Origins Drink Up 10-Minute Mask

What They Say: "When skin faces a marathon of dehydrating circumstances, fluid levels can run too low. The steady sips of moisture that sustain it under normal conditions simply don’t hold water. Smoothness evaporates. Skin feels tight and flaky. What it needs is a great big gulp. It’s all you can drink as nature’s cocktail of caretakers drown dry skin’s sorrows. Thirst-quenching Algae Extracts deliver an extra helping of hydration while emollient-rich Apricot Kernel Oil acts like a “fountain of youth”. Feel skin drink in the softness, lap up the luxury."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Heaven. That's all I can say. It's pure heaven. Of course, being an Origins product, it smells amazing. And if you've got parched skin? This will be your new best friend. It truly does give you lasting hydration, and makes you feel like a princess while you relax and just let it soak in.

User Tips: The directions for normal use say to apply a nice layer, wait 10 minutes, then wipe off gently with a tissue or cloth. This is great, but on nights when my face feels especially dry, stretched, and tight? I put it on and go to bed - and wake up with a much happier face the next morning.

I'm addicted to this stuff. I love it in the summer when I get a bit too much sun on my face -- if I use it early and often, it completely prevents peeling.

NY Fashion Week: "Fresh Out of the Water" at Herve Leger by Max Azria

The inspiration for the look at Herve Leger by Max Azria was the girls from the Bond movies. The make-up artist wanted to highlight beautiful skin with honed bones. The focus of the look? A wet eye, which they achieved with MAC gold Pigment. The eye was outlined with MAC Technakohl Eyeliner in Photogravure to give it an additional punch along with a nice coat of MAC Plushlash. To give additional focus to the eyes, the artist used a "chalky" lip. Beyond a simple nude, it was a pale, pale matte pink that had the effect of erasing the lips from the model's face.

The result was a simple, sophisticated look that is pretty and wearable for those with warmer skin tones. If you've got blue undertones, you can still achieve the look, but I would recommend a little more color on the lips to avoid looking frostbitten.
