oops price of the liz earle is £14.25 for 50ml

bodyshop vitamin e moisturiser:

scent 8/10
moisturisingness 17/20
absorption: 10/10
value for money 10/10

really like that.

Superdrug Optimum

Scent - 6
Moisturisingness - 16
Absorption - 7 (ever so slight film left if you use too much)
Value - 10

And it has SPF15.

I said "oh go on then" because of what I was reviewing (i.e. embarrassingly expensive) rather than because I think I'm above all this (not too convinced by the statistical validity of it all, mind...)

Eucerin lipobase

I bore for England about it every chance I get - my dry v sensitive skin is the best its ever been now with this. Get it at big branches of Boots (or little ones can order it I think).

Scent - none therefore 10/10 for me
Moisturisingness - 20/20
Absorbtion - 9/10, can put makeup on about 10 mins later.
VFM - 10/10, it's about 8 quid and I'd pay three times that for it.

Have also recently tried Clinique moisture surge - good but a bit sticky, no good under makeup and not as effective; Elizabeth Arden sensitive skin calming lotion - quite good but too light; Estee Lauder Verite sensitive range - again good but a bit too light. All far more expensive than the Eucerin.

OMG I got the name wrong
It's Aveda Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion

Oh right, I'm now convinced by the statistics, what with you having a calculator and all.

I am using - courtesy of posho job obviously - some ludicrously expensive Guerlain Orchidee stuff, and the serum. In garish gold and purple packaging. I scoffed. I privately thought it would be much the same as Nivea.

And I am aglow, and positively dewy.

Is that punch for my sarcasm or motherinferior's access to absolutely wonderful products? (either would be fine)

Thing is I don't know how much it actually costs - can't bear to find out - so don't know if it's value for money. If you see what I mean. What price, after all, on dewiness, eh?

It's probably £1000000.99

Lush Imperialis £8.75 for 45g

Scent 7/10 Smells of lavender which is ok if you like that sort of thing
moisturisingness 16/20 Good but I've used better
absorption 10/10 can't fault it really for that
value for money 8/10 you don't need much and it lasts ages

good wide shallow pot with screw top so easy to get last out of the bottom.

It has its own little spatula you know, that's how posh it is. Or it did, anyway.

I am so not a posho cream sort of a gel, but I do appear to look better according to my colleagues.

One to use the moisturiser, two to be supportive, one to write a book about it and two to run the creche?

good god mi, is it this?!

Hello katierocket, how are you? Is ds2 sleeping any better these days?

Garnier Pure A daily treatment moisturiser, usually £4.99 for 40 ml. For ageing, sorry 'more mature', but spotty people.

scent 7/10 - very fresh smelling
moisturising ness 14/20 - it's light, and meant to be so.
absorption 9/10
value for money 8/10 seems to last for ages, you don't need much.

Total: 38/50

Garnier Pure A intensive night treatment. Usually £4.99 for 40 ml.

scent 7/10 - smells a bit cucumbery, a bit like Pimms.
moisturising ness 16/20 - it doesn't really moisturise very much, but that's kind of the point of it - it's got salicylic acid to 'clear imperfections and their marks' and leaves skin 'comfortable'.
absorption 9/10 - very light gel
value for money 8/10

Total: 40/50

Decleor Matt Fluid

scent 9/10 - lovely fresh smell
moisurising ness 20/20
absorbtion 10/10
value for money 10/10 - its £25 or thereabouts and only a small tube but it lasts ages - I've tried so many moisturisers that leave me too shiney but this is fab.

total: 49/50
