...this month's Marie Claire has a 50ml tube of the Power Berry moisturiser on the front AND a 20% off coupon inside.

woo hoo

it's crap though

the mag or the moisturiser?

the moisturiser. I like their rosehip oil though, and the frankinsense cream. I got this cream and am underwhelmed.

me too..... used the voucher to buy some of the frankinsense cream but the freebie one smells odd IMO, v. runny and makes my face feel tight after (dunno if its supposed to do that?)

It stinks.

you're right doris, I feel a bit dry still after using it this morning. the mag is crap too.

but 20% off is a good excuse to get the stuff I do like from them. which includes the frankincense stuff even tho it smells vile.

actually now I look at the website the power berry stuff is aimed at skin that is already 'youthful'

ahaha

that might be where I am going wrong

It smells like rye bread (which actually I quite like) and is too runny but I do like the feel of it a lot and it did seem to make me a bit 'glowy' when I first started using it (before it realised that glow and I don't really mix and gave it up as a bad job). I like it better than the Frankincense one that was a freebie last year.

The magazine is rubbish though. I remember the days when Marie Claire was intelligent.

that cream is appalling. Smells like mint sauce, imo!!

Agree the frankincense one was better, am still using that up it has lasted ages. Also agree that magazine was crap, it used to really stand out with good coverage of important issues, now it's just the same as all the other glossies.

Am cross with myself because I chucked it out without remembering to cut out the voucher - was there a code you could use online that anyone can tell me?

bad luck MrsD, the code is marieclaire2010

ew to mint sauce

Thank you Aquavit, will use that for more of the frankinsense one.

The power berry face mask is good- but obviously I have "youthful skin"

I think I am no longer welcome in my local NY shop because I said that the power berry mask smelled like something from the body shop

I have never seen someone look so offended

you enjoy your youthful skin deaddei while it lasts

Smells like sangria to me. Smell is so subjective isn't it?!

I have very oily (though ageing ) skin, and I quite like it as a light moisturiser.
