Neals Yard Frankincense stuff. I've just discovered it and its fab.

Mine are:
REN Frankinsence Repair cream
REN body lotions- preferably Morrocan Rose
Clinique City Block- use 365 days year
Clinique moisturiser- either Super Defense or Youth Surge

That might JUST be over £100.

This stuff is lovely.

The cleansing balm and night nourisher should just tip over £100.

Am hoping to find some from father christmas tomorrow.

I'd go to REN and get a moisturiser, an eye cream and the Omega 3 Overnight Lipid Renewal Serum.

purplepeony · 24/12/2009 17:42

Another REN fan- have you tried the Frankinsence cream- I have the Omega 3 stuff too but prefer the Frankinsence.
Hoping for some shower/body goodies for Xmas.

REN is fab isn't it, I've never been into one brand before but I've liked everything I've tried so far. I'm getting one of the treatment masks tomorrow.

I haven't used the Frankinsence cream yet, will give it a try next time.

DarrellRivers · 24/12/2009 18:31

Darphin stuff

corny - yes, Ren is better than Neals Yard- I have tried both.
Ren is expensive but is very good quality.

It's all "nasties-free" and does seem to work.
www.renskincare.com

You can get it at J Lewis, possibly Space NK, and Selfridges if you want to try- or mail order. If you register for the newsletter you get details of offers. I have just got the rose shower gel and body lotion- as a set- adn a free rose shower gel thrown in.

Oh how I love clarins. The smell, the feel, the way it gets rid of those flaky bits on the side of my nose.

expatinscotland · 24/12/2009 20:36

Bobbi Brown foundation stuff and Liz Earle skin products.

cornysxmasmuffmusic · 24/12/2009 20:37

PURPLEPEONY-I acn only see a couple of frankincense products on there - do you use the Frankincense & Boswellia Serrata Revitalising Repair Cream?

purplepeony · 24/12/2009 20:42

corny - yes! I adore it and suggested it to a friend and she adores it too.
