Can I ask, out of interest, just how many people do use the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream?

Also, when do you use it and where?

I'll start the list....

Elemis PCMC User List
Kadison - Night time only, on face, neck and decollete

Me - although its a fairly recent discovery - I use it morning and night on face and neck.

INs and OUTs to report. I bought the LE bundle.

INs x 7...all look amazing though. £40 for all of them. Just over £5 each. I'm trying to convince myself aren't I? Lol.

OUTs

16 - Lush blue skies bubble bar. One of my favourite things ever ever! Will buy again, possibly as a treat on my birthday next week. But just the one. Good for my blue days.
17 - Estee Lauder doublewear foundation, sample sized. This little bottle lasted ages, would consider buying if I wore liquid foundation.

P.S. The forum just let me update my sig! Hurrah!

Oooh and a question: does anyone use a manual cleansing brush? I'd really like to try one but don't know where to start. Hmmm?

Thank you wise forum ladies!

Some outs to declare:

Gillette shaving gel - WBA this lasted DH an age think there is more in the stash.

Lush twilight ballistic - WBA

Wilkinson Sword razors - WBA but have more in stash.


However epic ins to declare:

Clarins everlasting compact foundation - this was needed as I am left with the outer rim of my current compact.

Clarins brightening toner - again needed as im well through my last one.

With these came 4 GWP minis.

Nivea coconut wash - not needed just wanted

Original Source lime shower gel - DD loves this.

2 x Boots cotton wool pads

2 x Tampax

2 x Garnier 2 in 1 make up remover - HG and running low

Elvive crystal conditioner - running low on my current one.

Hydrauron - no excuse I just wanted to try it - my only saving grace is that it was on offer and I paid with boots points.

2 x Mouthwash - needed none left in the house

Me too - mainly night time on my face & neck but if my skin needs a pep up for the daytime occasionally I will use it.

No other UUs but my Clinique compact is almost out too and for the first time ever....I don't have a new one in the stash.

I am off out with a friend for lunch tomorrow, followed by a look at the shops in town. Time to try the recommendations for a loose powder.

Tomorrow night I am going to see the midnight hypnotist show...should be entertaining to watch as I am staying firmly in my seat

Have a good weekend ladies :beer:

Elemis PCMC User List
Kadison - Night time only, on face, neck and decollete
Sundaysgirl - Night time only (though occasionally on face for day in winter when my skin is drier), on face and neck
Maddiemay - Mornings ATM, only on face

After reading all the rave reviews I got a small duo set of night and day cream and have only used the day cream a few times but have been using the night cream on face, neck and decollette for a while.

Have to say the jury is still very much out, I love the smell and the feeling that it is a bit luxe and special but really other than that I don't get it and am certainly far from convinced that I need buy it again.

Some of you may sigh when I say this, but I'm going to be 25 in 3 weeks and I'm starting to feel like I should be looking at something to help prevent ageing. I don't think I'm showing proper signs of ageing, but I've had a worry line on my forehead since I was 12, and have recently started to form my third, with the rest of my forehead is looking a little tired. Can anyone recommend something appropriate?

Don't bother with anything too extreme like peels or anything as really you shouldn't think about that until you're about 45ish.

The best thing I can say is start using an SPF day cream all year round, the Olay ones are the best, Asda usually have them for about £5. I use the SPF 30 day fluid as my skin is very fair and I get a lot of pigmentation. The Body Shop Vit C one is excellent too.

At this time of year I'd use a proper facial sunscreen, I like Soltan Once as it goes on in the morning and you can forget about it.

Also you could start using a night cream, Elemis PCMC if you can afford it, works for all ages, all skin types and is VERY popular on here! If not then anything is better than nothing as your skin regenerates as you sleep.

Other than that just remember, nothing halts the ageing process, but the two worst things that speed it up are the sun and smoking Oh and see the lines as just part of your face, not something that destracts from how lovely you look overall xxx

Nooo, don't tempt me! I love L'Occ but try to stay away as they always have some great offer on which means that I never buy just one item, and always leave having parted with the best part of £100 :eek: I also think it's quite overpriced for some of the bodycare items, and I'm especially aware of this now since I'm trying to really cut back on toiletries and get my mortgage paid off! The Champneys one is a good price, and I managed to get it in clearance for £2.50 and 3 for 2 luxury bathing, even though every other Mr B's I've been to is still selling it for £6?!

Must look out for Chamneys next time I need to replace mine. Unfortunately, I have a trip to the Trafford Centre arranged for tomorrow with Emma. Am deciding whether to call instore now and get a liquid soap refill though I don't really need one yet however MrM is going to be laid up for quite some time still and it would save me postage but like you I can't resist and end up spending a small fortune in there.

Yesterday the Senior Partner of our firm was in and was moaning to our receptionist that he couldn't find the liquid soap that he bought for our loo any more. It's a Morrisons one that is really nasty. I take my own Liz Earle one in as it's that bad. Apparently though he doesn't like us filling the soap dispenser with any handwash that it coloured because he doesn't like it if he can see it through the dispenser! I wish he had had that conversation with me cos I would have set him right! lol

Thanks for the tip about a base coat - I don't usually put anything on under or over a coat of nail varnish :rotfl:

That probably is why your lacquers are chipping so easily ahem! lol

My new OPI collection came yesterday and I love all the colours though am still lemming that Alcatraz Rocks one as well. Maybe I'll have a little look at the Trafford Centre tomorrow. I will be buying a new Essie top coat whilst there though. It seems that I can't get the one I usually like over here which is the To Dry For. Will get the Good to Go one instead.

Those are great tips kadison x

A few things to declare!

UU:
1. Caudalie Cleansing Water 200ml - WNBA, it makes my eyes sting and is just one of those products I didn't like reaching for
2. Philip Kingsley Maximiser - WBA, a really excellent product for my fine hair... it didn't weigh it down or make it crunchy
3. Neutrogena Anti-Ageing Hand Cream Spf 25 - WBA, I keep this in my handbag in the summer to use when on the go... very affordable for a high Spf handcream

IN:
1. Korres Basil Lemon Body Scrub 150ml
2. Balance Me Skin Brightening Exfoliating Body Polish 220g
3. Cath Kidston Bluebell Lip Balm
