New from Chanel: Sublimage Serum.

One of the reasons Nicole Kidman and Marion Cotillard looked so beautiful at the Academy Awards might have had more to do than just the makeup, or the gorgeous looks.

CHANEL celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin who did their makeup for the big night says that she, loves to use Sublimage Serum to prep the face before she applies makeup.

 

 

"I always start the makeup process with an application of the Sublimage Serum. I feel it helps to create a smooth, silky and young overall look after I use the base. I usually wait about five minutes and let the serum saturate into the skin, before applying foundation."
 

Sublimage Serum is the latest addition to CHANEL's premier anti-aging cream.

When pairing the Essential Regenerating Concentrate, the lightweight, silky serum maximizes the all-around age-fighting benefits of the original cream. The perfect combination of both the serum and cream help to combat wrinkles, loss of firmness, dehydration, lack of radiance, and uneven pigmentation through CHANEL's exclusive Polyfractioning (PFA) technique.

Planifolia (extracted through this PFA process where ultra-pure ingredients are created) is the precious oil that comes from the powerful botanical fruit at the heart of Sublimage, which is now infused into the enriched Planifolia water, making for an even more powerful formula that delivers twice the concentration of the cream.

The 1 oz. airless pump full of this anti-aging wonder retails for $385.00. 

As I have never used anything from the CHANEL skincare line, this looks like it would be a great product to start with. I have read glowing reviews of the Sublimage Cream, so I am sure that this is a wonderful addition to the line.

Sublimage Serum just launched last month at Chanel.com, as well as speciality stores nationwide.

Elizabeth Arden Anti-Aging Night Cream.

Once in a while an innovation blows me away. From the packaging to the ingredients, my feelings for this new night cream from Elizabeth Arden's PREVAGE line run deep. With the Elizabeth Arden PREVAGE Anti-Aging Night Cream, my skin has taken on a new meaning. A look of refinement, luminosity and fresh looking. Amazing.

To hear more about is and how I feel, you will need to hop on over to Aging Fabulous where I posted all about it yesterday! 

Helping me Get Through the Day.

I have been spending so much time outdoors, and do everything I can to protect my face form the sun. I always wear a wide brimmed hat and sunglass in the sun, but that is simply not enough. Thank goodness for Sôleil Ultra Expert Sun Care SPF 50 Sunscreen Face Cream for Sensitive Skin from Lancome.

This face cream has been a savior for my sensitive skin. I am so sensitive when it comes to many sun screens, and this has not bothered my face at all. In fact, I love the hydration.  This cream is formulated with SunCalm Complex that is made with rose extract to help soothe sensitive skin,  Collasôme, an advanced formula that helps boost skin’s elasticity, along with the broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, while 100% botanically pure Vitamin E helps to strengthen the skin’s natural defenses by neutralizing free radicals.

This cream goes on my face first thing in the morning after cleansing, and is re-applied if I am going to the beach or pool. A must have for any beach or cosmetic bag - especially if you are sensitive to sun screens as I.
