    Glad you went for the LE. Clinique skincare is awful in my opinion. I know so many other women besides myself who's skin it literarlly ruined.

    If you buy a six pack of the cleansing cloths and wash them regularly they will last ages. I've been using the same ones for two years now.

    You can find LE sometimes cheaper on ebay or QVC. Especially when they have the cleanser in packs of two or three. The largest size lasts over a month for me as you really do not need a lot.

    I don't use the cleanser anymore, I use Decleor cleansing milk which I get in huge bottles on ebay.

    But I do recommend LE if you have sensitive skin or oily skin or combo skin. It got rid of the flakiness I was always suffering from on my forehead even though I have oily skin. I still use the Skinrepair Light moisturiser as its the only moisturiser I can find that is light enough for my oily skin but gentle enough for my sensitivity and rosacea. It is also the only one I can use near my eyes. Her face sunscreen is really good too and excellent for a bare face on holiday.
  • I am a Liz Earle addict now thanks to my mum's QVC shopping spree one christmas. Although it can appear to bring you out in spots that is actually a sign that it's doing what it's supposed to and cleaning out your pores- you can't do a deep clean without bringing out some dirt ;) If you do decide to buy any Liz Earle products I would recommend buying them from the official website (unless they are on offer anywhere else) as everytime I have placed an order I have received a minature freebie of other products. Also when you create an account you get send money off offers once or twice a year- plus it remembers your previous orders so you can just hit reorder if you're feeling consistant.

    Personally, I find that one tub of moisturiser and one fash wash tube lasts 6 months and I only wash the muslin clothes either once a week *when I remember* or when it gets covered in makeup and I start to feel shamed so have to hide it :o I'm too lazy to cleanse :p
    when the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up she knows she's losing it :o

    Ok, it's official, I LOVE Liz Earle!!!! Thanks folks.
    :D Make a list of important things to do today. At the top, put 'eat chocolate'. Now, you'll get at least one thing done today. :D
  • Buying from Liz Earle rather than QVC or the shops is usually worth it as they always put in a small size of something :j

    There is also a Liz Earle 2nds shop on ebay - not much cheaper though, no freebie, and the offers on the main site are usually great ~ currently a full size eyebright with the essentials collection.

    I cannot recommend the body wash and lotion highly enough :T

    Hi,

    Ive used clinque in the past and switched to liz earle. I thought the clarifying lotion was ok once every while and the mosturiser was lovely but I found the liz earle routine very simple and effective without the harshness of the chemicals. The muslin clothes also work well. My only advice in relation to Liz Earle is to make sure you chose the right type for skin. You can get it on line via the website or if you join QVC.UK (for free) they often have offers on which is when i tend to stock up - very reasonable on their "todays special value" offers.

    Good luck :-)
