Guess what Beth from Glamour magazine saw when she was interviewing a makeup artist backstage? I’ll give you some hints: They’re made for babies, are super affordable, and Petra’s been taking her makeup off with them for months.
They’re baby wipes! And as Petra found, they’re really great as face wipes because they’re gentle and remove makeup with ease (well, all except her DiorShow mascara). Plus, they work out to about 7 cents a wipe, they’re very budget-friendly.
Do any of you guys use baby wipes as face wipes? Thinking of giving them a try?
The 20-year-old Beastly beauty is one of the many spokespersons for the health and beauty brand. Other spokespersons include Hayden Panettiere and most recently, Emma Roberts.
Vanessa’s newest flick, Bandslam, hits theaters on August 14th. Check out her latest Neutrogena commercial below!

La Mer Introduces
The Hydrating Facial
Dr. Max Huber’s legacy of healing and renewing the skin is celebrated once again with La Mer’s introduction of The Hydrating Facial. The ultimate in moisturization, this two-zoned mask delivers superior hydration through a luxurious, sensorial, spa-like experience to reawaken the appearance of youth. In minutes, dry complexions are renewed, visibly transforming the skin. Skin is left hydrated, nourished, smoothed and conditioned with a resilient healthy glow, ready to receive the benefits of Crème de la Mer.
Skin concerns such as dryness, fine lines and dark spots are all addressed in the
100% cotton, two-zoned mask that is saturated with the fast-acting formula.
La Mer’s Hydrating Facial contains a trio of transformative benefits that makes this new product so effective:
Super Hydrators
The Sea Moist Ferment, a special blend of dark green algae gathered from all over the world in countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Brittany and the US, infuses the skin with intense hydration.
Super Anti-Agers
Marine plant algae such as Ascophyllum Nodosum and Aparagopsis Armata help
to diminish visible signs of aging. Dark spots and discoloration begin to fade in appearance, revealing a clearer, more even complexion. The Hydrating Facial also contains cellular lipids and plant extracts derived from melon and avocado to
provide a smoother skin texture.
Super Energizers
Ultra soft to the touch, the spun-lace cotton mask is embedded with tourmaline and Mariponic Ferments that energize and set molecules into motion. The Hydrating Facial mask drives the formula into the skin, boosting hydration.
When making The Hydrating Facial, a high energy inversion process is used to
blend the formula together creating a liquid crystal structure. This gives the formula the properties of both a solid and a liquid. As a solid, the formula suspends andprotects the ingredients while still on the mask. When applied to the skin, the formula has the properties of a liquid as it delivers activity to the skin.
This advanced formula saturates the plush mask for enhanced penetration to condition and soothe sensitivities. Skin becomes softer and looks smoother.
Usage
Apply upper zone mask on clean skin. Gently smooth and press into place.
Next, apply lower zone mask, gently smoothing and pressing into place, overlapping at the cheekbones. Leave on for 8 minutes. Gently remove and pat remaining treatment over face and neck, allowing skin to fully absorb the extraordinary benefits. Use morning or evening once a week and follow with Crème de la Mer.
The Hydrating Facial
Suggested Retail Price $250 for 6 applications
The Hydrating Facial will be available in October 2009 at select Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and www.lamer.com
