Hi everyone

I hope you are well!

This is just a quick head's up that the Elemis "Today's Special Value" (TSV) is now live on QVC.  This wonderful collection of skin and body care products is only £69.96 but worth a whopping £225, so is a huge saving if you are an Elemis fan.

Anyway on to what this fantastic Elemis Today's Special Value collection contains

1 x Cleansing Micellar Water (200ml) - infused with organic English rose water and soothing antioxidant rich chamomile, skin is gently cleansed, whilst the natural moisture barrier is maintained
1 x Pro-Collagen Super Serum Elixir (15ml) - offers superior moisturisation to leave your complexion feeling smoother, plumper and more youthful looking. Formulated with a unique blend of intelligent bio-actives such as anti-ageing tri-peptides, African birch bark, red seaweed and padina pavonica

The British Botanicals was a limited edition range brought out in 2015 for Elemis's 25th anniversary and we haven't seen it again since.  For those of you who have never used the range, I can best describe it as a cross between Lavender, Lemon with a hint of Eucalyptus, it is light fresh herbaceous type aroma. I used to use the British Botanicals body cream in my reflexology treatments and can recommend it.  If the formula is the same, it is a medium textured highly moisturising body cream so suited to normal to dry skin.

As for the skin care products in the collection, they are entirely new to me (yippee treat time) so I can't give you any feedback just yet.  However, if you head over to the main Elemis website, you will be able to read customer reviews on the Micellar Water, Pro Collagen Super Serum Elixir and Overnight Matrix cream.

If you or any of your loved ones are Elemis fans, then this is a fabulous offer that you cannot afford to miss out on.  You can buy it on pre-order here now. up until the end of Sunday 26/7/20 which is when QVC's Today's Special Value will end.

Until next time, take care
