I used to spend THOUSANDS of dollars on luxury skincare... Here's what I buy now.
La Mer$115- “The other cleanser that I love and use is the Energizing Gel Cleanser by La Mer. It's great”▶ 2:27
- “I used those rewards towards getting the La Mer cleanser twice. Not just once, twice”▶ 2:49
- “One bottle of the gel cleanser did last me a year, however, compared to the cream cleansers, which I do go through faster”▶ 3:08
- “I'm currently going through my second bottle of it, but after this I need to purchase another gel cleanser that is hopefully just even a little bit as good cuz yeah, it's kind of hard to beat”▶ 2:56
- “It includes my gateway drug into luxury skin care in the first place, which is P50 PIGM 400 by Biologique Recherche”
- “I used to use it every day, and I think that was a mistake. Now I use it maybe once or twice a week, and that's enough”▶ 3:59
- “I find it's just really effective at giving me that smooth canvas again”▶ 4:13
- “I keep running back to it with the tail between my legs”▶ 3:57
- “I purchased this facial massage glove from Biologique Recherche. It looks so goofy and ridiculous and gimmicky, and I honestly I didn't think it would actually do anything, but I was just desperate for something”▶ 1:33
- “And it's great”
- “It felt really nice to use, and I still continue to use it”
- “I used it for over a year, and my skin didn't feel textured or bumpy or anything, so I can attest to its effectiveness”
- “You don't have to repurchase it. One-time investment, and it doesn't cost hundreds of dollars or anything like that”▶ 1:39
- “I can gladly recommend the glove”
Sisley$245.00- “It's like a thin, milky, silky lotion that just makes your skin feel like you've had that extra gush of water”
- “For me, it wasn't enough to use on its own. It needed something else on top of it”▶ 2:42
- “I went through three bottles of that stuff before finally deciding to turn to something else”
- “Despite how they look very different, they feel very similar, and they are described similarly”▶ 7:07
- “It is much more affordably priced. I don't feel guilty whenever I use it, and my skin has really enjoyed it”▶ 7:37
- “If you have loved Sisley's essential skin care lotion and you're just looking for something more affordable that really compares in performance, I highly recommend that one”
iS Clinical$54.00Eclipse SPF 50+ PerfecTintshade · Beige- “It's a fully physical sunscreen, and I use the tinted beige version. 10 out of 10, no notes”▶ 8:07
- “I am very happy to continue repurchasing this, especially something as finicky as sunscreen”▶ 8:17
- “I have walked around so looking so stupidly glossy before wearing these stupid sunscreens that just didn't agree with my skin and be very frustrating. They would cause breakouts. Just no more. I am not risking trying another sunscreen again”▶ 8:24
- “I repurchase this about once every 5 months”▶ 8:39
- “sunscreen is not necessarily a vanity product. It's also a health product, you know, protecting your skin. So, for me that is more justifiable”▶ 8:43
- “It's a very luxurious balm and it's like a much more sophisticated version of the blue cocoon by May Lindstrom. That's how I can best describe it. Smells better, feels better, is more effective”▶ 10:31
- “It is truly one of the most luxurious things I've put on my face”▶ 10:45
- “I repurchased the small tube of it three times and I just after the last, I just couldn't stomach it anymore”▶ 10:49
- “At these prices, I just expect of some sort of spiritual clarity or something, but it just wasn't happening”▶ 10:59
HydroPeptide$58- “The Hydropeptide balm does have a different smell to it. It kind of threw me off at first. It has a sort of lemon tinge to it, but I've grown to really like it”▶ 11:14
- “The way it feels on my skin is amazing and it is way more affordable”▶ 11:25
- “I only need a fraction of it really make my skin feel just super hydrated at night. It sinks in well and the next morning I'm waking up with really supple skin”▶ 11:42
- “It's truly a delight to use and I have really grown to love those rich balmy textures”▶ 11:53
- “I have been using BioKiss by Biologique Recherche for years and I have tried really low-end, really high-end. Nothing compares to it”▶ 12:25
- “It kills me to come on here and say that I willingly paid $79 for a lip balm over and over”▶ 12:39
- “One tub of it lasts me about a year and I've calculated that's about 20 cents per night”▶ 12:45
- “BioKiss just sits at the top. It's annoying, but I really love using it every night”▶ 13:12
- “That is another product that I have repurchased again and again”▶ 13:20
- no stillSara Happ$26.95
- “I have also tried the Dream Sleep by Sara Happ and her Lip Slip and they do not compare. They more sit on the lips rather than sink into the lips”
- “I went through tubs of Crème de la Mer”▶ 9:37
- “Those products made my skin feel great, but it's just heartbreaking when you finish those products and you think, well, now what?”▶ 9:48
- “The Crème de la Mer. The Sisley Black Rose Oil. I had my fun, but I don't feel the need to experience it again”▶ 9:42
Sisley$198.00
Chantecaille$88.00- “Chantecaille Rosewater. I mean, do I even need to say? Like, what was I thinking?”▶ 13:47
Augustinus Bader$84.00- “Augustinus Bader Cleansing Balm. Nice, but ultimately quite average for what you get”▶ 13:50
- no stillMay Lindstrom$220
- “It's like a much more sophisticated version of the Blue Cocoon by May Lindstrom. That's how I can best describe it”
- no still
