Tested for you: Lifting serum “Skin Caviar Liquid Lift” by La Prairie

Written by Margit RĂŒdiger on . Posted in #me.

A lifting serum. What does this mean? It is clear that no cosmetic product comes close to a surgical facelift. But that’s not its job either. After all, cosmetics are cosmetics with a limited penetration depth into the skin. And a scalpel is a scalpel that gets to the root of the “evil”, i.e. the defect, in the depth of the skin. That’s already clear. Nevertheless, a high-quality lifting serum can make the skin firmer and tighter in the long term if used continuously. And “Skin Caviar Liquid Lift” from La Prairie plays another joker – namely a visible tightening effect in 15 minutes. This lifting serum has long been a beauty icon. Users of skincare from the Swiss luxury house will know this. However, the product has only just been reinterpreted. Transformative lifting serum Its two-phase formulation is enriched with a unique blend of La Prairie’s proven caviar extracts – Caviar Premier and Caviar Absolute – and the exclusive Cellular Complex. Golden caviar pearls can be seen in the window of the blue dispenser. By pressing the activator, these micro-nutrients melt into the emulsion and transform it into a silky-soft facial serum that is perfectly absorbed into the skin. When used daily, it reduces wrinkles and fine lines, firms the skin and improves facial contours, especially around the jawline. Exactly where sagging areas first appear. The ingredients The exclusive Cellular Complex pushes the cells to more energy to stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration processes and correct damage caused by skin ageing. Caviar Premier harnesses the potential of natural caviar and combines La Prairie’s own caviar extract with lipids, proteins and marine DNA. Together they promote the firming and tightening of the skin. Caviar Absolute is a highly concentrated form of caviar consisting of nutrient-rich caviar oils and restructuring caviar proteins. They plump up the skin and contribute to its firmness. The newly added Caviar Micro-Nutrients are a rich source of over 300 different natural nutrients. These stimulate the essential cellular energy pathways in the skin and its metabolism exactly where this kick is needed. Furthermore, the formulation is supplemented with peptides that stimulate collagen production. And hyaluronic acid locks moisture into the skin and strengthens the skin’s natural barrier. The application Important! Only press the activator on the top ring of the bottle when applying for the first time. This is how you release the formulation. The caviar pearls and the emulsion mix to form a silky-smooth serum.… weiterlesen

Tested for you: Needle-free skin rejuvenation “Platinum Rare Haute-Rejuvenation Mask” by La Prairie

Written by Margit RĂŒdiger on . Posted in #me.

Overnight skin rejuvenation without needles at the beauty doc. What woman over the age of a teenager wouldn’t want that? But boah – the price of the new anti-ageing mask for the night makes me gasp – well over 1000 euros. But
isn’t it Christmas again already!!! I try to mentally justify the high price for the new rejuvenation concept to myself. After all, when you buy it you get two-in-one, so to speak, two products from La Prairie’s exquisite Platinum Rare line: 12 vials with a highly effective concentrate and a rich, pink-colored mask in a jar that is applied like a night cream, without the hassle of washing it off or washing it off again. In a nutshell: the “Haute-Rejuvenation Mask” is the ultimate in luxury, containing a wealth of the latest high-tech beauty know-how. The design of the brand new member of the Platinum Rare family is ultra-stylish and cool. Even the unboxing of the typical silver-colored La Prairie box is an event in itself: two layers, each with six of the precious grey vials, embedded in a matching case with a ribbon for easy removal. The lower part of the box reveals a cream jar with a silver-colored lid, and the iconic diamond-shaped insert for the cream shimmers in light purple. There is also a small, compact silver spoon for removing the texture. Finally, a small, black-bound booklet explains how to use the needle-free skin rejuvenation treatment. Anti-ageing without needles Proven aesthetic medical treatments were the inspiration for the two-stage rejuvenation skin care, which makes it possible to completely avoid invasive treatment of the skin. It is based on the innovative Macro-Infusion technology. It is a special coating process that allows large molecules such as hyaluronic acid and collagen to pass through the skin barrier. Until now, this was only possible with the help of aesthetic procedures. In addition, there are key active ingredients that La Prairie has spent a long time researching, such as Platinum Multi-Peptides and the exclusive Cellular Complex. The aim of haute rejuvenation science is to achieve a rejuvenated appearance of the skin in the long term. Skin rejuvenation in two steps My skin is cleansed and so ready for a needle-free rejuvenation. A lengthy general anesthetic that I have just undergone has not only taken its toll on my body, but also on my complexion. It looks restless, tired, exhausted and dehydrated. The first step is called recharge: I unscrew the small cap of the gray vial and press the plunger on the other end to activate it.… weiterlesen

Written by Margit RĂŒdiger on . Posted in Culture.

Megan Marsanico-Byrne, Director Global PR von Nars Cosmetics Her temperament owes she her Italian, Irish and German roots. Megan was born in Denver, Colorado and lived in Toronto, Canada briefly before the family moved to Brooklyn, New York when she was three. She has been with cosmetics brand Nars for 2.5 years and in her current role as Director, Global Public Relations for over a year. That‘s why Megan nows the city better than her purse. No wonder in there is always at least one product of Nars. C&C: What is your favourite place for dining out? Megan Marsanico-Byrne: I’m currently loving Le CouCou. We celebrated my fiancé’s birthday there and it was absolutely divine. I highly recommend getting there early and having a drink at their bar, which feels more like someone’s chic living room. C&C: Where are served the best drinks? Megan Marsanico-Byrne:I used to spend a lot of time in Tribeca, and you can always get a great cocktail at Weather Up. I love the long copper bar. The views at Westlight at the William Vale hotel can’t be beat. C&C: Where do you like to go shopping? Megan Marsanico-Byrne: If high-end consignment is your thing, I highly recommend visiting Consignment Brooklyn  in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn or their pop-up store on Orchard Street. I’ve never left this place without finding something fabulous. I often check their Instagram (@consignmentbrooklyn) to see what new goodies they have in stock. If you’re in the market for bespoke garments, I love Michael Andrews. It’s technically for menswear, but they can really do anything. It’s tucked behind a gated alleyway in the middle of Great Jones Street. C&C: Where do you buy your cosmetics? Megan Marsanico-Byrne: Even before I worked at Nars, I loved the brand. I used to sneak into my sister’s room before high school to use her Nars eyeshadows. Visiting the boutique at the 413 Bleecker Street is a must. It’s in the heart of the West Village and is warm and welcoming not to mention the Artists are incredibly talented. I discovered my all-time favorite lip there which is Dragon Girl Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, but more recently I’m loving Annabella Audacious Lipstick. C&C: Which beauty addresses you can recommend otherwise? Megan Marsanico-Byrne: If you’re in the mood to splurge, I love La Prairie at The Ritz-Carlton Spa for a massage.  For facials, my go-to is Tami Lesser at Modrn Sanctuary.… weiterlesen
