A Buy That Changed My Life #3

Not so much a buy this week as a freebie. I picked up the March edition of Cosmopolitan magazine for my hideously long train/bus/boat journey from Glasgow to Belfast, which had this little gem as a free gift. At the moment i am using the Garnier Ultra Lift (because Davina McCall told me to), and haven't been very impressed with it. I know, i know, i'm not exactly the target demographic as it's an anti wrinkle cream and i'm only 22, but with all of the hype surrounding it, and it's no nonsense packaging (complete with crows feet chart), I at least expected it to firm my skin, or generally do something more than a standard moisturiser. So taking a break from my Garnier cream, I have been using this Elemis Softly Softly one and find it taking immediate effect. It's light weight formula and non greasy texture, absorbs rapidly and leaves skin feeling soft and not in a clammy way like other, thicker creams, meaning that my makeup also applies more flawlessly over it. Lacking strong perfumes, the cream smells faintly of lavender, lovely and soothing when applied before bed. Despite being slightly pricey at £19.99, it is genuinely worth the money as I have already felt the benefits having using it for less than a week.

Sorry Davina, i'm a convert.
