I have already raved about Sara Damelio's AMAZING Combat Balm (seriously, I use this stuff every, single day and won't let it get to the bottom of the jar before I'll frantically be searching to order another), so it's no surprise that I literally jumped at the chance to try her new luxe skincare line (there was actual frantic, excited jumping when the box arrived). The new line contains Miracle Cream (a luxuriously rich facial moisturizer suitable for all skintypes), Eye Balm (duh, it's an eye balm, just as the name suggests) and Brew (a lip balm which contains the essential oil Myrrh). If I had to choose a favorite to the line it would definitely be the Miracle Cream. This stuff is thick, thick, thick and smells delightful (delicately lavender). I love the way it melts into the skin and really gives my skin a nice glow. I would not recommend it for daytime use (unless you have some extra time to spare in the morning before you put your makeup on) but as a night cream, it is just as the name suggests - a miracle doer. My dry skin loves how moisturizing this cream is, but also how it does not irritate me in the least. It does take a while to sink into the skin, but it is oh-so-worth the wait because your skin will feel magnificent by morning. And the smell? I just adore the smell - yes, yes, I lay there at night and just breathe it in - so what?! The Eye Balm is equally lovely and a little goes a very long way (this is a very thick balm, as well), so again I would use at night so you're not frantically patting it trying to get it to dry so you can apply your foundation. I was surprised at how very little actually made a difference in my under eye area - no more tightness and my eyes actually look rested (which they are not, so this stuff does work a minor miracle). All products are all-natural and are made by hand when they are ordered (gotta love that!). Miracle Cream retails for $40.00 and Eye Balm retails for $70.00. When you place an order, definitely add in a Combat-Ready Balm for $5.00 because that stuff is really the balm (eek, I just typed that, didn't I?)
Note: Samples of the above products were sent to me by a PR representative working with Skincando
