I can't remember the name but I know there are some other products like eve lom but I can't remember the name. Which do you use and do you prefer it to eve lom?

God sorry... It's 3am here and I'm mid feed. Very badly worded op!

I've tried Liz Earle cleanse (Polish and Perfect) - similar concept with a muslin cloth; it was fine but I am back to Eve Lom again. Liz Earle packaging is easier for travelling I think.

I also love Eve Lom TLC, and having tried various other products keep going back to it. The only cream that I liked as much was the Pink Cream by Amanda Lacey but it is rather more expensive (£65 for 50 ml IIRC).

I have tried the liz Earle one, also the boots time delay version but sorry to say neither worked for me, always end up going back to eve lom. Loving the new eve lom morning cleanser too, almost more than the original.

Ulttrabland by Lush.

I love this, same concept, just as good and 1/5 of the price.

neal's yard wild rose cleansing balm is good. not as ££ as eve lom & smells divine.

I love Liz Earle, but if I am feeling flush, I will go back to Eve Lom. Nothing beats it for me! I also like the Bobbi Brown balm (although pricey), but HATED Lush!

The Spiezia cleanser is meant to be the Eve Lom copy, my sister has the EL and when I smelt it it was exactly like my Spiezia one.

It is good though a tiny bit too oily for my skin.

Eve Lom's 'cult' following is truly inexplicable - the formulation is mostly glycerin... it's vaseline with a few ingredients thrown in. How someone built a cosmetics industry empire by promoting vaseline and a washcloth is true marketing genius.

I once used the cleanser, but what killed it for me is the last time I considered purchasing it the sales assistant asked me if I needed to buy any extra cloths. Something like 12 quid for 2 pieces of muslin. I told her I had enough cloths but she warned me that I wouldn't get the full benefits of the cleanser if I used the 'old' muslin cloths as they would be too 'soft' on my skin. At that point I put the cleanser down and walked out of the shop, so I could go home and wash the word 'sucker' off my forehead.

Since then I have used this www.cremedelamer.co.uk/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT30288&PRODUCT_ID=PROD73456
It's a Creme de la Mer cleanser which comfortably removes ALL makeup in one squirt and leaves your skin feeling fresh. No muslin required. And it's CHEAPER than Eve Lom.

I thought TLC Radiance cream was very similar to light rose cream by Dr, Hauschka.

Thank you all. On postage alone the EL looks best. I really like the look of the NY and the one bran suggests. I very much want to try the EL morning cleanser too.
