Thinking of buying in preparation for not looking too tired in anticipation of a birthday soon, and Boots is offering £7.50 points - is this any good guys?

Hope in a Jar has been reformulated and is now Renewed Hope, so check you're getting the latest version. The original smelt awful - this was supposed to be addressed when they reformulated, but I'd defo check it first, if you can.

I used HIAJ before (used to buy from QVC when they had a special offer) it smelled 'ok' , much more pleasant IMO than Elemis ProCollagen and L'Occitane Divine.

Not tried Renewed Hope though.

There's a load of new products now from Philosophy (though I don;t like the 'Pure' perfumed products)

I like hope in a jar . Am still mourning the passing of their incredible greatest love scrub . Nothing like it .

Boots have the HIAJ (renewed) for £35.50 / 60ml and the eyecream for £29.50/15ml

QVC have the set for £35.50 + £4 p&p

You get 30 day money back guaretee (OK, you don't get 2x£7.50 worth of points but you're pretty much getting the free eyecream)

My birthday this week ( I know, I'm in No Spend June but I ordered this today so it's ok Grin )
I tried the HIAJ Renewed in Boots yesterday, it felt gorgeous.


I don't really need an eyecream so went for the Boots with the extra points option. Then I can treat myself to something else later in the year . Win Win .

I was on the testing panel via Red magazine for the serum and didn't rate it at all. Initially it broke me out, and when that cleared I didn't see any positive results and went back to Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair.

A few days in and I'm still loving renewed. Although I do miss the old smell, which is a bit strange really as I didn't like it that much when I used it before.

Judy nothing would ever tempt we away from anr. Nothing Grin
