Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer

I first was introduced to the Face Finishing Moisturizer when I received a sample with purchase.  That is pretty much all it took to get my hooked.  While I like Creme de La Mer, it can be a bit heavy during the summer or in the mornings.  This moisturizer has a consistency more like a lotion, but still  provides all the hydration that a cream would. I love that it is paraben-free and loaded with antioxidants.  The moisturizer contains Vitamin C, fulfilling part of a new year’s skin care resolution.  Even though it is loaded with anti-oxidents and anti-aging ingredients, it does not smell or act medicinal in the least bit.  It dries matte but is still luminizing, so no wonder photographers like to work with it.  It is worth the splurge and I think it will be outstanding during the summer months. 

La MER ‘The Eye Concentrate’

I’m a lucky girl… my mom shares her La Mer samples with me.  Given the price point of La Mer products, it is hard to recommend them to the public at large… but I just can’t help myself.  Over Thanksgiving, my mom generously donated five samples of La MER ‘The Eye Concentrate’ to me.  I have dark circles – it’s genetic (thanks, dad!).  For the last four days, I have used the concentrate morning and night and I actually think it looks better.  I guess if I had been rubbing hundred dollar bills on my eyes, I would think the same thing.  But hey – who’s against the power of suggestion.  If you come across samples, or are in for a splurge, this is good stuff.
