I have just swapped to Elemis from another well known brand. I received this as a sample with another product I bought. On first opening, I was put off by colour. Its not nice, and yes I know it contains broccoli, asparagus and Kale! It smelled good though.
However, went on my skin really well. Lathered well which I like and find a lot of products don't.
Didn't leave my skin dry and skin looked really healthy rest of day. Will be using my 15% new customer voucher to buy a full sized one

Had heard good things about BB so decided to give it a try. Due to my skin starting to suffer with a little dryness, this foundation was recommended to me due to the added serum.
I am so disappointed. It wasn't cheap. It felt really thick and heavy all day. I literally could not wait to get home and wash it off. Haven't touched it since.

I tried a few Clarins moisturisers before trying this as a sample. My skin is very good for my age but I have started to suffer from slightly dry skin and the first signs of fine lines.
I love the colour of this, I am initially attracted to aesthetics and how products smell. This smelt amazing. The texture is spot on. Just thick enough to rub in well and feels luxurious. My skin absorbs it well and is ready for makeup soon after application. My skin feels hydrated and soft straight after and maintains this throughout the day. It is expensive but not really compared to other high end creams. I'm currently saving up for the night cream. I use this with a serum and I'd really recommend for those looking for a bit more hydration without greasiness. This is an antiwrinkle cream. My wrinkles haven't disappeared (lol) but they certainly haven't got any worse and my skin looks and feels so much better. It has a tighter appearance too.

We bbq all Summer and rarely use our grill. My husband bought this as he wanted a healthier style of cooking. This Optigrill dies many things I love, but here are a few of my favourites:
* cooks chicken breasts from frozen (a lifesaver when you've forgot to defrost them)
* Fully dishwasher proof, grills are easy to remove and replace, and drip tray
* Grills everything healthy from meat to tomatoes/corn on the cob/mushrooms
* Does the best paninis ever, easier than a toaty in a toasty machine
* different setting for preference with meat. It beeps at each setting for example steak rare, then will beep at each setting until we'll done so you just remove meat at your preference. Same with bacon etc
* leaves lovely grill effect on everything.
I have had this since November and can't find anything to fault yet. Its a much healthier option, easy to use, can cook loads at once, easy to clean plus I LOVE THE COLOURS of the led indicators.

I had this as part of a Christmas gift set. I usually use (and prefer) the 72hr sorbet Creme.
This for me, doesn't have that luxurious feel that I expect. It was quite thin and messy to apply compared to others I use. Although I could tell I'd moisturised, my skin needed more, but that could be my age and it needing a bit more. I've tried with a serum too.
Not for me, probably better for younger skin.

Getting on the wrong side of 40. As I'm quite skinny I noticed my neck was starting to look saggy. Was horrified to see my chicken neck on an advertising video for work.
Tried a few creams. I purchased this in store and staff were helpful. I tried this and another Clarins product and chose this one over the other for its smell. All the extra firming brand smells gorgeous. Nice applicator, easy to apply. Lasts ages (I've had this one since June). I have noticed less sagging on my neck and that it does appear tighter. This is now my go to and I will continue to use.

I was sent this as a substitution for another scent of the same brand in my shopping. At first I saw pine and was put off. However, since using it does actually smell really nice and reminds me of Christmas.
I really like the fact that clothes come out of my drier smelling lovely. If I hang washing on in my laundry room, the room smells divine. Love the fact the smell stays, I can smell it on my bedding and towels for a good few days after. Really pleasantly surprised.

With the New Year comes a crack at weight loss for my husband who is using slimming shakes. As he is on the road all day, he has no access to a fridge to keep them cool and was finding by lunchtime his shakes were warm. Have tried several brand flasks from supermarkets with no luck. Saw this on Amazon and gave it a go.
Love the fact it comes in a range of lovely colours (you should see the pink although I don't think my hubby would appreciate it!). They hold a decent volume, don't leak and actually keep the drinks cool all day! Only downside is reaching the bottom to clean but going to buy a brush. I've got more on order, they are great.

I bought this for my son. He loves Harry Potter and the bath range. Out of all the HP bath bombs and bath cremes he had for Christmas, this is his go to. The gold looks very luxurious and shimmery. It is quite thick but doesn't take ages to pour like some can. It creates a lovely amount of bubbles. Only downsides are that the glass bottle is quite heavy and the stopper top can be really hard to get out. Saying that, it's a lovely product I would buy again. -

I have long fly away hair and love my shampoo and conditioners. I bought this really attracted to the fact it offered sleek and smooth hair and the plum smell. Really disappointed. Firstly, the conditioner is quite cheap looking, very runny and you need quite a bit of it to go through your hair. The smell wasn't that strong, I personally like that fresh smell which I didn't get with this product. Also, I've never had a reaction to anything but this left me with red itchy skin on my face and neck lasting several hours. My hair felt OK after, but as mentioned I needed loads of product due to its runniness. Sadly, would not recommend. -
