All in One

Who wakes up with puffy eyes, dark circles, wrinkles and creases that you swore weren't there the night before? That is me, just about everyday. My eyes are puffy by nature I swear. If I didn't get enough sleep or had cried the night before, they look even worse. My puffiness happens below my eyes and it sure isn't pretty. When I heard about this new Le Métier de Beauté Ultra Hydration Eye Mask Duo, I was very interested in trying it. The line is fancy schmancy, and even though I haven't tried any of their skin care yet, I have heard such great things.

This Eye Mask was specifically designed to give eyes an "instant" refresher as it is packed with some pretty strong hydrating actives that work and work fast - in just 15 minutes in fact. The seaweed-based formula is infused into these gel-like "patches" that you place directly under the eyes. They cover the entire under eye area and the top of the cheekbone, where my puffiness occurs.

Ultra Hydration Eye Mask Duo adheres to the undereye area so you can use them anywhere and are clear so you can wear them anytime. I like to place the mask under my eyes right before I dry and curl my hair. They stayed firmly in place as I moved around, even when I bent over to blow the underside of my hair. How great is that? It was like I had a little spa treatment when I was doing something I do every day. They are clear so you could even put them on and bring the kids to school or place them under your eyes right after the gym as you drive home.

My experience in using the eye mask was nothing short of amazing. When I removed the mask from beneath my eyes, I was amazed at how firm and smooth and NOT PUFFY my undereye area was. My cross hatching seemed to be gone for the time being as the lines were hydrated and plumped up so they were barely visible. Amazing! (I had to say it again.)

This is a mask I would love to use every day, and it can be used every day for the ultimate benefit. You can even place the masks in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before applying for an extra cooling effect that would help puffiness even more. Think how great that would be in the summer. It is a pretty expensive treatment; a set of 8 costs $150, and unlike many similar products, each mask is for one time use only. I think I will reserve using them for special occasions when I want to look my very best

If your eyes need some major help and you want to try Le Métier de Beauté Ultra Hydration Eye Mask Duo to see the results yourself, go see Shawn Kelly at Neiman Marcus at the Natick Collection (Boston) or give her a call at 617-536-3660 to learn more and order (I realize most of you are not in the Boston area). They are not yet available online.

Quvenzhané Wallis wanted for Annie

'Beasts of the Southern Wild' star Quvenzhané Wallis is being considered for the lead role in Will Gluck's remake of classic musical 'Annie', after Willow Smith dropped out of the role.

Quvenzhané Wallis is being considered for the lead role in 'Annie'.

Sony is eyeing the nine-year-old 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' star - who is the youngest ever actress to earn a Best Actress nomination at the Academy Awards - to star in its remake of the musical, helmed by 'Easy A' director Will Gluck and produced by Will Smith's Overbrook Entertainment, reports Entertainment Weekly.

Despite Quvenzhané being tipped for the role, a studio representative stresses that no casting decisions have yet been made.

The remake of the classic musical about a young orphan was first announced in 2010 as a collaborative project between Will and rapper Jay-Z - who will also produce through his Marcy Media banner - with the 'Men in Black 3' actor's daughter Willow Smith, who is signed to Jay-Z's record label, set to star.

The now 12-year-old 'Whip My Hair' singer officially departed the film last month after ageing out of the role.

Her father said: ''Willow was supposed to be doing 'Annie', we got Jay-Z to do the movie, got the studio to come in and Willow had such a difficult time on tour with 'Whip My Hair' and she said, 'You know, daddy, I don't think so. I have a better idea, how about I just be 12.' ''

The film's script was written by 'Nanny McPhee' scribe Emma Thompson, while Jay-Z is set to compose the score.

Grammy Awards attracts 28.1m viewers

12 February 2013 Last updated at 10:31 GMT Grammy Awards Adele and Mumford and Sons

Adele presented Mumford and Sons with the album of the year gong, which was one of six she won in 2012 The Grammy Awards scored their second-biggest audience in 20 years on Sunday.

A total of 28.1 million Americans watched this year's broadcast, although the figure was down 30% on last year.

The 2012 ceremony, in which stars paid tribute to Whitney Houston, who had died a day earlier, won a US television audience of 39.9 million.

Sunday's show saw awards for Adele, The Black Keys, Fun and Gotye, with the coveted album of the year prize going to British band Mumford and Sons.

The Grammys TV audience has risen steadily since organisers decided to focus on performances over speeches.

It now outpaces the Emmys and Golden Globes, but comes second to the Oscars, which traditionally scores an audience of more than 30 million.

All of the awards shows are dwarfed by the Super Bowl, however. Beyonce's recent half-time performance was seen by 108 million people in America alone, with the peak audience of 164.1 million for the match itself.

A-game performances

Sunday's Grammy broadcast garnered mostly positive reviews, with Chris Richards from The Washington Post writing: "For the first time in too long, the Grammys telecast was a good time in and of itself - a refreshingly coherent celebration of our increasingly incoherent popscape."

Justin Timberlake made his musical return on the show, after a break of six years. Rihanna, Sting and Taylor Swift also performed, while Bruno Mars joined Ziggy and Damian Marley in a tribute to the late reggae star Bob Marley.

There was also a tribute to the late US rocker Levon Helm, led by Elton John, Mumford and Sons, Mavis Staples, the Zac Brown Band and Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes.

Richards added: "There were A-game performances, trophy-hoarders who deserved to win them and very few reasons to wince, grouse or wish you were watching Downton Abbey."

Rihanna performed Stay with collaborator and singer-songwriter Mikky Ekko

A less favourable Guardian blog post read: "Are the Grammys voted for a by a bunch of people who don't really listen to music? It certainly seems that way.

"Witness not just the inclusion of the easy-to-deride Mumford & Sons in the album of the year category, but their triumph in that category over Frank Ocean."

Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times said the simpler moments, like Rihanna performing her ballad Stay, stood out.

"In a three-and-a-half hour blur of high-tech spectacle, these performances felt like reaffirmations of core musical values - honest, unaffected, simple," he said.

Meanwhile, Rob Sheffield at Rolling Stone Magazine said in recent years "the Grammys bash has turned into the awards show that really aims to capture the crackle and sparkle of pop music, in all its demented excess.

"And last night was full of demented moments. It had R&B crooners and big-cheddar teen smoothies."

Sales rise

As expected, many of the winners found themselves shooting up the iTunes chart following the Los Angeles ceremony.

Pre-orders of Justin Timberlake's forthcoming record The 20/20 Experience rocketed, putting him at number seven in the US iTunes album chart a month before its release date.

The Top 5 on the chart is dominated by Grammy artists - including Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers, Fun's debut album Some Nights and The Black Keys' El Camino.
