GrandCentralBeauty S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting Serum+Primer

On February 27th, I celebrated the launch of GrandCentralBeauty S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting Serum+Primer, with founders Jackie Lee and Ginger King at Henri Bendel, with event co-hosts Lara Eurdolian of Pretty Connected and Jessica Pimentel from Orange is the New Black.

The S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting Serum+Primer is a unique all-over face treatment that instantly smoothes, moisturizes and acts as your makeup primer, under-eye smoother, over-makeup setter and lip serum, while working continuously to treat imperfections. This serum+primer uses exclusive S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting technology, resulting in products that Smooth, Moisturize, Anti-Aging, Redness-reduce, and Tone. 

This oil-free serum+ primer works for all skin types and combines natural moisturizers, fruits, and botanicals such as squalane from brazilian sugar cane, apple, watermelon, lentil, rice and soybean protein. The serum+primer provides instant hydration, diminishes appearance of fine lines, under eye dark circles and puffiness, softens skin texture and features instantly brighter, more even-toned skin. 

GrandCentralBeauty S.M.A.R.T. Skin Perfecting Serum+Primer is available at Henry Bendel, NewBeauty at Fred Segal Santa Monica, Birchbox.com (It was recently sampled in March's Birchbox), grandcentralbeauty.com and select specialty and apothecary boutiques.
