    Absolutely! But then, im a beauty therapist and healthy, beautiful skin that you feel good about is important to me.

    I say yes. I have just started looking after my skin after years of neglect and am kicking myself for not doing so earlier. If the moisturiser makes you feel good and better than any other has, then go for it

    FOR SURE!

    Skin and hair products are the only things I wont budge on! I'll wear crap clothes.. dodgy shoes.. have nothing new for me..

    but.. i MUST have my certain skin products. I just spent $65 on eye cream!



    Enjoy it..

    i'm with the other girls in asking what brand??

    If I tried it and it was better than anything I could make at home with my aromatherapy and base/raw ingredients, then probably! I'd be making the most of my buck and using Origins' Never A Dull Moment to make sure I was getting the most out of it, and not 'moisturising' dead skin But then, I have a Lancome Juicy Tubes habit...one is definitely not enough and 4 is still going very lean on your Juicy Tube needs...

    Of course I would. I spend a lot of money on make up and moisturisers and hair products. People say there is no difference between cheap and expensive products, but I really do beg to differ.
    Besides, one bottle of moisturiser would last a long time...so really you divide how many months it lasts you by $99 and it really doesnt seem so much in the scheme of things.
    I spend around $200 on make up alone every 3 months.

    I used to in my BT days (that's Before Tom days ). Now I am pretty happy with my Olay and have discovered Rosehip oil which is perfect for my skin.

    I would say go for it. Especially if it makes you feel great!

    Yes, I would and have until lately and I have to say that once I am finished my cheaper one I am going back to the good stuff!
    Just beware of strawberrynet and the likes. There was an artcile about strawberrynet approx. 2-3 years ago and it virtually said that they could be selling you inferior products.

    Uhhhh..... no! I could go buy us groceries for a week! But then, I don't buy make-up/beauty stuff cos I'm not into that at all anyway so for me I wouldn't use it.

    I would, however, spend $99 on, say, a computer game... like The Sims 3 cos thats my thing

    So if you want it and would use it then yeah why not? Everyone has their indulgences!

    No as I can get beautiuful skin without having to pay that much for a moisturiser.

    Not sure if someone has said this as I havent read the whole thread but see if you can get it cheaper on ebay.

    Ohhhh i knew you girls would talk me into it....

    Brand is Ole Henriksen....

    Yep, ive checked out ebay and its a bit cheaper.....

    It does make me feel great - i am almost running (or waddling) to the bathroom mirror of a morning to see my face.....its defn an improvement. I spent $54.95 on my last moisturiser....so im thinking that xtra $50 is worth it.....

    Of course I would. I spend a lot of money on make up and moisturisers and hair products. People say there is no difference between cheap and expensive products, but I really do beg to differ.
    ....i agree mummy101.......you really do only need a little, and if it lasts me 6-9 months, then im happy.....

    Thanks loveys.....

    Please everyone be very, very careful when buying off the internet. Quite often the products are a very good imitation copy, or they are out of date.

    Also, consider the people who are doing their best to make a profit without having overseas companies selling the same product significantly cheaper.

    ha mbear! yes i did just give birth on friday...hence i'm on bb cos i'm breastfeeding constantly again!
    i love adore, i buy stuff off them all the time. i'll give you a tip, try the Terax conditioner- you'll never use another brand again.
