La Mer moisturizing face cream

I so wanted to call this super-expensive, celebrity, cult favorite “La Merde”. 
(That’s French for “shit” and sadly one of the only words I remember after 4 yrs of high school French.)

According to La Mer, it contains a “highly potent Miracle Broth”™.  Yes, they actually trademarked the words “Miracle Both”. 

Given that and the fact that I paid $35 online for a sample so small it can’t be registered by the human eye from more than 3 ft away, I went into the whole thing a bit jaded.

The story of the Miracle Broth™:  Once upon a time an aerospace physicist had an experiment explode in his face, covering him with severe chemical burns. He spent the next 12 years of his life inventing Crème de la Mer.

I tried my wee sample one night and saw absolutely no difference in my skin. 
Woke up the next morning and decided to give it another try.  But this time I applied La Mer to only one side of my face and applied my regular stuff to the other side. (Please don’t have me committed.) 

When I looked in the mirror at work, the La Mer half of my face looked at least 6 years younger than the other half.  My complexion was more even-toned, smoother, and dare I say actually kind of porcelain-like.

Here I am wondering if I’m too old to be wearing pig tails?

That very day, two people commented that I “looked good”. Of course, what they meant to say was half of my face “looked good” but they probably didn’t think that was possible. 

I’m now a La Mer cult member. I won’t use anything else as a daytime face cream.

If you're interested in checking it out, don’t bother with the $35 sample. You can get a free sample at Saks.  Who knew?

I never thought I would spend this much ($220 for 2 oz.) for a face cream but as my friend Cheryl said “think of all the money you’ll save later on Botox injections”

The directions say to put a small amount on your fingertips and rub them together to activate the Miracle Broth.  Isn’t that the international hand gesture for “expensive”? 

Is that your own inside joke, La Mer? 

Bet you thought no one would ever figure that out.  What? 

You think I have way too much time on my hands and need my medication refilled?

I've gotten some emails asking where people can find the products I talk about in my posts. Feel free to use Google “search the web” box, to the right, to find out where you can find it (and for how much).
