SKINCARE: LA PRAIRIE LUXE LIFESAVER I LIVE BY & LOVE

MY LUXE LA PRAIRIE LOVES
I LIVE BY AND LOVE


NOTE:  I get preview samples for review purposes
La Prairie is luxury in skincare and many swear by it because it simply works. I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" (and yes, I know you'll say "but you didn't pay for them, you're an Editor) which is true, but that doesn't mean that I won't think twice before purchasing a product I believe in, if I have to! I do buy and even use bargain beauty brands, but I won't skimp where it's necessary: my skincare!




Unlike many women, I am PROUD to say my 37 - nothing to hide! I do review hundreds of products, brands (and I do actually use them) but my ultimate favorite that I swear by, is La Prairie.


Recently, Kim Zolciak Biermann shared her skin care routine on Instagram  and I LOVE KIM, always have and who are you kidding? Her skin is FAB and that is one, truly blessed woman, who believes in the same motto as me: "ask, believe, RECEIVE!" What was one of Kim's skincare secrets? La Prairie Platinum Rare ($1,050)

Here I'm sharing my complete La Prairie arsenal and you'll see why I'm hooked! Skincare is top on my list, right up there with hair, of course. 


1. Anti-Aging Eye & Lip Perfection A Porter ($150) I've previously reviewed this item (click here) and its the perfect 2-in-1 compact: lip on one side, eyes on the other. I am in love with the eye formula as it's silky, creamy rich all at the same time and lasts all day long. The lip balm is out of this world and beyond hydrating - LOVE IT! 



2. Sleep Caviar Luxe Sleep Mask ($300) Aside from the cute applicator brush, we all know where I stand with sleep: 2 jobs and a busy life, but I make sure to get my 8-10 hours of sleep every night - it's the best way to rejuvenate, replenish and repair your skin. That's where this baby comes in. I apply it twice a week and viola! How to use: Brush over entire face (avoid eye area). Use upward strokes on the forehead and outward strokes over the cheeks. Use downward strokes on the nose and chin.l


3. Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil ($300) I know what you'll think "oil, won't it cause breakouts?" The answer is NO! This is a sheer, moisture binding treatment oil and truly saved my life during the brutal Polar Vortex this past winter and with no breakouts! 



4. Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Cream ($300)  Glistening, age-delaying cream. I use this combined with the dry oil Instantly disappears into my skin and feels and LOOKS amazing.



5. Cellular Eye Contour Cream ($150) Best-selling CLASSIC since 1978, simply put: a rich and nourishing eye cream. PREVENTION IS KEY and seems to be working for me. 



6. Ultra Protection Stick Eye/Lip/Nose Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 ($70) Portable and sleek sun stick for the eye, lip and nose area, with SPF 40. 



7. Cellular Hand Cream ($105) A age minimizing hand treatment because you can't neglect your hands as they age too. As a writer I look at my hands all day long and other do too. Gently exfoliates, softens and even removes age spots, if you have them.
