The Holy Grail
For YEARS I’ve read, watched, and heard about how AMAZING La Mer skincare is…
Literally as far back as I can remember paying attention to skincare (like in my 20’s, that’s about 20 years for those that don’t like math).
Annnddd, every time I saw the price, I thought to myself…
Maybe,
Someday.
But it’s definitely not happening now. It is SUPER expensive!
Nordstrom’s Interactive Moisturizer Guide
Nordstrom recently reached out and asked if I would like to team up to talk about their online, Moisturizer Guide.
I swear they have all these amazing resources that I still don’t know about, and I’m on the site practically every day.
You can find that Moisturizer Guide here.

It’s really neat! Basically, it’s a simple way to help you find the perfect skincare for YOU.
When I completed the guide, La Mer Mini Miracles Collection (pictured above), popped up.
Then it quickly hit me… If you don’t want to invest in the giant one, but are dying to try it, buy the sample size!
(By ‘quickly’ I mean 20 years. Why didn’t I think of this sooner??? ;).
So…that is exactly what I did. I bought the sample size set pictured above.

The set that I bought is limited edition and includes:
1) Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream (0.5 oz.):
This the most buzzed about and reviewed of the bunch

This is a silky, serum-like hydrator that moisturizes
3) The Eye Concentrate (0.1 oz.):
The eye cream has hematite, which is touted as a dark circle eraser

La Mer Moisturizing Cream
I’ve been using these legendary products for more than two weeks.
My first thought when using the La Mer cream was… why the heck is it SO thick??
I mean, this is the thickest cream I’ve ever tried. It makes it really difficult to apply all over.
I feel like I have to spend a good three to five minutes massaging it into my skin and neck…. with warm hands.
After a quick Google search I realize there is a ‘soft‘ version of the same lotion.
I ordered a sample size of that, and it is MUCH thinner and easier to apply!
My Skin Feels…
After the lotion quickly absorbs, my skin feels instantly tighter, and intensely hydrated!
I do kinda feel like a skin rockstar. Although I’m not certain if this is a placebo effect.
NO question my skin looks great, though.
Wrinkle Reducer?
Have I noticed a difference with fine lines?
It’s too early to tell, and I feel like those results would be so minimal (as with any skin cream) it would be hard to see.
(Like get out the microscope kinda thing)
But, in terms of redness, tone and texture… I’m REALLY happy!
$310 dollars worth of happy?
Probably not.
But, it IS a wonderful product.
Verdict for La Mer Moisturizing Cream: Try the ‘Soft‘ Cream Sample Size First Before Investing the Big Bucks
The Eye Cream
The eye cream is like… magic!
As I mentioned above it contains the mineral, hematite, which is supposed to help de-puff and color correct.
I love everything about this eye cream: how it glides on without effort, the feel, the smell, the way it makes my eyes look, how makeup layers over it.
VERDICT for The Eye Concentrate: It’s G-O-O-D … Good!
Great Gift
I’m guessing I’m not the only one who has been dying to try La Mer for years.
You can give the women in your life their ‘someday‘ with this much more affordable set.
