Am I the only person who things I see a difference with a good eye cream? I've tried loads I don't think do, and also...I think i'm not the best tester, I have just the whisper of wrinkles yet to really be too impressive to anyone but myself around my eyes ...but I do notice a difference..

I don't know, I mostly use it as a preventative measure, but if you use too much of any brand it makes eyes look puffy.

I may have been responsible for that...

It's no good, I can't leave you to bear the guilt alone - I may also have said good things about it leading to people being lead astray!

I also have problems with blackheads and blocked large pores. I'm finding that I'm really liking the Olay regenerist cleansers. I have a heating one that I use less than daily (3 days usually) and I use the other one every evening after my makeup comes off.

I love that heating regenerist cleanser. I may actually finish my current one tonight though, which leaves me with a tube and a half of the FAR less impressive Total Effects one to use before I can justify buying another. :eek:

OMG I want this biotherm stuff, that I haven't ever seen before or even googled yet The Simple eye balm shnizz I'm using atm is ok but this stuff sounds good...better...brilliant. OMG someone stop me

It's not the "stuff" you want - it's the idea of a miracle product. It might not even work as well on you as it does on others. Use what you've got up, and when you're aproaching needing another, that's the time to start doing some research towards your next purchase.

certain brands do for me..the clinique moisture surge is a real no-no for me,tiny amounts and I get eyes wrnkle free but puffed almost shut, would be better when I have more to puff out I think. I' loving the new ELNight repair one, perfect for me, but my all time favourite is an italian brand I can't get here, its quite heavy, yet never puffs, and can go over the eyelid too.

Popped in to Boots tonight to collect my dotcom order (Elizabeth Arden glitch, purely for presents, promise!) and ended up buying the epilator I've been promising myself for a while (with points!). OH MY GOD. What a bizarre experience. I won't lie, it did hurt, but wow my legs feel amazingly smooth. It's definitely something I'll persevere with, although I don't think I'm brave enough for underarms or bikini line just yet!
This is all in preparation for spring/summer legs and the weather report has just told me to expect snow again tomorrow. Oh well.
Anyone else an epilation fan? Or is fan the wrong word? Ha ha.

How much hurt is hurt...in comparison to waxing? Plucking?

I really want to, but then, if still shaving/waxing other places is it worth it? I'm scared I'll by it and it will hurt too much..

could one use it on an OH's back?

Well, it's no more painful than waxing, just a bit more prolonged and uncomfortable and slightly worse in certain areas, around the ankle bone was tricky :eek:.....
I have to say I did chortle at the suggestion of trying it out on OH's back. My better half is VERY HAIRY (God, I love it! ) and there is no way on earth he'd let me near him with this thing!! :rotfl:
I think I have quite a high pain threshold, 22 hour labour with zero pain relief here!!
It's not as bad as I thought it would be and I think it will get easier as your skin adapts. My legs feel sort of tingly/numb at the minute and I only went up to the knee. The thighs can be left for another night!

I would hazard a guess that might depend on whether the OH in question was conscious at the time?! :rotfl:
