As the flow of holiday party invitations clutters my email inbox, the realization that I’ll probably get no sleep ‘til the New Year settled in even more.  While all the parties seem like such a blur, the lack of rest is very apparent on my skin – especially under the eyes!  For emergencies, I always squeeze in a tiny tube of concealer into my small “only-for-parties” handbag or clutch.  Also a big fan of highlighter, I try to carry that as well since it brightens up my usually dull (from running on coffee and Redbull) face!

I was recently introduced to The City of Light collection from Sampar Paris and I am now stocking my “arsenal” with its handy Spot Lighter.  Its high-powered clarifying element is made with 10 percent of the natural pigment in citrus fruits and vegetables, making it powerful yet not chemically altered.  As of late, I’m becoming a huge fan of facial products that utilize organic and natural gifts rather than those created in a laboratory.  Other ingredients include the exfoliating power of subtilisine microcristal enzymes, which can potentially cause less allergies than glycolic acid.

Made with a soft, angled applicator tip, this pen-size marvel can fit into any purse with no trouble!  Use it on any dark or uneven pigmentation on the face, neck, and hands.  And unlike other lightening and brightening treatments, you can apply the Spot Lighter a few times a day – perfect for those 911 moments!

Available at Beauty360 and Sampar.com for $45.
