3LAB M Cream

3LAB has introduced "M" Cream, the first cosmetic product that contains stem cells from a rare Swiss apple.  This luxury skin de-stressing cream provides anti-aging benefits by working to increase resiliancy and cellular turnover, hydrating and firming using advanced science and natural ingredients.  I love the 3LAB line, because I think it's one of the most technologically sophisticated skincare lines on the market today. 

A sumptuous, gel crème that brings stressed skin back to life, “M” Cream hydrates and firms the skin with Nano-Claire GY, the world’s first bioengineered growth hormone. PhytoCelTec™ Malus Domestica, stem cells from a rare Swiss Apple that have been proven to slow down and delay the aging process.   Other ingredients help to relieve skin aggressors and bring out natural radiance while fighting the root causes of environmental damage.

To use "M" Cream, apply to cleansed and toned skin morning or night for firmer skin that glows. Can be used on top of any 3LAB serum.

3LAB "M" Cream retails at $250 and is available at Barneys New York, barneys.com and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Favorite Beauty Products of 2008

Even though we're a bit into the New Year, a group of beauty bloggers and I are rounding up our favorite beauty products of 2008.  I tried and reviewed so many products, that narrowing down a list was really hard.  These were the products that I considered standouts:

Bobbi Brown Mauve Palette and Gel Eyeliner in Black Mauve Shimmer Ink:  I lusted over the Fall Mauve palette the minute I saw it and similar to Stonewashed Nudes, this has been a go-to palette for me.  And the Black Mauve Shimmer Ink Gel Eyeliner is perfection.

 

Chanel Smoky Eye Quad:  This year, I didn't meet a Chanel Eyeshadow Quad that I didn't love and have to own.  But the Smoky Eye Quad is my Holy Grail.  Done in gorgeous gray to black shimmers, I still marvel over its' beauty every time I open it up.

Estee Lauder Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang Perfume: The fact that I fell for this fragrance so hard and was totally smitten with it from the first time I spritzed it was a complete shock to me.  Amber Ylang Ylang is the second fragrance in Aerin Lauder's Private Collection series.  It's warm, vanilla, sexy, ambery....just a wow!  And the bottle is exquisite.

Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes Mascara:  2008 was the Year of the Mascara, with vibrating brushes, special combs and new formulas.  Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes has a genius applicator that allows you to get over and under every lash for truly phenomenal lashes.  Revolutionary.

Kate Somerville Exfoliate:  One of my favorite skincare products, Exfolikate combines a physical and chemical exfoliant to get one great scrub that leaves your face glowing in only a matter of minutes.  I leave this in my shower and apply a few times a week.  No matter how many exfoliators I've tried, this is still my #1.

3 LAB "h" Serum":  I love high-tech skincare and 3LAB "h" serum is one of the most innovative products I've tried.  "h" serum contains a synthetic growth hormone to help reverse the signs of aging by supplementing the growth hormones naturally produced in the body.  Not only that, it feels luxurious.  Exceptional!

Skinceuticals C E Ferulic and Hydrating B5 Gel:  The "Dynamic Duo", I think of these Skinceuticals serums as the foundation of my skincare routine.  The C E Ferulic is a powerful antioxidant treatment, while the B5 Gel nourishes and hydrates.  This line, which also includes the newer Phloretin CF, is a line I trust and believe in.

3LAB Perfect Sunblock SPF 55

3LAB Perfect Sunblock SPF 55 is not only a broad-spectrum sun protectant; it is an elegant anti-aging cream for the face and body.  The lightweight formulation in 3LAB's Perfect Sunblock is such that you don't feel like you're applying sunscreen; gone is the heavy, greasy afterfeel that so many sunblocks leave.  Instead, using a special polymer technology, Perfect Sunblock SPF 55 glides on more like a moisturizer and doesn't interfere with makeup application.  It absorbs and blends into the skin like a treatment cream, too, without a chalky residue.

In addition to a sunblock that absorbs 99% of all incoming UVA/UVB rays, Perfect Sunblock SPF 55 contains 4 powerful anti-oxidants to help boost the skin's ability to fight signs of aging.  Acai berry, Green Tea Extract, and Vitamin E work to neutralize free radicals and inflammation, prevent skin discoloration and help to soothe the skin.  Mulberry Extract helps to prevent skin discoloration and Portulaca Extract, an anti-inflammatory, helps calm the skin.  This kind of advanced formula helps keep me motivated to use a sunscreen on a daily basis, knowing that the product I'm applying has additional benefits beyond sunscreen.  It's exactly this type kind of advanced technology in a fabulous-feeling product that I've come to expect from 3LAB.

3LAB Perfect Sunblock SPF 55 is available at select Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys New York.  Visit 3LAB.com for complete availability information.

3LAB WW Eye Cream

3LAB WW Eye Cream is a serious anti-aging treatment product, with a cutting-edge formulation based on 3LAB's proprietary age-reversing Nano-Claire GY complex.  Nano-Claire GY is a bio-engineered human growth hormone that works at the cellular level to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Brought to you from the same developers as "h" serum, WW Eye Cream not only firms under eye skin, it stimulates circulation and evens skin tone.  That is important to note if you have dark circles, like I do.  WW Eye Cream also contains additional key anti-aging ingredients such as Portulaca Extract, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that helps to de-puff under eye bags and puffiness; Matriyxl 3000, which stimulates collagen production and Niacinamide, which suppresses melanin and combats UV damage.  Together, you have a multi-tasking product that effectively helps to firm and restore the appearance of the eye area.

I loved trying this product; it's perhaps the richest, most intensely moisturizing and luxurious eye cream I've used.  If you like high-end skincare, 3LAB WW Eye Cream is available at Barneys and Saks Fifth Avenue.  More information on the complete 3LAB skin care line can be found on the 3LAB website.

3LAB "h" Serum: H for "highly recommended!"

3LAB products are an ideal blend of cutting-edge technology and natural botanicals.  Founded by a team of two renowned chemists and one famous dermatologist, the attention to both science and skincare results is evident. The 3LAB line itself is not a large one; instead it's a well-edited skincare line to match the precise philosophy of the company, which is the use of the highest grade botanical ingredients and state of the art scientific technologies to contest the forces of nature and time.

So let me tell you about my newest, favorite beauty product, 3LAB's "h" serum.  Through a patented process, 3LAB has been able to bio-engineer the functional-equivalent of human growth hormone.  What does that mean in relation to skincare?  Use of the "h" serum, with it's patented nanotechnology delivery system, in essence, increases the rate of skin-cell regeneration, promotes younger-acting and more luminous skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  The "h" serum contains potent anti-oxidants (a necessity in an anti-aging product), as well as humectants and other age-fighters.  Does it work?  Does it ever! My skin has never looked better; it is brighter, more radiant.  I apply a small amount (1 pump) in the morning and evening after cleansing my skin.  The "h" serum is not a sticky serum, either.  It's a luxurious light creme formulation that feels good on your skin.  I follow the "h" serum with moisturizer.

The 3LAB "h" serum retails at $200 and the 3LAB line is available at Barneys and Saks Fifth Avenue, although checking both websites, it appears you may need to call the stores directly to order.  In my book, the "h" stands for "highly recommended!"
