Fashion flashback: Remember that iconic Versace silk number Jennifer Lopez poured herself into for the Grammy Awards red carpet in 2000? Sure you do.
Well, backstage lore has it that the diva marinated every inch of her bronzed bod in Creme de La Mer to prep for the gratuitous surfeit of skin on display that night – and that the verdant print of the green gown itself was an ode to the near-magical blend of marine kelp the French prestige skincare brand is famed for.
We can’t corroborate that bit of beauty gossip, but Jennifer Lopez has amassed quite an industry rep for being, shall we say, a lover of the finer things in life.
For what it's worth, though, Judy Greer of The Wedding Planner fame has it on record that her sexy silver screen co-star is a La Mer addict of sorts; Jennifer’s been observed on-set absolutely barefaced, with just the heroine creme on her visage.
Loosen your purse strings! Presenting the three-step routine for discerning divas
To get the J-Lo glow, try blowing your beauty wad on La Mer’s triple threat, essentially an evening three-step routine write large and very luxe.
Start by massaging your mien with the velvety richness of the Regenerating Serum, a super salve said to soften the appearance of even the deepest of wrinkles. Follow up by brushing on the new Lifting and Firming Mask, an incredibly lush leave-on lifting booster.
Wait for a couple of minutes, then finish by using your clean fingers to warm up a pinch of Creme de La Mer, the ageless star of the range, before pressing it into your face to seal in all of the seaweedy goodness.
Viola! Impossibly taut, J-Lo-worthy skin in three simple steps. The damage? We’ve done the math and it ain’t all that bad: “Just” $1,240 for your starter kit of all three full-sized products. Jennifer's love may not cause a thing, but La Mer’s so-called Miracle Broth – and miracles period, for that matter – don’t come cheap!
La Mer Regenerating Serum, $460 for 30 ml, Lifting and Firming Mask, $330 for 50 ml, and Creme de La Mer, $450 for 60 ml, are available at all La Mer counters. For more information, visit www.lamer.com.sg.
