Spa Sample Series : Lilyth Creme Absorption Age

I have not been using my "Spa Sample Series" in quite a long while. Probably because I felt that there was no need to torture myself, and to enjoy my "good skin days". However, I felt adventurous and recently decided to use the Lilyth "Creme Absorption Age". I have to admit - this is not quite as daring as me using the infamous "Le Masque Hazelia" stuff (you can search my blog for previous reviews, lol) as my friend who passed me the samples had told me that this was higher-end stuff.

I have to say - I don't know if it *really* is higher-end stuff or not - I really love it! The cream absorps easily into the skin and leaves no oily or heavy feeling on my skin. My skin felt instantly moisturised and softer. However, since this product is actually for ANTI-AGING, I really cannot tell. All I know is that the "ABSORPTION" bit really deserves the highest mention. It's as if I have NOTHING on my skin! I'm so used to creams that leave that greasy-ish feeling that this really felt like a miracle cream!

The sad part was - I was using this when I was staying at my friends house. When I came back to my own house, I couldn't find the sample packet anywhere, so I couldn't re-use this again. :( I asked her if the cream was in her house, but she too could not find it anywhere. At first, I doubted her. Maybe she found it and liked it so much she decided to keep it! However, around TWO weeks later, I found out it was actually in my bag! And yes, the cream squirted all out in my bag! Argh! My boyfriend would kill me if he knew (as he bought me the bag and frequently says that I do not take good care of it). T___T

Anyway, I Google-d up more information on it since I haven't seen this product on sale on shelves. Apparently, you can get it for USD116 from Cosme-de.com. The site also has the following to say:
