Once I made enough money, I bought the tote; but now it’s time for the mother load.<br/><br/>I just previewed the full collection at Saks with Erno Laszlo’s dreamy CEO, Charles Denton. Each product was better the be next, their serum can seemingly work magic, their creams felt sublime, and using the Hollywood collection made me feel as close to a star as I will ever get. </span></p> <p><span class="Apple-style-span">Erno Laszlo will also be opening a 10,000 sq ft. space in NYC this October where you will be told what you should do for your skin…not asked. Sort of like<em> 50 Shades of</em> <em>Grey</em> — but giving you great skin without all that pain.
