Laura Mercier’s new high coverage concealer for under eye is here! This amazing eye concealer is packaged in a small tube with a long point where the concealer comes out in mini drops. These small drops of concealer are easy to apply with dots under the eyes where coverage is needed. After applying the concealer in dots under the eye, Laura Mercier’s new high coverage eye concealer can easily be smoothed into skin creating a clean canvas on the face  and hiding everything which needs to be hidden under the eye! Bye bye dark circles!

I have found it difficult to find a good eye concealer over the years since the color always seems to be slightly off from the color of my foundation making the portion under my eyes too white. Laura Mercier’s new high coverage concealer blends perfectly with my foundation and smooths into skin without leaving a trace. This allows Laura Mercier’s high coverage concealer to properly hide imperfections under the eye without being detected. Perfection!

Laura Mercier’s high coverage concealer also lasts all day without melting in humidity and hot weather. Love that! Laura Mercer’s new high coverage concealer for under eye can be found online here, here and here.

Dolce & Gabbana has added a new finishing powder to their collection; the “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder.” This fabulous new make-up addition is light, luxurious and the perfect way to finish off your face!

Unlike a foundation powder or bronzer, Dolce & Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” offers a light, translucent radiance to the face which is natural and does not clog pores. Love that! The “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” sets your foundation and concealer with an invisible touch which lasts throughout the day.

I tested out Dolce & Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” on warm days, cool days and rainy days. With each type of weather and air conditions, the “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” by Dolce & Gabbana held up without allowing my face to shine or my foundation to melt. Love it!

Dolce & Gabbana’s “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” is also a nice, light powder to wear on days when you do not want to wear foundation; it controls shine and offers a fresh faced look.

The new “Perfection Veil Pressed Powder” by Dolce & Gabbana is priced at $60 and can be found online here and here.


Dermalogica skin hydrating booster review

I love being outdoors; which includes swimming, playing tennis, hiking and watching my kids play sports from the sidelines. This means my skin is constantly in the sun, wind; and who knows what! My biggest skincare challenge is keeping my skin moisturized so that it does not get dry, flaky and start to peel. So, I was thrilled when iFABBO sent me a sample of Dermalogica’s “Skin Hydrating Booster“ to test out. This sounded like the product my embattled skin needed!

Dermalogica’s “Skin Hydrating Booster” is used after applying moisturizer. My moisturizer is normally fine, except in the mid to late spring when my skin is in the sun a lot and gets a workout! I applied Dermalogica’s “Skin Hydrating Booster” after my facial cream and it added a little bit of softness to my skin. I proceeded to watch my daughter’s soccer game and then my son’s little league game; leaving my face out in the sun and wind for roughly three hours.

When I got home, I was thrilled! Instead of my skin feeling dry, it felt perfect! My skin felt the same after three hours in the sun as it had when I first left the house in the morning before the games. This is definitely the add-on my skin needs on days when I am outside!

I will rate Dermalogica’s “Skin Hydrating Booster” five out of five stars 😉
