CHANEL Summer 2008 Lipstick Shades

About the Summer 2008 Collection: "The season's most alluring getaway looks with a beautifully edited makeup collection of heat-baked sands, golden browns, sunset bronzes and an array of khakis."

On the new Rouge Hydrabase shades: "Long-lasting ROUGE HYDRABASE Creme Lipstick delivers deeply moisturizing colour in two new limited-edition shades: Leopard, a golden coral, and Rose Flamingo, a bright pink."

On the new Rouge Allure shades: "Iconic ROUGE ALLURE Luminous Satin Lip Colour offers lustrous colour and ultra-wearability in two new heat-seeking shades: Naïve, a pink nude, and Curious, a nude brown."

Jen's Experience: I tested out two of Chanel's new shades for summer, Rouge Allure in Curious and Rouge Hydrabase in Leopard, and I have to tell you, fair DeLush readers, I am really in love with these colors. My favorite of the two is the Rouge Allure in Curious. It's a nude color that looks great with pale skin, great with bronzer, great with a little make-up or a more dramatic look. It looks especially gorgeous with a coordinating gloss on top. Basically, this is the kind of perfect color that I like to stockpile and stash tubes in my purse and my desk at work.

The Rouge Hydrabase in Leopard looks more like a red against my pale skin, so I have gotten less wear out of it than the other shade, but that doesn't mean it isn't a fantastic shade. Those looking for a red that isn't too overwhelming might consider checking it out. I don't really like the formula for the Hydrabase as much. Despite the name, I don't feel like it hydrates quite as well as the Allure, but it does last an awfully long time, and that does mean a lot in my book.

Retail Price: $26.00 - Rouge Hydrabase, $30.00 - Rouge Allure (both available at Chanel.com or your local department store)

Protect Yourself and Loved Ones with a FREE Cancer Screening, Sponsored by Olay with Spokesperson Marcia Cross

Cincinnati, May 1, 2008- In recognition of Skin Cancer Awareness Month this May, Olay and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) have joined forces for the fourth year for "Skin Cancer Takes Friends," a nationwide free skin cancer screening program that encourages Americans to bring their friends to a participating dermasurgeon's office for a free skin cancer screening. Together with "Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross, Olay and the ASDS are working to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and detection in the fight against skin cancer.

More than one million Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer this year. This is an astounding number for one of the few cancers where the cause of the majority of cases is known: excessive sun exposure. While some people are more at risk than others, anyone, regardless of skin color or age, can develop skin cancer.

Someone dies of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, nearly every hour. Yet when detected and treated early, it is almost 100 percent curable. Women ages 20-29 are particularly vulnerable, with melanoma ranking as the second most common form of cancer in the age group. Often the symptoms of skin cancer are elusive to those who do not know what to look for. As the incidence of skin cancer continues to rise, Olay and the ASDS urge women to join the fight against this growing silent killer by sharing these shocking statistics with loved ones, conducting monthly self-screenings and scheduling a free screening with a dermatologist for themselves and a friend. Regular screenings combined with daily protection from the sun's harmful UV rays are essential to avoid falling victim to melanoma.
