The most awesome beauty toy has finally made it's way into Canadian Sephora locations.  If you've been anywhere near a Sephora lately you can't have missed the huge displays everywhere for the TEMPTU AIRbrush Makeup System and if you're anything like me, you have been wondering how complicated it is to use and whether a total spazcase (such as myself) could master such a complicated looking device.  You see, I still remember the airbrush machine that they introduced at Holt Renfrew a few years back.  I can't remember what the name of it was but I knew a makeup artist that had it and she was forever having problems with it - if an expert has issues, what hope is there for someone like me?  The answer is lots, because TEMPTU is totally different from the airbrushers of years gone by!


TEMPTU AIRbrush makeup System - $265 - what is different about this system then previous ones I have seen is that the foundation comes in a little pod - no longer do you have the hassle of having to fill a reservoir with foundation and then clean it out when you want to change colours - these pods just snap in and out, no cleaning required!  Not only that, you can switch between foundation, blush and highlighter with absolutely no hassle!  It's very easy to use, just snap in the colour pod, adjust the air pressure for desired coverage (dial up for more coverage, down for less) and off you go!  The AIRbrush is light so it's easy to maneuver and it kind of feels like cool air blowing on your face, be careful if you're ticklish!  You control how narrow or wide the area you cover is by how far you hold the AIRbrush from your face which makes it easy to cover specific areas or hide blemishes. What I really like about airbrushing is how buildable the coverage really is because of all the different ways there are to control the about of foundation that goes on your face.  This is totally different from the way regular foundation is buildable since obviously when you are applying a second layer with a brush or sponge you can't help but wipe a bit of the first layer off when you apply the second - with airbrushing you never actually touch your skin so layer 1 stays put!  I found that there was almost no learning curve, within 3 uses I had the application down pat and you don't need to worry about learning how to do it, the system comes with a user guide and a how-to DVD, they are also very happy to demonstrate the system for you in person at Sephora if you buy it in-store.


The AIR pods themselves come separately:

AIR pod Foundation - $65 for 2 pods - available in 12 colours:  001 porcelain, 002 ivory, 003 warm ivory, 004 sand, 005 beige, 006 warm beige, 007 natural, 008 honey, 009 golden, 010 almond, 011 chestnut and 012 espresso

I quite like the feel of the foundation itself.  It's light and hydrating and with a primer, it has great lasting power on me and a soft looking finish.  I am still on my first pod, to be fair, I don't use it everyday - not that it couldn't be for everyday use but it does take longer to do then slapping some foundation on my face with a brush and my mornings usually are pretty rushed so I have been using it more for weekends and nights out.  I understand that a pod should last about 2 months with regular use - but I expect that would also depend on what coverage setting you use it at too.

AIR pod Blush - $36 for 1 pod - available in 4 colours: 401 pale pink, 402 soft peach, 403 washed rose and 404 sheer berry

I totally love the way airbrushed blush looks!  Having fallen in love with cream blush this summer I am really appreciating this look and again you can really dictate how light or strong the colour is!  If you are a pale face like me, check out the sheer berry, it looks gorgeous on light skin!

AIR pod Highlighter - $42 for 1 pod - available in 4 colours - 301 champagne, 302 gold, 303 bronze and 304 copper

I tried the lightest one, champagne and it was a nice highlighter, I will need to try one of the darker colours and see how it works as a bronzer, I expect it would be a nice effect!  This would also be good for contouring if that's your thing!

If you are still deciding or can't shell out the bucks for the airbrusher, TEMPTU also has a RETOUCH line with airbush quality formulas and high-definition results.  They have a water-enriched silicone formula which allows for a flawless application while moisturizing and conditioning the skin.  The system contains Ceramide 3 and an olive oil vehicle, which nourishes and protects the skin, while Vitamins C & E provide anti-oxidant protection.

RETOUCH Foundation - $56 - with a built in brush applicator it perfects, corrects and minimizes imperfections creating a flawless and radiant complexion.  Available in 12 colours: 001 porcelain, 002 ivory, 003 warm ivory, 004 sand, 005 beige, 006 warm beige, 007 natural, 008 honey, 009 golden, 010 almond, 011 chestnut and 012 espresso

RETOUCH Blush - $42 - with a built in brush applicator it provides a dose of ultra-natural and dewy colour to cheeks with a smooth and lightweight liquid formula.  Available in 4 colours: 401 pale pink, 402 soft peach, 403 washed rose and 404 sheer berry

RETOUCH Highlighter - $48 - with a built in brush applicator it adds an instant and luxurious glow to both face and body.  Available in 4 colours:  301 champagne, 302 gold, 303 bronze and 304 copper

RETOUCH Powder - $51 - with a built in brush applicator it's a lightweight, mineral-based formula that rids you of shine and provides natural looking, satin soft skin.  Available in 6 colours:  200 translucent, 201 soft beige, 202 warm natural, 203 golden honey, 204 deep tan and 205 rich brown

and if that's not enough you can even tattoo yourself with ADORN - $30 - each kit contains: 9 tattoo design sheets, 20 ADORN Tattoo Application Pads, 1 ADORN Tattoo Setting Powder, 1 ADORN Reusable Clear Bag and 1 ADORN Application Instructions & Care Card.

I haven't tried any of the products from the RETOUCH line, I would love to hear opinions about it if anyone has!  And if anyone else has thoughts about the airbrush system, I'd love to hear them too!

I totally love foundation and there is just something about a luxe brand of foundation that really makes my heart sing!  Of course foundations are the beauty product that most often turn out to be a disappointment for me because they usually don't have a light enough shade for me.  Strangely, this problem seems to happen more often with the drug store brands, even though they usually have a larger colour range!  Expensive foundations that generally have a limited range of colours usually have a good pale colour - does this mean rich people stay inside too much?  Could be, I'm just happy they do! So I thought I would try a new foundation from an established line as well as a foundation from a new line - Guerlain and Burberry Beauty, check it out:

Guerlain Lingerie De Peau - Invisible Skin-Fusion Foundation - 30ml - $62 - in 6 shades:  02 Beige clair, 03 Beige naturel, 04 Beige moyen, 12 Rose clair, 13 Rose naturel and 23 Doré naturel - The spiel is that it "contains Bio-fusion micro-mesh for a unique affinity with the skin.  Unprecedented association of natural textile fibers and synthetic polymers to unify, smooth and shape the complexion"  Which sounds good and I took it to mean that I would put this stuff on my face and it would be so perfect and weightless that I wouldn't even know it was there - and I'm assuming that's what it means because that's exactly what it does!  I am using the lightest colour - Beige clair and it might be just the slightest bit too dark but it's really close and as long as I blend it well along the jawline, it disappears completely, so I'm happy with the colour.  But seriously, after you blend it into your skin you absolutely don't feel like there is any foundation on your face, which is my definition of the perfect foundation!  It has buildable coverage which is great and as I usually prefer a light coverage, it takes very little product to achieve that.  One pump is enough for medium coverage over your whole face so if you want light coverage, go with just half a pump.  And of course the bottle is beautiful - and heavy - if anyone breaks into my house I plan on winging this thing at them!

Available now at Guerlain Boutiques, Holt Renfrew, Ogilvy, Murale, The Bay, Sears and selected Shoppers Drug Marts.
Burberry Beauty Luminous Sheer Fluid Foundation - 30ml - $66 - in 9 shades and is intended for normal to dry skin.  Of course this is totally not meant for my combo skin - they have a powder foundation for that skin type, but I am simply not a fan of powder foundation, I like liquid, so I ignored their intentions and did what I wanted!  Again, it comes in a beautiful heavy bottle - I would buy this just to display on my dressing table even if they didn't have the right colour but thanks to the pale rich people, the lightest colour works well for me.  The formula is very buildable so unless you want full coverage and plan on layering it, a full pump is way more then a normal sized face would need, even half a pump was too much for a sheer look, I used about 1/3 of a pump for the perfect amount!  As the name would have you believe it goes on both luminous and sheer - there was a noticeable brightness to my skin where it was applied and it didn't look at all cakey.  Unfortunately it really is meant for normal to dry skin - while it wasn't heavy feeling it really does have some moisturizing properties to it because it made my oily areas look and feel oilier.  On my normal areas it was perfect so I have put this one aside to take out again in the winter when my skin goes from combo to normal/dry.  Normal to dry skinned ladies will want to take a look at this one though, especially if you are looking for a foundation to add a little moisture to your life (and face)!

Available at Holt Renfrew.

Dior's age-defying range Capture Totale is celebrating its silver anniversary with more innovations and discoveries to improve the line.  The new fundamental discovery in 2011 is that the influence of stem cells is not limited to the epidermis, as we now believe, but extends to the dermis as well, the area where all deep-set and visible signs of aging originate.  Dior has partnered with the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine with the aim to elucidate the deep causes of skin aging and to develop, for the future, an ensemble of new solutions based on stem cells

Today, to target stem cells, all of the Capture Totale products feature a new synergy of super-activated ingredients in the Longoza-Cellular Complex - all of the great historic active ingredients that ensured the success of Capture Totale, backed by a newcomer - TP Vityl which plays the role of a super bodyguard for the stem cells.  The Dior Capture Totale lineup includes:

Dior Capture Totale Serum - 30ml - $140 - 50ml - $195
Dior Capture Totale Creme Multi-Perfection - 50ml - $135
Dior Capture Totale One Essential - 30ml - $100
