La Mer The Powder Review
I posted that the La Mer powder is the best thing that has happened to me since their foundation. I am insane over this powder!
I am a loose powder junkie so I am generally hard to please when it comes to this type of product. This one made my heart sing and my feet dance. It is as light as whipped cream with a buttery texture. Sean from Saks made cavewoman and I dip our fingers in the jar. You could not feel the powder. It is that finely milled. It is said to be have been developed by NASA scientists but I can not get confirmation on this rumor. Dr Max Huber did work for NASA so it could be possible that he had friends do a side project. If they did...then make them do more. Screw the space program and start working on eyeshadows!
The description from Bergdorf Goodman:
The powder gives flawless coverage that manages to look fresh all day. No touch ups are needed. There is no caking effect or discoloration.
I am smitten like never before.
Disclosure: I purchased this powder from saks Fifth Avenue

You have me incredibly curious now. Going to have to find somewhere that sells this stuff and see if they will let me stick my fingers into the jar. Or at least shake a little into my palm!
:)
I LOVE powders too!
(and have way too many to name. How does another "the great powder hunt" sound?)
How much is the La Mer?
it sounds wonderful. just like the foundation. Do you think the powder is better than T. Leclerc? Just curious. xoxo
Mireille, this new La Mer loose powder is so much better and finer than LeClerc that you absolutely must go find some to try! Please do it!
Anon, I think the tub (it's huge!) was around $65.
AgingFab, you truly cannot feel the powder! Your finger will go to the bottom of the jar and you will not even realize you've touched powder at all!
I have to rave over this powder with Annie. I'm not a powder wearer because at my age, almost every powder I have tried has caked and looked dry and chalky on me and has accented lines and crepiness that I have on my face. Not this stuff. It's superb and worth the price.
AF: You will love it! I promise!
Anon: I also have a large loose powder collection. This one has kicked Chantecaille and others to the curb. It is the best I have ever tried. The price was $65 but the glass jar is huge. I use just a little and it lasts all day.
M: This I do not know. I do not own Leclerc. I will say that this is better than Chantecaille and many others.
V: Please try it and let us know what you think!
Love this site - love the writing, love the focus etc.
Now, Patti, without getting into specifics, how old is too old for powder?
Or, more precisely, where exactly on the face could the powder go that would accent things without drawing attention to the "crepier" parts?
ps. is this a valid question? I am so intrigued by the product.
Martha, I don't think that there is any specific age at which people can't wear this or that, but it is a matter of finding the products that look good and perform well, no matter what type of skin or skin issues there are. I am 55 (for the next few days, anyway)and my issues are mostly the same as any middle-aged woman. Most powders tend to accent my crepey cheeks, but the La Mer seemed to make the crepiness disappear. I find that matte powders look horrible on me, and so do matte shadows. I don't think there is any age at which any product shouldn't be used, it is just a matter of finding what works for you.
Patti, incredible as this may sound,I, too, am 55. (1951 was a good year!)
What works best for me, in fact, is something to highlight the cheekbones (the word in French is "les pommettes", which I love - little apples!)... not that I have or have ever had great ones, but that part of my face lights up well with the right product. So far so smooth - my skin is in pretty good shape, considering I am just about fully into menopause!
Thank you for the encouragement!
