If your loved one has a soft spot for indulgent beauty brands, she will adore Crème de la Mer. This hydrating beauty cream, although developed in the USA, has acquired an iconic status in France. Elaborated with a secret combination of marine algae, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, the Miracle Broth™ undergoes 3 to 4 months of fermentation before exposure to light and sound waves. The Lime Tea cream adds the finishing touch, stimulating the skin’s natural cell renewal. For the sake of full disclosure, I was once lucky enough to receive Crème de la Mer as a gift and it definitely lived up to the hype.
Cost: 400€ (60ml)
