Product Review: Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Foundation

I am always in search of the perfect foundation, and usually have two or three on my rotation, but I think I've found "the one" with Guerlain's Lingerie de Peau SPF 20 ($58).  I've been using it for almost three years and I'm on my third bottle (a small drop goes a long way).  I have found that using my fingers to warm and then apply offers the most natural, seamless coverage (also it takes me about 15 seconds to have the perfect canvas).  It melts into skin giving a beautiful glow that covers redness and small imperfections.  The consistency is super fluid and silky.  The best part is that the finish lasts all day with no touch-ups, I have dry skin so I don't know if it would be different for other skin types.

Product Alert: Slimming Cream

The September 2012 issue of Allure talks about a skin cream that the International Journal of Cosmetic Science reports has proven effective at reducing fat deposits.  According to a team of researchers at the San Gallicano Dermatological Institute in Rome, women who applied the cream to their waist, hips, and thighs nightly for four weeks lost one to two centimeters, up to slightly less than an inch, from each area.  Wow. I'm sold!  The magic ingredients include caffeine, shea butter, mineral salts, and extracts from algae and seaweed.  Apparently the cream stimulates breakdown of fat molecules and the draining of fluids.  The cream is applied at night before bed because the growth hormones released during sleep enhances the effects in the skin.  The article in Allure says the cream, called Somatoline Cosmetics Intensive Night Slimming Treatment, is only available in Europe but I found it on Amazon.com for $55.88/450 ml.
