What are they thinking? Don’t get me wrong, La Mer is a luxe brand. Super splurge, I never used it, so I don’t know if it’s any different from other cream or does amazing thing like anti-wrinkle or anti-aging. (which I think is quite impossible but using the term “reduced” would be better.) I think it must be doing more otherwise the price tag wouldn’t be sitting there.

Now the economy is at a bad time, can people afford this? All I know is that celebs are able to afford these sets for sure. The pictures are nice to look at though.

I think a lot of La Mer’s customer base can probably still afford these, or they’ll make necessary adjustments to do so anyway. Like if it really works for someone, even if it’s hard for them to afford it, they’ll probably skimp somewhere else, you know?

Yeah right. I would like to at least try the LaMer creme just to see if its magic or something. Gotta be with that price tag…and i’ve seen many beauty bloggers rave about it. Not in my price family though. Not even a distant cousin. LOL

I’ve heard talk about Le Mer, but it’s definitely well beyond my splurge point. LOL

I am curious to know though, if it actually does something amazing.. or if people think it does because of the exorbitant price tag.
