Pricey Creams: Chanel Sublimage Texture Supreme Essential Regenerating Cream...

Okay....I have never been shy about admitting my lust for expensive skincare.  I do like a mix of high and low but sometimes to me the high is the only thing that does it.  Trust me in certain instances, you most definitely get what you pay for and this is one of those times.  Now Chanel Sublimage is an entire line, so there is an eye cream (which i adore...), a serum and the cream.

The first time I tried Chanel Sublimage Texture Supreme Essential Regenerating Cream, I was at Fashion Week in NY and I had pilfered a few samples from my friends at the Chanel counter at Bendels.  Well those samples with sparse dabs here and there, I was able to make those samples last 6 weeks.  Month one I started to notice a difference in my skin, it was looking more dewy and dare I say radiant. Week 3 I noticed that my skin was actually feeling firmer AND the small dry patches dissipated. By the end of 6 weeks, I was done and ready to sell my soul to the house of Chanel.

Bear in mind, this is a rich cream (described as cashmere-like texture), so if your skin is on the oily side I would try her lighter weight sister, Chanel Sublimage Texture Universelle Essential Regenerating Cream which will be on counters January 2009.

If you are on the fence, do what I did and go to EVERY Chanel counter you can and get a sample, stretch it out and see if you can make it last for 6-8 weeks.  Do your own comparison so you can decide if it's really somthing you want to do.  To me, skincare and how your skin looks is the most important thing (more important than makeup).  So I feel like whatever you buy, is an investment in how you look, I'm not saying you NEED to spend buckets of money to do that, but sometimes there is just no substitute.

Stay Pretty!!
