Experts say daily use of sunscreen is the number one defense against skin aging from UVA and UVB damage. However, many high-protection sunscreens are thick, heavy on the skin, and even opaque—and we hate that. But we just tried Kiehl’s new Dermatologist Solutions Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+, with Kiehl’s highest level of UVA and UVB sunscreen protection. It’s super lightweight, matte and blendable, translucent, oil-free, and ideal for daily use under makeup. Available at Kiehl’s Since 1851 store at South Coast Plaza, and Kiehls.com.

Taste Test

OK, so it didn’t happen overnight, but good things are worth waiting for. It took Fleming’s one-year of tasting, testing and perfecting more than 50 additions (where can we get a job like that?) before narrowing it down to eight new menu offerings. And now, Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse has added smaller portion sizes, healthier options, at accessible prices. Fleming’s enlisted two culinary experts, LA-based Chef Jamie Gwen and Tampa-based Chef Jeannie Pierola to create two new innovative steak dishes, deemed New Classics.
Chef Jamie Gwen created a porcini-rubbed filet mignon, reinventing the classic pairing of blue cheese and filet mignon. It’s a perfectly broiled filet dusted with finely ground porcini mushrooms, finished with rich and silky Italian Gorgonzola cream sauce and served with high country asparagus spears. Chef Pierola’s peppercorn steak is a classic prime New York steak au poivre, but instead of traditional rich cognac or sherry cream sauce, it’s served with “F17” steak sauce, a proprietary blend of 17 ingredients, including molasses, honey, orange juice and chipotle peppers.
Other new menu options are Tillamook Bay Petrale Sole lightly seasoned, served with delicious lump crab beignets; and a lighter entrée option, salmon Nicoise salad. For a complete list of new menu items visit here. And don’t forget, Fleming’s has 100 wines by the glass—something for every dish and palate.
Open 5 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar at 455 Newport Center Drive in Fashion Island, in Newport Beach. 949.720.9633
