Introducing Luxury-to-Go, a new way to try before you buy Essential Complements Samples by La Prairie. Starting week of March 15th, 2010, at La Prairie counters nationwide.

La Prairie, the renowned Swiss beauty company best known for their cult-favorite Caviar and Platinum-infused anti-aging creams, will be doling out complimentary “essential” trial samples from a particular collection to clients who participate in an at-counter skincare consultation. The trial samples of assorted eye, serum and face products are signature La Prairie chic and luxury, meaning packaged in deluxe tubes and jars – no messy packets.

To experience La Prairie’s top-notch service and legendary skincare (and NEW “essential complements” samples), all you need to do is stop by for a consult at your local La Prairie counter at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue.

I’m already a huge fan the La Prairie Anti-Aging Longevity Serum and this is why I’m excited about La Prairie’s latest addition: White Caviar Illuminating Système.

About White Caviar Illuminating Système from La Prairie: Luxury Swiss beauty company La Prairie is dedicated to keeping skin as young looking as possible, as long as possible, and that means launching high-performance products to target lines, wrinkles and now, age spots.

Introducing White Caviar Illuminating Système from La Prairie, which includes:

White Caviar Illuminating Cream – $450
White Caviar Illuminating Serum – $450
White Caviar Illuminating Eye Serum – $250

This feast for your skin is an innovative three-part system that works to reveal a brighter, clearer complexion, free of future age spots and pigmentation patches. At the heart of White Caviar Illuminating Système is Golden Caviar, sourced from environmentally-regulated farmed sources, combined with clarifying Whitening Complex with Larch Tree Extract, detoxifying Swiss Garden Cress Sprout Extract, Vitamin C and various bio-technology. As a signature La Prairie touch, attention to detail applies not only to the formulas but also the packaging. To that end, White Caviar Illuminating Système is housed in substantial white pearlescent jars with La Prairie’s silver caviar beads around the cap.

This white hot system is a must for women of all ages who are looking to fight aging and skin discoloration. On-counters NOW, La Prairie White Caviar Illuminating Système is available at Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and www.laprairie.com .
