I have been a fan of Dermalogica skin care for over 10 years. I first started working with Dermalogica at a spa in the Napa Valley. Using their products on a daily basis gave me the opportunity to see what a great line they offered and still offer. This is a skin care line developed through research at The International Dermal Institute. I knew Dermalgoica was great because I saw results. What I didn’t know was how much knowledge went into ingredient development until I took a biological science course on the medicinal studies of plants. The plant substances studied by scientific researchers for medicinal purposes matched up with the ingredients that went into Dermalogica’s skin line. This was the first time I saw a skin care line using a scientific basis to build their product line unlike so many that claim patented skin technologies without regards to what is scientifically researched and studied.

I have to say that Dermalogica fits perfectly with its name; skin care that makes sense.

This brand was recommended by a friend whose makeup always looked clean and natural. I went to a Laura Mercier counter at Nordstroms and spoke with a representative. She pointed out a few items I might like. I had her put a natural looking foundation on me which blended nicely into my skin. I fell in love with their color palates. All of the items such as the lip and eye liners were very soft looking along with some rich eye shadows that were not overdone. If you are looking to find a subtle line of makeup I would strongly suggest Laura Mercier.

I can’t say how much I admire the Nars line of cosmetics. Overall, they offer a great deal of fine products. From their bright nail polishes, to their soft blushes and silky lip glosses, they have an array of choices that keep me coming back. Nars is colorful enough to be fun, yet they remain sophisticated in make up palates. They capture a wide market with their ability to fit nicely with most skin shades. Nars cosmetic products bring out natural beauty and give it a stylish twist.
