Skin Caviar Essence-In-Lotion – The New Form of Caviar
A New skincaviar scientific discovery.
For the first time, the most delicate components of caviar have been captured in this pure, powerful, highly concentrated infusion. The result is a new form of caviar.
Luxury skincare specialist La Prairie Switzerland is introducing a new skin caviar scientific discovery. The 2016 skin caviar indulgence is a pre-serum called Skin Caviar Essence-In-Lotion. Considered by La Prairie cosmetics as “the missing link in your skincare ritual,” the highly Concentrated Infusion prepares the skin to reap the benefits of serums and treatments to follow. This light yet potent formula contains Caviar Water, an extremely concentrated melange with active caviar-rich components.
The caviar water is derived from a newly perfected steam distillation process. An active fluide that is pure and crystal-clear. A formula that is gentle yet highly effective, extravagant yet essential.
After cleansing and toning, the new formula is preparing the skin and optimising absorption of the products with the first step of the daily beauty ritual.
“We recommend to apply Skin Caviar Essence-In-Lotion before Liquid Lift. It hydrates, smooths and firms your skin but also optimizes the absorption of the rest of your skin caviar regimen,” says La Prairie team.
Among the benefits of the La Prairie Skin Caviar Essence-In-Lotion are the look and feeling of an instant lift. It helps increase firmness and elasticity over timerefines skin and minimises appearance of pores. The essence-in-lotion hydrates and conditions the skin to accept the infusion of caviar and other nutritious ingredients.
La Prairie brand is owned by Beiersdorf AG, the German personal-care company based in Hamburg, manufacturing personal-care products and pressure-sensitive adhesives. Its brands include Elastoplast, Eucerin (makers of Aquaphor), Labello, La Prairie, Nivea and tesa.

Into the Void by Juliette has a gun
Juliette intrigues again the world. Armed with her perfume, the Shakespearean heroine goes wild.
Into the Void, the captivating new fragrance from Juliette Has a Gun niche perfume house, is a new definition of luxury, in its spicy and singular version. This woody oriental fragrance creates an alluring and irresistible aroma with an ultra-woody cocktail of guaiac wood, papyrus, cedar, ambroxan and patchouli. Partly eclipsed behind this devastating veil, the black orchid absolute is yet vital to the balance. The tonka bean and an infusion of liquorice are rounding out this intense olfactory experience available exclusively at Harrods.
Life is too short, and pleasures too many, says Juliette. The Gun, metaphor for the perfume, weapon of seduction, or simple accessory of bluff, essentially symbolizes the liberation of women towards men. And sometimes with a taste for revenge…
Created and designed by young Romano Ricci, Juliette has a gun is an independent brand launched in 2006. The niche perfumery brand’s philosophy is to approach perfumery as an art and to be present only through a limited distribution such as concept stores, department stores or specialized perfumeries. A collection of 10 original scents, a Universal Purse Spray in the shape of a bullet and a collection of
different candles are currently available, and other weapons of seduction are on their way.
Initiated to fashion by his great grandmother Nina and to perfumery by his grandfather Robert (creator of the famous « L’air du temps »), Romano Ricci has been surrounded by fashion and creation since childhood. Grateful to his family heritage, Romano Ricci also wanted to prove he could succeed by himself and express his own universe. He apprenticed in the perfumery world for 4 years, learning amongst the greatest, and then persuaded Francis Kurkdjian, the master of perfumery, to work with him. Then everything went along.
