I am well travelled both with work and for fun, I love my cats and horses spending lots of time riding. Am married to a kiwi which makes it fun when we watch England vs the All Blacks at rugby!

I was lucky enough to be working in Canary Wharf, London where there is a special store - called the Company Store based in One Canada Square.
This store is only for employees working in Canary Wharf and you have to show your staff pass in order to be allowed to purchase anything but they have all the nice cosmetic brands at vastly reduced prices.
Anyway I digress, I was purchasing some Clinique supplies and unfortunately the store had run out of Dramatically Different Moisturising Cream for women. "Not to worry" the sales assistant said - buy the "M supplies for Men".
I said - surely it is different. But to my surprise she informed me that the male version is exactly the same as the ladies Dramatically Different cream. Oh, except for the fact that it is packaged in a masculine way and is normaly cheaper than the ladies version!
I took her at her word and purchased the M Supplies Cream for Dry skin. This is priced at between £12 - £20 per 100ml - look on Strawberrynet.com / cheapsmells.com for bargains.
I took it home and examined the ingrediants compared to my "dramatically different" cream - and it is exactly the same.
M supplies has the same yellow colour and light fragrence as the ladies version and is just as easy to rub into your skin.
I think that it is a cunning plan by Clinique - create a good moisturisor (dramatically different!) then repackage it for men and sell it a bit cheaper as women are always willing to spend more than men! I am sure that a lot of the other cosmetic companies do it too!
The main downside is that my husband keeps stealing it instead of buying his own - but you can't have everything!
