Steam Cream: The New Way to Hydrate from the UK + Beauty Collector Alert

UK brand SteamCream does just what it seems to imply in its evocative name; this is not just poetry: they incorporate "pure, unrefined steam" in the process of making their all-purpose cream in order to get an exceptional, glistening texture that is touted as being super diffusive and maximally ready to be absorbed by all your pores once it hits the skin. I am not sure what "unrefined steam" might mean concretely, but I know I want to try this cream.

Maybe you won't benefit from the misty climate of Albion, but you can get some wisdom from the country's traditional reliance on an enhanced level of humidity.

The cream contains a luscious list of ingredients: oatmeal infusion, almond oil, glycerine, lavender oil, orange flower water, cocoa butter, organic jojoba oil. Special care was devoted to the perfume for the cream which is a blend of essential oils...

Tarte Cosmetics CelluFight Natural Anti-Cellulite Self-Tanner (2009) {New Beauty Product - Body}

The other day I posted about an innovative 2-in-1 sunscreen that is also a slimming product by Somatoline Cosmetic which was just introduced. Today, I happened on the latest body product by Tarte Cosmetics which is, guess what, a slimming and self-tanning product called CelluFight or rather celluFIGHT with a really big-looking stress on "FIGHT". The two are, as it happens, brand new and this is already making both products look like the beginning of a trend.

In this case the concept is slightly different although it follows a similar train of thought: tan real or faux + slimmer + smoother you. So, if you don't like to tan for real or it's not the right time for you now, you can turn your attention to Cellufight. And extra bonus, it's full of natural ingredients (algae extract, natural DHA, green tea leaf extract, organic green tea fragrance, skinTIGHT complex) and explicitly void of the chemicals that are usually black-listed...

Somatoline Cosmetic Amincissant Solaire: An Innovative Slimming Sunscreen {New Beauty Product - Body}

This spring, French cosmetic brand Somatoline Cosmetic which specializes in thinning products launched an innovative slimming sunscreen called Traitement Amincissant Solaire which is offered in three different SPFs: 15, 30 and 50. Slimming body creams, lotions and gels of all ilks are very mainstream and hugely popular in France but to have one double up as a sunscreen that enhances its slimming properties under the action of the sun is newish.

Before I go on, I want to tell our international readers that the product is available on an online shopping site that ships worldwide so that you don't feel like the information will be useless if you're outside of Europe (check out parapharmastock.com).

According to Sports-Santé, this product which is currently touted as the first in its category was actually preceded by Bergasol lait IP8 silhouette a few years ago which contained caffeine and grapefruit extract...

Korres Natural Products, a brand hailing from Greece, has introduced a new product for the body called Black Tea & Verbena Anti-Cellulite Cream-Gel. It is meant to be a complementary addition to the anti-cellulite program created by the brand with "Guarana exfoliating body soap, Geranium and Grapefruit massage oil for firming body and reducing the appearance of cellulite and Prunella and Grape firming body cream gel."

The King of Shaves has decided to done on the crown of the queen of shaves with a new, reportedly super-performance razor for women. It's the feminine version of Azor and it's called Woman Azure System Razor. The design looks sleek as can be and it even seems actually to be wearing high heels!

You are also put in the hands of woman master barber Diane Wood, the daughter of Adrian Wood, owner of famous NYC barber shop, Paul Molé, who has some great tips for improving your shaving technique. An anecdote worth telling is that she was on the Letterman show as she was asked to give their first shaves to the writers at the end of the national strike....
