Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream SPF 30


Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream SPF 30 on Belle Belle Beauty

Sorry for the sporadic posting! My poor old seven year old MacBook just finally bit the dust – RIP. But I am happy to report that I am posting from my brand new, sleek MacBook Air. I love the portability. And the graphics are amazing. There are upsides to putting off an upgrade for long than usual. So pleased with the performance on this new guy!

But back to skin care – today I am happy to share with you guys a multi-tasker that will make your routine a breeze as the summer closes. The newest of the Super Multi-Corrective line at Keihl’s is a cream with SPF but also happens to be a great multi-tasker. Love that for rushed mornings. This isn’t just a moisturizer.

The formula works to correct skin with lifting, firming, sculpting and smoothing. I apply after my serum as a last step before makeup. The texture is relatively thick, but I like that it absorbs well. And I know I will need the added moisture as the temps cool.

Made in the USA. Available at Kiehls.com, and Nordstrom.

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation // Belle Belle Beauty

My summer staples have been NARS Radiant Cream Concealer and Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. Frankly, nothing covers the under eye better than the Cream Concealer. And the lightweight coverage and sun protection of the tinted moisturizer make it perfect for the summer months. So, truth be told… I wasn’t surprised to be thrilled with the newest from NARS: Radiant Cream Compact Foundation.

First and foremost, bravo to NARS for a comprehensive offering of 20 shades from Siberia (light with neutral undertones) to Khartoum (dark with espresso undertones). Second, and not surprisingly from NARS, I love the packaging. The foundations are sold in pods that fit into a separately purchased hefty compact. Because of the formula, you are encouraged to make sure both the compact and the separate pod are snap shut otherwise, the product can dry out. Frankly, I have no issue with this and I love that the foundation stays clean.

The formula features a proprietary Advanced Emulsion Technology, allowing for a buildable application either wet or dry. What surprised me most is how this cream foundation could feel so light. Cream foundations aren’t my favorite, so I was sure I was going to find it too heavy for everyday wear. But it sets like a liquid foundation. I’ve been wearing Santa Fe (medium with golden undertones) and Punjab (medium with golden, peachy undertones). It is really hard for me to distinguish between these two shades other than a slightly deeper radiance in Punjab.

Bottom line: this is my go-to foundation for the fall months. I love the portability, flexibility and radiant finish. While it is on the pricier side for the amount of product you get ($48 including the compact for 0.42 ounces), I think the revolutionary formula and wearability definitely make it worth it.

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation is currently available at Sephora.com and NARScosmetics.com. It will be on department store counters on September 1st.

NEW: Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream

NEW: Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream // Belle Belle Beauty

There are perks to being in the beauty business. The best of em including getting an early peek at Kiehl’s latest and greatest. I’ve been using Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream for the past three weeks and am happy to report it can be yours as of tomorrow!

I’m adoring the gel-like texture of this rich anti-aging cream and thanks to shea butter, it has the creamy ease of application. It is perfect for these summer months, adding great moisuture but without a greasy feel or stickiness. The formula is demonstrated to lift, firm, visibly redefine skin contour and re-texturize skin within 2 weeks, and double efficacy within 4 weeks. Not to mention, it is super soothing on my sensitive skin.

As always, Kiehl’s turns to science and technology to achieve the best of results. This time, the “Super Cream” takes a multifunctional approach by targeting multiple signs of aging with a proprietary Tri-Active Technology. Developed over the last 17 months, this cream can quickly treat and repair skin. Keystone ingredients include:

  • Jasmonic Acid: A highly effective, yet very mild, active known for its ability to support epidermal renewal to visibly correct wrinkles, fine lines, loss of suppleness and elasticity, while gently smoothing and retexturizing the skin’s surface. On skin, Jasmonic Acid is extremely gentle and efficacious without using any insult to skin to trigger the repair process.
  • Beech Tree Extract: Known for its ability to improve skin firmness and visibly improve plumpness and density. Beech Tree Extract is sugar-protein hybrid made from xylose, a sugar found abundantly in beech trees and known to stimulate the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) .
  • Fragmented Hyaluronic Acid: Known to reinforce skin’s natural short and long term moisturization as well as improve skin barrier function. Additionally, it is known to improve skin elasticity while reducing skin roughness and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

My skin seems more supple and firm just after a short time of use. My skin also looks more radiant with the super-charged hydration. This guy definitely earned a place in my permanent rotation.

You can find Kiehl’s Super Multi-Corrective Cream tomorrow on kiehls.com.

This week, I lost 0.2 pounds for a total weight loss of 36.4 pounds. Hey, I’ll take a down week no matter how small. Given my bout of bronchitis, I haven’t been running as much as usual, so I am happy that the pounds didn’t stack back on. Finally feeling a little better today, I am excited to get back in a routine STAT. And you better bet I’ll be after it harder than ever now that I have my energy back.

Speaking of routine, I wanted to talk a little about Nutrisystem’s new meals! I am so excited for the additions they announced here. The new snacks include:

  • White Cheddar Popcorn
  • Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
  • Whole Grain Soft Pretzel

Can you say YUM!? White Cheddar Popcorn is a huge favorite. And these snacks provide a great does of fiber and protein that keeps me feeling full. The new dinners are:

  • Chef’s Table® Tilapia with Asparagus & Rice
  • Chef’s Table® Spaghetti Primavera with Chicken Meatballs
  • Chef’s Table® Grilled Chicken Sausage & Peppers

Oh yeah, I said Crepes. And I know my seafood nut of a dad is going to go nuts over the Tilapia! I never ever feel deprived on Nutrisystem, and with this new variety, there is always something to look forward to. Can’t wait to try them all!

NEW: Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser and GIVEAWAY

NEW: Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser // Belle Belle Beauty

Sometimes I feel like Goldylocks with my cleansers. One doesn’t foam enough. Another is a touch too drying. And another one doesn’t quite get all my makeup off. Well, hot off the presses is a new cleanser from Neutrogena and this one has beauty editors singing praises. I can see why because it does everything I ask of a cleanser.

Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser is formulated with a patented technology that can remove 99% of excess oil, dirt and even makeup, while preserving the skin’s delicate moisture barrier. The formula is clear and can whip up to a fairly good lather. I can only detect a very light and pleasant fragrance. All my makeup other than some stubborn mascara comes right off with just a standard wash. And when you rinse it away, there is no tightness or dryness. It rinses clean, so no residue to clog pores.

According to dermatologist Dr. Debra Jaliman, “My patients often complain they have to choose between their skin feeling clean or feeling moist.  The key is finding a cleanser that doesn’t disrupt skin’s delicate moisture barrier to leave skin not only clean, but also feeling soft and never too dry or too tight.” Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser, the little workhorse, can do all of this. Not to mention, leave skin perfectly prepped for any skin care treatments applied post cleansing.

Neutrogena came up with a fun little quiz to help you put your cleanser against their new Gentle Daily Cleanser. Pop over and take the cleansing assessment here. If you are one of the first 5,000 people to sign up, you’ll get a free sample! Check out my assessment here:
