While packing for our trip to Hawaii we filled a 26″ rolling suitcase to max capacity with beauty products. As our husband and children watched in disbelief, we reassuringly explained that the products were for Makeup Bag research and did they seriously think we would bring everything but the kitchen sink if it weren’t for work?

As it turned out, our father’s condition was worse than we thought leaving us with little time for product testing. We did, however, have time to wash our face every day with the new La Mer The Cleansing Foam which has quickly become our new best friend.

Unlike our favorite Shiseido Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam, the La Mer The Cleansing Foam is nearly scent-free and full of calming marine extracts.

The rich lather is full of sea algae fibers to boost the foaming action, and contains an exclusive combination of jade and pearl powders along with La Mer’s unique magnetized tourmaline and Deconstructed Waters to improve cleansing performance.

Just three days after receiving our sample, we noticed our skin looking visibly brighter and more refreshed.

The only downside to this amazing cleanser is the price: at $65 it’s more than twice the price of our Shiseido Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam. However, for brighter, clearer skin—we’re willing to forego a few soy lattes (okay, EIGHT of them) and spring for the best.

We love us some luxury eye cream and La Mer The Eye Concentrate is right up our alley.

With three unique forms of the exclusive La Mer Miracle Broth along with marine extracts and hematite—a dense mineral known for its magnetic energies—The Eye Concentrate works over time to restore radiance while soothing and calming the delicate skin around the eyes.

Also, it has a special silver-tipped applicator that’s designed to pick up the precise amount of product while promoting microcirculation with its cooling tip.

We can’t wait to try it!

La Mer The Eye Concentrate is making it’s debut this month at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and online at CremedelaMer.com.
