Laudun Cosmetiques - Mitsy Day/Night Moisturizer

A little while ago I was introduced to Cosmetiques Laudun at the NoVA Fashion Week Luxe Lifestyle Event.  It was great to try out a high end organic skin care line.  My skin can be very sensitive. It was great to see that there is a luxury skin car line that isn't loaded with perfumes and unnecessary ingredients. The folks at Cosmetiques Laudun offered to send me a product sample to try.  They surprised me by sending a jar of their Misty Day/Night Moisturizer Cream.



The packaging was beautiful but I've seen lots of beautiful packaging and the proof would be in the creme.  I decided to try the product for a few days and nights to see how I liked it before giving you all my thoughts. The first thing I noticed when I opened the jar was the natural smell of the creme.  It had a light scent that reminded me of herbs instead of perfume.  The creme was extremely rich.  This first night I used it, I made the mistake of using way too much.  The tiniest bit goes a very long way.  When I woke up the next morning my face felt smooth and soft but a bit tacky.  I tried it under my make-up but my skin tends to be very oily in the summer. For me, it was a bit too rich for day during the hot summer.



On the second night I scaled back the amount I used, based on advice from the ladies at Cosmetiques Laudun.  I was thrilled with how soft and silky my skin felt in the morning.  I moisturize my neck and decollete every night and loved how little I needed to use.  We have a backyard pool  I spend lots of time swimming and the chlorine wreaks havoc on my skin and dries it out.  I've started using the creme after sun and pool time.  My skin is feeling less dry than it has in the past and not at all greasy. I've been using the creme once or twice a day. You can see in the photo above, how little I've used (a tiny bit goes so far). The price is a bit higher than I've ever paid for skin creme.  You all know I'm a firm believer in quality over quantity (as you've seen in the concealer I use).  The Mitsy creme as well as the other Cosmetiques Laudun product I tried at the NoVA Fashion Week Event, are definitely quality and would be worth the money.



As I mentioned my skin tends to be very sensitive.  I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have any irritation or breakouts. That usually happens when I start using something new.  I believe this is due to the organic ingredients and lack of perfumes.  If your skin is on the oily side this might not be the right moisturizer for you but you could contact Cosmetiques Laudun for recommendations.  I'm sure they'd be happy to help you.  If you're looking for a rich skin creme that is organic and high quality, I recommend Cosmetiques Laudun's Mitsy Day/Night Moisturizer. I'm a new fan.



Note: Cosmetiques Laudun provided me a jar of Mitsy Day/Night Moisturizer as a gift.  There was no expectation of a review.  The decision to share my experience and the opinions expressed here are truly my own.
