The Eye Balm Intense is powered with a triple concentration of La Mer’s seaborne elixir—The Miracle Broth™, state-of-the-art Marine De-Puff Ferment™ and exclusive Lifting Ferment™. What does that mean? It means it works with some of the most powerful ingredients made, and it works well and fast. I have only been using the Eye Balm Intense for a few days and some results are almost immediate.
I love how the Eye Balm Intense immediately comforts my entire eye are with a gentle cooling sensation as I apply. It noticeably hydrates the area and depuffs as it smoothes it overall. Over time, I am told that I will continue to see the results as puffiness will dramatically decrease and fine lines and wrinkles smooth out even more.
Do not let the name "balm" fool you though. When I think of a balm, I think of a lip balm or a more solid form of treatment. While Eye Balm Intense looks rich, it goes on feeling like a lotion, not heavy at all, but hydrating.
I do not use the applicator when applying, but purchasing the Eye Balm Intense at full size, comes with its special cooling silver-tipped applicator. This applicator was created to help stimulate micro-circulation, working in synergy with The Eye Balm Intense to help aid in de-puffing, while specifically designed to pick up the precise amount of product needed for each application.
The Eye Balm Intense, which will retail for $145, will be available this month at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and online at lamer.com.

]]>I have not quite decided how to show you each gloss. What do you think? Should I take a picture of me wearing the gloss each day or photograph each one and swatch it. I want to bring you the look of each color, along with the description. Which would you rather see? Please take a few seconds to answer my poll so I can know how you wish me to bring the Gloss of the Day to you.

Vanessa Scali, celebrity makeup artist, gave us the rundown with all of the details on Christina’s look.
Face:
Vanessa prepped the skin with Lancôme’s La Base Pro. To perfect Christina’s already luminous skin, Vanessa used Lancôme’s new Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within Makeup. “It has an amazing transparent quality that leaves the skin looking flawless and luminous without being shiny,” said Vanessa. “I applied it with a brush and then blended with my fingers.” Blending with her fingers heated up the foundation a bit, allowing for a seamless finish. Vanessa followed with Effacernes Concealer under the eyes, her “all time favorite concealer.”
Cheeks:
For a fresh pop of color I used Lancôme’s Blush Subtil Shimmer in Pink Pool on the apples of her cheeks. Dabs of Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Fluid Sheer #2 highlighted Christina’s cheekbones.
Eyes:
The eye shadow was mix of YSL’s Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in Cashmere Brown and Midnight Black. “I applied these all over her lid, under the bottom lashes and blended it out past her natural lash line to softly elongate the eye,” reported Vanessa.
Eye Liner:
To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa lined the eyes with Lancôme’s Le Crayon Khôl in Black. “I used a touch of liner under her bottom lashes but smudged it for a softer look,” said Vanessa. For added depth, Vanessa used Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir at the very base of Christina’s lashes.
Mascara:
Several generous coats of Lancôme Définicils Waterproof Mascara in Black were used on the top and bottom lashes.
Lips:
Christina’s lips were a mix of Lancôme lip colors for an effect that Vanessa described as “red with a little dash of pink.” A sheer coat of Color Design Matte Lipstick in Corset was topped by La Laque Fever Lipshine in Cyber Coral.
