If you’ve never tried a beauty line before, it’s always best to either try to get free beauty samples, get a complimentary make-up session so you can see what the make-up would look like at your home or take up a cosmetic line on their 30-day free trial offer.

I’ve talked a few days ago about Lauren Hutton’s new makeup line Good Stuff and I just came across a special 30-day risk free trial offer on Lauren Hutton’s Aqua Elements Mineral Make-Up line.

The question is should women over 35 wear blue nail polish?

Blue nail polish has been on beauty trends radars for a decade now … the fade as been in-and-out and in-and-out. Well it’s in again and this summer and there are a lot of great shades of blue to choose from.

To answer my earlier question: should women over 35 wear blue nail polish? … I’m saying yes … why not!

One thing is certain, black nail polish that was quite popular last summer is not as appropriate to women over 35 in my opinion. Celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann also encourages women over 35 to choose a dark plum or dark blue as opposed to a trendier and younger black nail polish.

What do you think is the most important product in your Spring 2008 makeup bag?

This is a very fun question that I’ve seen a few other beauty bloggers ask their readers … so I thought I’d ask Beauty Match readers what was in their makeup bag.

I never retouch my makeup during the day, so I always leave my foundation, primer and mascara at home. That said, I always bring my press powder, lipstick or lipgloss and blotting paper everywhere I go. Currently, I’ll have to say that my must-have items in my makeup bag are either my red lipgloss from Pash or my NARS ‘Manhunt’ red sheer lipstick.

Have you seen the recent ads with Sarah Jessica Parker for Garnier’s new anti-aging line? You know, it’s the one where she says: “For my skin, I see a nutritionist and a dermatologist everyday”.

There is actually a good reason behind that catchy advertisement line. All Garnier Nutritioniste products focus on the nutritional and dermatological benefits of food extracts, vitamins, essential fatty acids, antioxidants and minerals. These are ingredients that have been clinically proven to have tremendous benefits for your skin.

I’ve talked about Prevage in the past and have mentioned that I cannot try it because I’m quite allergic to the smell of their products.

I did notice that they have a new Prevage Anti-Aging Night Cream and since I cannot test it to see how effective, I wanted to see if any of my readers had bought it and tried it and how happy they were with the product.

I was invited last Friday to the product launch for a great new skincare line that I cannot wait to try and share with you.

If you have sensitive skin or if you are looking for products that are preservative-free and that contain organic ingredients, you’ll surely want to read about my experience with Kosmea (a skincare line from Australia).

This was a really chic launch set in the “pink room” of one of the most elegant hotels in the city. Discovering this new line from down-under was a thrill in itself, but having the opportunity to actually meet in person a number of other Canadian Beauty Bloggers was even better.
