My mother in law said she would have identfied what La Mer depicted without reading the programme in advance.?

I argue with her that most listeners, even experts, generally could not correctly guess the composers programme for most tone poems, symphonies etc.





Have you ever played a piece for someone and they correctly guessed the programme? Eg-Play La Mer and they guessed that it depicts the Ocean?My mother in law said she would have identfied what La Mer depicted without reading the programme in advance.?
I don't think anyone could identify it either. If Debussy had claimed that it represented something entirely different I doubt that anyone would ever question it. My mother in law said she would have identfied what La Mer depicted without reading the programme in advance.?
La Mer and other tone poems have been so ripped off over the years, especially for film, and cartoons, that we have those visual associations with the COPIES -so when we hear the original, we go AHAH! Less-popular tone poems, or those with more arcane association, would of course be harder. But those gushing, flowing effects - pretty easy one. Think of Great Gate at Kiev - sounds like something bag, massive, formidable - power, army, stone - but that is another easy one.





Think Planets - then all the outer-space things that John Williams wrote. Or Copland - Appalachian Spring - and then all the Marlboro-man westerns and their music. It goes on and on . . .
Mother in laws are a world of their own. Mine guesses much worse than yours despite she lives averagely 6,000 miles off.


But your question is a can of worms: it's the basic point of program music. Rimski-Korsakov was climbing mirrors to deny he was programmatic when he wrote Sheherazade, as if he was ashame of that potent masterpiece: and, yes, my younger brother guessed that powerful theme was a ship at sea. I as a child took the omnipotent flow of Moldau for the description of heavy peasants' works. Our teacher was fighting hard with the two entwined themes of Borodin's Steppes. It's not always that easy.


Is program music music at all ? Would Bach accept all those storms Rossini, Verdi and the guys put in their operas ? And, as raindrops keep falling on our head, isn't there one thing called painting for that ?


One of my favorite painters, Lorenzo Lotto, XVI century, depicts St. Nick taken up to heaven while the sky is divided into a wonderful venetian blue and a stormy cloud pushed off by sea wind. That's descriptive. Or you prefer Toys Symphony ?
Just by the title, sure.

I'm 17 yrs old.. is it okay to use la mer products?

I'm a mother of 1 %26amp; I look much older than before. I have dark circles and wrinkles.. so should I start useing La mer skincare now?





tell me your experince if you used La Mer or any other skincare products you've used that worked wonders for you! Thanks alotttt!I'm 17 yrs old.. is it okay to use la mer products?
Well, yeah, it's supposed to be the best there is, but you seriously gotta be loaded to afford that stuff.


:)I'm 17 yrs old.. is it okay to use la mer products?
I've heard that the sooner isn't the better... I don't know. It seems that using it when you're this young wouldn't do anything (at least anything super noticable)
it is not that you are 17 year old or 25 year year old the only thing is that you need experience about it
the sooner the better !!!

Proper warming technique for Creme de la Mer application?

I did a lot of googling on the proper technique for using Creme de la Mer. Most people say to use a tiny amount (half a pea size) and rub vigorously between the hands for several seconds before dabbing on the face.





The problem is, when I rub for a few seconds, the cream disappears as it is sucked up my the skin in my hands. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to use massive amounts because it is so expensive, but I also don't want to apply it incorrectly and end up breaking out.





I was thinking about microwaving a spoonful in an empty lip balm tub and using that for a week so that I don't have to waste time in the morning.





Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has a youtube link with a visual tutorial, please share. Thanks a lot!Proper warming technique for Creme de la Mer application?
Do not put that product in a microwave, the radiation will turn the positive ions in the product negative and you will loose some of the effectiveness the product.





You can either make a double boiler to heat it. Using a metal ramekin a pea size drop of the cream in then float the ramekin in a glass bowl full of hot water. After about a minute it will heat the metal ramekin and the product. You can buy these ramekins at Ikea, and kitchen stores.





If your going to warm it in your hands only put it on your finger tips and backs. They are less absorbentant than the palms of your hands. Warm it up there and you won't loose much of the product.

Has anyone tried LA MER facial cream? Was it good,?

did you see any changes in your skin? What?Has anyone tried LA MER facial cream? Was it good,?
It's a great generic moisturizer but here is an industry tip a little goes a long way so buy the eye cream instead of the moisturizer. It's the same product and you will save 60 bucks. Then ask for samples of the face cream and you'll be set.





Cheers!

Translation of ';Face a la mer'; - Passi?

10 Points to the first complete French to English Translation





On ne choisit ni son origine, ni sa couleur de peau


Comme on r锚ve d'une vie de ch芒teau, quand on vit le ghetto


Na卯tre l'茅tau autour du cou comme Cosette pour Hugo


Etre en treillis dans le conflit et prier le Tr猫s Haut.


Fils du C.O.N.G.O. cette haine j'ai au

Sortir d'en bas, r锚ver de d茅chirer ce tableau


Fait d'armes, de larmes


Fait de sang et sanglots.

Face contre terre


J'aurais pu mourir


Je me rel猫ve


Je prends mon dernier r锚ve


Tous deux la m锚me dalle


Et tous deux d茅莽us


Je prends mon dernier r锚ve


La s猫cheresse sur une terre o霉 on ne cesse de semer


Tristesse dans des yeux qui ne peuvent pleurer


J'ai beaucoup de r锚ves lointains, je me suis tant rebell茅


J'ai bu beaucoup de baratin et 莽a m'a trop saoul茅.


Dans la vie y a les tapes au fond et les tapes 脿 c么t茅

Y a l'Etat, les R.M.istes, leTranslation of ';Face a la mer'; - Passi?
No one chooses where they're from, nor the colour of their skin,


As one dreams of a fancy life while they live in the ghetto,


Being born already trapped, as Cosette was to Hugo (form the book ';Les mis茅rables'; by Victor Hugo)


Being dressed with military trousers among the war, and preying for the Lord above.


Son of C.O.N.G.O, I have this hate at the M.I.C.R.Ophone, I know what the words mean,


Leaving the lower-class, dreaming about tearing this picture


made of tears, of weapons,


of blood and sobs.





In front of the sea,


I should have grown up


In front of the ground,


I could have died


I'm getting up,


I'm taking my ultimate dream.





Both the same hunger (slang)


and both disappointed


I'm taking my ultimate dream.





The drought on an earth where we never stop sowing on.


Sadness in eyes which can not cry


I have a lot of far-away dreams, and I rebelled so much


I drank so many lies and they got me drunk too much. (playword with ';drunk';, which is used to say that you drank too much alcohol as in English, or figurate, that you're fed up with something)


In life, there are the (i don't know what he means here, I don't understand this slang)


The ';do you have one euro?';, or the stolen in the street


There is the State, the RMIstes (the RMI is the money the State gives to people over 25 who don't have any other income, the RMIstes are the people who get it).Translation of ';Face a la mer'; - Passi?
It does not choose its origin, nor his skin color


As we dream of a life of the castle, when we saw the ghetto


Born the stranglehold around the neck as Cosette for Hugo


Being in fatigues in the conflict and request the Most High.


Son of C.O.N.G.O. I hate to


M.I.C.R.O. I have the weight of words


Exit from below, dreaming of tearing this table


Done in arms, tears


Made with blood and tears.


Facing the sea


I had to grow


Faced against land


I could die


I rise


I take my last dream


Both the same slab


And both disappointed


I take my last dream


The drought in a land where it continues to spread


Sadness in the eyes which can not cry


I feel very distant dreams, I am both rebelled


I drank a lot of bullshit and I too saoul茅.


In life there are basically tapes and tapes for later


';You do not have a euro?'; or tape the torn


Are the state, R.M.istes,


cheers

Creme del la mer question ?

Creme del la mer question?


Do you get more samples at the counter then online ? Online you only get one but at the counter do you get more ? or are they stingy with them . I currently use Lancome and they give me loads of samples .I travel a lot so love the samples for my bagCreme del la mer question ?
I worked in this industry for a long time and the beauty companies don't like the consultants to give samples unless the customer buys a product. Samples are actually expensive and not regarded as a gratuity. They are given as a way to create a sale to people that are serious buyers.


It depends on the consultant, some are naughty and give them out willy nilly others do not.Creme del la mer question ?
If you ask directly, I believe they should give you samples. Great products they have but not for everyone. I personally love the lip balm and cream.

Cream de la Mer?

where can i find wholesaler of de la Mer cream ?Cream de la Mer?
Online search.

In the movie Mr Bean's Holiday, who performs the version of La Mer that is played at the end?

Charles Trenet, I believe.

[ La Mer ] beauty product line?

';La Mer'; Does it help or fix skins appearance?





Do you yourself use it? And if you do, how long have you been using La Mer?





It was made to treat burns and now it is a miracle cream?








I am very interested in this brand. I am in my mid-20's.


I am looking for a face and eye cream to help me and keep me looking my best with years to come :)











Thank you so very much![ La Mer ] beauty product line?
La Mer is very expensive first off...something in the range of $400- $1500 for small amounts(eg; 3 - 8oz). It's supposedly good but I can almost gaurantee nothing probably beats a balanced diet, plenty water and moderate excersice through the years. :)

Is La Mer worth $125?

I'm thinking about buying it..Is La Mer worth $125?
It's worth every penny. I use the oil absorbing lotion, which is $185 for 1.7 ounces. I know that it sounds incredibly expensive, but you only have to use a very small amount and it makes your skin look amazing.Is La Mer worth $125?
i read it's $135.oo for the moisturizer and $100.00 for the cleanser. $135.00 for the 30.oz. for the face cream. but you can buy it cheaper on ebay.

La Mer Skin Crean?

Hey ladies! Has anyone used La Mer Skin Cream? If so, did it work for you? What benefits did you see/ not see? Is it worth the hype? Thanks!La Mer Skin Crean?
I've tried Lamer cream.


i can used it only at night as night cream coz it's texture is thick and rich when I'm in tropical country.


But when i was in south Africa and it was dry and cold during winter, it's really moisturizing.


sometimes also depending on ones skin type and the weather if the cream is suitable or too rich.

Which is the best brand, Philosophy, Origins or La Mer?

ty!Which is the best brand, Philosophy, Origins or La Mer?
That depends on the product you are looking for. All three companies have good products, it depends on which one you are looking for. Some of La Mer's products are really great. They use really quality raw materials (I am particularly attached to this brand as I used to be an R%26amp;D technician for a company who manufactures product for La Mer). I also like Origins for cosmetics and body care. They also have a great pimple spot treatment. I find they aren't always on top of the trends and latest treatments for skincare. Philosophy has great marketing for their products, fantastic packaging and a great lineup of items. Many people have had good luck with their line, especially Hope in A Jar. It depends on what your skin concerns are, aging? wrinkles? texture? blemishes? You need to research the various products and then try them. Ask for samples, don't feel bad about it. Trying a product once isn't enough, use it for two-three weeks and see if there are results. If not then take it back, you should see some results in that time period.Which is the best brand, Philosophy, Origins or La Mer?
Tamara, I'm not familiar w/the brands you mentioned; however, I love the aularale.com/7002. Theirs is for people w/sensitive skin and is light and gives a very natural, but enhanced look.

Has anyone used La Mer Skincare??

Is it really worth the price? Did anyone see a dramatic difference in skin?Has anyone used La Mer Skincare??
Its fantastic, but yes its expensive. I think Lancome do just as good a job though.Has anyone used La Mer Skincare??
I have used the La Mer original Creme De la Mer, The Oil control Creme De La Mer, The La Mer Serum, The La Mer Lip balm, the lamer gel cleanser, the lamer face scrub, la mer oil absorbing tonic (toner),the La mer hand treatment,and the La mer eye balm. I've also used the new La Mer Lifting face serum and lifting intensifier. So I've pretty much sampled the line. Here's what I've found.


This line isn't going to do much for you if you don't have lines. If you are young with already smooth skin then the cream and serum aren't really going to do more than moisturize your skin and make it soft. I will say it's phenomenol at healing chemical burns on the face or overexfoliation damage.





If you are over 30 you'll like this stuff. The creams I don't think are worth the cash unless you have a chemical burn or damage from over exfoliation. The serum is really great at smoothing fine lines and making your skin soft. The eye cream is the BEST eye cream I have ever used. If you use it with the serum not only will your lashes become less brittle and thicker but lines and puffiness around the eyes are leveled. LOVE THE EYE CREAM!





The scrub is very basic. It's not horribly expensive so if you must than try it but i found it rather abrasive. Diamond particles?? Diamonds can cut glass, do you really want to subject your delicate skin to that?





The cleanser was stinky and felt drying. Hated it. The toner was nothing special, don't bother.





The lip balm was really nice and had a nice minty flavor. It was one of my favorite lip balms. It did seem to smooth around my lips and moisturize really well.





The hand cream was really really nice. If you can find it on ebay for a discount price it's worth it. I loved it. My hands looked much better after using it.





The new lifting serum and intensifier are amazing! They are both truly worth the cash. You can buy sample sizes on ebay to try. If you are over 30 you'll love this stuff. It really lifts and tightens. My mother is in her mid-50's and has bags under her eyes. So far nothing gets rid of them until I gave her some of this. The bags were instantly gone. It was truly amazing! If you aren't in your 50's and you want some lift and line smoothing it's much cheaper to go with a line called Dermitage. Look them up on the internet. For 30 somethings their face cream is amazing. You still can't beat the la mer eye balm mixed with the serum though.





Overall, they are like all skincare lines. They have a few phenomenol items and a few that are just blah. They target a very specific skin type. I'd say for most of the line you have to be 30 with signs of aging showing or mid to late 40's and on to really enjoy this line. Although the eye cream, hand cream, and lip balm everyone can enjoy.
i have used la mer skin creme and honestly never felt the urge to buy more. i didn't see much of a difference at all. i did see dramatic changes with infinite aloe though! i have gone through dozens of jars of this stuff.
It made my skin a little better but nothing a good normal moisturizer can't do. I used it while I was able to get samples but I don't think the price is worth it at all.

Creme de la mer & Acne?

I recently obtained a jar of creme de la mer due to its ';magical'; qualities and ability to help ';heal'; acne. However after recently searching the net, i have read that it can actually clog pores. Is this ture? I am currently trying to heal my horrible acne breakout and am wondering does anyone here with (clear or acne prone) skin seen any benefits?Creme de la mer %26amp; Acne?
Yes, it can clog pores. And no, noone can guarantee a perfect result.


It does have a slightly higher ';cure'; rate than many other acne products, but there isn't a single product of any type anywhere in the world that can actually show a 100% success-rate of happy, cured customers, and none that can leave you a 100% guarantee of success. Sadly :/





But you should absolutely give it a try :)Creme de la mer %26amp; Acne?
it doesn't clog pores. la mer works very well!
Papaya has been used in Asia for centuries not only as an acne home remedy, but as a soft and sensuous exfoliant for the whole body. Log on to http://tipsfromruby-acne.blogspot.com/ for a few home made tips to heal acne .

Creme de la mer?

has anyone bought creme de la mer face creme and been dissapointed?.after all the hype i decided to treat myself to some and it is rubbish.honestly don't waste your money.i am sticking to johnson's baby lotion.it's only a couple of quid and is better that all these expensive creams you can buy now.Creme de la mer?
Johnson's baby lotion is fine if you're 6 months old, don't go for something the opposite end of the scale just because Creme De La Mer wasn't right for you. Get proper advice from a beauty therapist and invest in a basic skin care routine using products with decent anti-ageing ingredients, ie: collagen, elastin, DNA, hylaronic acid etc etc. As a salon owner CDLM isn't my choice either but if you get the right products for you then they do make a difference and help prevent further ageing.Creme de la mer?
Thankfully I was able to snag a LOT of samples before buying it and I agree. IT was just hype plugged by celebrities..
A friend gave me a sample of Creme De La Mer face creame and I have to say I would have been worried about putting it on my dogs face, its very thick and gloopy and not the sort of thing I would use, I prefer good old Nivea and lots of water to drink each day, without water in your system your skin becomes dehydrated and starts to sag, no amount of any face cream will work if you don't keep your skin hydrated, I'm 50 I have really good skin and haven't got a single wrinkle I am proud to say.
i havent tried it, but have heard that its more suitable for very dry skin as its apparantly a very rich, and heavy cream.id go for something containing peptides, the latest skincare ingrediant people are raving about.Olays Regenerist contains this, and is quite reasonably priced.
Thank you for your advice. I was going to try it but not now. I will stick to L'oreal, its so much cheaper.
Are you guys sure you rubbed the cream together between your fingers before applying it? It's absolutely vital for successful application.


Creme de la mer rocks!! There'll always be some skins that it maybe just won't work as well for but it's well worth the try because when it works, it really works!!
Absolutely. I recieved a sample and was surprised that it was just really really expensive gloop.





It didn't soak into my face, and sort of congealed with my concealer so I had to wipe it all off and start over. SO glad I didn't invest in a pot.





It's crazy what a fuss everyone makes over it. :P More like Creme de la Crap :)

Which is better? Valmont or La Mer cream?

Speaking as a makeup artist, they're both overpriced. Typically La Mer is for very dry skin as it is too rich for most people. The style magazines always seem to want to push these on the ';average'; woman - but what average woman can really afford a $125+ moisturizer? Better off to use trial and error to find the one that works best for your particular skin.Which is better? Valmont or La Mer cream?
