Creme de la Merde!

Advantages: This 'designer' cream will turn your bathroom shelf into a shrine.
Disadvantages: Your bank manager will none too pleased.

...nothing but rave reviews about Creme de la Mer, an A-list moisturiser with an A-list price tag attached. Magazines are forever gushing about this product, associating words such as 'miracle' and 'extraordinary' to it so naturally curiosity got the better of me. Now although I can be somewhat of a beauty product victim and quite impulsive, even I know that forking out around eighty-eight quid for an itsy tub (30ml!) of this wonder is just plain ridiculous. ...
...just looked absolutely greasy - Creme de la Mer takes a while to be absorbed so prepare to apply it way before you plan to leave the house. Unimpressed, I slung the tub in my discarded beauty products draw until recently... ... a month ago, still wincing at the amount I has paid for a moisturiser that was just collecting dust, I decided to give it a second chance. I admit that I had been a tad impatient and hasty the first time round and that it ...

Good System for Renewing Tired Looking Skin

Advantages: It works, it is affordable, a little goes a long way, its powerful and effective
Disadvantages: It can sting a little if your skin is sensitive

I used Skin Doctors Potent C+ Renewal System for a period of eight months with some very good results indeed. The system itself is based on the latest scientific evidence into skin care and anti-ageing, and contains super duper doses of anti-ageing vitamin c and other effective anti-ageing agents. Firstly, you have four creams/serums that come with the pack.These are the Potent C+ Serum, the Nourishing Accelerator, the Day Cream and the Nourishing ...
...etc using a gentle cleanser. Skin Doctors probably have a cleanser in their range too if you wanted to stick to their product range, but I just used my usual cleansing lotion. 2. You pump out a small amoutn of the Vitamin C Serum into your palm - one to two pumps is plenty as a little goes a long way and this stuff is potent!! Smooth this over the face BUT do AVOID getting this near the eyes as it stings like hell and is quite strong. Wait a minute. ...

Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules

Advantages: A great "tonic" for the skin
Disadvantages: Can be pricey.

Elemis Skin Bliss Capsules - they were named well ! They are not cheap, but I try and buy a two week supply (14 capsules) twice a year to give myself a treat - I would do a months supply, but it depends upon your finances! The capsules come in a plastic Elemis tub and are coloured pink for day which has rose essence Moringa oil which jump starts the circulation and improve radiance, The green capsules for evening contains lavender and Morina to ...
...Once you break the top from the capsules and melt them within you hands the wonderful aromas envelop you - enjoy for a minute before you apply to the face and neck (avoiding the eye area). There is a measured dose in each capsule which is enough to treat the face and neck area. The capsules are used on cleansed skin prior to your regular treatments. As well as feeling luxurious, these capsules hydrate, smooth and replenish your skin, giving tired ...

Giving My Eye's Some Stick

Advantages: I didn't pay full price
Disadvantages: I actually paid for this

Having suffered from eczema over the years I have never had the best of skin conditions, so I am constantly being badgered by my girlfriend to keep my skin moisturised to prevent it from drying out too much. Since becoming a father I now really understand what sleep deprivation is, relaxing and sleeping are something that is now becoming a thing of the past for me, especially with the increasing amounts of energy that my children have got and my ...
...my skin and just lately has lead to the areas around my eyes starting to become a little worst for wears. Not only are they sunken with black rings around them, but the delicate skin around the eye area is becoming quite dry and sore due to my constant rubbing from tiredness. Although I’m not a vain man and I don’t have any real kind of skin care regime, I thought it was high time to do something about my poor little peepers. I work fairly close ...

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat For Men

Advantages: If enough is used, it can have some effect
Disadvantages: Does not do it's job as it has little impact. Not good value for money.

This product is advertised to be a lot better than what it actually is. There is barely enough in the little tube to last a month of average use. The colour of the product makes the product fairly detectable (it's advertised as "undetectable") The product is very expensive for what it is and I believe that it does not do it's job in being a minimalist high effect product as it is far from that. I used the product for about 3 weeks and saw no difference ...
...made it very noticable. The colour is not what I expected to be- it is a fairly basic orange colour. I am of average skin colour for a white male (slightly tanned) and after my excessive application in hopes of seeing a difference, it was far from discrete. The product is marketed as being able to hide signs of tiredness and fatigue but be warned that this is PURELY A MARKETING GIMMICK as it does not have any effect at all. It's only use would be ...
