This Week’s Beauty Report: Sunday, June 13th, 2010

  • Philosophy introduces Microdelivery Purifying Peel — a one minute purifying enzyme peel with natural enzymes and a fruit-acid complex. It retails for $40.
  • Lancome Definicils Precious Cells High Definition Amplifying Mascara will be a Nordstrom exclusive, and it is available for pre-order now in-stores. This mascara is designed to regenerate damaged follicles and deep condition with a formula for thick, rich lashes.
  • MAC Pigments have launched at counters (finally!) as well as some new shades were rolled out to freestanding stores. Pigments retail for $19.50.
  • Boots has launched their own Facebook page!
  • Guerlain’s Terracotta Lady Bronzing Powder is driving me bananas–as in, I want it desperately! It’s so classy. $62 will get you one for yourself.
  • Anastasia rolls out a Highlighting Creme Duo ($35) just for Nordstrom (for now, at least). There’s a liquid highlighter to be used alone, with foudnation, or body lotion. Then there is a natural creme blush for cheeks, lips, or eyes.

Hi!

A quick question: Are pigments only for sale once in a while or are they in the permanent collection? I thought that they are permanent, and now I read that the pigments are finally there at Nordstrom so I got a bit confused.
I live in the Netherlands by the way, so maybe the answer to this question is different for Europe?

Thanks a lot! Love your blog!!
^-^

Counters, like Nordstrom, Macy’s, etc., did not carry pigments. They only carried them for a limited time, if they did so. They were permanent at MAC freestanding and PRO stores and have been for a long time (though not all shades at freestanding – there were about 4-5 PRO-only shades that are now available in freestanding stores).
