Maybelline New York Cosmetics has revealed plans to give you a more natural look with their new line of face makeup.
The new Fit Me line of makeup products from Maybelline will be a fool proof system to help you get the right shade for your skin tone. The Fit Me line will include foundation, powder, concealer, blush and bronzer all number coded so you know which colour will work best with your skin tone. This isn’t exactly a brand new idea for makeup. True Match also has a number system for their foundations, concealers and powders.
The difference is that Maybelline has created 18 different shades. That is more colour options than every other makeup line we can think of. This could get your even closer to your true skin colour than usual. We also love that Maybelline has included blush and bronzer because have all struggled to find a shade that isn’t too bright.
While there is no word on when the line will be in stores, prices will range from $5.51 to $7.99 for the makeup line.
This season purple reigns supreme. Here are Real Style Beauty’s top 10 picks that will add a hit of purple to your everyday routine:

Matthew McConaughy is known for being a rough and tumble outdoorsy guy. Dolce & Gabbana have swapped the surfboard for a tuxedo and turned the actor into the face of their new men’s fragrance.
Matthew McConaughey cleans up nicely in the new ads for Dolce & Gabbana’s The One Gentleman fragrance. The new men’s scent is a follow up to the The One For Men fragrance.
When asked to describe The One Gentleman McConaughy said, ”A gentleman has respect for himself, that is the basis of his respect and consideration for others… He has a strength and grace that translates into how he moves, how he makes a decision, or even how he holds himself still and says nothing at all.” (That smooth talking is probably how he got the role for D&G)
The ads will be officially released in October, the same time as the fragrance.
I am back with my thoughts on another new beauty product. This week my review is going eco-friendly with products from organic beauty company Peacekeeper Cause-Metics.
Let me give you a little background on the company first, because they are pretty amazing. Not only do they have certified organic beauty products that aren’t tested on animals (which I love), but Peacekeeper donates profits to women’s health and human rights groups. This is the kind of company that I want to buy products from. They make you look good and feel good!
Let’s start with the bad news on the products. I wouldn’t recommend the nail polish to anyone. I loved the Paint Me Grateful metallic purple colour in the bottle, but it took over an hour to dry. That’s ridiculous! Maybe if I had time to wait for my nail to dry, but this Beauty Guinea Pig has lots of other products awaiting her attention. It is supposedly one of the safest nail polish in the world and is vegan, but it lacks quality.
The good news is the Peacekeeper lip products are fabulous. The Yum Balm lip gloss may not taste as good as the name implies, but it leaves my lips feeling soft and juicy. It’s a little gooey coming out, so squeeze gently. It has huge gloss power and shine, without too much colour. I wouldn’t suggest kissing anyone after because you may stick together!
The Organic Lip Balm is even better. I tried the delicious smelling “Perfect As Is” Lip Balm. When I read the label to see what gave it its sweet smell, I was shocked; I could actually pronounce all of the ingredients. Actually, I had most of the ingredients in my fridge. I figured out that it was the rosemary that was sending me into seventh heaven. Because it’s so natural, the lip balm is a little gritty, but it makes up for it with how soft it leaves your lips. This lip balm has turned me into a certified addict.
Crème de la Mer is one of the must have beauty products of all time. With a new beauty product launch this month, La Mer may have another instant classic on their hands.
La Mer just released their Eye Balm Instense cream claiming to get rid of those dark puffy eyes. With a track record like La Mer’s, we can wait to see what it can do for our eyes during TIFF or Toronto Fashion Week when we are out all night and up again early in the morning.
The La Mer Eye Balm is made with the same secret seaweed mixture base as their tried and true creams. For this cream they have added what they are calling Smart Sea Gel from way in the depths of the ocean. They say this deep sea algae and seaweed acts different because it doesn’t see light. La Mer mixes all of these natural ingredients together to give you a cream they say will de-puff, moisturize and brighten your dark eyes.
At $145.00. per small jar, it’s one of the priciest eye products on the market…but at the same time if it works then for some it may be well worth the money.
Sure complaints of love handles, thunder thighs and big bums are typical, but now it seems that flabby knees are the latest body part to take a hit.
Enter Ultra Lipolyse, a new laser treatment to melt the fat away… Literally. Ultra Lipolyse puts small lasers under the skin to turn your fat into a liquid that either gets sucked out or just disperses into your body. The company also claims that the laser simultaneously stimulates skin to tighten it up.
Liquefied fat sounds disturbing , but the procedure promises to be non-invasive and painless, so maybe that’ll make potential patients forget about the ew-factor. Apparently the procedure may be used on other jiggly bits but it’s the knees where it is said to be most effective.
But beautiful knees don’t come without a price; swelling, bruising and discomfort in the form of fitted medical leggings, which apparently tighten like a corset and are thin enough to hide under wide leg pants, are par for the course. The good news? The healing process is said to be less intense than liposuction and you may have very sexy knees in the end. Rumor has it that Demi Moore did something to her knees years ago alongside almost everything else, but she sure does look good now and if you have her kind of money and motivation then why not?
Take into account that you may also have to factor in the cost of a flight to Europe as Ultra Lipolyse is currently only available in England and France.
Britney Spears is launching yet another fragrance to add to her ever growing repitoire of beauty products. The ad for the Britney Spears Radiance fragrance hit the web yesterday to great reviews by critics.
Everyone agrees that Britney Spears looks terrific in the 30 second ad.
This will be Britney’s ninth fragrance in the beauty aisle. Her trip into the fragrance world started back in 2004 with Curious. Since that time there has been a new Britney Spear fragrance ever year, and two some years. Even that time when Britney wasn’t doing so good, the machine behind her still managed to pump out beauty products.
Radiance is ready to be released in September. You can get the perfume at The Bay, Sears and Shopper’s Drug Mart when it launches or preorder it online for $59.00. The fragrance is said to smell like berries and flowers, but you will have to wait a little longer to smell for yourself.
The latest Dolce & Gabbana cosmetics campaign takes Scarlett Johansson’s glamourous features to new dramatic heights with a vampy look for fall. Now, we know this dark look isn’t for everyone, but if you really want to make a statement, then this look is for you. Here is how to get Scarlett Johansson’s celebrity beauty:
Scarlet Johansson Celebrity Beauty Shopping Guide:
1. MAC Cosmetics, Lipstick in Cyber, $17.50 – Scarlett’s pretty pout is emphasized with a dark nearly black, purple lipstick that is hot for the season.
2. Drugstore.com, Covergirl Brow Shaper, $2.39 – Make your brows bold and defined with an all-in-one pencil.
3. Essie, Essie Nail Polish in Velvet Voyeur – Vamp up your style with this brand new dark reddish/purple nail polish from Essie that comes out on September 1.
4. Saks Fifth Avenue, Dolce & Gabbana Volumized Lashes, $31.95 – Get Scarlett’s original look by using the new Dolce & Gabbana line itself.
5. Yves Rocher, Creamy Khol Intense Eye Liner, $8.00 – Scarlett has intense eyes. Match them with the blackest eye line you can find.
6. Sephora, Sephora Collection Eyeshadow Palette, $12.00 – Finish the look with some dark shimmer and a hint of colour with deep purple eye shadow.

Zoe & Zac Natural will be the eco-friendly beauty line for Payless. The line will have recyclable containers and is free of any harmful chemicals according to news stories. Zoe & Zac Natural will contains body butters lip balms and other beauty products.

A friend recommended we at the beauty blog tell all of our readers about the Olay Regenerist UV Defense Regenerating Lotion. This daily moisturizer is said to fight the signs of aging while protecting your skin from rays.
Her verdict: “I started using the Olay Lotion to smooth out my hands and arms actually. It’s one of the best moisturizers I’ve used to keep my hands smooth after a hard day of work. Because it also has an SPF 15 in it, I have started using the Olay moisturizer on my neck too. So many people forget to put sunscreen on their neck. With this beauty product I am protecting my skin and keeping it smooth.”

A poll from Clairol has named Marilyn Monroe the greatest blonde of all time.
It should be no surprise that Marilyn beat out other blonde celebrities from all decades. Her blonde curls defined an era of gorgeous hair and celebrity beauty. Her hair is still copied and envied to this day.
Other celebrity beauties in the top five were: Grace Kelly, Bridgitte Bardot, Cameron Diaz and Holly Willoughby. Other’s who made it into the top 20 included blonde bombshells Paris Hilton, Scarlett Johansson, Madonna, Gwen Stefani and Doris Day.
We usually spend all of our time talking about our favourite girly products on the beauty blog, but we know there are a few men out there taking a peak to see what is available to make them beautiful too. Or at least some girls who want their man to look his best, even if he doesn’t care.
Hair care company Aveda announced the launch of a new line of men’s shaving products this week. WWD reports the new Pure-Formance Shave Cream and Dual-Action Aftershave beauty products will be in stores next month.
Aveda says their shaving products will be both functional and include luxury scents, while many other products have one or the other. They say the products were developed specifically for men since their skin is different than womens.
Aveda will be giving out samples of the men’s products to women in their salons to try to coax the men into using the products. Brilliant move, since many women probably buy their man’s beauty products anyways.
Glam it up with our must-have product picks and hottest beauty trends for fall:
1. Grey Nail Polish (CND nail polish in Asphalt) – From pale stone to dark ash – grey nail polish is the easiest way to indulge in one of the season’s trendiest hues.
2. Straight Hair (Garnier Fructis Smoothing Cream) – A smoothing agent and flat iron are the best tools to get pin straight hair which dominated the fall runways.
3. Purple (Origins Eyeshadow in Purple Passion) – Whether you wear it on your eyes, nails or even lips, this season, purple reigns supreme.
4. Bold Brows (Benefit Speed Brow) – Fill in those brows with gel and pencil for a bold look that works now.
5. Neutral Nails (L’Oreal Pro Manicure Nail Polish in Goldy Lucks) – Like the hottest fashion trend, earth tones (think brown, green and dusty khaki) are taking the beauty world by storm.
6. Bright Lip Colour (Lime Crime Lipstick in No She Didn’t Opaque Blue) – Bright blue, purple, red and orange are the unexpected shades boldly taking over lip colour.
7. Blue (Estee Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow Palette) – Blue is still a hot trend for fall beauty. Beautiful bright blues pump up the volume of your fall makeup.
8. Pony Tails (Juicy Couture Elastics) – This season, the polished perfection of a ponytail feels totally fresh.
Tis the season for huge fragrance ads featuring big name celebs and directors. We have finally relaxed from the heat of the Gucci Guilty ad preview and now we have the new ad from Chanel.
Chanel brought in the big guns for their Bleu de Chanel fragrance commcercial. Director Martin Scorsese shot the minute long Chanel ad starring Hannibal Rising actor Gaspard Ulliel.
The ad from Chanel is all about doing the unexpected and living outside of the lines. The minute whizzes by in Martin Scorsese’s typical fast-paced, action packed style. This is the first major men’s fragrance for Chanel in years, so it’s not suprising to see they have put it all on the table to impress.
