In Essence Skin Care

Ewww – will avoid thank you!

GG, imidiazolidinyl urea is a formaldehyde releaser, I think the effect is the same as having formaldehyde in your skincare, which is a no-no for pregnant women/people trying to get pregnant.

Thanks for the warning music. I`m going to google it as I`m not sure what that is exactly – sounds a little scary (I know what urea is – but not urea combo`s – if I can call it that lol)
Style Queen – I`d say it was a joke – our Gem is very funny lol
Princess – I thought they`d be better as they are SO much more expensive! I think I`ll get some samples first and see how I go – I haven`t even had a chance to open any of the products I purchased last Saturday – I am going to give my hands a pampering tonight though – I`ll let you know what the hand scrub is like.

Style Queen, if you search “”Blackdiamond”” on the posts, then you might be able to figure out what`s that about.

i thought she was the same person, theres a comment in anything goes she made towards me and im not sure how o take it! lol, was it a joke? if someone could check it out and advise me id like it. but thats off topic. i`ve got some of their oils too which are great, let us know how it goes with the range GG

Yep she is! 🙂 Just a bit of a name change there…

Sorry off the topic, but is Gem xxx the same person as Gemini 69? Been away from the site for a few days & everything is changing.

GG, I`ve tried the serum sample. Smell gorgeous, feel lovely and moisturising enough for my neck (too scared to try on the face, just in case, as my face is quite sensitive). The lady in my local branch told me to bring empty little containers so that I can try the combo moisturiser & cleanser but I kept on forgetting. So I guess if you`re interested to try the specific product that they don`t have the sample you can always try taking your own container and ask for little bit to try…

If you like them I suggest you wait for another GWP, the lady said they always have some sort of GWP at one time or another, taking turns between Myer and DJ. Few months ago they had buy 1 get 1 free with equal/lesser value for the skincare – very good value. Do check the ingredients list though, as some contains imidiazolidinyl urea – not good if you`re trying for a baby.

this is the brand that got me into aromatherapy a million years ago. i bought the wooden box with 10 oils for $160 back in the day and was hooked from then on.

their products are ok but i don`t think they are as nice as they could be and i do think they are a little over priced. they don`t really smell devine and the range is a bit limited. i`d probably use Natio over In Essence just because i think they seem on par.
.
that`s just my opinion.

I got the Age Arrest day cream from BH as one of my turquoise gifts, but I couldn`t use it, it was too harsh for my sensitive skin. I gave it to my fiance though and he loved it, he was convinced that it was reducing his wrinkles. The only thing he didn`t like about it was the smell, it had a strange smell, slightly musty.
