I’ve been reviewing La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Cream quite a lot lately. Well, when an anti-aging cream sells for up to $900 USD/$1125 CDN a jar … it’s worth talking about.

Another reason that compelled me to talk about La Prairie Caviar Skin Luxe Cream is the fact that Angelina Jolie (aka the sexiest actress alive (according to numerous publications) and Mrs. Brad Pitt) is a devotee of not only the cream, but she also likes to indulge in a £200-a-time treatment (a little shy of $450 US) extracted from the eggs of Baerii sturgeon.

If you’re more of a “serum-type” of woman as opposed to an anti-aging cream type, and if you’re not afraid of splurging on products, then you’ll love the list of most-expensive serums we’ve spotted at beauty counters.

Just in case you were wondering what the big difference is between the two types of skin care products, in general, serums are more potent and concentrated than creams.

If money is not an object or a deterrent in your beauty choices and purchases, this list will surely fit the bill.

It might seem surreal for some people to spend $100 on one single jar of anti-aging cream or serum, but for some people $100 is a real bargain. Others wouldn’t even consider putting anything on their face that wasn’t way north of $500.

If you fall in the first two categories, you might have to brace yourself because I’m so about to burst your beauty bubble.

How much are you willing to spend on an anti-aging cream or serum? Would you say $50, $100, $200 or $500?

How about US$900/C$1125?

Everything about this Swiss skin care brand screams luxury … even their prices.

Did you know that some orchids live up to 100 years? I’ll be honest, I didn’t know that either.

This seemingly delicate flower can withstand very harsh environmental conditions and still continue to “look pretty”. In the flower kingdom, only orchids have this property of longevity, growth and beauty. That’s exactly why the orchid is the symbol of eternal youth.

If you are not familiar with the Sisley Cosmetic Laboratories line of anti-aging and skin care products, then you might not fully understand why women are dishing out so much money for their gels, creams and serums.

A beauty and skincare Mecca like France produces what seems to be a zillion different beauty products every year, but the quality of a skin care product is very much determined by the concentration of active ingredients…and this comes at a price.

L’Or de Vie is a fairly expensive line. Like most expensive lines it’s always reassuring to know that the product can deliver results. When you’re spending $420 on 15 ml/0.5oz of liquid, you want to ensure that each drop holds up to your expectations. Independent dermatologists have tested L’Or de Vie and have scientifically measured the change in the skin’s appearance. The following results are found in L’Or de Vie marketing brochure:

Fifty-six women tried both L’Extrait and La Crème (twice a day) for 30 days and 95 per cent of them found the quality of their skin enhanced.

Dior’s new “Golden Skincare” line (L’Or de Vie translates to gold of life) was launched earlier this year. The reaction was immediate: stores on both sides of the Atlantic could barely keep the product in stock. With L’Or de Vie, Dior has taken anti-aging skin care to royal standards. The line is a partnership with Château d’Yquem (creators of the most mythical wine in the world) to create a wine-inspired line of pure luxury.
