August 2008 Issue of Lucky

The August issue of most magazines is the official end of summer to me. They touch on how to transition one’s look from summer to fall and how to save one’s skin or hair from the horrors of summer weather. But mostly, they are beginning to look toward fall and what will be the trends of the new season.

This issue of Lucky introduced me to bunch of new products that absolutely must get within the next few weeks. It is rare that I want multiple products from the same article, being that most of the products grouped together do the similar or the exact same things.

- Bumble and Bumble Crème de Coco Masque “Based on Bumble and Bumble’s all time best-selling conditioner and shampoo, this mask is super-concentrated, with a new, high-tech repairing complex”

- Fruits and Passion Monoi Nourishing Hair Mask “A tiare flower and coconut-oil concoction that’s been used as a moisturizer for centuries. It leaves hair ultra-glossy, not to mention gorgeously fragrant”

- Redken Real control Intense Renewal “Specifically designed for the driest, most damaged hair - i.e. chemically straightened, relaxed, or repeatedly dyed - it’s an amazing defrizzer and silkifier”

- Pureology Nanoworks Luxury Hair Masque “Noticeably brightens highlights (and prevents them from fading) with extracts of antioxidant fruits and certified organic mushrooms”

- Mistral Mer du Sud South Seas Bath and Shower Gel “Crisp-smelling with white flowers, this body wash contains shea butter and aloe to hydrate”

- Bobbi Brown Almost Bare “Like fresh-cut bergamot blossoms and just-showered skin - simple and perfect”

- Estee Lauder Sensuous “Very midnight-in-the-garden: jasmine touched with subtle woodsiness and a sultry hint of amber”

- David Yurman “ Soft musk and natural rose combined with patchouli and cassis make this spicy, bright, and complex”

- Guerlain Le 2 de Guerlain Two Brush Mascara in Noir “Double-sided, with a small wand on one end and a big one, for a lush effect, on the other”

- Lorac Makeup Prep Gentle Skin Resurfacer “The tiniest mineral and jojoba grains slough away dry skin - plus, a spongy applicator attached to the end makes it easy to massage in”

Jean Godfrey June’s column this month focused on the massive sale that Nordstrom has every summer and how beauty companies are coming out with LE just for this event. The new editions created by MAC got me the most excited. The brand new shades are fantastic and the mini brush sets are just to die for. These two products alone are worth making the trips to Nordstrom. New obsession created…
