Maybe you’ve all noticed my interest on La Prairie’s products. I’ve been using some of their products for more than a year now and I’m more than happy with the results. Last year I even held a giveaway with my favorite La Prairie cream for eyes (review here) and I’ve tried to find out what you think about this brand and its products.
Many of you were thrilled about the ingredients and anti-aging effects that these product have but I know the main problem remains the price. I’ve done several reviews on anti-aging products but I’m telling you La Prairie is high class when it comes to keep your wrinkles away for a long time.
What many know about La Prairie are their high prices, but don’t be so quick judging because La Prairie is not only a luxury brand. It has always been the top anti-aging company in research and development and has a number of achievements in the beauty industry.
For the New Platinum Collection the Platinum Essence laboratory used the same innovative technology “3D Lifting network” and a breakthrough ingredient. What you can expect from this collection is a feeling of a real smooth skin. The formula with peptides will stimulate the collagen that will reduce wrinkles.
La Prairie launches a new package of 30 ml platinum cream that is included in this collection.
The New Platinum Collection – Performance Beyond Expectations
The rarest metal on earth is impervious to time…shouldn’t you be too? Platinum Rare offers performance beyond expectations and gives a look of soft splendour. The most precious metal on earth now empowers your most precious asset. Your skin.

The famous luxury Swiss brand La Prairie known by its anti-aging treatments has developed for this fall a trilogy of fragrances. After launching their Silver Rain perfume line a while ago, La Prairie is challenging our senses with Life Threads in Silver, Gold and Platinum.
The fragrance collection, composed by Constance Georges – Picot from Cosmo Fragrances, is available in the shops starting this October in 50ml bottles (125$) wrapped in shimmering thread tied to its name – Silver, Gold and Platinum.
I’m in love with La Prairie face and eye creams but I’ve never tried their perfumes. Few days ago I received a sample of Life Threads Silver and my sense were instantly excited. It was a fragrance totally new to my sense, with an incredible romantic and feminine touch, wrapped together into a floral scent. I can consider myself addicted to perfumes since I have a very big collection of fragrances, but this is one fragrance that definitely should not miss from my collection.

Thank you all, ladies for your comments and participation on my Giveaway. The winner is Kelly. Congrats and I wait your details on email.
Since I’ve start using La Prairie Anti-Aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15 ( last year in December) and I was so pleased with its amazing results I kept thinking it would be great to have also the face cream and complete the Cellular intervention cream pack.
I’m under 30 and I’m more than pleased with the way that my skin looks like, I don’t have wrinkles (only the expression ones), my is firm and healthy and I don’t see yet signs of aging that already appeared to some girls of my age. I can’t say that I using creams and moisturizers since 16 , I even remember my mother saying to me that I should start using some gentle face creams or lotions but I didn’t listen to her until 19-20 years. I didn’t even use makeup back then ( maybe only mascara and lipgloss) and I had a very simple cleansing routine. After my 20 years birthday I kind of start developing a complete cleansing and hydration routine to which I added new steps and products along the years.
So here I’m today with only a few years apart from being 30 and I decided is time to add another step into my skin treatment because I want to preserve this look, firmness and healthy skin as much as I can. About 2 months ago I ordered from Ebay the Anti-Aging Complex – A Cellular Intervention Cream ( 50 ml for 150 Eur) together with the Anti- Aging eye cream with SPF 15 ( I just love this cream and I will buy it again and again) and I’ve been using it for almost 2 weeks now.
It’s an easy anti-aging cream that can be used by women of all ages, you can start using it at 24 – 25 years. I think is perfect to use it as your first anti-aging cream, when you have fine lines and signs of aging are not yet visible on your face but you want to do delay the moment when they will be visible. Many girls think that on 25 is maybe to early to an anti-aging cream, but is not true. Specialists thought us that skin becomes to get older from 20 years but the signs could be visible after 30 if we are taking proper care of our skin, so depends on us if we are going to see the first wrinkles at 27 or at 33.

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

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.

The 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’

I know I haven’t been such a good girl this year but Santa still got me a Christmas gift, and I was quite surprised to see that was exactly what I desired but never dared to hope.
I received the Dermo Caviar skin cream from La Prairie. I’ve heard many good things about the products from this brand but I also know they are quite expensive. If it wasn’t for Santa I probably could never spent so much money on a cream. The gift was ordered from ebay so as you can see from the photos the box is not in so good shape but the content is intact. Along with the skin caviar cream I also received 60 dermo caviar applicators.
