According to the press release I received this morning:Estée Lauder, the flagship brand of The Estée Lauder Companies, Inc.,today named world-renowned makeup artist Tom Pecheux Creative Makeup Director.A favorite of top photographers, stylists and fashion editors around the world for his sophisticated take on Parisian glamour, Pecheux will work closely with the Estée Lauder brand to help set artistic direction for thenext generation of Estée Lauder makeup and communicate his point of view on modern beauty to consumers, press and fashion and beauty influencers.“We are incredibly excited to partner with Tom Pecheux,” said Jane Hertzmark Hudis, Global Brand President, Estée Lauder. “Tom will add a new energy, style and fashion edge to Estée Lauder makeup. His intuitive senseof color and expertise in global beauty trends will help us redefine modern color in a bold new way.”Beginning in Spring 2010, new, high-impact color products influenced by Pecheux will appear at Estée Lauder counters. Pecheux’s makeup artistry will be featured in new advertising campaigns with Estée Lauder model Hilary Rhoda.Pecheux began his career three decades ago by assisting the legendary makeup artist Linda Cantello but it was through his close creative relationships with Mario Testino and Carine Roitfeld at the start of the 1990s that Pecheux established himself as a leading force in makeup.

I know this will be a great creative partnership.”Throughout his career, Pecheux has consistently worked with the finest fashion photographers, including Mario Testino, Patrick Demarchelier, Craig McDean, Peter Lindbergh, and Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

Reveal an all-new you with at-home peeling treatments that whisk away dead skin and debris quickly and effectively.
Comodynes Easy Peeling
These convenient individually wrapped towelettes utilize detoxifying microspheres to eliminate rough skin and clarify pores while active biological ingredients stimulate the regeneration of cells. My thoughts: This product imparted a slight sting upon application, and my skin felt a little parched initially, but it was nothing a little dab of moisturizer couldn't fix. My skin was noticeably smoother, and the towelette application is always a convenient plus. $14 for 8 towelettes, comodynes.net
Estée Lauder Idealist Dual-Action Refinishing Treatment
An at-home alternative to micro-dermabrasion or glycolic peels, a thermal action (self warming) formula open pores to release impurities as concentrated levels of Salicylic Acid and Glucosamine leaves skin clearer brighter and smoother than ever. My thoughts: I am totally in love with this treatment. When I read about it initially, I thought the warming sensation was cheesy (think Biore of the late '90s) but it's actually therapeutic and super-soothing. Additionally, my skin feels as soft as can be, and pores are much smaller after a few weeks of bi-weekly application. Consider me addicted. $49.50, esteelauder.com
