Impulse Buy of the Week - Erno Laszlo Blue Firmarine SPF 30

It should come as no surprise that one of the leaders in skincare, Erno Laszlo (with their amazing basic Active pHelityl skin care line), would create such a sumptuous skin care cream.

Erno Laszlo Laszlo Blue Firmarine SPF Firmarine SPF30 contains Spirulina Maxima, a sustainable, fresh water blue-green algae prized for it's health benefits. It protects skin, contains a host of vitamins to boost skin's immunity - and contains an SPF 30 to boot!

The cream is a lovely shade of powder baby blue, medium weight and creamy in consistency. I also loved the chunky modern blue Lucite jar that the cream is placed in!

Upon application, the cream took on more of a "aqueous" (water-like) feel and melted into my skin right away. Immediately I felt my skin soothed and hydrated, and on very cold days, this made a fantastic makeup primer as well. During the day my skin was smooth, firm and glowed. There was no greasy or heavy feel, or whitish cast on my skin - even though it contains an SPF of 30, which was impressive.

Like many of Laszlo's products, this is a luxury purchase, but for the quality of this cream, the sunscreen and the fact that it's quite concentrated, I would certainly say this is a skin care splurge that you will not regret. This cream is best for combination, dry and very dry skin. - RLB
