Hey, Big Spender We're all for a bargain, but the OMG effects of some of this year's luxurious skin care submissions had us ready to open our wallets -- no matter how steep the price tag. When Sisley Black Rose Precious Face Oil, $235, runs away with our Editors' Picks award for best face oil, you know it's not just good; it's spectacular. Testers gushed about the consistency and smell of the product but were even more impressed by how glowy and youthful their skin looked -- both immediately and after a few weeks of using it.

Similarly, La Prairie Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Eye Cream -- with an identical $235 price tag -- was a standout, taking home the top prize for an eye cream in our Editors' Picks category. The texture is a dream, and testers saw fine lines disappear in a few days.

There are many similar stories within our awards (like Clé de Peau's Intensive Brightening Mask, $150 for six, that made one editor literally exclaim "wow" when she looked in the mirror) because some beauty products are worth the investment. A new pair of shoes might last you a season or two, but compliments on your skin will boost your ego forever.
