The new Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum is claimed to soothe skin’s redness, sensitivity and reactivity, and it is recommended by Origins for those with rosacea. Today I am taking a closer look at this product.
The serum has a light liquidy consistency and spreads very easily. This consistency should potentially suit those with combination or oily skin, but I wouldn’t recommend it to those with these two skin types since it contains a lot of (occlusive) plant oils.

Most of my favorite beauty brands (especially when it comes to makeup) are designer brands. Beauty lines from Chanel, Dior, YSL, Anna Sui, Jill Stuart and Paul & Joe are beautiful extensions of their respective fashion brands as well as credible makeup/skincare lines in their own right.
On July 12th, Burberry Beauty was launched in the UK, and it is currently available exclusively in Harrods. Even though I am not a Burberry person, the look of the products did catch my attention. A fashion brand’s beauty line can help convey the image of the brand to a wider audience, through the colors and packaging (among other things), and, after seeing the products in person, I think Burberry has done well in both aspects.

Sofina Aube Couture will release Designing Puffy Cheek in Japan on December 7th. (Cosme.Net hasn’t mentioned how many shades will be available.)
I am assuming that this is part of Aube Couture’s spring 2011 makeup collection. (The line tends to release its seasonal collections relatively early. Its fall 2010 makeup collection was out on June 15th.) I will update this post with more information later on.
