Have Your Health Or Beauty Products Lived Up to The Hype?

[kazlin]

I was just wondering whether you have bought a health or beauty product after reading lots of hype about it and did it live up to it's claim?

Take moisturisers, I have more or less given up on most. I tend to use either Lush or a really basic sensitive skin lotion and I find that by moisturising daily and drinking lots of water this gives a pretty dewy appearance. I just don't believe all the hype that comes with the more expensive and commercial products.

What's your experiences?

Take it you haven't been back to the nose piercing post

Not so much in moisturisers but I do spend alot on my shampoos and make up.

I only use Redken Shampoo & Conditioner. And only use MAC make up. I do have other brands of make up that I use, but it just doesnt last all day/night.

I love the elemis products!

I love clinique

I use Olay Regenerist rehydrating lotion and it's made my skin have that "dewy glow" - I recommended it to my sister and hers is looking much better now too. I found their replenishing lotion rubbish though.

I've also used Olay Definity serum and that was great too.

YSL Touche Eclat is the only premium product I use that I think is worth the price tag, as it's cheaper versions just don't measure up.

I tend not to go very cheap but find a lot of mid-price products just as good as designer.

i only rely on clinicque for creams and things and make up, but love YSL touch eclat!!! cant be without it... its in my handbag at all times

for my hair it has to be bedhead by tigi as it smells so scrummy.

the only thing i spent money on and didnt like is them microdermabrasion kits to be honest any lotion with some salt granules in do just the same.

To be fair I do believe that the more you spend on a product the better it will be.

I don't get the very expensive stuff.

I get Soap & Glory face scrub - £7.00

L'oreal Volume Shocking Mascara - £9.99

Bourjois Foundation - £8.99

L'oreal Eyeshadow - £6.99

They're the only products that I'm fussy with, the rest I'll just buy whatever I fancy at the time

I was looking at Benefit make-up the other day but I didn't dare pay £21 for a little tub of cream or whatever it was, bet it was bloody good though

I don't get the really expensive shampoo either, I love Redken like Sarah cos that's what they use to do my hair at the salon but I never buy it to use at home. I get different ones all the time but they're usually around £5.

Honestly, when I go into Boots I never spend less than £50

I'm fussy with my hair products and only use Aveda because it made such a difference to my hair when I started with it, on my skin I can only really use E45 but I do use lots and lots of it, and I love Boots No 7 make up which isn't too badly priced.

I have the best facecream ever, it is a local business that does organic soaps etc- it's avacado and rose oil, fantastic! I use rose water from the garden for cleanser
