Meet Simone France - The New "It" Girl

Okay. Little secret I've been keeping for the past two weeks...about my face. It's true,  I have been withholding some verrrry important skincare information from you girls, which I've been bursting to tell y'all about.

My secret's name is Simone France and she is my new best friend.

I know y'all don't see me everyday or in real life, but trust me when I say, Simone France has changed my complexion dramatically.

I was recently contacted by sweet Kate from Simone France to see if I was interested in testing out some of the SF products. After checking out their website and reading up on the product line, it took me approximately two seconds to reply back with an enthusiastic, "yes!"

My loot...pretty amazing, huh?

Because we all love a good fun fact, here are a couple:

• Simone France is the renowned French-born skin care expert whose healing hands and top-of-the-line products have cared for some of the world's most beautiful faces. She built a cult-like following while giving facials to Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Iman, Elle MacPherson and thousands of other women.

• Renowned hairstylists and make up artists such as famed make-up maven Laura Mercier, Francois Nars (founder of NARS) and Sue Devitt, also on Simone France's client roster, regularly recommend her to their clients for the best in skincare products.

The first step in getting me set up with the right products was the diagnosis.

I was given a complete skin analysis (as all Simone France customers are given) before the products were sent, as Simone France works to target each individual skin type based on specific skincare needs. My skin is incredibly dry lately and a little lackluster. I really just wanted that dewy, Hollywood 'glow', so SF recommended:

-Rich Milk (a gentle cleanser)

-Gentle Toner

-Refining Scrub

-Soap (sounds funny, but this basic, cleansing bar has honestly been my favorite product!)

-French Formula Moisturizer (for whipping my skin back into baby-soft condition.)

-Disposable Cleansing Cloths (strangely addictive...makes your skin feel cleaner than a wash cloth.)

So with all of these products, I thought I'd be a little overwhelmed. However, enclosed in the box of goodies was a handy-dandy pamphlet that outlined specific instructions for both Day and Night cleansing rituals.

The most integral part of Simone France is The Sandwich®. Yep, you read that correctly, The Sandwich®. In their own words, Simone France says:

The Sandwich® is a unique combination of moisturizer, scrub and soap, each specifically formulated to work together in an unusual way, along with disposable cleansing cloths that are positively addicting. Don't worry about using soap - the special Sandwich® method allows you to get the cleansing benefits of soap with absolutely none of the dryness.

Here are just some of the reviews from famous sources in the skincare/cosmetics biz:

"The Simone France Sandwich® is the Fountain of Youth."- Amy Astley, Editor, Teen Vogue Magazine

"Simone's skincare is the best!"- Laura Mercier, Make-up Artist to Madonna

"Everyone comments on how youthful my skin looks, and I owe a lot of that to Simone's products" - Sue Devitt, celebrity make-up artist whose work has graced the runways of  Versace, Dolce & Gabbana, Alberta Feretti, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta and Marc Jacobs.

The Verdict:

The snapshot above was taken yesterday afternoon with my iPhone, (because I wanted y'all to get a real, non-Photoshopped-to-heck-and-back glimpse of what my skin looks like), embodies how I feel about this product line. I think the Simone France regime has made my eyes look brighter and even decreased my crow's feet lines around my eyes, in addition to just evening out my overall skin tone!

I've already put a reminder in my phone to re-order in 8 weeks (about the time I should be getting low.) I refuse to go back to my old regime.

So yeah, consider me a Simone France girl. And you, my dear friends, should be, too.
