La Prairie Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex – Review & Photos

Published on April 11, 2012 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: anti aging cream, chic review, eye cream, La Prairie.

Hello lovelies!

La Prairie is one of my top two favorite brands when it comes to skincare products. It’s a luxury brand and their products have amazingly high products especially in Europe but indeed they have great products that can deliver the exact promised results.

I used their products for almost 4 years and my skin feels spoiled everyday and it’s showing. Today I wanna talk to you about La Prairie Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex which I received it as a 5 ml /0.17 fl oz sample together with the purchase of my favorite La Prairie Anti-Aging Eye Cream SPF 15 (review & photos). Since the normal La Prairie eye cream contains 15 ml / 0.5 oz and lasts me about 6 months this sample was enough for testing and reviewing. I used it for a month before I postpone its application for testing another eye cream. It still has a good amount of product left inside.

La Prairie Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex (15 ml /0.5 oz for $135.00 even up to €150.00 in Europe) is a transparent gel rapidly absorbed into the skin. Is dedicated for sensitive skin and can be applied under the eyes, continuing over the eyelid delivering the effect of a mini eyelift.

Perfumes I’m Curently Using – Quick Review

Hello ladies!

How about a perfume article instead of a makeup one? Honestly, perfume is my first addiction followed by shoes, skincare products and makeup. I always loved to have a big perfume collection and trying new scents. I spent more on perfume rather than makeup.

I would really love to know if you are into fragrance more than into makeup and what kind of perfumes are your favorite.

Some perfumes I like to wear only in winter and other only during summer. I used to have many more before but I’m willing to upgrade my collection soon. My favorite perfumes are from Calvin Klein. I don’t recall a perfume by CK that I haven’t liked, I’m especially addicted to CK Euphoria fragrances, I had all the editions. Continue reading ‘Perfumes I’m Curently Using – Quick Review’

Face Care Products I’m Currently Using in Spring 2012 – Quick Review

Published on March 15, 2012 in Beauty. 4 Comments Tags: Amway, Balea, chic review, Clinique, eye cream, face cream, face lotion, facial mask, La Prairie, Lancaster, skincare collection, tonic lotion, Vichy, Yves Rocher.

Hello lovelies!

I’ve been thinking about posting this article for a long time now. I’ve been away from Chicprofile for the whole 2011 year and during this time I used a lot of face care products from different brands. Probably I will make another post with the face care products I used in the last 6 months but for now I just want to show you which are the ones I’m currently using.

Some of you know that I prefer high end brands when it comes to take care of my complexion and if you have been reading Chicprofile in the past you probably noticed that La Mer and La Prairie are my favorite cosmetic brands. I’m also loving Clinique, Lancaster, Shu Uemura and I don’t say no to drugstore brands, because in my opinion the best products for my skin doesn’t have to be the most pricy.

I would love to know what products are your currently using, especially if you have oily to combination and sensitive skin like me. I really like to hear what are your favorite face care products and how important is face care routine for you. Do you take more care of your skin rather then cover it with makeup all the time? Please share your thoughts with the rest of us.

For me, face care routine is very important and it has been very important for the last 12 years. I don’t wear makeup everyday, I give my skin time to breathe and I never go to sleep without cleansing my skin (even though I didn’t wear makeup that day) and applying my face and eye cream.

Here are the products I’m using everyday (some more than others) so I will give you my quick opinion about each and every one of them. If you want me to review any of these products separately please just let me know.

I have combination skin (oily in the T-zone) and also my complexion is very sensitive. The advantage of having combination or oily skin is that once you get older your wrinkles won’t be so visible like if you had dry skin. If when I was a teenager I had to fight all those pimples, breakouts and nasty red spots because of the oiliness of my skin, now at my age I can enjoy that my complexion is aging slower than the ones having dry skin.

Published on June 30, 2010 in Beauty. 4 Comments Tags: 2010 Fall Collection, La Prairie, makeup collection.

La Prairie is one of my favorite cosmetic brands as you probably know by now. I’ve used many of their face and eye creams and I’m devoted to this brand forever.

I can’t say I have tried their make-up products so far but I’m opened to any nice shades.

“From morning to midnight, La Prairie has your colour needs covered, with sensual shades for the eyes, cheeks and lips that conjure visions of Paris nightlife, off the beaten path cabarets and all that jazz. It’s about understated sexiness, in the form of berry and plum lips, warm cheeks and a sultry, smoky eye in unexpected colour combinations of blues and violets.

Says noted New York City makeup artist, founder of Cheek to Chic makeup consultancy and La Prairie Colour Ambassador Raychel Wade, “Fall is a time when women reach for rich makeup colours, and “Midnight Blues” delivers just that! Using deep blues and cool pinks is a great way to accentuate and enhance your natural look, and this colour palette provides endless possibilities to create just the right amount of drama, so people notice you and not just your makeup!”

“Our customers crave a bit of sensuality in colour, along with science in skincare, so we work tirelessly to deliver both. Our “Midnight Blues” collection weaves together a beautiful story of sultry nights that is sure to strike a chord with women,” says La Prairie President Lynne Florio.”

Their Midnight Blues makeup collection for fall 2010 will be available from August 2010 at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and www.laprairie.com.

Hello again my dears,

As I said in my “Chic returns from Vacation + Photos” post, while I was away traveling and relaxing I also had time to do some makeup shopping.

I decided to make a separate post and show you the products that I’ve bought (I’m sorry, I know the photo doesn’t show very well all the products). It was quite a shopping spree for me and I truly say this is the first time in my life when I go and buy so much makeup. I never had so many makeup products before ( I didn’t had Chicprofile also) since I’m not addictive to makeup and I like to keep all my products in a small makeup case ( I will probably make a photo later).

I usually don’t like to buy too much makeup because I don’t get to use all the products before they expire, but know since I have the blog things have changed because I also receive a lot of products for reviewing.

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.

La Prairie Platinum Collection La Prairie The Platinum Collection Photo, Prices and Information

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.

Published on October 28, 2009 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: 2009 Winter Collections, fragrance, fragrance notes, La Prairie, perfume, perfume collection.

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.

La Prairie Life Threads collection La Prairie Life Threads Silver, Gold & Platinum Perfume Collection Fall 2009

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.
