Set, Featuring Products Designed To Prevent The Signs Of Stress, Tiredness And Ageing Around The Eye Area

The new limited edition eye care set from Elemis features an Absolute Eye Serum, containing absolutes of rosewood, osmanthus, lavender and chamomile which helps to decongest and reduce dark circles and puffiness around the eye area whilst gently preserving, lifting and refining the eye tissue.

Also contained within the set f r o m Elemis is Pro Collagen Eye Renewal, a lightweight cream-gel that’s clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area by up to 60% in just 28 days*.

When combined, the Absolute Eye Serum and Pro Collagen Eye Renewal Cream create a synergy of potent seaweeds to help moisturise and increase the firmness of the skin around the eyes.

Both products are recommended to be applied by gently dabbing around the eye contour using the ring finger as this yields the lightest pressure to avoid dragging the delicate skin around the eye. When used as part of a daily regime in the morning and evening the ‘See the Difference’ Eye Duo can help to protect and repair the skin around the eyes, preventing signs of stress and ageing.

The ‘See the Difference’ Eye Duo is a strictly limited edition and will only be available f r o m the 4th – 31st May at spas, salons, selected retail outlets nationwide and online, and comes presented in a faux leather jewellery box.

Jo Malone Launches Second Edition Kohdo Wood Collection

The World of Jo Malone introduces the second season of the limited edition Kohdo Wood Collection. Two captivating fragrances created as a modern interpretation of the ancient Japanese incense ceremony of Kohdo: the ritual appreciation of incense.

One of the three formalised Japanese arts, Kohdo is a ritual that has been handed down f r o m generation to generation in Japanese society, taking over thirty years to master.

Today, the Kohdo ceremony is a journey of discovery that is made with friends, where moods are manipulated according to the natures and personalities of scents. The blend of ingredients in the day and night fragrances have been designed to inspire the senses and encourage emotions. For the day: uplifting and invigorating, and for the night: soothing and sensual.

Through a blend of mandarin, sacred lotus blossom, bamboo and aloeswood, Lotus Blossom & Water Lily – Kohdo Wood day will awaken the senses, encourage energy, inspire confidence and focus the mind, making it the perfect daytime scent.

Mandarin has a vibrant and lively nature, referred to as the little heart of the sun, it is thought to shed light on the drudgeries of the everyday and encourage a sense of joy. The sacred lotus blossom is serene and spiritual, symbolising the dawning of a new day. Bamboo offers strength and grace and aloeswood is believed to impart both mental and physical benefits to balance the mind and body.

Dark Amber & Ginger Lily – the night fragrance in The Kohdo Wood Collection – is a combination of black cardamom, orchid and kyara wood and is designed to encourage relaxation, it’s sensual and calming aura creating a sense of intrigue and mystery. It is the perfect scent to use f r o m early evening through to night.

Originally used as a perfume in ancient times, black cardamom has an aromatic and smoky nature, while the orchid carries a universal message of beauty and wisdom. As a base for incense, kyara wood is prized for its rarity and richness and its character embodies the true historical and cultural significance of the Kohdo ceremony. It is both relaxing and stimulating, an essence that’s said to be appropriate for meditation and celebration. This dark and sensual mix signifies refinement and perfection and brings the essence of evening to this night scent.

Like all Jo Malone Fragrances, Jo Malone Kohdo Wood Collection will be available to purchase online f r o m the beginning of April. Lotus Blossom & water Lily is available in a Shower Gel, Cologne and Home Candle while Dark Amber & Ginger Lily is available in a Bathing Soak, Cologne and Home Candle.

About Jo Malone: In 1994 Jo Malone opened her first store at 154 Walton Street London, selling a collection of personal fragrances, skin care and a selection of Scented Candles and bath & body products. Today the World of Jo Malone continues to both constantly challenge convention and educate on the way that fragrance can enhance everyday lives.

Beautiful packaging and thoughtful presentation is synonymous with the Jo Malone brand. F r o m the first moment the iconic gift bag with signature bow is received, a sensorial journey begins. A Jo Malone gift is the perfect pleasure, a luxurious way to create a lasting memory.

The New Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask By Elemis

Elemis, the pioneering British spa and skin care brand, has unveiled its new Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask, which is due for release in April 2009.

Elemis has recognised the problem of the skin’s cell renewal process declining as people age. In 2006, after three years of research, Elemis launched a skin care programme that facilitated natural cell renewal of the dead skin cells to reveal a fresher, more radiant skin. This range was the Tri-Enzyme Programme which won several beauty awards after its launch including being voted the CEW Best New Skincare range 2007.

Following on from this success is Elemis’ latest innovation; the new Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Gel Mask. This new product is a highly active gel based mask that combines the Elemis-patented Tri-Enzyme Technology with anti ageing Tetra Peptide, Amazonian Acerola Cherry, White Truffle, Great Burdock, Erysiumum and amino acids to encourage effective resurfacing of the skin’s surface.

Elemis Tri-Enzyme Technology adapts to the individual’s micro flora and skin condition, an important factor given that everyone’s skin is different. When the skin’s acid mantle drops below 4.5pH, enzymatic action decreases dramatically, resulting in rapid ageing. Elemis Tri-Enzyme Technology uses the synergy of Organic Acids with micro-encapsulated enzymes to support the micro flora enabling safe and highly effective skin resurfacing.

Noella Gabriel, Elemis’ Director of Product and Treatment Development, said: “After years of research we wanted to bring clients a resurfacing gel mask that is an active system to ‘take home’. Sadly, in the last few years, we have constantly been confronted with customers suffering with damaged skin from too harsh and abrasive treatments which have left their skin unsafely thin on the surface, very sensitive and in need of TLC. At Elemis we are proud to be able to offer a safe, yet powerful resurfacing programme that works naturally with the skin’s natural resources. It is our promise that we only create products that adapt to the individual’s skin as everyone’s skin is different. This Gel Mask gives skin a remarkable, visible radiance.”

The Try-Enzyme Programme includes a resurfacing homecare regime designed to address concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, acne and superficial scarring and uneven pigmentation.

Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser By Clinique

For the past decade, Clinique scientists have worked with leading institutions from around the world to develop a revolutionary way to help slow down the visible signs of ageing while simultaneously promoting skin’s natural ability for cellular repair.

Armed with this cutting edge research and ground-breaking knowledge of Sirtuins, naturally occurring agents found in the skin which can lead to a youthful appearance, Clinique has been able to create a comprehensive anti-ageing skin care product for the woman looking to slow down the hands of time.

Clinique introduces the new patent-pending Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser. Inspired by Sirtuin activation technology and anti-glycation science and including UVA/UVB SPF 15 sun protection, the new Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser is a comprehensive anti ageing skin care product that helps to enable skin to prevent and repair the visible signs of ageing simultaneously. Sirtuins are vital to helping extend the function and life of cells. So vital, in fact, that they are known as “longevity genes”.

Inspired by this Sirtuin technology, new Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser features a complex which is proprietary to Clinique to help visibly restore a youthful look to ageing skin. Using Isonicotinamide, skin’s natural defense capabilities are heightened.

The new Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser also helps skin to boost its natural collagen production, maintain existing collagen, and correct the look of lines and wrinkles more effectively, delivering visible results faster.

Sugars found in ageing skin bind to proteins and form Advanced Glycation End-products(AGEs). The formation of AGEs contributes to the ageing process by exacerbating theaccumulation of damage to the skin. New Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser contains anti-glycation technology. This deceptive “double agent” technology works to help skin protect fragile and healthy natural collagen and elastin so the skin’s look of resilience and suppleness is maintained.

One of the biggest contributors to visible ageing is the sun. New Youth Surge SPF 15 AgeDecelerating Moisturiser contains photo-stable UV protection which helps skin resistpremature ageing by helping to guard against the UVA “ageing” rays which cause futurelines and wrinkles.

While no one can reverse ageing, new Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser can certainly slow its appearance down. With use, skin’s visible texture looks improved and noticeably firmer over time. Skin looks younger longer, by visibly correcting the appearance of past damage and delaying future signs of ageing.

The new Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser is available in three skin-typedformulas.

Very Dry to Dry Skin Types – a luxuriously, velvety cream that delivers intense moisturewhile providing comfort and cushion.

Dry Combination Skin Types – an ultra soft, emollient cream with a whipped texture tomoisturise and protect skin, leaving it soft and supple.

Combination Oily to Oily Skin Types – an exceptionally lightweight cream delivering moisture where it is needed most, leaving skin soft, smooth and feeling fresh. Oil-free.

Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturiser is available at Clinique counters nationwide from 1 March 2009

Elemis Has Added To Its Anti Ageing Body Care Range With The Introduction Of The New Pro-Collagen Body Serum Intensive Lift

Studies have shown that as skin ages, collagen and elastin degenerate and cell cohesion loosens as the skin loses calcium. Pro-Collagen Body Serum Intensive Lift is a non-sticky, easily absorbed gel-serum that stimulates the fibroblasts (network of skin fibres) to speed up cell-communication and aid the production of collagen and elastin.

The serum harnesses micro-lattice technology which has been designed specifically for the body to target ageing skin. The technology uses Mexican skin tree and amino acids to strengthen the cohesion between skin layers. A lattice forms to protect against external forces while the acids stimulate the skin’s Natural Moisture Factor (NMF).

As part of the Pro-Collagen range, Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Serum Intensive Lift is an anti ageing product designed to restore skin firmness and elasticity to instantly tighten slackened skin of the buttocks, abdomen, arms and neckline.

Noella Gabriel, the director of product and treatment development at Elemis, said: “An ageing skin is a thinning skin and as skin ages it starts to slacken and lose elasticity. Whatever your age, stress levels effect your skin so good skin maintenance is a must.

“Elemis recognises that consumers are more aware, educated and sophisticated in their needs from a body product than ever before. Not only do they want to moisturise but want to address their anti ageing concerns. I am very excited to have created a product to meet this demand.”

Noella continued, “We at Elemis have sourced natural, powerful ingredients from around the world to deliver a super soft after-feel on the skin, designed to be layered without feeling the overload.”

The natural ingredients used in the new body serum include paracress (a flower bud originating from South Africa), peptide pea pods (which stimulate skin firmness and elasticity while reinforcing the skin’s natural moisture) and acacia gum (which creates an immediate skin tightening effect and wrinkle filler).

The full Elemis anti ageing body care range, which was originally launched in February 2008, also contains Elemis Pro Collagen Radiantly Smooth Body Cream and Pro-Collagen Hand and Nail Cream.

About Elemis:
Created in 1990, Elemis is the leading luxury British spa and skincare brand. Elemis partners with over 1200 luxurious spas and salons, 130 cruise ship spas, British Airways Elemis travel spas and over 100 retail stores around the globe.

For Those Seeking A Flavored Massage Candle Option, Skinny Dip Candles Introduces Sensual Edibles

Rolled out in mid-February, Sensual Edibles massage candles are currently offered in six flavors: Cherrylicious, Chocolate Decadence, Orgasmic Orange, Passionate Pina Colada, Sensuous Strawberry, and Wicked Wild Berry.

Company founder and CEO, Karen Porter, states, “The flavored massage candle line came about f r o m multiple customer requests for a massage candle that tastes great.” While Skinny Dip Candles have traditionally been used for moisturizing the body and as a massage oil, Porter stated that “many of our customers use the candle for romantic couple’s massage and we had many requests for a flavored massage candle.”

Porter states that the six flavors currently available in the Sensual Edible line were selected with customer input. The flavors were also based on the popularity of the company’s top selling Barely There Lip Balm flavors.

Like the flagship Skinny Dip Candle line, Sensual Edibles are made f r o m natural ingredients. Sensual Edibles are made f r o m cosmetic-grade soy, avocado oil, beeswax, sunflower oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, and vitamin E. The Edibles line features flavor oil instead of fragrance or essential oils.

Like traditional Skinny Dip Candles, Sensual Edibles melt at just over body temperature and are ready to use immediately after extinguishing the flame. Porter adds, “The melted lotion is extremely rich, so a little goes a very long way. It’s terrific when used on cuticles, elbows, heels, dry hands, and anywhere the skin is dry. Even though the warm lotion is super emollient, it completely absorbs into the skin within just a matter of minutes.”

Priced at $14.95 retail on the company’s website, SkinnyDipCandle.com, Sensual Edibles are also offered at wholesale pricing for qualified resellers.

Skinny Dip Candles and other company products are also available in select gift shops, spas, and salons across the U.S.

Scottish online cosmetics company Beauty Counter Direct have announced an impressive 43% like-on-like increase in sales

Defying the economic downturn, Beauty Counter Direct’s December figures prove that beauty products and cosmetics are increasingly popular. The so-called, ‘lipstick effect’, first evident during the Great Depression 1929-1933 when lipstick sales rocketed 25%, should perhaps be renamed the ‘cosmetics effect’ as sales increase across the board. In the pre-Christmas period Beauty Counter Direct’s skin care product sales increased by 65%, cosmetics by 58% and fragrances were up by 17%. During the same period, mascara sales more than doubled.

Julie Wood, Managing Director of Beauty Counter Direct says: “Our sales prove that people like to keep up appearances despite the dismal outlook. Treating yourself to less expensive luxuries has never been so popular. Customers want low cost and high impact.”

Sales figures from one of the world’s biggest cosmetics companies, L’Oreal, endorse this theory. Their sales were up 5.3% in the first half of the year.

RAB Capital analyst Dhaval Joshi explains the increase: “The evidence shows that when budgets are squeezed people simply substitute large extravagances for small luxuries.” Wood backs up this comment: “Our customers are buying larger volumes of cheaper products.”

Beauty Counter Direct was started by Julie Wood in 2005 after spotting a gap in the market for direct designer selling. The company employs eight people and is hoping to increase staff levels in 2009. Their best selling item is YSL Touche Eclat (RRP £22.50), which costs £16.99. Their product range stretches from eye pencils at 50 pence to Elizabeth Arden Prevage Anti Ageing Cream (RRP £145) at £98.99. Over one hundred brands include Estee Lauder, Lancôme, Clarins, Clinique and Yves Saint Laurent. They offer discounts of up to 70% on high street prices and cater for the grooming needs of both men and women.

Beauty Counter Direct specialises in discount cosmetics, skin care products, fragrances, beauty products and accessories from a wide range of premium designer brands. They provide a new way to buy your favourite beauty products offering both great savings and greater convenience. Browse through their extensive range at your convenience. Ordering couldn’t be simpler, and with a choice of three flat rate delivery options, including guaranteed next day delivery, orders are with you in no time. The dedicated Customer Service Team can provide impartial advice and product information.

Clinique, leader in skin care innovation has announced the launch of its latest skin care moisturizer called New Comfort on Call

Clinique, leader in skin care and make-up innovation, has announced the launch of their latest advance in skin care moisturizer – New Comfort on Call.

Clinique, at the forefront of skin care research, has launched a new innovation in anti aging and allergy relief skin care, with the introduction of New Comfort on Call – Allergy Tested Relief Cream, a moisturiser designed for people with visibly reactive skin.

Clinique’s New Comfort on Call enhances the skin’s ability to protect itself against external irritants such as pollutants and airborne particles. Containing the rare Citrus Jabara Fruit Extract, indigenous to Japan’s Wakayama Prefecture region where it is cultivated, this moisturising cream helps to calm the appearance of irritated skin.

Wakayama villagers believe Jabara can prevent pollen allergies from the region’s abundant trees. The villagers eat and drink it continuously to build their resistance to the onslaught of pollen each spring. Even at the height of pollen season, they report that allergies are rare. Clinique’s New Comfort on Call is the first and only skin treatment to include Citrus Jabara Fruit Extract. It is the heart of Clinique’s unique Enviro-Soothe Complex, including potent anti-irritants Mangosteen and Glycyrrhetinic Acid (licorice extract).

Dermatologist tested, and suitable for even very sensitive skin, New Comfort on Call:

– Gives immediate relief to dehydrated, dry skin and visibly calms irritated skin
– Helps shield and protect skin against extreme weather conditions while maintaining moisture
– Is suitable for all skin types that become very dry and taut when exposed to frigid climates
– Helps reduce skin’s visible reactivity and instances of cracked, flaky or rough skin with continued use

Protecting the skin, especially in colder climates, is critical in maintaining its strength and resilience. Skin becomes more susceptible to the harmful effects of common allergens and environmental pollutants, such as airborne particles, when the skin barrier is impaired.

“Aware of the changes in the environment, we wanted to create a product that would not only assist in helping the appearance of reactive skin, but would help skin to naturally cope with fluctuations in weather and humidity. We incorporated a water-binding protein that improves and rebalances the skin’s moisture, building a stronger, more resilient skin barrier, better able to protect against both extreme weather conditions and harmful external airborne particles.” Commented Dr. Tom Mammone, Executive Director of Clinique Research and Development

New Comfort on Call provides an invisible protective shield to strengthen skin’s moisture and lipid barrier function, helping skin to be less susceptible and reactive to certain external triggers over time. New Comfort on Call helps relieve dry, cracked skin while it softens, smoothes and improves skin’s texture and condition. This intense, luxuriously rich cream-balm moisturiser provides immediate comfort and all day hydration.

New Comfort on Call will be available nationwide from 1 February 2009

The Body Shop Online Gift Finder Tool

The Body Shop, the global ethical cosmetics company, has created a new gift finder tool, helping those searching for ideas for Christmas gifts.

The new online gift finder on The Body Shop site, requires the user to answer three simple questions and then The Body Shop will suggest a selection of thoughtful gifts for whomever is being bought for.

Suitable Christmas gift solutions which customers can find with the new gift finder tool include favourites from The Body Shop such as fragrance gifts, cosmetic bags, bathtime treats, essential oils and skin care products, many of which include the benefits of natural ingredients. It seems that during the harsh economic climate, people are turning their homes into their own personal havens to retreat to, leading to an increase in sales of home spa products and indulgent treats to use in the comfort of their homes.

Notably, The Body Shop has seen a significant increase in sales of its home fragrances which have shot up by as much as 33% in recent months, suggesting that aromatic oils, burners and diffusers are the new pamper products of choice during the economic downturn.

According to The Body Shop: “While people are cutting back on expensive evenings out, it seems a greater emphasis is being placed on enhancing the home environment, as seen by the growth in sales of our home fragrances. As the Christmas Holiday gift giving season approaches, we’re seeing that ethical gifts continue to drive our seasonal sales, as shoppers embrace smart eco-chic shopping as they turn to brands they trust. At The Body Shop, even our seasonal home fragrance oils include the benefits of our fair trade programme, Community Trade, which helps shoppers feel extra good about their purchase.”

Bath and body collections, fragrances and grooming products for men, are among the many gift ideas, which can be found with the new gift finder tool online.

Boots Has Introduced Five New Brands To Its Online Beauty Shop – Boots Beauty Boutique

Boots.com is thrilled to announce the launch of five new brands to its Beauty Boutique, which only opened its ‘virtual doors’ in Autumn 2007, increasing its already attractive offering of niche and coveted brands.

Boots Beauty Boutique is the beautifully ‘boudoiresque’ website for all those ‘beauty addicts’ out there, giving access to an array of the most sought after, exclusive skin, body and hair care brands from all over the world that are not readily available on the high street.

Thousands of customers have already treated themselves to renowned brands such asBliss, This Works, MOP and Dr. Nick Lowe since the launch of the site in September 2007. But if that wasn’t enough, now there is even more to find in the virtual boutique, from all the far-flung corners of the world.

ZPM is to wash bags what Mulberry is to handbags. Named after the founder Zoe Phayre-Mudge, ZPM combines bright colours and fabulous fabrics to create beauty and toiletry bags that are stylish as well as practical, so owners will leave them lying around for all and sundry to see.

Other brands introduced into the range focus on the more natural side of beauty. They include well-established, famous natural brands such as Swiss brand Weleda alongside newer names in the beauty world. One of the relative newcomers in natural beauty is the Greek skin and haircare brand Korres, whose roots are firmly planted in homeopathy. As a naturals brand Korres gleans most of its ingredients from four sources – Greek flora, foodstuffs such as honey, medicinal herbs and efficacious natural ingredients such as Hibiscus and Wild Mango.

Jo Woods is famed for being a model as well as a rock star’s wife. However, a lesser known fact is that Jo has been a committed pioneer to the organic lifestyle for the past eighteen years and has now created Jo Woods Organics. It comprises two ranges of totally organic bath and body products – Jo Woods Organics Everyday Range plus a more decadent gift range.

The fifth new brand is the paraben-free toiletries range Yes to Carrots, a hair, skin and bodycare range that harnesses beta-carotene, well known for its anti-ageing and anti-oxidant properties. This is combined with minerals from Dead Sea Mud to cleanse and detoxify skin.

Celeste Sinclair, Beauty Buyer for boots.com said: “Beauty Boutique has been very successful in its first year, with many of our customers discovering smaller niche brands that previously they may not have come across. We know many of our loyal customers want to see and experiment with brands that they might not have had access to before, so we are delighted to be able to introduce these five additional brands, and can’t wait to hear what they think.”

As well as these five exciting new brands, many of the existing brands will be extending their offering on Boots Beauty Boutique, including sets of gorgeous Christmas beauty products. Bliss, Burts Bees, Caudelie, Triology and Balance Me will all be introducing innovative new products for people to check out and enjoy. So overall there will be much more for customers to get their mitts on.

Boots.com Gain Exclusive Stockist Status For myface.cosmetics The New Cosmetics Brand From Renowned Makeup Artist Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury is one of the most influential make-up artists in the world, whose client roster includes Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, Gwen Stefani and Drew Barrymore, to name but a few. She is now allowing every woman “access” to her professional expertise with the launch of the make-up brand myface.cosmetics that syncs a person’s make-up with their skin tone.

Boots will be stocking myface.comestics exclusively on its website, which is the UK’s number one health and beauty online retailer.

Combining the expertise of a high profile make-up artist with high quality products and high-tech packaging, myface.cosmetics has ceremoniously ended mass confusion in the make-up aisles. By merchandising colours and shades according to skintone, both online and in store, myface.cosmetics creates an easy-to-shop user-friendly experience.

Charlotte believes that the vast majority of women are concerned with the make-up colours that most suit them, rather than application techniques, and therefore the range is based on this insight, with each shade picked to work with a specific skin tone – fair, medium and medium/dark.

Charlotte Tilbury said: “The most common question people ask me is ‘What colour lip gloss, blush etc. would you use on my face?’ The right colours dramatically enhance your overall appearance and the wrong ones can really detract.” This refreshingly prescriptive approach to make up seems blindingly obvious and yet has never been done before.

The range consists of ten lines, from light ethereal foundations to lip pop gloss and upload mascara for loaded lashes. Each line has shades that are recommended for each of the skin types.

Celeste Sinclair, Beauty Buyer for boots.com said, “We are so excited to have myface cosmetics as an exclusive brand on our site. Charlotte has earned iconic status in the fashion & beauty world and we know that our customers who are self-confessed ‘beauty addicts’ are absolutely going to love this new brand with such inspirational expertise behind it.”
