Advantages: no greasy residue, smells amazing, feels luxurious
Disadvantages: dispensing is messy

I was given a bottle of this oil for my 40th birthday. Given the price it will have to remain a special birthday treat and I don't think I will be buying a replacement when it is finished. It is great on your skin after the bath, really rubs in well with no greasy residue. I particularly like putting it on the my legs after shaving if they feel itchy as it is very sooting. My sister got into when she was pregnant to help prevent strech marks. She ...
...genetic I don't know. It smells absolutely gorgeous, a sort of minty, lemony, herby (no not like a roast chicken) rather than the usual cosmetic floral scent. I don't like to way it dispenses, though. The opening is about 4mm across and you simply pour the oil into your hands. I set a towel on the bed and nestle the open bottle in the folds to prevent is falling over while I quickly apply the oil before it all runs through my fingers. It's a bit ... Read review

Advantages: Leaves your hands lovely and smooth, thick and luxurious
Disadvantages: Packaging

I wasn't too sure about this handcream when I first tried it. It seems to be a lot thicker than most ordinary handcreams, and so it is harder to spread around you hands and takes longer to sink in. But after the first use, you'll never go back. You start to love the feel of it on your skin. I don't use any other handcream now- no other ones do the same for me, they just don't feel as luxurious as this. I would definately recommend people to try ... Read review

Advantages: the devine smell, 100% pure natural ingredients
Disadvantages: None that I can think of or have found

This Decleor Aromessence Essential Balm is really good. I first saw it advertised on QVC. They said to use it at night time as it helps to balance and purify the skin. Well I thought I need all the help I can get as my skin was dull and very dry. I shopped around on the internet and got the 30ml size for just over £25.00. You might think £25.00 for a pot of cream is expensive, but it isn't. You only need a tiny amount. When I received it in the ...
...opened it the smell is divine. The benefit of this balm is that it has no shelf life as it is all 100% pure and lasts a long time (that is of course providing IT ISN'T left in direct heat and or sunlight). You only need the smallest of amount. I use about the size of my little finger nail, walm it up in the tips of my fingers and put on my face, whilst inhaling the 100% pure natural ingredients....wow! When I woke up the following morning my skin ... Read review

Advantages: Soothes aching muscles.
Disadvantages: A bit expensive.

I was introduced to Elemis after receiving a free facial about 12 months ago. Well, it wasn`t exactly free, but I paid for it with Nectar points so it was as good as free. The products used were Elemis which suited my skin. After finding out how expensive Elemis skincare products are, I went for a splurge on Ebay and bought loads. I have since stopped using Elemis, they are very good, but I use other products that are good but a fraction of the price. ...
