We've all been caught in the vicious shopping cycle, one gift for you and one gift for me.
After purchasing a little something for my hubby this weekend, I was running through the department store's first floor, which during the holiday season resembles the floor of the New York Stock Exchange pre-computers. Everyone was scurrying around, waving their lists and tossing their handbags. Before I knew it, I was standing in front of the La Mer counter.
Now, I've worked in beauty for the past five years and can say that I've tried practically every lotion and potion marketed in the U.S. and some abroad, but I had been holding out on actually purchasing La Mer on principle. Why should my moisturizer cost as much as my Tory Burch flats? That just seems crazy!
However, as of last Saturday, I have been converted! I am now in love with La Mer! I purchased my very own La Mer The Moisturizing Gel Cream for a whopping $230 plus tax. I cleansed my skin and applied a super small amount of product, practically the size of a pearl or two, once a day before bed.
I came into work on Monday to tell my co-workers about my conversion to La Mer, but the results were all over my face. After only a few days of usage (I am not kidding), my skin was intensely hydrated, less red, less dry. My skin appeared softer and was silky to the touch.
I guess you can put a price on beautiful skin and it's $230. Worth every penny!
What's your holiday splurge?
