I had been eyeing the Omoravicza night cream for more than a year now but its steep price always acted as a deterrent. However last month I finally made the commitment and bought the cream. I am saving it for the winter days though so can't report on its performance. But what I can do is give you the low down on the treat of buying the brand from Liberty. Unlike Harrods, which I do love, Liberty has a more pared down version of luxury which lacks the OTT glitz of Harrods.And I find the service in Liberty more personal. Case in point Bouchana, the SA for Omoravicza at Liberty. After cutting the ice with a long chat about Illamasqa pigments, hair cuts and bad London weather, she gave me an excellent deal: a one hour facial in the Queen Mary's room and the booking fee redeemable against purchase. There was a last minute cancellation and if I wanted it, the spot was mine. After five minutes of dithering I took the deal and hands down had the best massage of my life.
The complimentary facial does not include extraction which was okay for me because my skin was pretty clear at that time. What I was looking for was a bit of relaxation after a long day of strolling around V&A. And Dominica, my facialist has the bloody best hands in the business. After I got wrapped up in towels and lay down on the heated bed with a hot water cushion for my acing shoulders, she cleansed, toned and massaged my face with what I can only describe as pianotage, tapping of fingers around the face along with lymphatic drainage movements. An hour later I was literally glowing, sort of a combination of a good nap and an intense orgasm if it makes sense. If you are ever thinking of investing in a luxury brand, try booking a session at the Queen Mary's room first. Seriously its worth it.
