Elements of my La Prairie Caviar Ritual. |
Happy first day of September, friends! How are you spending the holiday weekend? This post is dedicated to my updated La Prairie Caviar Ritual; the recent launch of the impressively effective *La Prairie Skin Caviar Absolute Filler (also available at Neiman Marcus) has slightly altered the order in which I apply the products and I am excited to detail how my skin has responded to this opulent formula!
Kindly scroll on for more details, swatches and images of La Prairie in action as well as my holiday weekend sales suggestions and the Bottom Line...
My La Prairie Caviar Skincare Ritual now involves four key steps (the first three, executed both day and night):
- *La Prairie Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion (also available at Neiman Marcus and reviewed HERE): Upon cleansing, a drop or two of this bouncy formula (which delightfully simultaneously feels like a liquid and a gel) delivers moisture while toning the skin, ultimately preparing it to more readily accept the benefits of the skincare to come.
- *La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift Serum (also available at Neiman Marcus and reviewed HERE): This serum nourishes the skin, encouraging skin cells to repair and rejuvenate; the results include firmer and more lifted looking skin with each application.
- *La Prairie Skin Caviar Absolute Filler (also available at Neiman Marcus): One pump (the packaging, by the way is extremely innovative) yields enough of this luxurious cream to cover my entire face; as soon as it's absorbed (which is in mere seconds, I might add), my canvas appears hydrated, bouncy, revived and positively glowing. The blurring effect this seems to have on my skin is remarkable; fine lines and even pores appear minimized and the effect lasts the entire day; consequently, I am over the moon for this latest addition to my routine.
Official details, courtesy of Neiman Marcus:
Infused with potent Caviar Absolute, this innovative addition to the Skin Caviar collection targets the loss of volume and substance in the skin. This daily moisturizer restores tone and density for enhanced skin fullness and refined contours. The skin is imbued with the harmony of youth.
Caviar Absolute, La Prairie's new caviar ingredient is used for the first time in Skin Caviar Absolute Filler. It is the result of an advanced technological process that captures the most elusive, volume-enhancing nutrients found in caviar—an innovative scientific breakthrough in state-of-the-art caviar science.
Immerse yourself in the Skin Caviar lifting and firming ritual by starting with Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion, followed by Skin Caviar Liquid Lift and Skin Caviar Eye Lift Cream. Complete with Skin Caviar Absolute Filler.

- *La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer and Foundation (also available at Neiman Marcus and reviewed HERE): Ever a foundationphile, this formula is consistently in my top five formula rotation as it offers buildable medium coverage and a gorgeous natural skin finish that delivers skincare benefits while perfecting one's canvas. It's so adored that I never ever travel without it...and, based on your comments and emails, a host of Beauty Professor readers feel the same way!

Upon cleansing, I apply a few drops of the La Prairie Skin Caviar Essence-in-Lotion, either with a cotton pad or my bare hands. It primes my skin and also adds a lovely wash of moisture. |

Then, I distribute a single pump of the *La Prairie Skin Caviar Liquid Lift Serum all over my face for firming and lifting benefits. |

Next, a signal pump of the *La Prairie Skin Caviar Absolute Filler is all that is necessary to plump fine lines and smooth my canvas for makeup application. After this step, my skin literally glows! |

Finally, I conclude my Caviar Ritual with the *La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer and Foundation. A nickel-sized amount imparts flawless medium coverage and the accompanying concealer instantly brightens the orbital area. |

The full look. |
In the look that follows, I followed my La Prairie Caviar skincare routine and then applied:
- *La Prairie Caviar Concealer and Foundation in Honey Beige (reviewed HERE and HERE) buffed into face with a Beauty Blender.
- By Terry Sun Designer #2 (reviewed HERE) as a bronzer on the hollows and perimeter of my face.
- *Gucci Blush in Soft Peach (reviewed HERE) on the apples of the cheeks
- *La Prairie Cellular Radiance Cream Blush in Peach Glow (reviewed HERE) on apples of cheeks blended towards temples.
- Tom Ford Soleil Sheer Highlighting Duo in Reflects Gilt (reviewed HERE) swept along the light points of my face for additional radiance.
- *By Terry Style Blackstar in Copper Crush (reviewed HERE) blended on my upper eye lids and along my lower lash line for a neutral wash of color. I forgot how much I adore this long lasting formula and effortless hue!
- *Gucci Smoky Impact Eyeliner in Iconic Black (reviewed HERE) swept along my lower waterline.
- *Tom Ford Fiber Brow Gel in Chestnut (reviewed HERE) brushed through my brows to add volume, hold and definition.
- *Clé de Peau Beauté Intensifying Liquid Eye Liner (reviewed HERE). I placed a line along my upper eyelid for additional impact.
- *It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara (reviewed HERE). Two coats for full and fluffy lashes!
- *La Prairie Cellular Luxe Lip Color in Rouge 30: This brand new lip color is a quintessential fall tone that can be applied sheerly (for a stain-like effect) or layered to full opacity for major impact. Although I am typically a nude lip lover, I find this deep rose tone is exceptionally wearable and know it will be on heavy rotation as the cooler months ensure.
- Ragdoll LA Camel Sweatshirt: This French terry number has classic appeal and a wildly comfortable fit that makes me want to put it on daily. In my experience, Ragdoll LA can do no wrong...in light of this sentiment, check out the new Ragdoll LA selection now at Nordstrom!
