    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.....

    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

    If you buy from adore beauty and spend over $50 you get to pick 3 samples.....and you get a small choccie bar.

    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 Quite often the products are a very good imitation copy, or they are out of date.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.

    $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.
