Guerlain Parure Foundation and Orchidee Cream- for eyes and lips

If you'd like a new glow without shininess or oiliness, try Guerlain Parure Liquid Foundation.  The finish is very pretty.  Perfect for a date.

Pick up a generous sample at Bloomingdale's so you can be sure you have the right shade. Ask for other skin care samples, especially the eye and lip cream.

What the Japanese do better- skin care secrets

A recent article about the lack of wrinkles on Japanese women's faces attributed this to diet and skin care.

Diet includes soy, rice and green tea.  All contribute to good skin.

Skin care regimens include more steps than in America:
  1. Cleansing with mild cleansers
  2. Softening (toning)
  3. Serum
  4. Moisturizer
  5. Sunscreen

Don't wear a watch

Watches are fashion accessories, but only if you are over 40 or they are clearly fashion-oriented, like last season's big white/rhinestone styles.  Tech savvy women of all ages use their cell phones to tell time, instead of a tailored-style watch.

Guerlain Parure Foundation and Orchidee Cream- for eyes and lips

Go to the Guerlain counter and try the Parure Foundation with 24K gold.  Sounds like a gimmick but it makes your skin glow.  Very pretty and youthful.

Also, try the Orchidee lip and eye cream to address two areas where fine lines show up and intensify annoyingly.  One cream works for both. It's expensive but a third (or less) of one session of painful shots at the derm doctor.
