Beauty Dream Team (plus the coach)

The Dream Team


1. Lancome Flash Bronzer Anti-Age $38 - Available here
If you want to add just a little bit of color to your face during the winter months, here's your tool.  With SPF 15  and Vitamin E this is the best self-tanner I have found that is *subtle*, works quickly (30 min) and doesn't break the bank.


2. Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream $18 - Available from Amazon
This cream shouldn't require any introduction as it's over 70 years old and has been in about every makeup artists' and editors' bag for the last decade.  I use it for eyelids, lips and on dry knuckles but, as made evident by models around the globe, its usefulness is truly boundless.


3. Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer $52 - Available from Sephora or Amazon
If you haven't hopped on the primer bandwagon yet, you're late and it's time.  Primer makes everything that follows look so. much. better.  It's worth the extra step (and swipe of the CC.)  Hourglass' is true to its name.  It feels like a silky veil over your face that evens your skin tone as well.  Genius.


4. ReVive Moisturizing Renewal Cream $100 - $175 (depending where you buy) - Available here
I was opposed to the La Mer and La Prairie moisturizing spending sprees that had been become ubiquitous until I fell victim to this one.  Never one to believe "your skin will look different in two weeks", when my skin DID look radiant I really had to think "what is responsible for this???"  This is the best moisturizer I have ever tried, hands down, and there have been dozens upon dozens.


5. Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo w Oatmilk $18 - Available here
I bought five of these last summer in France that's how dedicated I am to Klorane (I recommend everyone do the same as they are about 5 euros over there.)  Volume and fragrance are just the added bonuses to having "I washed it this morning" hair.


6.  Clarins Eye Revive Beauty Flash $46 - Available at Sephora
Without this I would never escape the brutality of the morning after a night I don't remember.  Puffiness, circles, lines: reduced down to almost nothing.  Its purpose is literally defined as to "minimize the appearance of fatigue."  God bless you Clarins.
