Guerlain launched their first Terracotta bronzing powder in 1984 and it became an immediate iconic beauty product. The newest release, Terracotta Light, adds to this storied history via a new lighter texture & vitamin-infused formula … and may very well turn out to be your BFF this summer.
Ever wonder what a $690 serum feels like? How about a $900 moisturizer? For Day 5 and to wrap up my Skincare Week of posts, I’m taking you over to the realm of über-luxury via this White Caviar duo from Swiss brand La Prairie. Jaw-dropping factor aside, I have a confession to make: I was actually a little hesitant to begin testing these products out, mainly because I was afraid I’d wind up really, really liking them. Spoiler alert: I should have listened to that inner voice …
For Day 4 of my Skincare Series, I bring your attention to another brand that was born & continues to be made here in my hometown of Montreal: introducing Peoni Skincare, the brainchild of Jennifer Brodeur aka: the Skin Guru … a woman, who among her many accomplishments (she’s taught biology & chemistry and is the mastermind behind the MAX+, a highly sought after LED light-therapy machine) also happens to be the skincare specialist for none other than Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama, to name but a few. Pairing an organic and holistic approach to skincare that’s married with ground-breaking anti-aging technology, what makes Peoni even more impressive is this one simple fact: there are only 4 products in the range. In this day & age of excess, this feels almost revolutionary … and so absolutely welcome.

For real.
Filed under strange but true facts: when most people think of skincare, they rarely include the neck (or décolletage) in their daily regimen, but believe it or not, those are areas that show some of the most obvious signs of skin aging. Also, thanks to the digital age we currently live in, “tech-neck” is now a thing. And I don’t mean that in a positive way, either — but stay with me here, because there’s hope on the horizon. For Day 2 of my skincare series and from the brand that continues to earn my loyalty thanks to some totally kick-ass (and affordable) products, comes the new Contour+ Scuplting Gel Concentrate, specifically created for the afore-mentioned areas. Cue the angelic choir …
