sublimage by chanel
August 12, 2006after playing a good two hours at our local chanel, checking out purses and jackets on sale, our friendly SA handed each of us little goodie bags filled with their newest regenerating cream called sublimage. derived from the plant vanilla planifolia, found in madagascar and blooms only at a limited time of september to november each year, this fruit contains polyketones - which holds the secret to skin’s youthful appearance and vitality. the chanel laboratories have unravelled skillfully the powers of this plant and has evolved it’s extract to a powerful anti-aging cream.
we were each given a good-sized sample bottle which i already tried last night and i sincerely say, waking up with supple and taut skin is such a priceless (it was a free sample!) feeling. and the lotion scent is just divine. it smells like a light vanilla cream perfect for a fat-free vanilla cake. ha! now, if only i can get myself to buy the regular bottle at $ 350 a pop once the sample one is out. if it works miracles, maybe. just maybe.
available at your local chanel stores and at neiman marcus.
wow~~~ you must be such a VIP there to be given such a splendid sample. Enjoy!!
JES : i think our SA was tired of helping us and gave away free stuff so we can leave! LOL!

thanks for the review. is there anything comparable to this? btw, which bags were on sale? not the ones, i like, i’m sure.
SHOPDIARY : i normally just use kiehl’s moisturizer and i’ve read that oil of olay works too. it’s just a matter of finding what works for your personal skin, i guess. re : bags on sale - there’s an emerald green tweed bag and a couple of furry round bags that i’m not too crazy about even if it’s appropriate for the upcoming F/W season!

I hate that I am just allergic to everything but Obagi. But yippee for you and your soft, firm, fragrant skin!
SUSANNA : some friends swear by obagi. hey, if it works for you then that’s great! believe it or not - my cleansing process is good ole Proactiv (yes, the one on TV)!

thanks for your reply, paz. i’m happy with my skin care products right now but i have yet to use any regenerating creams. i’m not getting any younger and i know i’m going to need to use them sooner than later!

wow! that’s a lot of pop for a night cream! you’re right about finding what’s best for your skin type. i’ve been using jennifer flavin-stallone’s skin care line for 9 years now and it’s done wonders to my skin.
hey paz, congrats to that invitation! break a leg!
LYNN : i’m such a tv infomercial junkie - i tried sheer cover, proactiv, bare escentuals etc. hey, if it works - no more dept. stores cosmetics!

Do u like sheer cover or bare escentuals better?? which one works better?
JES : i like the sheer cover better. bare escentuals colors are just off on me. can’t seem to find the perfect shade plus i think it”s a bit more expensive.
