Review: The 'Priceless' Expense of La Mer's 'The Powder'

Spending $65 on a face powder is a bit extreme, not going to lie here. I've always wanted to immerse myself into La Mer's skincare line, but realistically, it's never been an affordable budget option for me to spend on skincare, and when you see a beauty brand charging over $2,000 for a jar of face cream, it makes you take a step back a bit and reevaluate your beauty budget options a bit...

I decided to take the 'inexpensive' route of La Mer, (if thats even possible) and picked up their makeup face powder product, funnily enough named The Powder; thats a bit bold, calling your product THE powder...

Even though this is a full-on review of the product, this is definitely something you do not need in your makeup routines, this is more of a indulgent purchase for when you're feeling a bit on the spendy side and want to treat yourself with something nice; I won't go and tell you to run out and buy this now because its the best damn face powder on the planet, but, it is very nice and it is very luxurious, and with that, you'll subconsciously feel like a million bucks with this powder on your mug.

It so definitely is the most luxurious makeup product that I own. With its beautiful packaging, in a clear, almost-frosted like jar, with La Mer's white label plastered across this huge, .88oz plastic container, its a beautiful piece to display on your vanity or countertop, to just sit and stare in ah of its holier-than-thou aura; La Mer, for skincare, is luxury, no matter how you slice it. 

Its a transluscent finishing powder, that does, wait for it, have shimmer in it?! Um, what? Yeah, I was surprised myself upon trying this for the first time, no where does it mention in La Mer's description of the product that it shimmers; but don't run away from this powder just yet, because the shimmer is barely even noticeable on the skin. Honestly, it gives the skin this light, ethereal glow to it, so if you're having one of those 'no-makeup makeup' days, this can opt as your setting powder and slight highlight because of the subtle luminosity that it gives the skin.

You don't look like you just got bombed by a ballon full of glitter, it all looks natural, which may be why its called, The Powder. It's light, doesn't settle into fine lines, doesn't cake up or break apart by midday, its a powder with a conscious, it wants you to look 'flawless' from the moment you dust it on to before you wash the $65 of powder away at nights end. 

Again, its a luxury product, I can't stress this enough, but if you're in that mindset to spoil yourself rotten, and you're a lover of makeup or just beauty all around, treat yourself to this if you can't figure out whats worth to spend those extra pennies. You will feel more confident and beautiful, from the product itself or the brand that this product stems from; regardless, that can make an item like this seem more priceless than an overindulgent expense.

The Powder can be purchased on La Mer's online shoppe here, or any department store that sells the range.
