by Paige Donner

Bourjois’ UNE line of cosmetics includes the newly released Skin Ideal Youth Serum Foundation, a youth-extending formula. Aptly named, this elixir is as much a foundation that gives your complexion a radiant clean flawless finish as it is a serum that incorporates these plants harvested from the Swiss Alps that help fight the dangerous effects of pollution with their anti-oxidising properties.

Cultivates the Natural Look and Reaps Youthfulness

How does Skin Ideal diminish signs of age as a mere foundation ?

« It’s a question of lightness, affinity with the skin, harmony with the complexion and respect for each woman’s natural look…

UNE’s Skin Ideal Youth Serum Foundation brings out the youthfulness of the face with very little make-up, resulting in a natural, ageless grace.

The dominant magic component in Skin Ideal is a product of green chemistry called Hyaluronic Acid.  Do you love to see your skin « plumped up » looking dewy and hydrated ? The Hyaluronic Acid in Bourjois’ Skin Ideal is obtained by biosynthesis from lactic acid. It has a specific affinity with the skin, which it naturally and intensely hydrates, re-inflating and « plumping up »  your complexion.

Light As A Feather

Skin Ideal is an EcoCert product, meaning that 98.2% of the total ingredients are of natural origin. So its featherweight qualities and ultralight emulsifiers are unique and offer a revolutionary glide and smoothness in a natural formula.

How ? UNE’s Skin Ideal uses a derivative of rice oil combined with arginine. The rice oil and arginine combination is a new generation of natural emulsifiers that give comfort to your skin and emollience to the Youth Serum Foundation.  Your morning’s application, good for the whole day, glides on and blends into your skin in perfect homogeneity. It leaves a delicious sensation of feather like comfort and sensations of « nothing on the skin ».

To add to the magic effect of your flawlessly finished skin, UNE has included silica and mica combined in the form of powder micro-beads for an ultra-radiant soft focus effect. It’s an optical effect, but one that takes off a few years in an instant.

Skin Ideal is a youth enhancer, a friend to your complexion. It brings out natural light, freshness, radiance and, as a result, boosts your self-confidence. It is not a veil for your complexion nor is it a second skin. Its Organic Jojoba oil nourishes the skin without a greasy effect. Organic Argan Oil helps protect the skin’s youthfulness. Beeswax, the ultimate natural product, forms a protective film against external effects.

Makeup Tips from UNE :

« More is the enemy of good.

To look younger, it is necessary to lighten makeup and take particular care with the choice and apply foundation evenly without adding thickness.

Always choose the shade as close as possible to the natural skin tone : paler it looks dull, darker it ages.

Be sure to spread it evenly up to the base of the throat to avoid marking. »

Mascara: Green Is The New Pure Black


by Paige Donner

 

With awards season fully underway and the first of  2014's runway shows revving up for the world's hottest fashion weeks, a girl needs her go-to makeup product right at hand. Yes, mascara.

 

Of course ! Mascara .

 

According to Premium Beauty News, 54% of women say they couldn't go without mascara. And counting all distribution channels combined, a whopping one billion little tubes of mascara are sold each year.

 

Still, one woman out of two claim to have sensitive eyes and who doesn't want to pamper their peepers ?

 

So for all you awards show and fashion divas, and all the rest of us lovely creatures who prefer just to watch the parading down runways and red carpets from our perfectly made up eyes, Greening Beauty has scoured the makeup world to find our top picks for green glam when it comes to mascara.

 

They are Bourjois's UNE Green Pride Volume Mascara and Avène's High Tolerance Mascara in its Couvrance line of cosmetics.

 

UNE is a lusciously lip-smacking green line of makeup, available in Europe (not yet in North America but can be found online) created by Bourjois, one of France's most established makeup manufacturers. And now they've reinvented Black, for the Ultra Black Green Pride Volume Mascara.

 

Avène is a leading French cosmetics house that specializes in sensitive skin and is one of the pioneers of cosmeceuticals. Their full name is Laboratoires Dermatologiques Avène and for their newest mascara, High Tolerance Mascara, just released in November '13, they have focused on a product that wears easily not just for women with sensitive eyes or contact lenses, but also for women who want their eyes to sparkle and shine from behind lush, long, black (or brown) lashes.

 

A few highlights of UNE's organic and Ultra Black Mascara :

 

  • Ecocert certified. Means 100% of total ingredients are from natural origin.
  • Boosts lashes by 14x using a combination recipe of three natural waxes : shea butter, carnauba and beeswax.  These sculpt, coat and maximize the sheen of the lashes.
  • Holds for 16 hours thanks to the natural polymer, xantham gum.
  • Absolute black for the Ultra Black pigment achieved by pure iron oxide.
  • Brush is small and equipped with supple fibers and « reservoir spaces », a technology that evenly distributes the mascara to avoid clumping, applying the perfect amount in a single sweep.
  • Easily removeable. No rubbing, just dab with spring water and the makeup dissolves gently, respecting sensitive eyes and keeping eyes young looking.

 

A few highlights of Avène's High Tolerance Mascara

 

  • Dedicated to dermatology since 1743, Avène has pioneered the concept of « sterile cosmetiques » or ultra pure cosmetics.
  • The Ultra pure pigments for both their black and brown mascaras have a minimum of metal content.
  • No Paraben. No Phenoxyethanol. No chlorophenesin. No fragrance.
  • Acacia gum allows for full lashes with no clumping. Even after applying several layers. The sheathing and film producing of the natural polymer – acacia gum – mean each lash is coated for perfect definition.
  • Ultra light micro beads in the silica powder increase volume while maintaining a natural effect.
  • Volumising effect : +42%   Lengthening effect : +39%
  • High precision brush curved in the shape of an eyelid. Concave side works to make the lashes fuller and lusher. Convex side works to separate the lashes for better definition.
  • Long-lasting : More than 8 hours. Guarantees no clumping while giving high-volume and curl.
  • Easily removeable. Spray a bit of Avène Eau Thermale (natural and very pure French spring water) on your eyes and gently dab with cotton pad to remove.

 

And Voila' ! You will not only have the mirrors to your soul shining like rock stars, but your eyes will be saying thank you the whole time to you, too.
