Shahreen, good for you. Answer is not that much. bhaee hum mard kabhi itna khud par kharch nahi kartay.. I mean it's not like diamonds or something... it's friggin' creme for crying out loud.
Actually the exfoliator DOES have ground up diamonds in it.
Which is besides the point, right?
Oh what's the point?
The point is all girls should have rich husbands or win the multi-million dollar lottery.
Point is that there is a limit to spend on beautifying cremes and stuff for women if they don't work themselves and husband is the sole financial caretaker of the household. The creme da la or whatever its name is, crosses that limit.
Roman, you should just stick to Vicco Turmeric ayurvedic cream. But this time, use it for your face.
Where the money comes from to fund the purchase of said moisturiser is not the point.
I believe the original poster asked for recommendations for a face cream........not face cream according to marital and work status.
bhaee, according to my social interaction 101 manual, a discourse may branch off to various other related or non-related sub-topics given the audience and/or interested participants.
Please refer to page 410, paragraph 3, line 4.5.
Roman, as women, we have a god-given right to be vain. Don't ask me why. :p
Shahreen, can you suggest anything other than Creme De La Mer. We (or at least I) know you are the expert in looking good.
Creme De La Mer .... extremely tempting .... but I will feel incredible guilt if I spend that much on 1 oz. Although, I haven't written it off yet. Any other suggestions?
I've been told Classic Oil of Olay is good. I don't know though. I think I used to use that in the past and then switched over.

I am tempted Shahreen. It's probably worth it. The Bio oil sucked by the way. It gave me acne.

Yeah everyone was raving about it and didnt do crap for my skin :( I was starting to break out again (i have acne prone skin to begin with!) and i didnt want to start new acne while trying to get rid of older scars. So, yeah its sitting on my dresser now, all alone and lonely.
Well I think I've pretty much most moisturisers out there being the beauty product junkie that I am.
One's that I rate are:
Dr Hauschka Rose Day Cream - still use this alternated with CDLM the week before payday.
Dermalogica products
Nivea - can't remember whicj one though
Origins Never A Dull Moment
Neutrogena
Clarins Multibalancing Day Cream
La Prarie Skin Cavier - although it costs around the same as CDLM anyway
SK11
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream
Missed out loads but those are the ones I can remember right now.
Dermalogica is cool. Tried their Elixir? Does wonders
There is this new range called Matis. Its pretty cool.
Anchal aisay nahi, laga kar dikhao.
hatoo, har jagah na shuroo ho jaya karo.

Most likely he would not be able to be that way if she wasn't running the house.
Does she get paid for her job? Homemakers usually don't. Doesn't mean they don't deserve an equal share of the household income.
bhaee seedhi see baat hai, generally speaking a reasonable/good quality men's cologn, after-shave etc costs $55-65. Agar kamanay wala itnay kee cheez lay raha hai to what is the tuk of non-kamanay wali to spend $110 on a 1 oz creme? Yay baat bataiyay.
^ see that is the reason you look like the way you do and I look like the way I do. It is all about the deep cleansing rub from Zirh and the post shave moisturizer frm Kiehls and not to mention the clinque gentle cooling/puff removing eye balm for those hung over mornings. 
So I take it no1 here uses Astral cream, at #2.99 for 400 ml? :s
You guys seriosly don't know what you're missing :o
