If you have been following my blog for awhile, you already know I am a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s bath products. Laura Mercier’s honey bath collection is a luxurious line of bubble baths which offer moisturizing properties and warm fragrances. Laura Mercier’s line of souffle body creme is equally luxurious; offering warm fragrances and vitamin-packed moisture. Love that!

For the 2014 holiday season, Laura Mercier is offering a beautiful gift box with both the Golden Honey Musk honey and Golden Honey Musk souffle body creme together as a duet. Love it! These beautiful smelling skin care products would normally cost $53 when purchased separately, but as a duet, they are priced at only $50. Perfect holiday gift!

Laura Mercier’s Golden Honey Musk Duet is a limited edition gift set for the holiday 2014 season. I love the idea of giving someone two of my favorite fragrant, skin care products in a pretty box. Golden Honey Musk is such a beautiful scent which is warm and ideal for the winter months. It makes the perfect gift!

I give both products in Laura Mercier’s Golden Honey Musk duet five out of five stars. I’m in love with this gift set!

Dolce & Gabbana skin care

Dolce & Gabbana has introduced skin care to their beauty collection! This luxurious collection of skin care includes daily skin moisturizer, eye gel, SPF protection and skin cleansers. As a huge fan of Dolce & Gabbana’s make-up line, I was thrilled to hear the designing duo branched out to skin care.

I have spent the better part of my life outdoors. This means my skin has taken a beating from sun, wind and swimming pool chemicals. As my skin ages, I am also aware of fine lines and loss of radiance in my overall skin tone. Dolce & Gabbana’s new skin care collection promises to restore radiance, prevent and reduce fine lines, moisturize and protect skin from the sun through SPF protection. Love that!

I tested out Dolce & Gabbana’s new Cleansing Oil, Aurealux Eye Gel and Aurealux Cream. I have to admit, I am impressed! I have tried a variety of skin care products over the years, and very few have caught my attention. Dolce & Gabbana’s products worked extremely well on my aging, combination skin. I did not break out with any blemishes from using the cream and my skin stayed stabilized; no excess oil, love that! I saw my fine lines diminished and my skin moisturized and balanced within one week of use. The cleansing oil was gentle and made my skin squeaky clean; without stripping it of essential oils.

I am excited about Dolce & Gabbana’s new skin care line and look forward to trying other products from the collection; especially the mask!

Dolce & Gabbana’s new The Lift Foundation and The Primer are luxurious additions to the designing duo’s beauty line. Both products offer exceptional moisturizing benefits while achieving flawless coverage; ultimately making you look younger in the process. Love that!

“One of the Dolce & Gabbana woman’s most powerful tools is her face: every aspect reveals something about her and her experiences, each expression reveals an emotion. Each woman decides what parts, if any, of the story she wants to tell, and that’s one of her strongest assets.” -Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

The Lift Foundation is formulated with Gold FlavoSilk Tricomplex with extracts of Gold Silk Sericin, Italian Olive Oil and Vitamin B3. This unique combination of ingredients restore’s skins’ natural moisture and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles in about four weeks. In addition, there is a choice between UV protection and broad spectrum protection; both offer SPF 25. I am in love with the broad spectrum version!

The Primer is a fabulous, hydrating, radiance-enhancing formula which offers protection for the skin while illuminating it. Love that! Dolce & Gabbana’s The Primer is infused with Gold Silk Sericin and Italian Olive Oil. The result is a fresh, natural, luminous complexion which is smooth and refined. Love that too!

I have fallen in love with Dolce & Gabbana’s The Lift Foundation and The Primer. Both products keep my skin moisturized and reduced my fine lines; a benefit I needed badly! I also love the broad spectrum SPF 25 in The Lift Foundation, with all the sunshine we have here in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is really important to wear SPF protection on a daily basis.

Dolce & Gabbana’s The Lift Foundation comes in fifteen shades and can be found online here. The Primer, can be found online here.
