Favourite Skincare/Beauty ranges

I am fine with Rosehip Oil from A'kin though. In fact my skin loves it. I'm using Cellular Radiance Oil at the moment, and if anything I prefer it. My skin's really lovely at the moment. (if I do say so my blummen self! )

I've had really good results from the A'kin Rosehip Oil too, it really has softened my skin up and is great paired with my Rose De Mai cream.

LA - What's in the Cellular Radiance Serum, petal? xx

 

[watersiren]

I like and use most of the products on the list, but I have a soft spot for bath and body products. I am mad about L'Occitane and have recently discovered Rituals (pure decadence).

A'kin is growing on me, too.

Hi LA and thanks for listing the ingredients in this oil. I have been scared of trying Akin due to the rosehip ingredient because other products with rose in (most notably Elemis products) have caused a reaction on my skin. The last Elemis one that did this was the PCMC hand cream which contained rose extract. Was wondering, do you know whether rosehip and rose extract are the same? Not that I'm buying anything else just yet (calm down Loveheart) but for future ref. x

I'd give Gale Hayman a vote for lip lift .... :smile

(didn't realise you could vote for more than one brand - trust me! :rolleyes )

In a rush I voted for Elemis and Liz Earle didn't realise make up brands were there too so would have voted for bare Escentuals too.

I think they're probably not the same thing. Did it just say "Rose Extract" on the ingredients cos if it's Rosehip it tends to say Rosa Canina. Rose extract could just mean the perfume in the hand cream - did it smell of roses?

Can I be a massive pain the @r$e?

Can we have a new poll so that we can vote for ALL of our faves since I see I'm not the only one who clicked before reading! It would give more accurate result wouldn't it?

Pretty please?

LA Thank you so much for going to the time and trouble of posting the ingredients for me. Certainly an impressive list - and as always not chock full of nasties. This is definitely going on my 'to try' list after I've used up my stash of Rosehip Oil.

Thanks again, lovely xxx
