Boots Becomes Exclusive Stockist of Celebrity Makeup Artist Cosmetics Brand

Boots Becomes Exclusive Stockist of Celebrity Makeup Artist Cosmetics Brand

Boots. com gain exclusive stockist status for myface. cosmetics the new cosmetics brand from renowned makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury.

(PRWEB) October 26, 2008

Charlotte Tilbury is one of the most influential make-up artists in the world, whose client roster includes Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, Gwen Stefani and Drew Barrymore, to name but a few. She is now allowing every woman "access" to her professional expertise with the launch of the make-up brand myface. cosmetics that syncs a person's make-up with their skin tone.

Boots (http://www. boots. com/ (http://www. boots. com/)) will be stocking myface. comestics exclusively on its website, which is the UK's number one health and beauty online retailer.

Combining the expertise of a high profile make-up artist with high quality products and high-tech packaging, myface. cosmetics has ceremoniously ended mass confusion in the make-up aisles. By merchandising colours and shades according to skintone, both online and in store, myface. cosmetics creates an easy-to-shop user-friendly experience.

Charlotte believes that the vast majority of women are concerned with the make-up colours that most suit them, rather than application techniques, and therefore the range is based on this insight, with each shade picked to work with a specific skin tone - fair, medium and medium/dark.

Charlotte Tilbury said: "The most common question people ask me is 'What colour lip gloss, blush etc. would you use on my face?' The right colours dramatically enhance your overall appearance and the wrong ones can really detract." This refreshingly prescriptive approach to make up (http://www. boots. com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay? catalogId=11051&categoryId=4711&langId=-1&storeId=10052 (http://www. boots. com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay? catalogId=11051&categoryId=4711&langId=-1&storeId=10052)) seems blindingly obvious and yet has never been done before.

The range consists of ten lines, from light ethereal foundations to lip pop gloss and upload mascara for loaded lashes. Each line has shades that are recommended for each of the skin types.

Celeste Sinclair, Beauty Buyer for boots. com said, "We are so excited to have myface cosmetics (http://www. boots. com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay? categoryParentId=3633&langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=11051&categoryId=38342 (http://www. boots. com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay? categoryParentId=3633&langId=-1&storeId=10052&catalogId=11051&categoryId=38342)) as an exclusive brand on our site.

Now, by creating a program that helps make the cost of fertility treatment more affordable, we can help more patients conceive and deliver a healthy baby.”

“We introduced Cobroxin, through e-commerce websites, during the last quarter of 2009. This quarter, we are pleased to report that the product has been reviewed and accepted by 40% of the 105,000 retail stores selling healthcare products across the United States, as reported by Chain Drug Review magazine,” said Frank Rizzo, President and CEO of XenaCare Holdings. “We anticipate the average retailer will place an opening order of $80 per store location.

The Company recently expanded this targeted outreach to include advertising in the upcoming 2010 Super Bowl XLIV program guide and the 2010 NBA All-Star Game program guide.

Cobroxin will also be featured in direct response advertising with 60 second spots beginning in late January 2010.

Finally, XenaCare Holdings has begun production for a series of television commercials scheduled to air in April. Additional details regarding these commercials will be released in the near-term.

Additionally, Cobroxin will be sold through most mass market retailers, including major drugstore chains and supermarkets, as well as online at Cobroxin. com, Amazon. com, Overstock. com and Drugstore. com.

Is There Healing in Mysticism?

Is There Healing in Mysticism?

The Circle of the Healing Drum is pleased to announce their inaugural event, “Healing Through Mysticism.” The Circle of the Healing Drum is an active newly formed mystic circle in Bend, OR. They invoke the ancient practices of working with ones body energy field to heal emotionally, spiritually, and physically through use of drums and teachings, sometimes referred to as shamanic healing.

Bend, OR (PRWEB) January 17, 2005

Shamanic healing is a spiritual and energetic method of healing that deals with the spiritual aspect of illness. There are three common causes of illness, in the shamanÂ’s worldview. A person may have lost his or her power, causing depression, chronic illness, or a series of misfortunes. In this case, the shaman journeys to restore that personÂ’s lost power.

Over tens of thousands of years, mankind’s ancient ancestors all over the world discovered how to maximize human abilities of mind and spirit for healing and problem-solving. This remarkable system of methods has developed into what is know today as "shamanism," a term that comes from a Siberian tribal word for its practitioners: "shaman" (pronounced SHAH-mahn). The word shaman comes through Russian from the Evenk people of Siberia (referred to as Tungus by Russians). It is sometimes spelled saman, but shaman is more accurate. For much too long, Spirit has been left out of Western medicine. Now's a chance to bring Spirit back and assist in healing and living a longer, healthier life - through these shamans' ancient healing practices. The Circle of the Healing Drum will be exploring and teaching these principals in their inaugural workshop event, “Healing Through Mysticism”, on February 5th, 2005.
