Review – La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream (24 Hour Age Fighting Eye Care)

Published on September 19, 2009 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , .

Hello ladies ! Today I will review the Cellular Eye Contour Cream by La Prairie.  As you already may have read from the title this is a 24 hour age fighting eye cream, so don’t confuse this one with an anti-aging eye cream. If you are looking for an eye cream that will help you protect your eye area against the sign of aging you can try La Prairie Anti – Aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15.

LaPrairie Cellulart Eye Contour Cream Review La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream (24 Hour Age Fighting Eye Care)

I wanted to finish the sample before I could make a complete review about this cream. Yes, as you may see from the photos it’s a 3 ml sample that I got from Sephora together with the other two samples eye creams from La Prairie

  1. Age Management Eye Repair (read the complete review)
  2. Cellular Radiance Eye Cream – Restorative Eye Therapy

Being a 3 ml sample it last me about 2 weeks ( I apply it day and night) and I can’t complain cause it’s more than other samples usually last. We all have delicate skin around the eyes so we need to use an extremely light and gentle eye cream like this.

THE GOOD NEWS:

  • The first one is that it helped me maintain my skin moisture level and it also prevented lines from morning.
  • If you decide to use foundation, you should apply the Cellular Eye Contour Cream first on your eye area. I’ve tried this one morning and it came up as a great idea because this eye cream is also an ideal base for make-up. My skin felt hydrated and moisturized under the foundation and even after I removed my make-up.
  • If your skin eye area is usually dry the Cellular Eye Contour Cream will correct dryness and will also inhibits dehydration. With only one application in the morning you won’t have to worry about the dryness all day long.
  • After I first applied this cream my skin became softer and smoother. It has a creamy but light texture and you need only very little little amount of product to apply around your eye.
  • You can start using this cream at any age because it’s not an anti-aging or anti-wrinkle eye cream with strong effects on your skin.
  • I’m sure that the 15 ml jar will last you a few good months, but is better first to ask for a tester in Sephora and try to see the effects on your skin before you decide to buy it.
  • It also improves the appearance by firming and minimizing fine lines, guarding against puffiness (but once they start appearing you need a stronger cream). Continue reading ‘Review – La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream (24 Hour Age Fighting Eye Care)’

Review – La Prairie Age Management Eye Repair

Published on September 16, 2009 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Hello ladies, as you may know by know, I’m a fan of La Prairie products and today I will  review The Age Management Eye Repair cream. In the last couple of months I’ve been testing three eye-creams from La Prairie

  1. Age Management Eye Repair
  2. Cellular Radiance Eye Cream – Restorative Eye Therapy
  3. Cellular Eye Contour Cream – 24 Hour Age Fighting Eye Care

they are all great products with visible effects within days. I hope that in the next few days I will review the other two creams and tell you my impressions about their wonderful effects.

LaPrairie Age Management Eye Repair Review La Prairie Age Management Eye Repair

Now, let’s talk about our first cream La Prairie Age Management Eye Repair that I’ve been using for more than 2 weeks. About 2 months ago when I stopped by Sephora to check out the prices on La Prairie products – because my Prairie anti-aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15 was coming to an end – I was engaged in a conversation by the Sephora seller that asked me if she can help me in some way. She wanted to know if I’m familiar with La Prairie products and after noticing that I’ve been using them for quite a while and I know very well what I’m looking for and I’m now interested in testing other creams she offered me 3 samples of those 3 creams that I’ve just told you about.

FIRST: THE GOOD NEWS

  • Being a sample of 2 ml I didn’t expect to last longer than a few days, but again this company surprised me in a pleasant way. This little sample last me about 2 and half weeks, and trust me I’ve been using it 2 times a day (morning and evening). So, first of all I know that La Prairie has some high prices but they are explained. Their products last much longer than others, you only need to apply a very small amount of product and you will see it’s ok. When you are using it for the first time, the pump should be depressed several time in order to be activated. Be careful not to press the pump to hard, but if you do it’s ok cause the amount of product will be enough for both eye’s areas, so you just make sure to divide that amount in two before applying it on your orbital bone. Anyway, for portion control you just have to depress the pump halfway.
  • The original tube has 15ml of product so I think it will be enough for about 5-6 months. I was previously using La Prairie Anti-Aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15, which is also a great eye cream (I’ve already bought it again) and has the same amount of 15 ml that last me about 6months.
  • The packaging. Usually companies don’t give to much importance to samples packaging, but as you can see from the photo the tube is very chic and classy. I also like that it’s transparent so I can see the amount of product that remains inside and I found very stylish its silver cap. The box is also silver but very shining, like all La Prairie products ( I had a hard time making photos because  the box it’s almost like a mirror and every object is reflected in it). Being so small it fits perfectly in any bag (especially the small ones) and you can take it with you anywhere. I think it’s also ideal to take it with you when you go to trips leaving your 15 ml eye cream at home (to bad I’ve already finished it ).

Review – La Prairie – anti-aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex-SPF15 (skincare program)

Published on August 4, 2009 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , .

In this hot summer day I just remembered about Christmas. I could trade almost anything now for a couple of hours in the Christmas Day. I have to admit that in the last few days temperatures reached +40 degrees Celsius and as much as I love sun, tanned skin, summer clothes and spirit of seaside vacations,  I’m not a fan of these high temperatures. But this is not the only reason why I want to turn back time.  The main reason is the gift received on Christmas Day (La Prairie – anti-aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15) which I just finished few days ago.

I received many great gifts among the years but this one is by far the most appreciated and useful one.  It came like a rescue for my eye’s skin area, because I was searching to replace my Clinique all about eyes soin total regard et contour which I was using for almost a year.  I was dreaming about La Prairie since autumn, after hearing and reading all the great results that other women experienced, but I never think of it as a Christmas present to me. I have to admit that its price is kind of expensive, around 100 Eur on EBay and even more in beauty shops, but trust me its completely justified.

Sensitive skin needs special care…advices, tips and recommendations

Published on July 30, 2009 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , .

Continuous rescue antioxidant moisturizer Clinique 122x150 Sensitive skin needs special care...advices, tips and recommendationsThe fact that your skin “objects” to some cosmetic products doesn’t have to affect your beauty ritual.  I have an oily and sensitive skin type in the same time. Since i was a teenager i had to deal with lots of problems concerning my skin and although i had a cleaning routine every day and night, my skin still had some problems. It’s true that you must give special attention to sensitive skin, but you can’t say that having a sensitive skin means extra efforts. We must avoid some ingredients and open our eyes to others  like Aloe Vera and  salicylic acid. I want to share with you, some of the products that i use daily and their effects over my skin and also recommend you new ones specially for sensitive skin.

Lots of women with sensitive skin have tried multiple methods, treatments and products that promise to respect the skin sensitivity and…nothing. First step is definitely, going to a specialist doctor, which will specify the exact problems of your skin and tell you what type of ritual you should apply to your skin, because not all the “maneuvers” are bearable.

My experience thought me that i must follow three important steps and everything will be simple. Continue reading ‘Sensitive skin needs special care…advices, tips and recommendations’

Beautiful just in a few stepts

  • Early in the morning, wash your face and wipe your skin with napkins or cotton pads.Flexilift foundation vichy 300x300 Beautiful just in a few stepts
  • Apply your eye cream. I recommend Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA contour for eyes.
  • You makeup base can be very well replaced by anti-aging cream Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA SPF 18.
  • Wait a few minutes -  you can concentrate on your body in this time, to apply a body milk – and then you can apply your foundation. In order that battle against wrinkles will be more efficient,  try a special anti-wrinkle foundation: Vichy Flexilift Teint, which standardized and gives luminosity to skin. I use this foundation everyday in nude shade cause im quite a bright skin type and i can say that’s working wonders for me. Fine lines are covered instantly and in the long way use they even disappear. I don’t even need to use illuminator anymore cause skin really has an healthy glow aspect.
  • Now, you need only mascara, a transparent gloss and a little bit of bronze powder in your cheeks! You will see how you’ll feel more beautiful.
