skincare line EmerginC. Along with its multivitamins, the line features a gentle Retinol serum that helps refine the skin and leave you with a beautiful glow. The facial begins with two cleanings—a surface cleanse and a deeper cleanse using the Clarisonic brush—with EmerginC's creamy MultiFruit Cleanser. "A second cleanse with the Clarisonic is essential because it removes dead skin cells," says Stimpson. "We need a clean, new surface so the products can really penetrate and be more effective." The clean face is then treated with a peach toner, light extractions, and a microscrub exfoliation to rid it of all impurities and allow for a bright glow. The extraordinary step, however, is the vitamin C facial mask—that's what brings the pizzazz. The vitamin C and Retinol mixture is applied with a fan brush and left to be absorbed for 10 minutes, while the aesthetician gently scrubs and massages the hands for extra moisture and stress relief. "We call the Radiance Facial our 'hot date' facial because of the multivitamin mask," Stimpson says. "It gives you a great glow and tightness, so you really just look fabulous leaving the treatment room." The immediate lifting effects can be seen, on average, for 24 hours, thanks to the high concentration of multivitamins and antioxidants. To prolong the facial's effects, Stimpson recommends using EmerginC's Triple Peel Enzyme and Hyper Vitalizer Cream at home.

The Organic Gardens Facial at Encore uses the Éminence Organic Skin Care product line exclusively; the line boasts healing and soothing ingredients such as chamomile, lavender, and lemongrass. "This facial is perfect for people who want to take their regimen to a higher level of consciousness," says Stimpson. "The theory behind the organic movement in facials is if you can't eat it, you shouldn't put it on your skin." That will certainly not be a problem for this facial, which is loaded with fruit pulp, seeds, and handpicked herbs. The facial begins with a consultation and skin analysis by a certified aesthetician to pinpoint problem areas and discuss the client's expectations. After a coconut milk cleansing, the face is treated to a mimosa Champagne tonique to remove excess oil, then exfoliated with a vitamin-rich strawberry-rhubarb mixture. A masque lush with Hungarian paprika is applied and allowed to soak in for up to seven minutes, stimulating the skin. This treatment renders a healthy glow, restoring vibrancy to a tired, dull complexion. "The effect of the Organic Gardens Facial is firmer skin through an active oxygenating process," says Stimpson. "It leaves your skin glowing." Such luminosity is ideal for an evening filled with temptations known only to Las Vegas. With that in mind, let the games begin. ■ COLOR UP Laura Mercier's Spring 2013 offerings help you keep that glow all day—and night. MADE IN THE SHADE The Crème Smooth Lip Color ($26) is a favorite from Laura Mercier's new Spring range, due to its soft texture and vibrant shades. The full-coverage lipstick provides a wash of color that enhances plumpness, while the olive oil and vitamin E ingredients moisturize lips to provide long-wearing benefits. Drugstore, 702-770-3535 GILD AND GLIDE Caviar Sticks ($24), one of Mercier's Spring 2013 launches, are saturated and shimmery cream eyeshadow hues in colors like rose gold, pink opal, orchid, sugar frost, and mint snow. The smooth application is buildable for more-intense color and doesn't crease, perfect for an evening of wear. Drugstore, 702-770-3535 A HINT OF TINT "Making your skin look perfect is the first and most important thing you can do to achieve a truly great look," says Mercier. Jessica Catanzaro, Wynn's beauty buyer, lists the Tinted Moisturizer ($43) as a favorite of Wynn guests, thanks to the sheer coverage; the luminous, lightweight formulation; and the SPF 20 UVB/UVA sunscreen to protect against Nevada's harsh rays.
