Lumene divides its skincare essentials amongst 5 different lines, each devoted to a different need or time in a woman's skin as she ages. I was asked to sample Artic Aqua 2 in 1 Skin-Perfecting Moisture-Booster from their Sensitive Touch line.
It is suggesting that the additional surge of moisture and hyaluronic acid act also acts a primer of sorts under makeup.

Emma, Dinner with friends
I waivered about choosing this fab Dolce and Gabbana woven top handle bag over a clutch, my more likely choice, but the texture won me over.
Hope you don't mind playing in my playground with me...Sooner or later I may develop another obsession, but I wouldn't count on it :).

Chez Chez la Femme
Soooo much more advanced than Colorforms.
Please bear with me while I attempt to immerse myself on this slippery learning curve. There are a lot of ways to get more creative and make this prettier. Rest assured you will be seeing lots of them, all in DivaDebbi style.
LOVE.

Garnier Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector: Do you need this?
DoI??? Much to my own dismay, I could not resist picking this up while on a CVS run. How could I possibly need to add another styling product to the army under my bathroom sink?
I had just had my hair freshly colored by the magnificent Christopher at Warren Tricomi, Greenwich. Nicely, WT is fine, with those of us who like to blow dry our own hair after color services.
It's not that I'm cheap, but it's rare that I really love the way anyone blows out my hair...What really is the point of paying to have it dried, only to come home and tweak it for twenty minutes?
They have a perfect set-up,that includes a top notch dryer, a dozen immaculate brushes in all shapes and sizes and product for any conceivable style...everything except a flat iron.
Is that too much to ask??? Ya. I think it probably is. So essentially, I do a serviceable job, but come home and tweak for twenty minutes anyway---see what I mean?

Scarred For Life? DNA Scar Therapy Can Help
![]() |
| DNA Scar Therapy 1.7 oz. $45 |
Both leave painful reminders that are best faded with time. Having had several surgeries, I have tried everything available on the market to fade them; creams, silicone sheets and even lasers. The results are not stellar.
The best time to treat scars is when they are closed but fresh. When I had an opportunity to sample DNA EGF Renewal's DNA Scar Therapy, I figured I had nothing to lose, even though my surgical scars are years old.

Lighten Up! Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Corrector to the Rescue
![]() |
| 1.7 fl oz. average price $16 |
I was surprised to hear she was seeing results after just two weeks, since even prescriptions for hydroquinone don't promise results till about the one month mark. I asked her if I could take a photo of the tops of her hands so I could update you every two weeks with her results. Happily, she agreed!

Lash Blast Fusion: The cheap and cheerful mascara of my dreams???
![]() |
| CoverGirl's Lash Blast Fusion ($11) |
As I am now scraping the barrel of yet another tube of Benefit's They're Real Mascara, I find myself on my third attempt at a cheap & cheerful mascara that will give me enough volume and fullness to save myself $24.00. They're Real is a a great mascara but it's also a real pain to remove.
A few years back, I had a love affair with CoverGirl's Lash Exact. Also housed in a purple tube, it provided full, clean looking lashes for day. So what if I ran out of it in less than a month? It was certainly affordable enough to replace as needed.
