Face the new year and the upcoming bloom of spring with an extravagant skin cream. Decadent and luxurious, CHANEL raised the bar in skincare with the creation of SUBLIMAGE TEXTURE UNIVERSELLE Essential Regenerating Cream, the ultimate in anti-aging luxury. I received this over a month ago and didn't want to do my review without giving it the proper due diligence and length of time it deserves. After using it nightly (and sometimes daily under make up if the weather is warm) for over a month, I am in love. This is best for our beauty snobs in warmer climates or have oily/combination skin who don't want the weight of a heavy cream yet would like to have the anti-aging benefits of one.
What I love is the texture of this cream-- it is like light weight cashmere; whipped to perfection so you can massage into your skin without the cream feeling sticky. I am all about the facial massage! But the lightness ends at the texture, this is a super powerful hydrating cream that keeps my skin glowing all day long-- the perfect campanion to the SUBLIMAGE TEXTURE SUPREME which is for colder climates (or at night) so you can globe trot without missing a beat. It's a bit early in the year to declare my favorites but this will definitely be on my best of list. You must try this-- go to the Chanel counter and ask for a sample since it is a bit pricey. $375 at Chanel.com
j'adore Chanel!
can't wait to try this, loved the sublimage eye cream you recommended last year so i'm sure i'll love this. thanks tina!
speaking of favorites of the year will you be doing your favorite beauty product of 2008 like you did last year?
tina, this reminds me - i'm don't need anti-aging creams yet, but i liked what you said about this cream being light but really hydrating. i get clogged pores with anything too rich, but i hate when oil free moisturizers feel too thin, or like you need to reapply after an hour... do you have any recommendations? i'd appreciate something in the $$ range rather than $$$ ;)

you should try Natura Bisse "The Cure" cream. It's targeted for younger skin or for warmer weather. More lightweight than the Diamond cream but just as hydrating. I think it's around $175, $$ not $$$

thanks tina! i'll check it out :)
