Okay, well, enough talk, I think it's time to get on with this review :)
I live in Denmark, and the first creme I tested I think is a Danish brand, so I'm actually not sure if it even sells outside of Denmark.. It is from a brand called Derma, and it is a paraben and perfume free creme, which is good, because it is not just parabens I try to avoid in my beauty products, but also perfume and alchohol are two ingredients I would like NOT to have in my cremes and deodorants!
The creme from Derma have a very thick consistency, and I'm really not used to that, so it felt a bit more like a body creme to me, but it was actually very easy to apply and it absorbed fast and did not feel to greasy on the skin. All in all it was a nice creme, and it was only about $19. I would definately buy this creme again!
The next creme I tested was this one from Nuxe called Crème Fraîche. It is a brand I had no earlier experiences with, so I didn't know what to expect from it, but I instantly thought it would be good, because it has a luxurious feel to it, I don't know why :) Maybe it's because it's more expensive, it is about $40. This creme is also a bit thick in the consistency, but it absorbs easy, and it just left my skin feeling really good. After I had been using this creme for a week, I could definately see a diference on my skin, like it just looked healthier and had a healthy glow to it. So I liked that! :) The only think I did not like about this creme is the smell. I guess it has no perfumes in it, because it just smells ecological, that is really the best word for it: it smells of the products that are in it. And that is of course a good thing, but it is not a nice smell though.. BUT I guess I could get used to the smell, and although this creme was more expensive, I would definately buy it again! It is worth the money.
The last creme I have been using this month is a creme I have been using for the longest time, and it's the Clinique Moisture Surge. Now this creme is probably the reason why I think all other cremes have a thick consistency, since this creme is obviously a gel creme, and I've used it for such a long time that I'm now used to this consistency. But it is really like a gel, very light in the consistency, but it makes it last longer I think. This creme is also in the expensive end, it costs about $50 (all these prices are of course the prices on the Danish market, so if you are in e.g the States, it might be cheaper). It is a good creme, but it is also expensive. I would chose it again though, because it has a nice smell and a light consistency, which makes it a good creme for summer. And it is just one of those cremes I always keep returning to.
The last creme I haven't actually tried yet, but I thought I would just mention it, since it is a cheaper creme without parabens. It is the Garnier Youthful Radiance. I start using this creme tomorrow, and I have already checked the consistency: it is quite light, not a gel creme, but a really light creme. It has a really fresh scent, but if you don't like a face creme with a scent, I don't think this would be the creme for you, because it is quite scented. I tried to apply a little bit on my hand just now, and it absorbed quickly and left my hand feeling soft. I'm exited to start using it on my face, and it feels like a good creme, but maybe with a bit too much scent to it. I think this creme is about $20, maybe even less.
Okay, this was quite a long and ramply review I feel, but I hope it was useful to some :)
Bye for now!
