La Mer

La Mer moisturizer is pretty expensive for most people and so I'm expecting that many of you are going to be looking forward to this review.

Go to any department store, and when you ask for a top-of-the-line moisturizer, they'll try to sell you on La Mer. There is just so much hype about this product. Jennifer Lopez uses it by the boatload and if it's good enough for her, well...
The great thing about the original Creme de la Mer is that it's good for every skin type. Even a combination-skinned gal like me can use it, and I know that people with very dry skin love it as well. It makes a great base for makeup and does moisturize all day. It's a great barrier for you skin and helps protect it against the elements.

I think that a jar of Creme de la Mer would make a great Mother's Day gift if you can afford it. It might be something your mother wants to try anyway, and it's a luxurious product both in feel and in touch.

I will also say that I couldn't get this to emulsify between my fingers, and like to apply it by dipping my makeup brush into the jar and then rubbing it on to my face. I know, I know, the people at La Mer would disapprove, but it works for me!
