Hyaluronic Acid: Treatment For Thirsty Skin
You ask, Bella delivers! Last week we talked about Hyaluronic Acid, a component in your skin that can absorb up to 1000 times its weight in water. It helps the skin stay plump and smooth until our early twenties, when the moisture level begins to gradually deplete.

Product Review: Nars Skin Potent EFA Cream
About a month ago, Nars released a new, highly concentrated, skin-restoring face moisturizer called Lipid Support Potent EFA Cream ($70 for 1.7 oz).

Everyone has days when work feels like a labor of love, but then there are the days when I come home to a shiny package filled with a jar of Omorovicza Plumping Cream ($260) — and suddenly I remember how lucky I am!

Coming Soon: Lola Cosmetics Firming Sensation Tinted Eye Balm
Due out in stores this Summer is the newest concealer launch from Lola Cosmetics called Firming Sensation Tinted Eye Balm ($22). What makes this concealer different from the rest is that it's designed to moisturize, brighten, cover dark circles and it even helps heal blemishes — all without the use of oils, fragrances, or parabens.
They call it a refining concealer because it contains hyaluronic acid to keep skin moist throughout the day.
Product Review: Shiseido The Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation
