To add to the appeal of the model, Lexus has announced it is now available in a special Limited Edition version.<br /><span class="fullpost"> <br />The new IS 250C Limited Edition will be distinguished by black and red semi-aniline fine leather interior, perfect for cutting a dash when driving with the top down. Each unit will get a numbered badge fixed inside the glovebox in order to denote its special status. The model is equipped with a quick and quiet deploying electric folding roof that goes up and down in just a few seconds after the touch of a button.<br /><br />Also available in time for the summer is a panoramic glass roof option for the Lexus RX 450h SE-I, available as a build-to-order option for £900. Seamlessly integrated into the design of the hybrid crossover, the fixed roof allows light to flood into the cabin.<br /><br />The special edition model is based on the regular SE-L and as such comes fitted as standard with 18-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, electric one-touch easy access to the rear seats, eight-way electrically adjustable front seats with built-in ventilation and heating plus climate control that automatically adjusts temperature settings when the roof is down. Available for order now, the IS 250C Limited Edition is priced in the UK at £39,990 on the road.<br /><br /> <br /><br /><center><a class="cboxElement" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5LAhzxVt_3Y/Tginkt5ExnI/AAAAAAAEnlw/t2a-dc84LgQ/s1600/Lexus-IS-250C-LE-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); "><img alt="Lexus Summer Limited Edition 250C" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622928384008177266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5LAhzxVt_3Y/Tginkt5ExnI/AAAAAAAEnlw/t2a-dc84LgQ/s200/Lexus-IS-250C-LE-2.jpg" style="position: relative; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 86px; border: 0px initial initial; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px; background: initial initial initial initial initial" /></a><a class="cboxElement" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jSqzA33pfXM/TginlDps5ZI/AAAAAAAEnl4/zGfwJV-eaTo/s1600/Lexus-IS-250C-LE-3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); "><img alt="Lexus Summer Limited Edition 250C" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622928389849277842" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jSqzA33pfXM/TginlDps5ZI/AAAAAAAEnl4/zGfwJV-eaTo/s200/Lexus-IS-250C-LE-3.jpg" style="position: relative; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 86px; border: 0px initial initial; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px; background: initial initial initial initial initial" /></a><a class="cboxElement" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bDRj_QZ_np8/TginlZuSqaI/AAAAAAAEnmA/bj71iqUoKYc/s1600/Lexus-IS-250C-LE-4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); "><img alt="Lexus Summer Limited Edition 250C" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622928395774110114" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bDRj_QZ_np8/TginlZuSqaI/AAAAAAAEnmA/bj71iqUoKYc/s200/Lexus-IS-250C-LE-4.jpg" style="position: relative; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; cursor: pointer; width: 130px; height: 86px; border: 0px initial initial; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 0px; background: initial initial initial initial initial" /></a></center></span><p>

5 Totally Unnecessary (but Common) Beauty Products

Steer clear of the following five beauty product categories to keep your makeup regime and cosmetics budget looking good.<br /><br /><b>1. Foundation Primers</b><br />Foundation primers are said to smooth out the skin and prepare it for the application of foundation. However, most primers are made from silicone-based formulas, which can clog pores, and the results are negligible. Investing in quality cleansers and moisturizers will do more than any foundation primer.<br /><br /><b>2. Toners</b><br />Toners are alcohol-based products that are intended to get rid of any additional traces of oil or makeup from your face after you wash it. However, alcohol is harsh on the skin. A good cleanser, often in conjunction with makeup remover, can easily eliminate all the makeup and dirt from your face, making a toner pretty much pointless.<br /><br /><b>3. Cellulite Creams</b><br />The appearance of cellulite is caused by the connective tissue that separates the fat in our bodies from the dermis. Holes in the tissue cause fat to protrude through the tissue, creating a dimply appearance to the skin. While 80 to 90 percent of adult women have cellulite and wish they didn’t, no topical treatment can reduce body fat or change the structure of our connective tissue. Which means cellulite creams are about as effective as snake oil—regardless of what the price or promise.<br /><br /><b>4. Lip Plumpers</b><br />Lip plumpers work one of two ways. They either boost collagen and maximize lip hydration through proprietary formulas or make blood vessels temporarily dilate by employing irritating agents like camphor or menthol. However, the results are minimal and temporary. A better bet is to keep lips moisturized with a lip balm and add a shimmery gloss to the center of your lips to create the appearance of enhanced fullness.<br /><br /><b>5. Eye Creams</b><br />Unless you have very sensitive skin that’s prone to developing millia (small, hard keratin-filled cysts that are sometimes confused with whiteheads) or you want a targeted eye cream with different active ingredients than your moisturizer, there’s really no need for a separate eye product. Also, many eye creams do not contain sunscreen the way most moisturizers do, so if you do opt for a separate cream, make sure you’re taking precautions against sun damage around your eyes.<br /><br />by Kaboodle.com <br /><br /><b>Similar Posts:</b> <br /><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/06/natural-cosmetics-from-around-world.html">Natural Cosmetics From Around The World</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/06/luxury-anika-resurfacing-facial-ritual.html">Luxury Anika Resurfacing Facial Ritual</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-do-eye-makeup.html">How to do eye makeup?</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/05/elie-saab-launches-first-fragrance.html">Elie Saab launches first fragrance</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/05/french-houses-honored-at-french.html">French houses honored at French fragrance awards</a><br /><a href="http://jordanpicture.blogspot.com/2011/04/moscow-art-museum-honors-dior.html">Moscow art museum honors Dior</a> <br /><br /><b>Save and share 5 Totally Unnecessary (but Common) Beauty Products</b><br /><br />To share this post with your family and friends?
