Creme de la mer face cream

Advantages: You see results quickly
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I had heard about crème de la mer in the press & looked at the price & thought how ridiculously overpriced. Even though I was intrigued I thought there's no way I can justify spending that much. However things were about to change - fast forward to 3 years later & I have had the worst skin problems with spots & scarring - they seemed never ending & I was beginning to get fed up of always having horrible skin. Then one day complaining to a friend she recommended using crème de la mer. She has been using it for about 5 years & has the most amazing skin - so off I went to Selfridges & got the 30ml pot - I thought I don't want to splash out too much so I thought I'll use this size to try it out. I've been using the creme morning & night on recommendation of my friend to get maximum benefits - this has worked very well for me. It also...

La mer works

Advantages: Balanced skin
Disadvantages: None

...First the details: I am 31yrs old, started using skincare products when I was 19.Have tried almost All the available brands on the market. My Skin: Is oily and prone to adult acne break outs. I am always trying to find the right cleanser and moisturiser combo, as I know oily skin is often made worse by not using the correct moisturizer. The beginning of this year my skin changed from all over oily, to extremely dry (and Flaky) spots and a Very oily T-Zone. My doctor said this could be because of the medications I started taking due to an illness. I was horrified, I am getting married in 4 weeks time and my skin was totally out of control! My wonderful mom and three amazing bridesmaids gave me the La mer foaming facewash, crème de la mer moisturizer as an early kitchen tea (hen party) gift 3 weeks ago. At first I was in a little...

Review of Creme de la Mer Creme de la Mer Face Cream

Creme de la Mer: thumbs down

Advantages: leaves skin moisturized for long
Disadvantages: overpriced, overrated,no SPF

...between fingertips before tapping it on the face,but my fingers absorbed most of the cream!Does it mean I will have wrinkle-free finger tips?? The Creme de la Mer, ladies and gentlemen, DOES NOT contain a SPF, which means that, although I spent a fortune for this cream, I have to spend even more for another cream with SPF (and would I apply it before or after the Creme de la Mer?).This is not acceptable, everyone knows about the risks of skin cancer and if I pay a fortune for a face cream then it has to be perfect. That was the bad news.The good news, however, is that excellent creams DO exist. Instead of wasting money on a product that is mainly famous because VIP use it ( sure...Victoria Beckham looks like that because she uses Creme de la Mer, not because she has Botox injections, and Restylane fillings...) you'd better off investing...

Creme de la Merde!

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

...I have read 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. So I sought to foreign lands, the U S of A to be precise, with hope that I could purchase the product for a fraction of the price - this was roughly about a year ago folks, before recession, when the value of the pound was almost two dollars, and so I managed to get hold of it at just over a hundred dollars with postage and packaging which luckily worked out no more than...

Not the Creme De La Creme

Advantages: It comes in a nice green box
Disadvantages: Didn't live up to the hype

...this would be the elusive cream that would melt away all my bad skin days and leave me waking up each morning with skin so beautiful and flawless I would look like Da Vinci had airbrushed me himself! I am so deluded, easily led and gullible, I know, but I fell for it hook, line and skincare... The packaging is definately not consistent with the price tag. Ok, the green bag and box it comes in are alright, and the actual pot is unusually heavy but the logo on the pot is so cheap looking, I told my husband it cost £4.99 from the chemist and he believed me! I should have spent £4.99 but on a pot of Nivea because Creme De La Mer is Nivea's more expensive snobby twin. The actual product itself sat on top of my skin for what felt like an eternity, I was too afraid to put it on just before getting into bed and wasting a fivers worth on my...

Invest In Your Future

Advantages: Perfect skin, what more can I say!
Disadvantages: Too heavy for day - I really struggled to think of a disadvantage!

...and sensitive skins will be soothed. Crème De La Mer's key ingredients are combined in what is called a Miracle Broth. This Miracle Broth is made up of sea kelp, magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium, lethecin, vitamins C, E and B12, and a combination of citrus, wheat germ, alfalfa and sunflower oils. These ingredients are great ingredients and are seen in many other skincare products. So what's so special about Crème De La Mer then, you ask? Well, to become Miracle Broth these ingredients are not merely mixed together and slung in a pot. No, no, no. Dr Huber used fermentation process that takes between three and four months to complete, during which the energies of the ingredients are released and come together to great the rich nutrient filled Miracle Broth and only then is it good enough for Crème De La Mer. Sea Kelp also has natural anti...

La Chope

Advantages: Great food, reasonable fixed price menu
Disadvantages: None

...On our recent trip to the Loire Valley Mr Tart and myself arrived in Tours quite late on our first night. We drove down to Tours from Paris. We were going to stop for something to eat on the way but in the end decided to make our way straight to Tours and get settled in the hotel and then find something close by. A couple of minutes from our hotel we came across this place and were really glad that we did. LOCATION: La Chope is located at 25 Avenue Grammont. Our hotel was on the same road so we just came across it. It is about a ten minute walk from Tours? old town. The restaurant doesn?t stand out and the sign is not particularly bright so make sure you look out for it. THE EXPERIENCE: La Chope (which apparently translates as the tankard) is actually a fish restaurant. I?m not really a fish person (ok, that...

Review of La Chope, Tours

Lunch on the Sea?

Advantages: Good menu; well-prepared food
Disadvantages: Decor and music are dated

...Much as we enjoy having lunch at Coco's in Marmion Road, Southsea, sometimes you feel like a change. My son had had dinner once recently with his partner's family at Sur La Mer in Palmerston Road, and they had liked it so much that they went back again soon after. When I lived in Havant I sometimes chatted to an elderly gentleman at the bus stop who went to have lunch there every Friday, so I wondered what all the fuss was about. This particular Saturday I had suggested going to the Slug and Lettuce, but it was absolutely packed out at about 1.30pm, so it seemed to make sense to try Sur La Mer, just across the road. The name means 'On the Sea', but they are cheating a little here as it is actually about half a mile from the beach. On entering we found that there was a choice of seating: either the booths alongside the bar...

Review of Sur La Mer Restaurant, Southsea

Not worth it.

Advantages: Does seem to leave your skin feeling very soft - revised, please see extra comments below
Disadvantages: Very expensive, seems difficult to get hold of, can be greasy on the skin

...On a recent visit to London, I decided to take a visit to Harrods. Once in the cosmetics and beauty dept, I was drawn to the Creme De La Mer counter and before you could say ' I wonder if I have done the right thing by paying £75 for a small 30ml jar of cream' I found myself the dubiously proud owner of the so called miracle product. The hype (as per the brochure and newspaper reports). Creme De La Mer was invented by an aerospace physicist, Dr. Max Huber who after being horrifically burned after a routine experiment exploded in his face, began looking for a cream to help dimish his scars. Once he realised that there was no cream on the market that would help, he decided to invent his own and 12 years and 6000 experiments later, developed the cream The ingredients in the cream are: sea kelp, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron...
