Trend Alert: Motives Cosmetics Recent Product Launch

By Leah

40fyLipTreatment

When the times are tough the tough get shopping. At least that seems to be the trend for Motives by Loren Ridinger, as her company’s sales increased by nearly fifty percent this past year. So what does a lady who loves cosmetics do to appease her audience …she conjures up a line of updated hues and formulas to keep her clients entertained. Of the twenty items to join the Motives group this coming fall, the following two spark our interest.

Another treatment that claims to volumize lips (by forty percent according to clinical trials) in 29 days—if used three times daily—is Motives® 40FY™ Lip Treatment ($23). What’s the attraction to this plumper? With its concoction of natural peptides that stimulate collagen production 40FY is designed to ‘work’ on wrinkles and fine lines that border the mouth, and improve the lips outline by plumping connective tissue while re-hydrating and retaining moisture.

Our second Motives pick is the Muse Collection, four individual palettes of a classic leading-lady look (think Marilyn, Ava and Audrey) with a modern touch. Each kit includes: eyeshadow, (pressed and cream), blush, eyeliner, lipstick, lip plumper, lip crayon or lip shine and mascara.

Did we mention Motives Custom Blend Foundation is in the works; available solely through a Motives Consultant soon it’ll be possible to obtain a flawless visage. To learn more visit motivescosmetics.com.

Pucker Up: POSHglam’s Glossiest Picks

By Leah

GlossAll

Gloss comes in all shapes, sizes, textures and colors. Some sport the smell of candy, while others are fragrance-free. A lady should always keep a bit of lip ‘stuff’ on hand, even if her boy toy carts it around. Here are a scattering of POSHglam’s front-runners. And remember, a little gloss goes a long way.

MOISTURE WHIP

The ultra-shiny lip is attainable with the sheer consistency of L.A. Colors Glossy Lips ($2).

SPARKLING FUN

The next time you get that girly urge put pizzazz into your beauty routine and slather on L.A. Girl’s U.S.A. Sparkles Glittergloss ($4).

BRAND-SPANKNG NEW

Eco shine your way to a luscious lip with Yes To Carrots C Me Shine Lip Gloss ($6.49). Desire less gloss? Use C Me Shine Lip Tint ($4.49) for a subdued look.

LIP THERAPY

Engage your honey bunny with the lusciousness of a vanilla bean, literally. Vanilla Bean Lip Gloss ($13.95) by Rejuva Minerals is made using vanilla bean and essence of vanilla alongside essential vitamins, A, D, and E to moisten pout.

COLOR AND SHINE

Motives Cosmetics by Loren Ridinger offers the exact amount of tint and glitz with Full Color Lip Shine ($16.95). This mineral-based mixture is the option for a long-lasting dusk-until-dawn wear.

A BRILLANT STICK

Lipstick Queen’s mess-free solution to a gooey gloss is Chinatown Chase ($18), a high-impact emollient pencil that’s actually a gloss. Packaged neatly it even comes with a sharpener included, thanks Lipstick Queen.

GOO-FREE

For a non-sticky multidimensional glisten Young Blood Minerals Lip Gloss ($21) delivers. It’s chock-full of vitamins to nourish and moisture lips.

PLUMPY POUT

It’s not a gloss guide unless Too Faced Lip Injection Super Size ($23.50) is present. This powerful punch of plumper enhances lips the natural way with a vitamin E derivative.

DOUBLE DUTY

Crafty Hugh Hefner puts gloss into perspective with Playboy Beauty Gloss Duo ($34). Two types to select from, In The Mood | Not in The Mood or First Kiss | French Kiss. Wonder what’s next for the King of Bunnies.
