The Beauty Within

Part of the reason for me to work at Sephora as a part time job on top of my full time job was the perks.  They are not shy to tell applicants about “gratis”, which are free samples/full size products from different companies.  The sample size products are pretty darn generous.

My newest toy is Lancome’s Primordiale Skin Recharge Cream.  It’s an anti-aging cream that’s aimed toward the 35+ crowd, with a small 1.7 oz jar at $64.  My little sample jar is 0.5 oz, so I’m able to really try it out.

I normally shy away from creams because I find them too heavy for my face.  This cream however, seems to absorb into my skin within seconds, leaving my face feeling moisturized without the icky film feeling that creams tend to have.  As a matter of fact, this cream absorbs into my skin better than the oil-free moisturizer from Juice Beauty!  Perhaps it’s the extra dry weather, or perhaps it’s just a better formula for my skin, but whatever it is, it feels great!

There IS fragrance in this product, like many high end products tend to have (Lancome, Estee Lauder, Shiseido, etc).  It’s a bummer for those with extra sensitive skin.  However, I haven’t broken out in a rash yet and I have sensitive skin, so who knows, maybe the fragrance isn’t irritating!
