Kiehl’s Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Collection

Kiehl’s introduces Rare Earth Pore Minimizing Collection which is available from August 2009.

Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser: This daily cleanser is formulated specifically for normal to oily skin types to purify and thoroughly cleanse facial skin. This non-stripping, mildly foaming formula contains Amazonian White Clay and finely crushed Diatomaceous Earth particles to gently remove surface debris, toxins, and oils which can enlarge the appearance of pores. SRP: $22.50 for 5.0 fl. Oz. / 150ml.

Kiehl’s Pore Minimizing Toner: This dual-phase pore minimizing toner is formulated with ingredients sourced from the Marajo Island at the mouth of the Amazon River to help eliminate surface toxins from the skin. The absorbent powders of the Amazonian White Clay help to refine pores and control excess oil as it maintains the skin’s PH level. After application, skin appears matte, with re-balanced moisture levels.  I use it everyday now! I love this toner. It refreshed my skin after shower and when my skin needs that extra cleaning. SRP: $20.50 for 8.4 fl. Oz. / 250ml.

Peter Thomas Roth Eye Overhaul Duo

In Marta’s Makeup Bag:

Peter Thomas Roth Eye Overhaul Duo ($58)  is a day and night eye cream. The day cream part is a light white lotion. It quenches my under eye area in an instant. The cream is not perfumed. The night cream is a yellowish looking serum and even lighter in consistency than the day eye cream. Great value for my money product, and fantastic space saving product when I travel. If you are looking for a good eye cream, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Dior Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Concentrate

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

Vichy Normaderm Pro Mat Ultra-Mattifying Oil-Free Lotion SPF15

Vichy Normaderm Pro Mat Ultra-Mattifying Oil-Free Lotion SPF15 ($21) is what I like to use before I put on my makeup and step outside the Arizona sun. Best feature about this face cream is that it’s not greasy thanks to its Dry Finish” Technology: a shine-control formula. It is very hydrating, and protects me from the sun. The cream itself smells very clean which is always a plus.

Needless to say, Vichy Normaderm Pro Mat SPF 15 Sunscreen is in Marta’s makeup bag now:)

CHANEL Ultra Correction Lift

CHANEL introduces Ultra Correction Lift:  A lifted and toned appearance requires more than a boost of collagen and elastin. It also requires TENSIN, a critical protein, naturally abundant in young skin, that anchors and connects cells to the skin’s dermal network. CHANEL scientists discovered that the key to helping restore tensin to its youthful level is elemi PFA, an exclusive, powerful ingredient targeted to stimulate the production of this age-defying protein.

With Elemis PFA at the heart of the collection, new ULTRA CORRECTION LIFT naturally firms and lifts skin from within. Collagen and elastin synthesis is intensified, supporting and fortifying skin’s newly reconnected network. Suitable for all skin types, new ULTRA CORRECTION LIFT measurably enhances skin’s appearance as facial contours are redefined and skin achieves a visibly toned and revitalized look. The uncompromising quality of CHANEL turns research into results.
