About six months ago, I went in for a facial.  (Closest thing to heaven, in my opinion!)  After my facial, the technician sent me home with a small sample of Phytomer’s Ogenage Sublime Youthful Firming Day Cream.  I love it so much, I dang near cut the tube open at the end to get every little drop I could squeeze out of it. This moisturizer is absolutely amazing, probably the best I’ve ever used.  So this past weekend, I finally broke down and actually bought some.  I know $86 is spendy, but it will last for a LONG time.

Highly concentrated in marine extracts, this light and silky cream offers the skin an idea intensive care against the marks of time.  “L’Eternelle des Mers”, a blue micro-algae extract with youth-giving properties, protects your skin from cellular aging.  From the very first application, your skin is more supple and luminous.  With daily use, skin becomes firmer, wrinkles fade and your complexion is visibly brighter.

Made in France

So do you agree? I think Matt Damon is cute and comes off like a really nice guy but I don’t think he would be my vote for sexiest man alive. I would have to vote for Olivier Martinez or fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds.
