Would you spend $99 on a moisturiser ??

[Astrid]

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

[boomba]

If I had the money then definately!
Why not if it makes you feel good go for it!

[mumofmany]

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??

[Smoke Jaguar]

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...

[tannedangel]

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!

[RhiChiChi]

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.

[Indadhanu]

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!

[MamaPan]

go for it honey - if it makes you feel good it is worth it!
plus mr rudd would want you to....

[S'rose]

Wouldn't even blink about it, in fact mine costs significantly more than that but its divine and I have spent about the last 8 yrs caring for my skin so its definitely worth it. No one thinks I look my age.
If its divine, you deserve it... knowing that every morning you are looking and feeling better... value for money in my book

And DH - well his costs about $50 on its own... no issues there either... I love that my man takes care of his skin too.

[AliBaby]

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.

[mbear]

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.....

[Missy_Moo]

Hmmm sounds lovely....I want some!

Where abouts does one purchase this lovely moisturiser????

[Indadhanu]

YAY go for it girl you deserve to feel beautiful xxxxx

[Ginger]

i say yes! go for it!!!
i spent $145 on eye cream about 10 months ago- i still have more than 3/4 left- and i can see a significant difference in the lines around my eyes, it has made a huge difference and it feels lovely so for me it has been worth it.

eta- i think adore beauty stock that brand?- they are fantastic to buy from

[Madissun]

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

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.

[Ginger]

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.

[Bathsheba]

$99? Hmmm, maybe... but I'm a fairly sceptical consumer of cosmetics these days. I used to spend a lot more than I do now... but have discovered better/cheaper brands in the last few years... mainly smaller more ethical companies like MiEssence and MooGoo... who use organic good quality ingredients and don't use dangerous or dubious chemicals.

HOWEVER... I am still a bit of a sucker for those luxury brands.... but I have learned how to sweet talk samples out of counter assistants Only last week I read a review on Chanel's new skin care system (including a moisturiser) which probably cost a fortune... but i made enquiries at their Myer counter... said something about needing to test the product on my skin for an allergy and voila they gave me a 7ml sample tube! If it's nice then i'll probably go next door to their David Jones counter and repeat the same performance *wicked grin*. And if I decide that the stuff really does work and the science behind it adds up then i'll fork out for a large jar. I'm fairly cautious when it comes to spending over $50 these days.... I gotta feel very confident.
