    • ]]>     If it’s time to pamper your lips, now is the perfect time to do so with amazing products that, when purchased, promote the efforts of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. My BCA, Pink Ribbon, product choice’s for your kisser will make your lips feel and look beautiful.

    When I previously reviewed La Mer The Lip Balm I wrote: La Mer The Lip Balm has a very light and lovely mint scent that’s fantastic. The Lip Balm feels very soothing and refreshing. It smoothes and softens the lips. The Lip Balm is very soft…not sticky or heavy at all. It even has a nice minty taste. I’ve also tried using it on my cuticles and it even works really well as a cuticle treatment. I like to get creative with my products. If you happen to have dry or chapped lips…forget it…The Lip Balm is a dream. When I wear it alone, it gives my lips just enough shine. And if I use it before I apply lipstick or lip gloss, it’s makes everything on top of it look even prettier and smoother. Ooh la la, La Mer is always a fabulous choice!

    lemermainLa Mer on The Lip Balm: Worn all day – lips are soothed. Applied at night – lips are renewed. Like the original Crème de la Mer, use every day and the benefits are immediate…yet also long-lasting. $10 from each limited-edition Pink Ribbon La Mer The Lip Balm sold during the month of October will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
    $45.00

    Once you’ve treated your lips to La Mer The Lip Balm, it’s time to put some color on and I’m suggesting that you go to Bobbi Brown for that. I love the Bobbi Brown Pink Ribbon Collection - High Shimmer Lip Gloss & Lip Color. This limited-edition lip set includes a Bellini High Shimmer Lip Gloss and Pink Lip Color. They are both very lovely shades of pink and come packaged together in a pink box. I have to say that I am actually a huge fan of the color pink. For me, it’s a very happy color. So, not only do I love the awareness and support that I see for BCA, but I also just absolutely love all of the pink that I see during the month of October. Pink, pink, pink!

    In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics continues to empower women and provide them with the necessary tools to go from pretty to pretty powerful. “When you feel good about yourself there’s no limit to what you can do - and that’s pretty powerful.” - Bobbi Brown

    • ]]>     lamersqTrue story! I was merely inches away from writing a review about La Mer’s The Eye Concentrate to tell you how much I love it and that it’s my new favorite eye cream when…I tried The Eye Balm Intense from La Mer. That instantly took the front seat, the blue ribbon, the top of the list! I can’t believe it! If it’s possible, La Mer has my TWO current favorite eye creams. In the skin care race they are almost neck and neck with The Eye Balm Intense in the lead. Stop the presses! Why is this eye cream SO amazing? Oh, right….it’s La mer! Of course La Mer would be the one skin care line that would give me, not one, but two favorite eye creams. And I have to say, the most common product that I’m asked about is eye cream. Everyone wants to know what the best eye cream is and it’s always such a hard question to answer. It sometimes seems like there’s not one eye cream out there that does all of what you want it to. No matter how much money you spend on your eye cream, it’s not going to take ten years off your face. I hear more complaints about eye creams than any other product. There is a list that so many of us seem to have of what our creams aren’t doing for us. We have to accept that there isn’t going to be one eye cream that will live up to all of our expectations. BUT, La Mer is coming closer than anything else for me. Seriously…from the moment I delicately glided the tip of my finger across The Eye Balm Intense cream, I was in eye cream heaven. It’s the exact texture that I’ve been looking for. The Eye Concentrate was the eye cream that came closest to exactly what I wanted in texture/feel and results. But the second my finger even touched The Eye Balm Intense, it was a skin care love affair. Bliss! And then dabbing it around my eyes, I couldn’t believe how amazing it felt. Light, creamy, silky! It absorbs well while staying moist. It’s perfection!

    The Eye Balm Intense is a sure thing. I’m absolutely in love with this product. And yes, I still love The Eye Concentrate as well. Basically, this is the moment when I realize that I am a true spoiled rotten skin care princess. I want BOTH of my La Mer eye creams! If you truly want to pamper yourself to the best eye cream I’ve found so far… treat yourself to The Eye Balm Intense. Always loving La Mer!

    • ]]>     lamerblma2Yes, Gorgeous…La Mer has a Lip Balm. When I hear the name La Mer, I tend to have very high expectations. Once again, I’ve found another product from La Mer that I love. It’s not surprising in the least. I mean really, is it? Anyone who uses La Mer seems to truly have a love affair with La Mer. And, for me…seeing the La Mer packaging is similar to seeing the famous blue Tiffany & Co. bag. All you have to do is show up with that little blue Tiffany bag and I get excited. Anything could be inside….but just seeing that Tiffany bag gets my girlie heart racing. I can’t help it, none of us can. And, just like the Tiffany bag, the sight of the La Mer packaging even makes you feel spoiled rotten because you know what’s inside is fabulous . La Mer The Lip Balm has a very light and lovely mint scent that’s fantastic. The Lip Balm feels very soothing and refreshing. It smoothes and softens the lips. The Lip Balm is very soft…not sticky or heavy at all. It even has a nice minty taste. I’ve also tried using it on my cuticles and it even works really well as a cuticle treatment. I like to get creative with my products. If you happen to have dry or chapped lips…forget it…The Lip Balm is a dream. When I wear it alone, it gives my lips just enough shine. And if I use it before I apply lipstick or any other color lip gloss…it’s makes everything on top of it look even prettier and smoother. Ooh la la, La Mer is always a fabulous choice!

    • ]]>     If you want to take spoiled rotten to the next level in skincare, you might consider getting The Mist from La Mer. I love this product! I have to be honest, it makes me feel like a spoiled rotten skincare princess…and I love that. It’s so refreshing and perfect for hot summer days. Need a nice “pick me up” in the middle of the day? Reach for your La Mer Mist. I’m reaching for mine several times a day. I’d like to have a bottle in each room of my house…and one for the car. Dear La Mer: Please send more right away! I’m completely addicted. A small tear forms in the corner of my eye when I think of running out. The Mist is one of those skincare extras that makes you feel especially pampered and uplifted. I love the perfect amount of mist in each pump. It comes out smelling sweet and subtle with a very slight hint of rose in the scent. Instant hydration! I absolutely love it. Spoiled rotten skincare princess, indeed!

    Product info: Mist onto face and neck anytime skin feels dehydrated. Can be sprayed onto cotton pads and applied to closed eyelids for several minutes to revive tired eyes and relax dry tension lines.

    • ]]>     Ooh la la! La Mer is like that one pair of shoes you stare at through the window at Barney’s and daydream about wearing. Super, high-end, fabulous product! The application process of La Mer to my face and neck feels like a sweet and selfish ritual. This rich and very creamy moisturizer defines spoiled rotten spa girl. After I’ve smoothed it over my face and neck, my skin looks luminous. Yes, I’m bragging. It’s La Mer…one can brag! One of the nourishing key ingredients of this cream is sea kelp which helps detoxify skin and improve elasticity. Packed with vitamins and minerals, La Mer is very soothing for dry and sensitive skin. Although you can use this cream day and night, I prefer to use it at night for my face and I use it both day and night on my neck. Because it’s so thick and rich, I prefer to use it on my face in the evening but will use it on my face during the day if my skin is in need of extra hydration. Then, I dab it on dray patches. But in the evenings it’s all about the La Mer experience. Want to really pamper your skin? Voila! Stop staring at it through the window, daydreaming, and just treat yourself to it.

    Product info: Crème de la Mer. Warm a small amount between your fingertips and pat onto clean skin. For face, neck and under the fragile eye area.
