IS A SPLUGE-WORTHY LUXURY FACE CREAM WORTH $2400?

Keeping our skin hydrated while looking young has been a hunt for many. During the cold winter season we try everything on our skin from cream cleansers, essential oils and even Vaseline (not me, but I heard people still do). I have been using luxury anti-aging face creams for 20 plus years now and see the difference. I first tried this splurge-worthy luxury face cream, CHANEL Sublimage back when it launched on 2006. While working at Neiman Marcus in Beauty as a Manager, this gold jar was presented to me and I was HOOKED. It was believed that Jennifer Aniston needed a glow for an event and CHANEL gifted her the gift of Sublimage. At a price tag of $400.00 a jar this cream evens, hydrates, improves density, and restore the skins texture leaving a healthy glow keeping the skin firm.

Currently I am using this splurge-worthy luxury face cream now, Creme de La Mer with my extra hydration cocktail of Kate Somerville’s DermalQuench and Trish McEvoy Beauty Booster Oil. As a results, both deliver quick hydration and assist with moisture absorbtion while leaving skin plump and soft. I still use face serums in conjunction with the mentioned items, that will be another blog post later this year (stay tuned).

Luxury creams Left to Right – Creme de La Mer $95-$2400, Guerlain Orchidee Anti-aging cream $480, CHANEL Sublimage $400

Creme de La Mer

Creme de La Mer is my go-to staple all year long. I love this iconic cream packed with “Miracle Broth” the heart of La Mer’s powers hydrates, soothes and helps reduce the appearance of lines. My skin looks radiant and my pores look smaller. Anyone can use this product including men and women. La mer also has 4 additional textures including a soft lotion in a pump, perfect for travel! The original formula comes in a variety of sizes starting at $95.00-$2400.00.

TEXTURE- Butter smooth with Satin finish. Must be warmed up before application. Beautiful white color with a cream smell.

CHANEL Sublimage La Creme

Launched in 2006, this luxurious cream targets all signs of aging while delivering immediate results. Sublimage plumps dense skin, evens skin tone, improves elasticity and delivers moisture immediately. This franchise has a variety of products including eye creams, serums, masks and foundations. I switch my face creams up during the year and this is my top fave.

TEXTURE- Velvet and creamy, beautiful golden color and fast absorption.

Guerlain Orchidee Imperiale Anti-Aging Cream

Another splurge-worthy luxury face cream is by Guerlain, a name of true luxury, and this face cream exceeds the luxury experience. Orchidee targets line and wrinkles with their patented ” Cell Respiration Technology” which helps promote cell regeneration. Your skin looks radiant. youthful and hydrated with daily application, making it your must-have accessory for the day. All their products have a luxurious fragrance giving the skincare application a pleasant one. Orchid comes in 5 different textures perfect for anyone. They also have a fluid great for men or travel, comes in a nice spill-proof pump.

TEXTURE- Smooth and light-weight depending on formula chosen. Pure white cream tone

My Skincare quench cocktail

Before I apply these luxurious creams, prepping you skin with my go-to hydrating cocktail will help absorb your moisturizer better. Kate Somerville Dermalquench has been my skin hydrating hero product for years. I use it after toner spraying it in upward motions. It delivers 130% quick hydration and plumps my skin instantly. You can also use it under your eye area with your eye cream. Another skin quenching product I use is Trish McEvoy Beauty Booster Oil. It is a light weight non-greasy oil that dries quickly and leaves your skins feeling hydrated and fresh. I also apply a few drops in my foundation for a sheer look. This is my go-to product when traveling as it’s a multi-tasker.

I hope my post on luxury face creams peak your interest where you might try them for yourself. If you’d like a sample of any of these, please let me know and I can send them out to you.
Thanks for reading my blog, xo, Ang

I’m so excited to share my lip filler experience I’m so excited to share my lip filler experience done at @ovmeofficial  by @injector_lynn_pa . 

These past few years I’ve noticed decrease in volume with my lips and the shape changing. Lynn, as you can see put me at ease abd explained the process in detail. 
She used a BD Syringe with Juvederm where I had no bruising or swelling. 
Before the injection, lynn applied a numbing cream so I was comfortable. 

Lynn knew exactly where to add filler and made my pout perfect, she is a genius! 

You can make an appointment with Lynn Testauiti at @ovmeofficial  Bryn Mawr

I haven’t worn a hat so much as much as this one from @costco , under 20.00 and best money spent. You’ll notice in a lot of my photos of me wearing it. Like most, sun protection is something that I took for granted. Now I’m taking care of my skin more than ever by wearing a high SPF and incorporating higher vitamin C serums.
