elemis - in Superdrug

[nailprincess]

When I throw my toys out of the QVC pram and go back to Clinique, I always used to buy the 3 step and get the no 2 toner. You could smell the alcohol when the bottle was opened!! I don't mind the moisturiser or cleanser and the no 1 toner is ok as it isn't as potent as the no 2!!!!! I bought huge 400ml and 200ml bottles of the 3 step last year from their website, but can't see any this year.

Scary stuff NP! I think I'll just stick to Elemis & Linda Lusardi's range :nod:

It's a wonder I've still skin left the amount I chop and change lol. I like Elemis, and also Dr Hauschka.

 

[Nikki]

I've never heard of the 2nd one NP, do they sell it in department stores on online only?

 

[nailprincess]

There are some stockists on the High Street, but I usually buy mine straight from their website, www.drhauschka.co.uk
The Rose Day cream is divine

My local healthfood store stock Dr. Hauschka. I'd like to try this range but got my stock to use up first!

I only tried clinique once more years ago than I care to remember, and thought no 2 toner smelled like paint stripper

I used to love Anne French Deep Cleansing Milk. It was so easy to use and the proof of how deeply it cleansed was on the cotton wool.
Then I read that one of the ingredients is formaldehyde.....

Dr. Hauschka is a lovely range. Lancome release the products first at a high cost, because they do the research etc and have to pay for that. Then about a year later when something new comes out, the rename and put into the L'Oreal brand. Or sometimes the ingredients are not exactly the same.

There is a new Lancome foundation coming out next month, which has their wonder serum Vis something in it as well.

I`m currently testing the new Lancome foundation which is due out next month. It will retail at around £39. The testing panel have been sent a full sized bottle and for a month we havent to use any other foundation and we fill in weekly questionaires. So far I don`t particularly like the smell of it as it comes out of the pump but the smell fades as you apply it. The texture is smooth but not runny and one pump does the whole face so its very economical. There`s a concealer inside a flip top lid which is colour matched to the foundation so you get a perfect match between concealer and foundation, the texture of the concealer I find is rather hard. As for skin benefits, well I can honestly say I haven`t seen much difference, no better, no worse. Whether that would be different after longer term use I don`t know. The foundation hasn`t irritated my skin which is a big plus point to me because I have sensitive skin and the coverage is good without being heavy. All in all its quite good but the jury is still out as to whether I`d pay £39 for another bottle.

I had a look ladies & gents today as they had the range in Superdrug in Bluewater. TBH for the prices they were charging, (no offers on in the shop), there wasn't much difference to when we buy a good value package on Q. Facewash was £17.99, (100ml) & moisturiser was £21.99 for 50 ml. They had 2 ranges, one for clearskin, seems to be for break outs or preventing them in navy & white packaging, the other was freshskin, more moisturising I suspect in fucha & white packaging. The ingredients looked good, actives were liposomes, geranium & lavender. Have a look on the web for any offers is my suggestion or see if they do an offer in your local store. If not, seems little point in changing for the sake of a couple of quid.

I forgot to look for it when I went in today Nikki so thanks for that - ours is only a very small branch tho so probably not carrying it.
