In Marta’s Makeup Bag:

Dior Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Concentrate for wrinkles, density and brightness: I apply this serum right after shower, before my day cream, and it feels amazing. It immediately sooths and hydrates my skin. It is light and not greasy. Absorbs easily and quickly into skin. It is a bit pricey, at $135, but good investment for your skin!

How does Dior Capture Totale Multi-PerfectionConcentrate Serum actually looks like? It’s a sheer light pink serum, and smells clean, soft and not overpowering.

Available at Sephora and Sephora.com

It seems to me that Olay is becoming synonymous to quality yet affordable skin care. If you are a fan of Olay Regenerist you might want to learn about Olay’s latest addition, which was first introduced in July 2006: Olay Definity.

Here are some facts about Olay Definity: A precision technology anti-aging skin care collection containing the Olay-exclusive Essential Glucosamine Complex to reduce the appearance of skin discolorations such as dullness and brown spots by up to 78 percent vs. base moisturizer. With daily use, Olay Definity penetrates up to 10 surface layers deep and hydrates to both help reverse the appearance of past damage coming from beneath skin’s surface and allow natural rebuilding of skin’s collagen.

There two main ingredients in Olay Definity: N-acetyl glucosamine and Niacinamide. N-acetyl glucosamine is found to work with moisturizing Niacinamide to improve the skin’s moisture barrier, visibly reducing the appearance of hyperpigmented spots and improve the overall evenness of skin tone. Niacinamide works to hydrate and soften skin while creating strong moisture barrier to help reduce the appearance of red, blotchy skin.

Definity Product line-up:

Olay Definity Deep Penetrating Foaming Moisturizer: an aerated serum less dense than a lotion or cream, but with equal penetration performance. It feels virtually weightless on the skin and easier to spread than a cream or serum, hence more even coverage.

Olay Definity Correcting Protective Lotion with SPF 15: has a broad spectrum of UV protection and provides a luminous effect that helps correct the appearance of color imperfections.

Olay Definity Intense Hydrating Cream: luxurious cream contains the highest levels of glycerin in the line to provide hydration deep into multiple levels of the skin.

How to use:In the morning, apply the Deep Penetrating Foaming Moisturizer followed by the Corrective Protective Lotion SPF 15 for light weight moisture with UVA/UVB protection. In the evening, use the Deep Penetrating Foaming Moisturizer with the Intense Cream for deep moisturization. SRP: $27.99.
