Four La Mer Products I Can't Live Without

1. The Regenerating Serum ($260) -  A light hydrating serum which goes beautifully over my nightly vitamin c serum dose. I use this year round when I feel like I need an extra pre-bedtime boost of hydration and renewal.

2. The Eye Concentrate ($165) - Silky, satiny, smooth and hydrating. What else could you want? This is our new staff and client favorite. I have these fine dry lines around my eyes that disappear when I slather this on!

3. The Cleansing Fluid ($65) - I just pulled this out again. This is my go to heavy sunscreen remover. I will not go to the beach, biking, or to play tennis in this heat without a thick SPF 45 or 50 on my skin. My kids tease me - I put so much on my face sometimes looks white. I love this oil-based cleanser. It cuts through all the grease and grime and removes all of the titanium dioxide sunscreen residue.


4. The Body Creme ($220) -  This luscious tub of body cream sits on my counter waiting to treat my bare dry legs. Post shower, pre-night out, I love how my legs and arms look satiny and smooth.

Get Jennifer Lawrence’s Hunger Games Look

I saw the Hunger Games with my husband last weekend and I must admit, I couldn’t stop thinking about the makeup (of course!). The makeup in every scene was spectacular, especially Katniss Everdeen’s. Hunger Games makeup artist Ve Neill was a genius at making her look strong, noble and virtuous. One of my favorites was the scene where she was first presented to the Capital audience. The strong eye, blissfully peach cheeks and lavender lip were unbelievable. Emma, our fabulous district manager and makeup artist extraordinaire, has shown me how to get this look. Bobbi Brown’s Fresh Melon Pot Rouge is the perfect sweet, innocent coral cheek. This is my new spring cheek!


For the lip, we love Bobbi Brown’s Cocoa Lip Liner 
with Lilac Pearl Brightening Lip Gloss.

This makeup scene is up there with the greats—Meg Ryan’s berry lips in “Proof of Life” and Melanie Laurent’s red lips in “Inglorious Basterds.” Only I would see a movie and obsess about the makeup!
