At a recent party in Dallas, my friend Ana Pettus treated me to an “It Kit,” created by Julie Macklowe, the founder of VBeauté. Many of my friends have already raved about the line – developed, high-tech skincare with a focus on aging skin – but it was this chic travel set I fell in love with at first sight (there’s a large mirror in interior of the gunmetal clutch-case, so it’s convenient for plane use!).

However, after using the products for a week, I can honestly tell you this is one of the best lines I’ve tried.

The kit contains: Undercover Agent (anti-wrinkle serum), Rub Off (facial exfoliator), Evidence Eraser (foaming cleanser), Buying Time (everyday cream), and Eye Never (nourishing eye cream). With just five steps, it’s such a simple system. It was difficult for a girl like me, who’s been on the 13-step regimen for years, to make the transition, but my skin looks better than ever. I’m obsessed with Undercover Agent – the anti-aging cocktail instantly smoothes the entire face! My kit is almost all gone, but luckily, it’s refillable! At VBeauté for $165.
