As I recently mentioned on this blog post, I have declared February as Beauty Product Review month as I have been receiving oodles and oodles of products and devices lately ~ EACH worthy of full review but none … and I mean NONE have I looked forward to as much as this one. You see, today I’m talking about Erno Laszlo who was, is and always will be part of my beauty care routine.
If you don’t know who Erno Laszlo was, he was a Hungarian-born American dermatologist and cosmetics businessman who ultimately founded The Ernő László Institute. His clients were the Who’s Who of New York, to include Jackie Onassis, and many of Hollywood’s Elite … such as Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, just to name a few. Watch this quick video to learn more.
Perhaps most importantly for me, though, was that at some point in my Mother’s life, she met Dr. Laszlo. Now I don’t know the circumstances on how they met, but what I DO know is that she knew the famous Double Cleanse technique … (oil to loosen and remove the grime from the day and a black Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar to stimulate and rejuvenate the face… lots of rinsing and splashing.) … a technique she then taught me as a young adult.
Erno Laszlo products were expensive for my mother, so over the years she made some modifications and the Laszlo oil became baby oil and the Laszlo soap became Yardley, but to me ANY product from Erno Laszlo was the “Gold Standard” and a product that I needed to strive to use on my face. These products were/are total skincare goals!
S0 ~ when The SkinStore (who offers over 8000 products across more than 300 brands including hair, cosmetics, electrical, fragrance and, of course, skincare!) reached out to me to see if I would like to try the new Erno Laszlo x SkinStore Limited Edition Beauty Box I was like “No need to ship this to me … I’m in route to pick it up!”
The Limited Edition box contains 6 hero products from Erno Laszlo (5 are full-size products) that have a value of over $282 for only $98! In order for me to properly experience these products, I decided to treat myself to a pamper day and checked into the Hotel Chaco … after all, my face deserved this.
I had fun unwrapping each goodie …
and really took the time to properly read the instructions, etc. for each product.
The box consists of a full-sized Hydra-Therapy Foaming Cleanser, a full-sized White Marble Radiance Emulsion, a full-sized Phelityl Night Cream, 6 Multi Task Eye Serum Masks, 1 White Marble Hydrogel Mask and 1 Sensitive Hydrogel Mask.
Let me start with the Hydra-Therapy Foaming Cleanser: a awesome, luxurious makeup remover that restores intense hydration and sweeps away dirt, impurities and product build-up. Start the day and end they day with this cleanser.
Next is the White Marble Radiance Emulsion: This serum is a Stem Cell Blend powerhouse derived from Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Leaf and Opuntia Ficus-Indica Leaf/Stem extracts. It works by invigorating skin’s internal cleansing mechanisms, increasing its cell turnover rate, and protecting against the unwanted build-up of old, damaged, oxidized proteins. It helps to clarify and brighten your skin.
I really needed this Phelityl Night Cream: a replenishing moisturizer that works with your skin during its nightly renewal process to promote plump, hydrated skin come morning. Lightweight and non-greasy, the night cream contains Dr. Laszlo’s unique moisturizing complex that delivers moisture into skin by matching the natural pH and replenishing fatty acids essential to its health. .
My favorite of ALL FAVORITES … I would now skip a meal to ensure that I always have these at my beck and call … are these Multi Task Eye Serum Masks: saturated eye masks infused with a cocktail of powerful ingredients to tackle signs of aging and fatigue around the delicate eye area. Targeting dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles.
They work, they work … they WORK. They are excellent!!!
And lastly, I thought I had to choose between the White Marble Hydrogel Mask (an innovative, brightening gel mask that promotes glowing, healthier-looking skin … this mask helps diminish the look of dark spots and other signs of aging.) and the Sensitive Hydrogel Mask (suitable for all skin types yet gentle enough for even the most sensitive, this lightweight face mask is enriched with botanical extracts and works to hydrate and rebalance your skin.) but I just used the other one the next day … WITH a eye serum mask underneath.
I then gave myself a big ‘ole Limited Edition Beauty Box hug.

I used to always use that black sea mud soap.
Before I became a menswear buyer, I started off in menswear working for I. Magnin. I always used my employee discount to purchase my Erno Laszlo and the black sea mud soap was my first EL purchase.
All that goodness for only $98?! I’m definitely going to get one! Thanks!!
It’s a good deal, Darlene!
