The Ultimate in At-Home Luxury: The Hydrating Facial from La Mer.

Wouldn't it be a dream to indulge in an actual spa facial with the bevy of La Mer products? Talk about a treat. Well, I have not heard of this being available, but the next best thing is. Introducing the Hydrating Facial from La Mer.

Skin concerns such as dryness, fine lines and dark spots are all addressed in the 100% cotton, two-zoned mask that is saturated with the fast-acting formula.

La Mer’s Hydrating Facial contains a trio of transformative benefits that makes this new product so effective:

Super Hydrators - The Sea Moist Ferment, a special blend of dark green algae gathered from all over the world in countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Brittany and the US, infuses the skin with intense hydration.

Super Anti-Agers - Marine plant algae such as Ascophyllum Nodosum and Aparagopsis Armata help
to diminish visible signs of aging. Dark spots and discoloration begin to fade in appearance, revealing a clearer, more even complexion. The Hydrating Facial also contains cellular lipids and plant extracts derived from melon and avocado to
provide a smoother skin texture.

Super Energizers- Ultra soft to the touch, the spun-lace cotton mask is embedded with tourmaline and Mariponic Ferments that energize and set molecules into motion. The Hydrating Facial mask drives the formula into the skin, boosting hydration.

This advanced formula saturates the plush mask for enhanced penetration to condition and soothe sensitivities. Skin becomes softer and looks smoother.

For the ultimate facial, apply this mask for eight minutes, once a week, and follow up with a layer of Crème de la Mer. Yes, the ultimate at-home facial - from a luxury brand, no less.

The Hydrating Facial is available today at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and www.lamer.com

 

Emmy Watch: Drew Barrymore's Beauty Look.

Another one of my favorite looks from last night's Emmy Awards was that of Ms. Drew Barrymore. Drew fails to disappoint as of late, and she got it right again, this time on the red carpet.

Drew’s Emmy look was created by celebrity makeup artist Debra Ferullo.

 

The look was classic, feminine and beautiful, with a bold lip, pinky cheeks and long lashes, a modern Grace Kelly.

 

 

"I started by prepping the skin with a moist sponge and La Mer Moisturizer. It's always best to moisturize damp skin, so it can soak up the moisture. Then, I added La Mer Concentrate to act as a primer and set the skin for the makeup application.

 

On Drew’s skin I used just a touch of foundation to make sure her skin shined through. If you don’t need a lot of coverage, I suggest selecting a foundation that is a perfect match for your skin and use sparingly. For the cheek, I started with a pinky cream blush over the cheekbone and then set it with a peach powder blush to add some shimmer.

 

For this look, we focused in on Drew's perfectly proportioned lips and played up her shape with a velvety, matte pink lip color that really popped. When prepping the skin, be sure to apply a balm to the lips so that they are moist and soft in time for the lipcolor application.

 

For the eyes, we wanted to offset her bold lip with soft shimmer and ultra long lashes. I dusted her eyes with Chanel Silky Eyeshadow in gold and then played with warm colors like brown and maroon in the crease area. I didn't want any lines, just depth, so I went over her eyes with a cream at the end to soften the look. Then, I used COVERGIRL ExactEyelights Eye Brightening Liner in Vivid Ruby around the lash line to subtly enhance her shape. To play up her feminine look and classic set eyes, I used three coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Length Mascara to give her a beautiful fan of extra long lashes from corner to corner. To keep the look natural, I used one coat of mascara on her bottom lashes.

 

To create this look at home, start of slow and build from there.  Keep the skin fresh. If you tend to need heavier coverage, use a foundation with more pigment to cover any spots but make sure it’s not too oily because it will crease along the skin. Define the cheek and blend, blend, blend to create a soft, classic look."

 

Hw fun is it that Drew brought her very own Outlast Lipstain in Berry Smooch with her to keep her bold lip vibrant throughout the night? She defintiely knows what works for her.

La Mer Introduces The Radiant Concealer.

The Max Huber Research Labs unveils the next generation of Skincolor: The Radiant Concealer SPF 25.

 

 

 

This lightweight cream-to-powder concealer was formulated to instantly camouflage and ease imperfections. Tourmaline and malachite gemstones capture light energy to instantly conceal dark circles and blemishes. The Radiant Concealer SPF 25 optically erases imperfections to create a smooth even finish. It is also offers all day wear with 8 hours of treatment color coverage.


Precious marine and plant extracts help reduce the appearance of dark under eye circles, puffiness, and pores. Meanwhile, with use, visible redness and discoloration are diminished as a soothing chamomile extract and an Asian mushroom called Viapure Poria continuously calms and soothes the skin. A unique polymer mesh technology delivers buildable, diaphanous layers to create a crease-resistant flexible/breathable application.


All this science helps skin stay naturally flawless all day, while it even helps to protect the skin with SPF 25.


The Radiant Concealer SPF 25 is available in three translucent full coverage, skin-perfecting, radiance-enhancing hues: Ivory, Beige, and Natural Warm. It retails for $65 and is just on counter at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and lamer.com.
