Hi, it’s Laura here, reporting on the latest beauty news. Let me fill you in on what is new and notable:

Imagine a product that will plump lips, erase fine lines, treat skin, nourish hands, tame flyaway hair, soothe sunburn and strengthen nails. 

The dream is a reality – Rodial glam balm is a wonder balm, offering a myriad of different uses! A big hit with the stars, this multi-purpose treat is a handbag necessity, enriched with calendula, bergamot and vitamin E; glam balm is proven to reduce wrinkles by up to 30% and plump lips by 40% in just 28 days. 

Elasticity is restored, moisture is injected and collagen is boosted, simply by applying this cult balm!

 

 

And let’s not forget Givenchy’s new skin care cream Le Soin Noir, formulated with Vital Black Algae Sap Concentrate. The sap contains precious black molecules that are extremely rich in vital fatty acids. This product is available on line only and the Sephora 5^th Ave store. 

 

So now that you’re in the know on beauty news, you can resume watching CNN or reading STAR or however else it is that you keep up with the rest of the goings on in this big beautiful world of ours. And yes, I am an optimist and always see the glass as half full. And right now I am envisioning it full of cold, crisp champagne! I am ready for a holiday toast, so cheers to all of you fab Sparkle*Shelf readers and writers! Rock on.
