Categories: Beauty » Fragrances, Beauty » Makeup, Beauty » Skin | Tagged , ,

There comes an hour in every workday when we look…a bit faded. The Beauty Live team, (the experts who field your live questions on NeimanMarcus.com,) came up with three must-haves for what they call the 4pm Rescue:

Edward BessSolution: Edward Bess Deep Shine Lip Gloss, in Endless Love

What it Does: Nourishes and protects the lips with an exclusive treatment to ensure fullness.

Why We Love It: This universally flattering shade is a perfect pout pick-me-up during the 4pm Rescue.

Benefits: A treatment gloss with a luminous finish provides radiance and hydration to the lips.

Key Ingredients: Vitamin A and E

Price: $30

Bulgari Wrinkle FillerSolution: Bulgari Touche Precieuse Wrinkle Filler

What it Does: This weightless gel fills in and softens lines and wrinkles to create a satiny surface instantly. Immediately. Right now.

Why We Love It: Simply apply it over makeup and be amazed as the texture of your skin is immediately transformed.

Benefits: It provides instant gratification, yes. However, it also uses Bulgari skincare technology to address those worrisome lines and wrinkles with long-term use. It is a member of the elusive and very rare breed: quick-fix-and-treatment-product-in-one.

Key Ingredients: Patented Bulgari Gem Essence to nourish, renew, and protect; Polypeptide III to stimulate collagen, improve elasticity, and bring back radiance; Hyaluronic Acid Microspheres (tiny water “magnets” with incredible power to hold water and fill fine lines and wrinkles.)

Price: $85 for two 0.17-ounce tubes

Chantecaille RosewaterSolution: Chantecaille Rosewater

What it Does: It sits on your desk, an innocent and unassuming bottle. Little do your coworkers know the power you yield when you remove the cap, close your eyes, recline ever-so-slightly in your office chair, and spray your dull, dry, parched complexion with a ridiculously fine mist of 99.9% pure rosewater. (No, it is not the spa. But we do what we can.) Suddenly, it’s as if the cubicle walls have parted and the electro-magnetized office air has been carried away on a soft, gentle breeze from a French garden.

Why We Love It: Dewy, luminous, radiant, glowing, refreshed, renewed, lovely—we love feeling all these things. Use it as a toner. Use it to set makeup in the a.m. By all means, use it for the 4 p.m. Rescue.

Benefits: It is anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, uplifting and healing.

Key Ingredients: 99.9% botanical Rose de Mai petals distilled in Artesian well water.

Price: $56, 3.4 ounces in a glass bottle with spray.
