What's happened to Oriflame's Blush Touch Duo?

Blush Touch Duo codes 12407, 12408 and 12409 were discontinued in December 2010. Our recommended replacement product is the new Oriflame Beauty Perfect Blush (below). This comes in a slimmer compact, but still has a mirror and is available in three shades - Fresh Pink 21649, Classic Rose 21650 and Glowing Peach 21651.
If you missed the launch of the product earlier in the month, here are a few ideas on how to use the new product to create different looks -

'High Cheekbones: Draw a line from the middle of the ear to the corner of your lips, using a sharp edge on your brush (created by squeezing the bristles together). Use an upward sweeping motion to shape and blend from the line already created for a smooth, highlight effect.

The Perfect Shape: Use blush in different ways to get the perfect shape and balance for your face. Faceline: Narrow your face shape by adding a dash of blush on the temples of your face. Jawline: Apply blush just under your jawline to enhance your natural shape, and make your jawline look very sharp and defined. Eye: For a more contoured and open-eye look, add a touch of blush just below your browbone so your eyes become more distinct.

Health Fresh Glow: Smiling is the best way to exaggerate the cheek's apple. A gentle tapping motion, and using an irregular pattern, will colour the cheeks as required and helps avoid an unnatural end result.'*

Halal make-up

Halal make-up is making news headlines today as it has become available in the UK. The main discussions in the news seem to be focused around whether there is a gap in the market for halal make-up for Muslim women or whether businesses are ‘cashing in’ on halal products. But this leads me to wonder, religion aside, whether this represents a wider opinion view for all women?

Most of us are conscious about the products we are putting on our skin particularly with regards to chemicals, alcohol and the testing process which the products undergo. I often receive emails from customers on these matters, so perhaps halal make-up could be seen as extension to the animal friendly/anti-animal testing culture and not purely for religious reason as more of us are not only concerned about how the products are tested but whether the products actually contain ingredients derived from dead animals.

I think it will be interesting to see how the market leaders in the cosmetics industry react to these products. What do you think?
