It Works! Magic Face Oil for March Madness

March: A time of transition. Not quite winter, not yet spring. No longer bitterly cold, but oy with the chill already. We could still get snow, but we can also get potted hyacinths and tulips. Emotionally, there's hope; dermatologically, there's confusion.

It's time to move on from the winter moisturizer, which is good because I just ran out. Yet it's still too early for my secret weapon for summer (which I'll share about here in good time; chillax). What to do--clog or flake?

Neither, thanks to my connection, Beauty Mole, an industry insider who must remain nameless. Think of B-Mole as FNB's version of Deep Throat. If you're over 40, you'll get that reference immediately. If not, go here, but then come back quickly or you'll miss the whole point of this blog entry...

Are you back yet? Do you feel informed? Great. Now: help for skin in transitional weather. Beauty Mole slipped me a bottle of this stuff:


Clarins Huile Santal Face Treatment Oil. Verdict? LOVE. Loving. Lov-ing-it. I put it on and I feel nothing--just my skin. I daresay this oil and a decent night's sleep might cause one to get carded at the local wine emporium when purchasing one's nightly case bottle of malbec. I don't know if I'd feel this way in the winter, as I'll never give up my Clark's Botanicals Deep Moisture Mask, but for right now, this stuff is right on. As in, right on my skin.
The price isn't bad either. Average cost: around $42.

[And now, the disclaimer: How je would adore to be lost in the ethical swamp wherein I had to confess to receiving payola for my endorsements. Fortunately for you (if not my wallet), I can tell you that while I received this product as a gift, I was under no obligation to plug it. I'm merely doing my duty, fulfilling the mission statement of this blog: to help women who are 40, plus or minus, to be the best damn 40-ish ladies they can be.]


Bisoux, bellas.
