Lush packaging, exotic ingredients, and unparalleled results are just a few reasons why expensive beauty items are worth their weight in gold. You won’t find these products at your local drugstore, but trust they’re worth every penny. Here, we have the InStyle beauty team’s favorite products to splurge on. 01 of 04 La Mer Crème De La Mer Moisturizing Crème courtesy Buy Now “Can you ever be too rich? La Mer is the most iconic of the luxury creams. When I wake up after slathering it on I just feel fresh, hydrated and I look wide awake. It is an investment, but trust me you only need a tiny bit to make a big difference.” –Selene Milano, Senior Beauty Editor 02 of 04 Krigler Chateau Krigler 12 Fragrance courtesy Buy Now “Fun fact: Grace Kelly used to wear this fragrance, so this floral number is one thing we had in common. The scent is basically the definition of elegance – the light mimosa and rose notes are most prominent on my skin, but the musk element prevents it from disappearing mid-day, and you get the faintest lily of the valley hints. It’s only available in New York City’s Plaza Hotel, where the scents are made in a massive laboratory located in the basement, and the fragrance house has a great deal of history behind it. I had the opportunity to meet with Ben Krigler, the great-grandson of founder Albert Krigler, a few years back, who told me that the number on the bottle indicated the year it was made. Chateau Krigler 12 was created back in 1912, but feels very current and doesn’t smell like anything you’d find stashed on your grandmother’s vanity – or maybe you would on my grandmother’s. Also, did I mention Grace Kelly used to wear this fragrance? She and I wear the same perfume; it’s really not a big deal.” –Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor 03 of 04 Cle De Peau Synactif Daytime Moisturizer SPF 19 courtesy Buy Now “I’m not sure if it’s the ergonomic bottle, silky-smooth texture, or subtle rose fragrance, but there’s something about this stuff that makes slapping on my morning skin care feel more like a DIY facial.” –Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor 04 of 04 Leonor Greyl Masque Quintessence courtesy Buy Now “I regularly heat-style my hair so my ends get pretty dry and fuzzy. Since my hair never feels as soft and smooth as it does after using this creamy, decadent mask, it’s well worth the sticker shock price. I also can’t get enough of its subtle banana scent.” –Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer
