New Fusion Beauty SculptDiva Contouring & Sculpting Blush

SculptDiva™ Contouring & Sculpting Blush with Amplifat™ in Crave

My first thought on learning Fusion Beauty had developed and launched a new cream to powder blush with the "taste" of cheek sculpting as its premise was - copy cat!  You see, as an avid fan and follower of the delicious PurpleLabNYC brand of beauty, I couldn't help but notice SculptDiva's similarity to the already released Cheek Implants Cream Blush by PurpleLab.

Well, I guess there's room at the table for more, right? I also suspect Fusion Beauty won't be the last to follow in the visionary footsteps of the Divine Ms. Karen (Robinovitz, PurpleLabNYC Creatrix), whether with sculpting, contouring blush or any of Karen's other "children," the beauty products she brings to life.

Soooooo, back to Sculptiva. It turns out there are many reasons to give this new blush a look-see.  Fusion Beauty SculptDiva Contouring & Sculpting Blush with Amplifat (more on that in a sec) is a double-duty cream-to-powder blush that endeavors to impart a youthful, flushed look while helping to perfect the skin.

This high-performance cheek color is infused with rose bud extracts to help minimize pores on cheeks, and advanced skin conditioners for a hydrating touch. A concentrated dose of AmpliFat complex plumps the skin for visibly firmer, more supple-looking cheeks in 28 days. Over time, the perfect shades claim to work to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and help to enhance the appearance of skin volume.

Ok, so what exactly is Amplifat?
It's a concentrate suspended in calcium-based microspheres that mimic the results of injectable facial fillers as an ingredient in products to promote increased density and volume in the face. Currently, Amplifat is used in FusionBeauty ColorCeuticals’ SculptDiva Contouring & Sculpting Blush and IllumiFill Line Filling Luminizer.

"We have the ability to see the potential of these raw materials and use them in creative ways to basically satisfy key consumer benefits,” shares Fusion Brands’ Roslyn Griner, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Development.  In fact, look for Fusion Beauty to expand their cosmeceutical lines in the very near future.  They're counting on celebrity representation (Kim Kardashian for one) and Sephora to help get the word out about their technological advances to the masses.

                            

Haute (sheer, pink rose); Crave (shimmering apricot); Cherub (dusty rose); Bella (pinkish brown)

Fusion Beauty SculptDiva™ Contouring & Sculpting Blush with Amplifat™ is available in four beautiful shades (above) and retails for $29 each.  You'll find more information in-store and online at Sephora and may purchase the blush at Sephora.

ERNO LASZLO: Limited Edition Blusher + Bronzer Set

Erno Laszlo is a brand I must confess I don't have much experience with. When I received word of this web exclusive limited edition set, I took the opportunity to do a little research.

What I discovered, in short, is that Erno Laszlo has been producing cutting edge innovative products since 1927. The brand is synonymous with purity, effectiveness and a personalized approach with women and men the world over. Erno Laszlo is the first dermatologist-created skincare. As a young Hungarian dermatologist, Dr. Laszlo revolutionized the skincare business. He was the first to formulate sunscreens, design water-based products for oily skin, and prescribe personalized skincare "rituals" to his clients, among other firsts.

Every Laszlo Ritual begins with Dr. Laszlo's water-wash technique, even still today. He taught that splashing the face with comfortably-hot water and using his specially designed cleansers helped to:

• deeply cleanse skin
• exfoliate dead skin cells
• flush out toxins
• strengthen, plump and soften skin
• stimulate collagen production
• and enhance the absorption of moisturizer

His clients included Hollywood's most glamorous - Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe to name a few. Dr. Laszlo's skincare regimens became highly sought after, and still are to this day. Everyone has their own Laszlo Ritual prescribed to them. You can gain your personalized ritual via Erno Laszlo online.


One thing unavoidably noticeable viewing the site is that the products are high end on the price point. One cream I saw retails for over $500 a jar. That being said, I was increasingly happy to learn that Erno Laszlo offers web-exclusive products at discounted pricing.

The Limited Edition Multi-pHase Blusher & Bronzer Set retails through this offer for $54.

You'll receive both the blusher and bronzer. The blusher and the bronzer look natural when applied and blend easily with any skin tone to give your skin the most naturally-blushed, sun-kissed look. There are tips for applying on the website. It's definitely worth perusing.
