Way back in the day, we thought nothing of tin foil and baby oil as the necessary accessories needed to attain the perfect bronze glow. Unless you looked like Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, a tan would at least compensate for a less-than-ten bod. The point is, we didn't care about taking care of our skin.  Today, it is an obsession.  We're always on the lookout for the miracle cream that is going to turn back time and prevent further damage.  We are thrilled to say, at least for this month, our skin thirst has been quenched.  We are even more thrilled that we get to share this amazing buzz worthy find with you!

  

About the Brand: As a working actress Jennifer Yen struggled with breakouts from hours in makeup under hot lights.  Her quest to find the perfect natural results oriented line of skincare came up short so she decided to make one herself.  The result was Pur-lisse, a complete skincare line that blends centuries-old Chinese beauty secrets (inspired by products her own grandma used) with modern French skin science. At the core of the line is a Lotus Lupine Peptide Complex, an age-preventative formula with five key ingredients including the Blue Lotus flower and White Tea.

 

Why We Love It

This stuff is seriously hot off the presses.  We love being able to say we had it before everyone else, so if you were one of the lucky ones to get Pur-lisse in your box this month, exploit your elite status now before Pur-lisse is a household name.   Beyond the snob factor, we really love that the products are free of harmful parabens, petrochemicals, propylene-glycol and synthetic colors and fragrances.  Every product in the line makes our skin look and feel fresh, youthful and silky soft.   Plus, it smells good too! 

 

Current Obsessions: All the products are wonderful, but we have two stand out favorites.  The first is Pur-Moist Hydra-Balance Moisturizer because it moisturizes and renews keeping our skin soft and supple.   The other is Pur-Eye Adore Quadra Benefit Eye Serum because it handles ALL of our eye concerns (lines, puffiness, loss of moisture, AND dark circles). 

 

In the Box: Subscribers to the November Yellow Box received two fabulous products from Pur-lisse:  A Pur-Moist hydra-balance moisturizer (So worth the hefty price tag since it pulls double duty leaving your skin soft and smooth while fighting free radicals and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles too!), and a tin of Blue-Lotus Organic White Tea (a yummy blend with blueberries and pomegranate packed with antioxidants because beauty begins on the inside) Use daily for that fresh out of high school glow. Phoebe would have if she could have.
