La Prairie

I am devastated. I bought this two years ago at Nieman’s in Denver as a total splurge. Hands down the best foundation I had ever used. Glided on in a hydrating film with perfect coverage. My skin looked dewy, radiant and flawless (and believe me it isn’t)! And the true test of an amazing foundation, it just looked better and better as the day wore on. Flash forward two years and my Hubble gifted me a bottle for Valentines when he saw me scraping the bottom of my bottle. Oh. My. Gawd! What have they done to my beloved?!!!! The new bottle is at least two shades lighter and has a weird runny powdery texture. It’s HORRIBLE!!!!! It sets by itself drying down to a powdery, dull, drying finish. I’m wearing it now and my skin is looking worse by the minute getting that faintly itchy, dry, tight feeling. I ALWAYS set my foundations because I use dewy foundations and use different powders depending on the foundation and my skin that day. I wouldn’t DREAM of adding powder to this unless I wanted my skin to peel off. Why, why, WHY do cosmetic companies have to ruin perfection. Another one bites the dust........

I was sprayed by the La Prairie saleswoman when I was buying something else from her! I didn’t like it so I didn’t get it. 15 minutes later I sniffed my wrist and fell in love with it! Going back next Friday for 1 because it is my 68th birthday. P.S. After she sprayed me, she offered it to my husband and he ran! He doesn’t use any smellies which is great as we don’t clash!

It has soo much shimmer that makes it no longer an eye cream for morning and night. It makes the dark circles even uglier
