Breakthroughs in Luxe Beauty Products

From LED teeth whiteners to diamond-infused concealers -- see the hot-off-the-press technologies in beauty products

September 21, 2010 | by Molly Roemer | 61 COMMENTS

We hold our breath in anticipation and excitement when Steve Jobs is about to unveil the latest Apple gizmo (unless of course it gets leaked on the internet first �), when the tents go up for New York Fashion Week, and when new technologies in beauty products are disclosed. The latter is naturally our personal fave, so with a dash of science, a little creativity and perhaps a bit of marketing babble, we bring you the latest breakthroughs in luxe beauty products.

See luxe beauty breakthroughs now.

Since some of these beauty products aren't on the shelves yet, we can't quite attest that all of them live up to the claims they boast, but we can say that they sound pretty freakin' cool. You'll find key ingredients from grape stem cells (the latest skin care buzz word, BTW) to Deep Sea Red Algae to diamonds to, um, your own body fat. Many of these beauty products are 2.0 versions of old faves, while others are eye-openingly innovative beauty ideas.

You'll find the latest technologies for the following issues/needs:

� the perfect shade of blush
� puffy eyes
� whiter teeth
� space-saving lip product
� thicker hair
� neck sagging
� longer lashes
� acne
� younger-looking skin
� hair that stays put
� bigger boobs
� tousled hair

This all sounds promising, yes? Then without further ado, read the breakthroughs in luxe beauty products now.

The Stila pH blush sounds awesome.

cool

waste of money

i actually like the zeno. but a lot of these things are pretty cool.

by treehugger1997 Thursday, January 3, 2013 at 09:30PM Report as inappropriate

never used that

by aishak55 Friday, December 21, 2012 at 06:41PM Report as inappropriate

That Zeno product is a complete joke...a waste of money and time.

by MizzPink Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 07:06AM Report as inappropriate

I have read alot about the Clinique repair serum and want to give it a try. The price point is not that bad compared to the creams listed on here!

by Lamexicana1 Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 09:20PM Report as inappropriate

Physicians Formula has a PH based line of blush and lipgloss.

by kimihavens Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at 02:16PM Report as inappropriate

There's no way that some cream can really do all that.

by schien Tuesday, October 9, 2012 at 03:18PM Report as inappropriate

interesting products!

by Chris213 Friday, October 5, 2012 at 07:10AM Report as inappropriate

these sound like good things to try

by LittleBunny Sunday, July 29, 2012 at 05:54PM Report as inappropriate

Temptu Underye Concealer sounds tempting.

by asiagirl4ever Monday, July 16, 2012 at 10:00AM Report as inappropriate

Cool products but I don't think I wanna take the plunge and try one out. Maybe the blush but that's about it.

by darkangel81 Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at 04:39PM Report as inappropriate

Amazing breakthrough products, thanks for sharing!

by MissXu Sunday, April 15, 2012 at 02:38PM Report as inappropriate

La Mer is absolutely amazing. Dr. Brandt's products are not worth their costs. The results are very temporary. I haven't tried the Peter Thomas Roth featured herein, but all of the other products I have tried from Peter Thomas Roth have been wonderful. They are pricey, but definitely well worth it. The Instant firm Temporary Face Tightener is one of the best products I have ever tried. Ever. Highly recommended.

by robyne00 Monday, April 9, 2012 at 05:51PM Report as inappropriate

some of these sound way too good to be true and have pretty low total beauty rankings :(

by sportimonki13 Monday, April 9, 2012 at 11:04AM Report as inappropriate

Some of these definitely sound like a scam.

by olga_cirlugea Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 05:36PM Report as inappropriate

I have heard great reviews about the Clinique repairwear from friends and the price is still reasonable.

by beautybody Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 10:39PM Report as inappropriate

lol i totally agree with you Alisunshine because wow some of these products are so expensive!

by AngelRayn73 Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 07:40PM Report as inappropriate

maybe the answer is just to rub our face and hair with money at least we could keep it afterwards...lol

by Alisunshine Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 11:10AM Report as inappropriate

will look out for the zeno.

by princessmarta1 Sunday, March 25, 2012 at 08:16PM Report as inappropriate

Some of these products don't even have reviews (on this website) yet! Why shell out the cash if you don't know if it will work?

by tallredamanda Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 06:01AM Report as inappropriate

way too expensive but it's always nice to treat yourself at a spa.

by lazorc Sunday, March 18, 2012 at 07:07PM Report as inappropriate

La Mer is amazing

by eatinglipstick Wednesday, March 14, 2012 at 01:31PM Report as inappropriate

Most of this stuff is way too expensive...

by rachaellh13 Sunday, March 11, 2012 at 05:11PM Report as inappropriate

A $200 neck cream is a joke. Wear sunscreen and treat it the same as you would your face in your nightly regime by cleansing and using moisturizer. For $200 I would rather get a great haircut at a fancy salon.

by poisonberry Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 09:53PM Report as inappropriate

Pretty pricey stuff...Will have to see they are worth it before trying any,

by powerwoman033 Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at 03:42PM Report as inappropriate

A little more than I want to spend, but I will keep in mind the ingredients and ideas. Prices will change but we will see what the products do. Some may be worth it.

by Terrastamy Tuesday, January 17, 2012 at 04:49PM Report as inappropriate

we will see. I bought the clinique laser focus foundation and serum this is my 3rd week using it. We will see

costlyy

by Nicole2814 Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 02:26PM Report as inappropriate

My mom uses the la prairie brand... it's so costly!

by MissXu Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 10:41AM Report as inappropriate

expensiveee

by Nicole2814 Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 10:54PM Report as inappropriate

i wanna try the clinique one

by anna_davis Sunday, October 9, 2011 at 04:35PM Report as inappropriate

Me too, I am a beauty junkie!!! I buy so much stuff then stick to the one I love!

by rita_mechin Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 03:18PM Report as inappropriate

too expensive

by LittleBunny Monday, August 15, 2011 at 07:01AM Report as inappropriate

wish I could try all of these!

by Bon_Bon Monday, August 15, 2011 at 02:17AM Report as inappropriate

the only thing i could afford to try would be the avon lipstick.. i mean realistically can we have some options here for people who aren't rolling in money?

by eatinglipstick Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 09:59AM Report as inappropriate

the prices are high

by aguifra14 Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 05:33PM Report as inappropriate

I liked this but can we find some breakthroughs that are not like $170 or more!

by sweettpea29 Monday, June 27, 2011 at 01:43PM Report as inappropriate

I love that there are tons of eyelash growth serums out there now! Revitalash actually worked for me, and my eyelashes are SUPER long now. :D Best Luxe beauty breakthrough for sure!

by LipglossandSpandex Tuesday, June 21, 2011 at 10:20AM Report as inappropriate

ha, the Stila blush is probably the only item I would get

by awan0912 Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 10:35AM Report as inappropriate

Led light Whitener. New to me.

by ebbsandtides Friday, May 27, 2011 at 09:28AM Report as inappropriate

Oh I am going to have try the fatfilled lift.

by tiffany_gallehugh Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 12:13PM Report as inappropriate

awesome!

by yckitsmary Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 01:07PM Report as inappropriate

$200 creams, fat filled facelifts and breast implants aren't for me.

by alictasia Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 05:57PM Report as inappropriate

amazing!

by brendag20127 Monday, March 21, 2011 at 07:17PM Report as inappropriate

that avon stick looks yummy!!

by aly7 Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 04:56PM Report as inappropriate

miracle creams....i dont believe in creams that promise miracles

by judyangel101 Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 01:41PM Report as inappropriate

Great!

by LittleBunny Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 07:17AM Report as inappropriate

wow these look great!

by Bon_Bon Monday, February 21, 2011 at 03:17PM Report as inappropriate

the zeno thing seems interesting ill definitely look into that

by cmiller63 Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at 06:05AM Report as inappropriate

Wow I would love to try some of these

by LittleBunny Tuesday, February 15, 2011 at 06:35AM Report as inappropriate

I really enjoyed this. Some things are pricey, but, if they really work, well I suppose they are worth it.

by Agrimony Thursday, February 10, 2011 at 11:42PM Report as inappropriate

sounds good...but I'll have to do more research before I invest that kind of money

by nani Tuesday, January 25, 2011 at 11:44AM Report as inappropriate

Hmn...kind of pricey...

by royalpoison Tuesday, January 18, 2011 at 11:33PM Report as inappropriate

These are all just $200 wrinkle creams. Where's the stuff for the younger generations?

by CliniqueLover Wednesday, December 22, 2010 at 08:39AM Report as inappropriate

this is all expensive and clinique and stila are probably the only high end thing i'll splurge on. i am interested in the zeno though. i thought it was just a hoax.

by kenya Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at 10:41AM Report as inappropriate

Lots of very expensive creams in this article! I am kind of interested in the Temptu concealer though.

by pynkNymphette Friday, December 17, 2010 at 07:23PM Report as inappropriate

price is a little high. but if it works i would buy it

by vela_smith Friday, November 26, 2010 at 03:40PM Report as inappropriate

Very curious to try this as eye puffiness is my chief concern, but not sure I can stomach the price . . . wow!
