Cle De Peau

Coverup (under $20!)

Do you have a favorite lip gloss you reach for over and over again, you know the one that’s found in your car, random coat pockets, and every third purse? And somehow I’ve become one of those people who can’t go to bed without applying a TON of lip balm, so now there’s one by the bed too. Although whoever created lip balm should have his own museum because it’s pretty darn great, this lip balm is rock-star awesome. 
First of all, it’s moisture-rich, so my lips never feel dry, which is huge in the dry California climate. And it comes in different tints, and the tints are all gorgeous. You know how sometimes you put on lip balm and suddenly your lips are this weird orange-y sick pink color? Never happens with this lip balm. I use the clear one at night and the tinted ones during the day. When I wear the red one (gorgeous slight red tint) my son always asks me where I’m going. So you have the beauty of lipstick, with the convenience of lip balm! Um, yes please. Otherwise, my favorite work from home look is a tee, pajama pants, clear lip balm and a messy bun. 
Another really great thing about this lip balm is that it can be used as a stand-alone or as a primer. It helps with the appearance of full lips (did you know that as you age your lips thin??) and repairs dryness. I reach for it over and over again because I like the soft color and incredible moisturizer. It’s a bonus that it is small enough to fit in my makeup bag and purse, goes on smooth and looks natural. I like all three colors but if I had to choose, Coral works best for me. Honestly, go try them! It’s lip balm, so you’re not breaking the bank, and the pay-out is huge.

Friday afternoon, Reid and I visited a gorgeous mid-century modern home in the hills with Clé De Peau for an amazing facial. He did his architectural wanderings while I relaxed in bliss–definitely a win-win.

Joanna Czech, the celebrity esthetician, started off by applying Clé De Peau la crème, eye contour creme supreme, and the serum onto my face, neck and decolletage. Initially, I was a little worried about my sensitive skin reacting to the new products, but not only did my skin not react negatively, it actually glowed. So of course, I’m continuing all the products! She also used red and yellow LED lights and a steamer to give me the most relaxed hour and a half that I’ve had in ages.

Here are two useful, and easy, tips for beautiful skin from Joanna:

1. You can use eye cream all over.

2. Don’t forget the neck and chest. When our neck skin ages, it makes you look old. Take care of your neck and chest with quality anti-aging products like la crème and serum. 

I wish I could go back tomorrow, but instead I’ll be in Dallas in April, and hope to pay her a visit. If you’re in the area, you should too! You won’t regret it. In the meantime, you have all the Clè de Peau products at your fingertips at Nordstrom.

Here are the products Joanna used in my facial:

La Crème – the ultimate night creme that helps rejuvenate your skin while you sleep. Did you know that your skin temperature rises when you sleep leading to increased blood flow? Additionally, your skin’s ability to function decreases during sleep and is exposed to oxidation as well. The crème is targeted to react to those factors and help improve skin density and prevent signs of aging. Mais oui!

The Serum – smoothing plumping and great for anti-aging. It has a blend of red brown and green kelp that activate the skin’s regenerative powers and helps promote a smoother looking skin texture. Skin is brighter, softer, and more intensely hydrated after use.

Eye Contour Creme – This eye creme can be used all over the face and visibly re-contours the entire eye area. After use, the eye area appears more plump and youthful. My favorite benefit to this eye creme is the significant decrease in dark circles and bags underneath the eyes. This is especially helpful after long nights up with a teething toddler.

So grateful for a wonderful facial and valuable information about these anti-aging products. I’m excited to see the results!

Thank you Clé de Peau for sponsoring this post. All opinions my own.


If you ask anyone who knows me, knows I’m not an expert at makeup and keep my look pretty minimal. I prefer minimal and it fits my fast paced life of running a household of six and soon to be seven. I don’t have time to sit in front of the mirror in the morning, so what’s my 5min routine you ask, here it is. I try and put on primer (Supergoop sunscreen that acts as primer and great for this LA heatwave) concealer (a mix of RMS and Jouer concealers), bronzer and Jouer highlighter. I’ve also mentioned before, I try and use this face tanner 3x a week for some color to my face minus the UV Rays and potential damage from the sun. And. if I’m honest, I do the above while sitting at the breakfast table, strategically avoiding the honey and sticky oatmeal spills on my makeup bag, and in between homework help and clean up. One day I’ll have time for false lashes and maybe another layer of bronzer, but in the meantime, less is MORE, and I’d rather be a good mom balancing momlife with just enough bronzer and highlighter to feel a little extra. I think us mom deserve at least that.

A short note on this Cle De Peau Lip Glorifier. It enhances your natural lip colors with ingredients like shea butter, glow-oil base, and gave my lips softness and appearing a little more plump. Its great for a girl on the go who whats a natural glow along with her natural look. This product makes me think of my sister who says no lip color looks good on her, she needs this lip product that just naturally brings out her natural color without adding to it. I can’t wait for her to try it.

What’s your 5 min routine? Do share!
