                  Ageless Beauty Experience with Le Metier de Beaute 

Happy Holidays Ladies! I have my beauty report of the week here. I only write about products I have used and recommend! This Brand has blown me away. This all started with my endless search for the perfect concealer. The concealer hunt has been ongoing for several years no lie. The first issue is color matching. So I am a neutral medium, it seems like all mediums are too yellow, which is not attractive in the daylight. Second problem they either go on to thick or to transparent. The biggest problem I have had is that it strips away the moisture and halfway through the day I have to reapply everything or look ten years older. I want to tell you as a certified beauty junkie I have literally tried hundreds of products. Here is a little tip if you want to try a bit of everything and have access to samples of highend products sign up for IPSY. For roughly $11. a month you can order exta samples and get a box of goodies currated for you. This is like Christmas every month.
So back to the concealer saga, I want it all, coverage of circles, hyaluronic acid, perfect color match, melts into the skin instead of on top of, bacially to turn back the clock to twenty.
So I am always reading about products and ratings and scrolling for the best of the best. This does not neccessarily mean price. I will do another blog and link on my landing page soon with my affordable beauty go to products that has beauty at everyprice covered. 
So I read about the Peau Vierge Concealer and kept a picture of it in my photo's where I put products that I am going to try at some point. You can imagine what that looks like in between my morning selfies so I can see how bad my bags are in the mornings. I should preface all of this to say that after 45 makeup stops being optional and after 50 it starts getting serious, then after 53 the hunt is on for the "fix". When I was young I took skin care very seriously but did not wear a lot of makeup. 
Now it's all serious. That being said it is rare to find skin care and makeup all under one roof that works. There are many great brands out there that have great ingredients that may not give you the results you need. For myself I want pore reduction, moisture retention, sun protection, the glow factor, to look natural and glamorous at the same time. So I am a tough customer! I promise I am getting to the point here. 
I ordered the good Concealer, from the beautifully packaged Le Metier de Beaute feeling very indulgent and like the master of self care. First the packaging is gorgous and elegant all black boxes with elegant silver font. It's a good start in my book. I do also recommend using a good concealer brush for several reasons. One the application is smoother and you use less product, two, you have more control. Le Metier de beaute has a good one and so does Elf.  Use a short bristle brush that is clean or unused. So I did all my skin prep before trying this which goes as follows; Serum, Oil, Moisurizer and tint. I always massage in my products to stimulate collagen as  well and give a lift. If you use a skin tint which should protect and perfect as well you do not need as much concealer. However using this product just on it's own if you had to run to carline or the store or just want to look fresh this will make you look ten years younger instantly. 
The first time I put this on I giggled it was like finding the perfect house in the exact location you wanted and never found. I felt like someone turned on the lights. I just took a tiny amount of product on my brush and started at the inner corner, then I put it in  my laugh lines. This literally lasted me until 8:30 at night and looked exactly like it did when I applied it at 7am. First of all that in itself is a miracle! The color blended so exactly into my skin I could not see where it began or ended. I have extreamly dry skin and this locked in my moisurizer and it never went dry, that is a first especially for something with staying power. It also covered a dark freckle that always pops out mid day. When I first put it on with no other makeup I thought I look so much younger! I did also get a compliment right away from my partner. So then I took a picture and sent it to my daughter who I have pact with to tell me the truth about how I look, the same, better or worse. She knows I am consistantly trying products and need fresh eyes. That being said my search was over. I also knew that this very generous pot of concealer about an inch high , this will last at least a year with daily use. So about a week into this I'm so delighted and young, I try my tint under it. 
I discover I barely have to use any product and I'm looking very smooth and fresh. bear in mind my skin care game is on point and I will go into that on another blog. 
At this point I am so excited about my miracle find, I write a reveiw and I contact the company to tell them how much I love this product and that I would like to feature it it in my blog.
I get the most beautiful response from the actual president of the company and here is where I get into the rest of the products above. I learned quite a few things that I actually did not know in all my years of research and skin care obsession. One there are tints that can reduce your pore size and hold moisuture. Two this is a mind blower, you should not use your oils or face moisurizers on your neck because the skin is too thin and it weighs down your skin. So we are wrinking the neck with all of the products. This is why there are specific creams for the neck with different ingredients. The neck as you know is a fight that needs it's own army. It's sad no one tells us about this when we are young enough to buy a bigger hat. We will go into the other crazy areas of body wrinkling we never expected on anther day. I hope you are chuckling and this is resonating.
So I decided to give the other products in this line a try. Above I have the tint , the serum, the neck cream and the eyeshadow pallet. Where to begin this is like a honeymoon with these products. Let me just say again, I have been trying every price point and product to come out for about 30 plus years. I usually find one or two products in a line that might be worth revisit.

The neck & decollete firming cream used on it's own is literally amazing! You will see a difference in the first few days. This in itself is worth a party. I used the longevity serum and the skin tint, Peau Vierge Anti-Aging complexe together as well. These two are like a little dance together. 
I can tell you that I will not be without these products in the future. My pores are smaller, I'm glowy, smooth and it looks natural. All of this with no residue on my skin. 
Again my partner a person of few words in this regard noticed and said are you wearing the special black box products, you look very pretty! That is highly unusual for my ESPN obsessed partner. That being said my photo's did not need the retouch filters normally used. 

The eye shadow pallet: The Era of Restoration Eye Kaleidoscope

I was not expecting this much fun! The colors are not sparkly they glisten which is a much better effect. This can be subtle or dramatic and all four can be layered right on top of eachother. The colors are stunning and iridescent and they actually feel like there is some moisure factor here as well. The ingredients include jojaba seed oil which which is a humectant and attracts water to the top layer of the skin which means your shadows will never look dry or leave you dry.
This reminds me of the glamorous 60ies or 80ies. I really have not cared that much about eyeshadow in the past several years of panic over the restoration of my youth process. However this could bring back my inner glam girl from way back. In the picture above I used the rose-gold and the coppery gold together layered as Mikey shows in his video on the site. For myself I keep most of the color below the top of the bone so that it doesn't get into the folds which is aging.
The other lovely surprise with these shadow's is the consistancy, they are so silky and that is why they layer so well. It can be very subltle or very dramatic. I really like the lightness to the shadow as well. let me tell you I'm not huge on expensive shadow pallets but this consistency is very unuasual. also, the clever way these swivel open is so fun and easy to use and fits right into your palm. It just feels like everything has been carefully thought about and like pure luxury in a very new and unique way. 

The Serum and the Anti-Aging Tint

I do recommend these together. Reduced pores, glow, smoothing effects, It also seems to me that these products were all designed to work with each other. I really like how I don't look like my skin is covered in makeup I just look well cared for. I do not feel the product either to the touch throughout the day yet I sill look very dewy seven hours in. This is skin care makeup to be sure. I feel that over time this just has to keep getting better. I for one really appreciate multi-tasking skin care/makeup. The consistancy and feel on the skin is the real game changer for me with this line in addition to it all just feels like luxery and glamour too.
