Face Creams & Treatments

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Advantages: Dramatically changes condition of cream, even after first use. Moisturises very well. Versatile.
Disadvantages: Sticky constituency. Reasonably high price, however definitely worth it!

This is a miracle in terms of beauty products, it is so versatile, i use it on my lips on my face as a face mask, and all over my body on areas of dry skin. Although it does not absorb into the skin particularly well this product will leave brilliant results, your skin is noticeably smoother and softer. The cream is a very sticky orange substance, which smells as good as it moisturises, it has a scent of spice as well as orange. I would highly recommend ...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Exactly what it says on the product

Advantages: Great product, gives you a great look, can be used as a light cream, face mask and a night cream.
Disadvantages: Expensive, rub too hard and you'll get rubbery fragments on your skin.

Although the product is pricey, it is totally worth it. Firstly prep your skin and make sure your face is squeaky clean and follow that on by squeezing a small amount of the flash balm onto the palm of your hand. Rub it gently between both hands until you have a smooth consistency and then firmly apply the cream to your face with pressure. DONT rub it otherwise you'll end up with rubbery fragments on your face. Just gently apply it equally to your ...
...on your skin. Not only will you feel fab and refreshed but honestly, you wont even need to apply any makeup onto your skin. This cream does wonders and its totally worth it...!! I personally would save it for special occasions or when you feel like you need an instant lift t your skin. It can also be used as a face mask..!! Simply apply a thick layer and leave it on your face for 5-10 minutes and then gently remove it with cold water. You'll see ...

Advantages: absorbs quickly, freshens the face
Disadvantages: glass bottle leads to waste

...repeatedly purchace, one is the boots no. 7 protect and perfect intense beauty serum and the other is the no. 7 protect and perfect body serum. from the first time i tried the beauty serum i was hooked. i like how it soaks in quickly and doesn't feel too greasy. i have also noticed that it seems to plump up fine lines. i don't know if it has taken acutally time off my face, but i do look a bit fresher when it is applied. i am gald that they have ...
...waste a lot of it in the glass bottle when it empties and you cannot get the remnants at the bottom or on the sides. now for the body serum! ok, this stuff i cannot live without. i have yet to find any type of lotion or body mosturizer that is better than this stuff without a costing a lot more. it isn't exactly cheap, but it is amazing! my skin has never been so soft! and it isn't greasy. it just makes the skin so soft and supple. the only bad thing ...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

To Oil, or not to Oil? That is the question

Advantages: Not a bad moisturiser
Disadvantages: Can be pricey and is NOT a miracle cure

This product was recommended to me by a friend who sees it as a miracle worker. I admit it was the first I had heard of it, but trusted her instincts and made my way to Boots. There on the shelf was a very small white box with orange writing on it and lo and behold it was trapped in one of those scary looking plastic contraptions that the sales girls can never seem to get open! This alarmed me because these plastic boxes are used as security devices ...
...price. The Bio Oil ‘claim’ I had a look at the description on the box, as well as the inside fact sheet and also had a look online. The key to this oil is the ingredient PurCelin Oil. This effectively has all the properties of oil, minus the grease factor which makes it skin friendly. Bio Oil is being advertised as having many uses and the uses are as follows:- Improves the appearance of scars Improves the appearance of stretch marks Improves ...

Review of Bio-Oil Face Cream

Made No Difference

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Ineffective, Requires long term application, leaves skin slimy

Having like so many others I bought this product after reading its fantastic claims and somewhat mixed reviews and all I can say is IT DONT WORK!!. Now let me tell you why, I have a small red mark on face (telangiectasis) and got this to help with it. I used it for 8 months (following the instructions) and after all the time it made absolutely no difference. So if you’re considering purchasing this take the manufactures claims with a pinch ...
...positive thing that can be said about it is that it you can use it as a moisturiser (although I found it somewhat slimy). As a final note: after further research it seems that there is no cream or product that has been proven to effectively remove unsightly veins etc.. and the only effective methods are laser surgery and the likes. ...
