la prairie special edition glossybox

I am an anti-aging skincare product junkie. So I was pretty flippen excited when Glossybox told me that I was chosen to receive the special edition La Prairie Glossybox before it was even released for purchase! If you aren’t familiar with La Prarie products, it is the stuff that dreams are made of. No really…these are products that are normally out of my price range so I could not unwrap my box quick enough. The box also included two BRAND NEW never before seen products…the Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil and the Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Cream. The full size of both of these products retail for $300/each so to be able to try before you buy is HUGE. The special edition box retails retailed for only $40! Unfortunately, this box sold out almost immediately but I’m hoping that since it was such a success, they will release more. A girl can dream, right? I am already obsessed with the Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex so we may have created a monster by allowing me to try these products. To learn more about the products, see below:

The box included a complete skincare regimen with generous sample sizes (prices below are for full-size products):

  • Foam Cleanser (1.7 oz $300): Deeply cleanse and hydrate your skin while delicately removing all traces of makeup and surface impurities with our sumptuous Foam Cleanser. Natural plant extracts are at the heart of the water-activated mousse formula’s purifying and soothing action, which leaves the skin refreshed and smoothed. Perfect for all skin types.
  • Cellular Refining Lotion (2.0 oz $95): Complete the cleansing process. Refresh your skin with Cellular Refining Lotion, an alcohol-free toner. It is formulated with gentle plant extracts for maximum hydration and to calm irritation. This rich lotion soothes and softens the skin, while flushing out the pores and helping to minimize their appearance.
  • Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex (0.5 oz $135): One drop is all it takes. Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex is like a mini eyelift. A lightweight, rapidly penetrating gel, it firms, nourishes and re-energizes the eye zone. Tone and texture improve. Fine lines and wrinkles fade away. The delicate skin around the eyes is hydrated and brightened, as signs of stress and fatigue melt away and imperfections are erased. Also acts as a primer so eye makeup stays on like a dream.
  • Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Dry Oil (1.7 oz $300): This sheer, weightless dry oil instantly becomes one with your skin. By helping support your skin’s natural lipid barrier function, a combination of rare and pure oils in the Swiss Ice Crystal Complex seals moisture within your skin longer than ever thought possible. Your skin will glow, and look smooth and reborn. La Prairie has harvested the power of three near-miraculous survivalist plants to create a regenerative breakthrough – the Swiss Ice Crystal Complex. It can help protect your skin from environmental assault and climate trauma. The secrets within these plants can give your skin power it needs to put aging on ice.
  • Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Cream (1.7 oz $300): This glistening, moisture-rich cream melts instantly into your skin, immediately helping to restore its youthful appearance. It works to fortify your skin’s resilience to life’s ever-increasing aging assaults. Biotechnology merges with nature as plant stem cells help renew the look of firmness and smooth the appearance of wrinkles. Luxurious hydration continuously drenches your skin from a water-reservoir deep within. La Prairie has harvested the power of three near-miraculous survivalist plants to create a regenerative breakthrough – the Swiss Ice Crystal Complex.
