Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum 1 oz $50 - Beauty.com

Preparing for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is like preparing for a marathon. Only instead of sneakers, I am running around my office in Gucci heels and instead of gulping down gallons of water, I am hunting for the most caffeinated beverage available.

 

 


When my body is stressed to the max, it shows up on my face - no matter how much oil absorbent mineral powder I apply.

 


My latest skin savior? Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins™ Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Advanced Face Serum. This lightweight serum helps reduce redness, skin irritation and works to prevent signs of premature aging aka smile lines and forehead wrinkles. This fall skin saver helps to reduce redness and improve skin's overall health. LOVE THAT!

A Gift for You, La Mer for Me

By TheGlamtastic · December 15, 2009 · 0 Comments ·
La Mer The Moisturizing Gel Cream $230 - Bloomingdale's
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?
