Trendsetter, socialite, entrepreneur and influencer, Amber Ridinger, creator of Lumière de Vie® and Layered, debuts her first-ever collaboration with Motives®: the Essential Collection.  Amber has always been passionate about all things beauty and skincare so teaming up with Motives for this special collaboration only made sense.
