Eek!! It's the best part of £90 delivered. How long before the Elemis TSVs are going to be £100+? I do want this though so do I go for the AD or do I go for EP? Decisions, decisions.

Or should I just say Don't be ridiculous spending that money on beauty stuff?

Eek was my first thought too, with the p&p it's pushing the price right up! There will be easy pays so makes it easier if you do really want it. Because you don't get easy pays with AD of course

It’s a lot of money…. But, if you love it and will use all of it, get two on easy pay. Less postage and you spread the cost.

Yes I might get 2 then I get the EPs. The last TSV I got was £75 so this is quite a jump and the last one had a 50ml matrix in it. I'll think about it for a day or two.

I can't really talk because I used to spend a small fortune on Molton Brown but I do think the price of TSV's are seriously out of most peoples budget these days.

I remember a few years ago when we were all moaning that TSV's were starting to creep up to almost £50.00 each. Oh, how little we knew.

Thinking I should just go for one lot but you do get the PCMC, which even on ebay is £30 or so. Anyone used the other 2 products? Are they any good? I do like the superfood range and it doesn't come round that often. I know, I'm dithering. More wine needed.

Haha! I use the oil everyday, day & night and my skin loves it. I use the advanced eye most days too, it's light and you only need half a pump so will last a good while. I used the superfood night cream last Nov & Dec and it's very antioxidant, so at certain times in the year when your diet has changed and you're treating yourself with chocs and richer food, my skin didn't break out and looked really good- would really rate all the products!

Thanks Mrs! I'm trying not to overspend but I know I will use all the products. Maybe it will sell out before the launch and I won't need to decide

Far too expensive now and the PCMC at 30ml isn’t full size whatever they say.

So what is this Midnight Facial? Is it a normal night cream or a treatment? It says gel cream which suggests it wouldn’t be sufficiently nourishing for me, and perhaps more for younger skin? ( I know when I bought the superfood TSv the general consensus was that it wasn’t an anti-aging offering. I did like the oil but that was about it and I thought the day cream more of a summer lightweight cream. )

I’m sure whoever is presenting will state “you’re saving around £86 on our normal price” to which I’ll say “No, I’m saving £171 because I’m not buying it”

Had a tube of midnight facial last year, didn't see any results really but I am late fifties (eek again)

I think it's trying to be both as the texture is slightly thicker than a normal gel cream, it's very similar to plumping pillow's texture and as that's being discontinued Elemis are perhaps pushing Midnight Facial as its replacement.
I remember Keeley saying you could use it every night if you wanted to, but when it first came out it was marketed as a treatment a couple of times a week. I've used it and liked it, I'm 44 and more of a combination skin and found it sunk in well and no sticky or greasy residue in the morning.

I have started getting emails from Elemis telling me my Advent Calendar is waiting for me. It will be waiting for a long time. I don't buy any beauty/candle/perfume Advent Calendars.

Elemis still gives me spots when I use it. Not a load but I think its far too perfumed.

I found the Superfood facial oil very highly fragranced which put me off.

A lot of Elemis products are fragranced which is not great for sensitive skin.

I now use an app called Yuka which assesses food and cosmetics for how good they are for your health/skin. Pretty much all the cosmetic brands on QVC come out badly including Elemis mainly because they include a chemical called Phenoxtethanol which can cause allergic reactions. Some Elemis products also contain microplastics.
