Expensive skin care et al.

[Lozzie]

I think alot of it has to do with "Price perceived value" Ohhh that cream is £100, it MUST work!!!!


I find the dearer stuff is much better. Not the stupidly dear stuff, like Creme de la Mer...but a nice cream from Estee Lauder or somthing...and my face has never felt cleaner than when Ive used Clinique three step, although my teachers at college were dead against it.

I just find that in cheaper things...the product is "watered" down, some are good...but when I have the money, I'll get myself to the department store and get in the beauty bit...spend spend spend baby!

I hardly ever use the stuff apart from sometimes when i'm shaving, but i've got a few Clinique products that I usually buy in packs at the airport. It's about the most i'd pay for toiletries. Buying more expensive stuff isn't going to make me good looking though, unless it comes with a free genie.

The Nivea shaving gel and after shave balm is probably just as good though and i've started using those now instead

When i have finished my Crystal Clear shit i might jump ship to that. I was going to go down the DR Seabag route, but i just dunno- seems really expensive. Have you heard/tried any of the Freeze 24/7 stuff- i want the eye cream in that. I love Space NK for things like this, but as i said i do have that uneasy feeling that some fucker is pulling my pisser with it all.

best thing to do is go in nearset beauty salon that stocks karin herzog products and ask them what they would recomend for your skin type because its really strong stuff and theres 3 levels , wouldnt buy it from them tho you can get it on ebay for half the price , ive never heard of Freeze 24/7 dare i ask how what it is and how much , lol , am such a sucker ( fuc off shooms) for new products , oh and the karin herzog products make your skin go a bit shitty at 1st so i wouldnt recomend using it if your off somewere nice or got a nite planned out . and as for space nk , i love that shop , spend hours in there love stila products .

i used 2 use clinque 3 step and got told aswell to stop using it , must admit i didnt like the soap it smelt like the soap you used to have at school , and creme de la mer is well worth the money not that i could spend all that money on a big pot of the stuff but did get a small pot , looked like i had been shafted my face was glowing for hours , lol .

Hahaha...it's hard these days, with the millions of products to sift through till you find that "perfect-I cant do with out this EVER" product...even word of mouth isn't that good (appart from macara-btw...anyone know a really good one?) As everyone needs different stuff!

Oh, and I'd also like to add. Touch eclat is sooooo not the wonder product it's mad out to be! The best ever concealer i have EVER used...was a Helena Rubenstein "Magic Concealer" I lost it once at a mashup, and they don't retail in the UK anymore!!!! GUTTED!

Also, whats the best Foundation you have ever used??? Mine was estee Lauder one, cant remember the name...it was such a good coverage, but sooooooo hard to get off!!! That was more a winter foundation anyway, it was heavy as ken...

Reet, why don't we just post out 'can't live without prods'.

I will do mine in a bit, just making a brew.
