    The opulent skin care buys actually worth buying

    Shelling out serious coin to buy an opulent care product is a big deal. While most of my skin care routine consists of a carefully curated collection of drugstore buys, the allure of opulent skin care products gets me every time.

    But there’s a good reason why these opulent products cost a packet. Oozing with high-tech ingredients, they promise to transform your complexion to make it smoother, brighter and more radiant and even-toned.

    If you’re looking to upgrade your skin care routine by adding an opulent skin care buy, flick through our gallery of products.

    I just can't go past the el ANR range ! I love it all! From the face wash to the serum and eye cream and eye mask! It's all just beautiful on the skin.
    As a long time user haha that sounds bad.. I really start to underestimate what it has actually has done for my skin... Until you see photos from years apart and people do say nice things about my skin... And as someone with intense acne as a teen ... You would never know now:. No scars . Haha
    In saying that too I am always on the hunt for more to try! But I always come back to my true loves !
    Ps the juniper ended up smelling like egg whites. Sigh

    I've used the EA eye capsules and the Nutrimetics serum - both beautiful products. I have an EL mask which I'm looking forward to trying, and I'd love to try the La Mer and SK-11 products.
    BeautifulJusty 21 Feb 2018 8:45 AM
    Have tried a few, and the Nutrimetics face serum is great value. And so is the Elizabeth Arden product mentioned. Want to give the Jurlique product mentioned a try sometime.
    TheUglyDuckling 21 Feb 2018 7:17 AM
    I haven't used any of these. For me, it's Perricone MD: that's my luxury skincare brand. I've offloaded some money on that one for sure.
    AS 20 Feb 2018 6:12 PM
    I have used some of the La Mer products. I found the creme especially worthwhile when I had extreme sensitivity and dryness some time ago, and needed a really rich heavy healing moisturiser, especially around the eyes. The Concentrate is a unique product in my opinion, nothing better for soothing and comforting. Outstanding. I would use it again with my usual Kiehl's moisturiser, as an occasional treatment. It's important for me to have no perfume in skin care products, and La Mer achieves this also.
    Meedee 20 Feb 2018 2:11 PM
    I havent tried any of these products but I do have a few jurlique products that I plan on using as soon as im finished with all my natio products.
    skincare junkie 20 Feb 2018 9:18 AM
    Love the EA capsules. Brilliant stuff. Yet to try the EL mask but so far liking everything fron the ANR range . I havent heard of mitoq before!
    misfortune8 20 Feb 2018 4:07 AM
    I'd really like to try SK II - when I win lotto!
    skincare junkie 20 Feb 2018 9:12 AM
    Haha. If you chat to the sales at DJ they might give you some samples! I used to use their clear lotion, that is actually very good, despite most reviews saying it is useless.
    Isabelbolton 19 Feb 2018 3:37 PM
    I enjoyed using the nutrimetics platinum serum. I would love to try the lamer eye concentrate for dark circles. Would be interesting to see if it works for me.
    MoonlightSak16 19 Feb 2018 3:07 PM
    The EA eye capsules are definitely worth the splurge. I love indulging in them from time to time, really smoothens out my eye area and hydrates so well.
    Gilded 19 Feb 2018 2:47 PM
    I tried the EA eye capsules, EL mask and Nutrimetrics serum. Gorgeous packaging and products.
    freaky 18 Feb 2018 11:49 PM
    Havent tried any of these either. A few of these sound like great multi taskers
    lynx 18 Feb 2018 10:22 PM
    I've not tried any of these but by gosh I'd love to, especially the SK-ll.
    Elunia 18 Feb 2018 9:50 PM
    I have tried the Le Mer as I got a small jar as a prize a while ago. Though it was really nice it was not in my price tag to repurchase and even if I did have that much to spend I don't think that it was that fantastic to be worth that much more than other creams which are a fraction of the price.
    sparrow x 18 Feb 2018 7:54 PM
    I would love to try the Jurlique mask!
    BlueBite 18 Feb 2018 3:57 AM
    I'm very interested in those Elizabeth Arden capsules!
    Goddess..... 18 Feb 2018 12:43 AM
    I haven't tried any of these product's before & they all sound great but there's nothing here that stand's out for me to really try. These must be high end product's some ingredients in a few are different to other product's I like a bit of variety. The question is does skin care really stop the ageing process no matter what you spend? The answer is no it can be preventative but the end of the day you still get wrinkles.
    Sparkle 77 17 Feb 2018 11:22 PM
    ALPHA-H BEAUTY SLEEP POWER PEEL is a winner for me I can really see an improvement in the appearance of my skin in the morning.

    Trish_D 17 Feb 2018 9:43 PM
    I haven't tried any of these.
    cityglenda 17 Feb 2018 8:47 PM
    I have tried the Elizabeth Arden Advanced Ceramide Capsules and they are fabulous for rehydrating my skin during Winter. However the cost prevents me to using them full-time.
    Yohanna 17 Feb 2018 7:21 PM
    I have used 2 from this list ! Loving both =D (ELauder Mask and EA Caps!)♥ Repurchased the eye serum caps and having them in my stash for emergency cases (when I mess up the skin again with my experiments=D)
    RalucaP 17 Feb 2018 3:53 PM
    Luxurious products , I would love to try the eye capsule or serum , the aria around my eyes is my main concern now.
    MelissaFay89 17 Feb 2018 3:41 PM
    They sound great but my money goes elsewhere
    Bellefleur 17 Feb 2018 2:12 PM
    I've only used Elizabeth Arden's capsules out of this list, which I found to be very rich for my skin. Some very luxurious buys here.
    Lucrecia629 17 Feb 2018 12:50 PM
    I've used a few of these! My favourite luxe skincare buy is Sunday Riley's Juno facial oil. It makes my skin look amazing so I can justify the high price tag.
    Belindarella 17 Feb 2018 12:43 PM
    Wow! I've tried many of these!! Aren't I lucky!
    Rpear 17 Feb 2018 10:58 AM
    Love the Estée Lauder ! They are great!!
    Hmm I've been meaning to try the EA eye capsules!! Loved the ones for the face .. Has anyone tried they eye ones ? I must search reviews
    maggieball 17 Feb 2018 10:57 AM
    I’ve always wanted to try SK-II, but I’m not sure I’d be able to bring myself to spend so much on skincare.
    Hayley644 17 Feb 2018 9:20 AM
    Some very luxurious products who can afford the luxury of SK11 or La Mer though, wish I could.
    Ellyloves 17 Feb 2018 8:55 AM
    I've got one of those foil masks at home from the BH birthday party so I should try it really soon!
    Mayy 17 Feb 2018 8:29 AM
    I still haven't used my Nutrimetics Serum from the BH event. But after looking at this review, I think it's time I should start!
    bebeautiful34 17 Feb 2018 7:55 AM
    I've tried a few of these and while they were great, I'm not sure they were really worth it
    Miss19 16 Feb 2018 10:01 PM
    I would like to try the first one
    Eyeream 16 Feb 2018 9:49 PM
    Wish I could afford these
    jatz 16 Feb 2018 9:37 PM
    All those products look lovely. Being a user of some Elizabeth Arden products, I so wish I could afford the eye capsules. I am hoping in one of the GWP they might add some like they do with the face capsules that they put in sometimes.
    Thepinkshoe 16 Feb 2018 9:01 PM
    Even if buying in bulk I can't see myself spending $25 a week on a face mask. Let alone a $400 face cream :O
    clearcrystalwater 16 Feb 2018 8:44 PM
    I love the EL ANR and it's matching mask too. The EA eye caplets are great - I sampled two from the EA lady and found them really excellent and I loved the Nutrimetics serum that I used all up that I received at the 10th bh event last year. My skin loved that! Of course I'd love to try the La Mer some time in my future!!
    Dilettante 16 Feb 2018 7:47 PM
    I dream about one day getting some SK-II. One day...
    2663anne 16 Feb 2018 7:18 PM
    I’ve tried some of these with mixed results, and the others are on my Wishlist
    IndieAna 16 Feb 2018 7:12 PM
    I'll have one of each, thanks! Lol
    Beautybabe140194 16 Feb 2018 6:42 PM
    I have heard very good things of La Mer, a few work friends have recommended it.
    Princess Perfume 16 Feb 2018 5:19 PM
    I would love to try any of these luxe brands but sadly my budget doesn't extend that far
    duality 16 Feb 2018 4:53 PM
    I’ve tried and reviewed a few of these :)
    bh's Kristy Bradley 16 Feb 2018 4:56 PM
    which ones did you like the best?
    duality 20 Feb 2018 12:09 PM
    the EA capsules for sure, but the EL masks are quite lovely - I was really surprised as I hated their ANR serum and eye cream - but the masks are something else, great results!
    Chicklet 19 Feb 2018 10:29 PM
    Ooh... the masks are on my wish list. Sounds like I should take the plunge!
