Creme de la Merde!

Advantages: This 'designer' cream will turn your bathroom shelf into a shrine.
Disadvantages: Your bank manager will none too pleased.

I have read nothing but rave reviews about Creme de la Mer, an A-list moisturiser with an A-list price tag attached. Magazines are forever gushing about this product, associating words such as 'miracle' and 'extraordinary' to it so naturally curiosity got the better of me. Now although I can be somewhat of a beauty product victim and quite impulsive, even I know that forking out around eighty-eight quid for an itsy tub (30ml!) of this wonder is just plain ridiculous. So I sought to foreign lands, the U S of A to be precise, with hope that I could purchase the product for a fraction of the price - this was roughly about a year ago folks, before recession, when the value of the pound was almost two dollars, and so I managed to get hold of it at just over a hundred dollars with postage and packaging which luckily worked out no more than ...

Review of Creme de la Mer Creme de la Mer Face Cream

Creme de la mer face cream

Advantages: You see results quickly
Disadvantages: Expensive

comes with a spatula so you know how much you're using & you dont get bacteria from your hands into the jar. Results: Its been a month now & I have to say I have been amazed by what its done. At first I didn't really notice what it was doing to my skin & I was getting a lot of compliments from people about how good my skin was looking. I hadn't told anyone that I was using this cream as I wanted to know if it really worked. Its given my skin life & gives it a very nice glow. As for my spots - what spots??!!! They've all stopped - I cant believe it. I noticed it took away a lot of the redness from the scars left by spots & now im just waiting for the scars to start diminishing. Which fingers crossed will be soon. It has also smoothed out some fine lines I could see appearing. The Blurb: Crème de la Mer's Miracle Broth? is ...

Review of Creme de la Mer Creme de la Mer Face Cream

Not the Creme De La Creme

Advantages: It comes in a nice green box
Disadvantages: Didn't live up to the hype

this would be the elusive cream that would melt away all my bad skin days and leave me waking up each morning with skin so beautiful and flawless I would look like Da Vinci had airbrushed me himself! I am so deluded, easily led and gullible, I know, but I fell for it hook, line and skincare... The packaging is definately not consistent with the price tag. Ok, the green bag and box it comes in are alright, and the actual pot is unusually heavy but the logo on the pot is so cheap looking, I told my husband it cost £4.99 from the chemist and he believed me! I should have spent £4.99 but on a pot of Nivea because Creme De La Mer is Nivea's more expensive snobby twin. The actual product itself sat on top of my skin for what felt like an eternity, I was too afraid to put it on just before getting into bed and wasting a fivers worth on my ...
