M LAB Anti-Aging Treatment Cream.

For those of us who are aging (we all are!) and want a heavy duty treatment, this is one to put at the top of your MUST-TRY LIST. M LAB Anti-Aging Treatment Cream is one of the best anti-aging creams that I have used.

This cream is one that finally delivers on it’s promise - plus so much more. M LAB Anti-Aging Treatment Cream, is the Rolls Royce of Anti-Aging Creams. You will immediately notice that aspect just from the hefty price tag this wonder cream carries. But if you look further into the science and ingredients in this cream and give it a good try, you will quickly understand why it is in this “Rolls Royce” category.

This cream contains a superior combination of peptides, anti-oxidants and hydration ingredients. This heavy duty combo helps to soften skin while firming and strengthening it, and helps develop more elasticity - all while helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

68% of the ingredients are clinically active, meaning that it is

infused with concentrations of ingredients which have been tested and proven in studies to have beneficial effects on the skin. The result is effective solutions for all problems associated with aging skin from fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration or uneven skin tones, skin texture, under-eye circles, and sagging skin.

A 2.4 oz. jar of M LAB Anti-Aging Treatment Cream is $260, which might be shocking in this economy. You best way to try this wonder cream is through BeautyFix.

I probably would not have tried this cream if it were not for the .5 oz deluxe sample that is included in this quarters BeautyFix collection. This cream alone is worth the $50 that the BeautyFix subscription costs, so if you think of it that way, the rest of the products are like a bonus.

Pick of the Day - INTERVENE Stress Recovery Night Cream.

As our body most readily repairs itself during sleep, a powerful night cream is a must. I am talking a night cream to not only deliver moisture and balance during the night, but one that helps turn back the hands of time and correct all the damage. And prevents further damage from happening. Like an intervention of sorts.

My latest night cream love is from Elizabeth Arden called INTERVENE Stress Recovery Night Cream.

Like all of the INTERVENE line of products, the key ingredient is their innovative naturally derived Biodormin™ technology, which supports skin’s natural cell metabolism rate to help skin fight the visible effects caused by stress.  This helps give skin the time out it needs to repair and revitalize its appearance.

This lightweight, intensive moisturizer revitalizes the look of skin while you sleep. It works continuously throughout the night to help skin recover from daytime assaults and defend against the visible effects of stress on the skin. This new nightly essential smoothes on like silk, boosting the benefits of Biodormin™ technology with youth preserving complex to help fight the effects of daily environmental stress and restore skin’s clarity, texture and radiance. Therapeutic and Red Clover Extract support skin’s natural collagen and protein levels to help assure a smoother appearance. Advanced moisturizers refresh and renew.

Wake up to skin that looks younger, relaxed, revitalized and radiant with this dream night cream. It sells for $49.50 online and at Elizabeth Arden counters.

Thoughts on CoverGirl Simply Ageless Foundation.

By now, I think you all know that Ellen DeGeneres is the spokesmodel for the CoverGirl Olay Simply Ageless Foundation. If you have been following closely, you should have noticed that many of you have had trouble opening the foundation. I had trouble opening it. Even Ellen had trouble opening it. I think it is about time to talk about how I feel about the foundation, and I hope you chime in with your thoughts too.

I initially purchased Simply Ageless in the shades Ivory and Classic Ivory, as I am usually one of the fairest shades in a foundation line-up. After applying, I quickly realized that these were both too light for me. I had purchased mine at CVS, where they have a fabulous return policy, so they let me exchange them for different shades. It is probably important to note that CoverGirl also has a 100% satisfaction guarantee with this foundation, so wherever you purchase, they will take it back for you - for any reason. So, this time I selected Creamy Natural and Buff Beige. Creamy Natural was the perfect shade for my skintone. I am keeping Buff Beige for when I faux tan.

I applied the foundation with the sponge provided and I noticed right away that it did not settle into my fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes or mouth. Not many foundations settle when first applied, so the true test would be to take a look at the end of the day.  Simply Ageless did indeed hold up all day and never settled into my lines. I was very impressed. The coverage was sheer, but once I had set it with my MAC Studio Fix Powder, I was good to go. The next time I tried Simply Ageless, I applied it with a foundation brush and smoothed it out with my fingers. This gave me more of a medium coverage, which is what I look for in a foundation. Applying it this way, I also noticed that after a long day the foundation never settled or caked up around my lines and wrinkles.

My Mother, who hasn't worn a foundation in years because of the very reason that she is 65 years old and everything she tries only accentuates her wrinkles, was definitely intrigued by my explaining this to her. This is when I really noticed how well Simply Ageless works. The foundation seemed to glide over her face using the enclosed sponge, and it never settled into her wrinkles at all. He face instantly looked 10+ years younger - really. She refused to use powder, so I don't think the foundation lasted as long as it did on me, but it certainly did a great job. It made her wrinkles look almost diffused and left her with a soft glow.

Overall, you need to follow through and try this product. Especially if you are older or really have a concern about your wrinkles. While I really liked it for my skin, I loved it on my Mother - and she did too. Trust me - that speaks volumes!

Hopefully P&G will work on a packaging redesign - I cannot ignore that so many of us had problems opening it. But once past that, Simply Ageless is simply great!

Pick up Simply Ageless Foundation at your favorite drugstore or mass retailer for about $13.99. My local CVS price was $15.99.

For those of you have tried it, what do you think? I look forward to your thoughts in the comments.
