Advantages: works, eventually
Disadvantages: price, and takes ages

...ciao member) that so praised StriVectin SD Eye Cream I felt I had to buy it as it sounded too good to be true. Unfortunately it was. The cream cost me around £30, although I saw it advertised for much more than this on other sites. It arrived promptly and is actually a rather small white tube, as you can see in the picture. Although the tube appears small I know from experience that it will actually last quite a while- and the instructions tell ...
...the eye I had used StriVectin on looked a little worse but I'm not sure. It also seems to make my eyes water a little bit when I first apply it, and smells very strongly. After the first week, I continued using the product because I had paid a lot of money for it and wanted it to work. I've been using it for at least 3 weeks now I have no results, I still have to wear make-up- foundation and concealer to leave the house and even then, I look tired. ... Read review

Advantages: Smooth hydrating, luxurious cream.
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to high street products

Chanel Precision Hydramax Moisture Boost Cream is a truly luxurious treat for your skin. I was lucky enough to be treated to this gorgeous product during a pre-christmas shopping trip, which made life a lot easier for my boyfriend as the product was recommended at the Chanel counter to us based upon my skin type. I would highly recommend anyone considering luxury skin products such as this to visit the actual in store counter to try before they shop ...
...and as it has the Chanel label there are seldom special offers in store but I see this product as an investment. Prior to buying this I tried several different combinations of products, which all add up. I estimate that this pot will last me around 3 months, so that equates rounghly to £10 a month. I could easily have spent this much on many different items which did not work for me. I guess it comes down to finding a product which works which you ... Read review

...have heard a lot about Ole Henriksen's products because they are always recommended in magazines and I have heard that celebrities use his products. So I was very pleased when I got presented with this truth serum for my birthday months ago. The first thing I recognised is the pakaging. It is clear, precise and simple. Inside the box serum is encased in a glass bottle with a dispenser, which is good because you do not have to guess how much of the ...
...live in London where there are many outlets selling Ole Henriksen (like me) then you can order from HQhair.com (where I bought mine) and depending on where you live, check your big department stores like Selfridges, Harvey Nichols. Many thanks for reading and let me know what you think.. ... Read review

Advantages: Gives an instant lift and deeply cleanses. Suits most skin types.
Disadvantages: Very expensive and not readily available

This isn't one of those you'd just buy on a whim. As £24 or so for a small jar of clay would seriously dent most beauty budgets. However, this little beauty does it's job so well that you don't need to use it half as often as your ordinary face masks, and there you go - it just lasts forever and ever. Unlike most ordinary clay masks, this one is quite thick and needs a firm finger dive into the pot. It's not runny at all, and you get to use every ...
...you know that you've just got your moneys worth). You just paste it all over your face quite sparingly and wait patiently for about twenty to thirty minutes. Its a great way to force yourself to relax if not anything else. The first time, it really tingles and you can feel it working. Your face is just screaming to be let free, but it's definitely worth the wait. You just rinse off with water and your face will feel firm, bright and brand new. I ... Read review

Advantages: It actually does what it says it does and doesn't cost the earth.
Disadvantages: You'll be going back and forth to Boots to stock up if they run out.

...looking for in my local Boots store. Just on a whim I spotted the fairly priced moisturiser while considering another more expesive leading brand. I decided to buy both the expensive alternative and the Boots brand just to try it as it was so cheap and I was suprised at how better it was. I loved how healthy my skin looked, it was soft, clear and the most balanced its been in years. It also helped reduce the visibility of the slight shadows I'd developed ... Read review
