Not very exciting, so will give this one a miss.

That looks like the eye cream, with the applicator. I got it in a previous TSV and was quite impressed.

Dame, your name always makes me laugh. There's another DF on QVC who, judging by her slutty "novels" is also Fondacox. :mysmilie_17:

75ml of product for nearly £76. Ouch.

two serums and an eye product wow what a price

Money is safe - Gatineau products never seems to work for me - the only range of their that did was the laser range in bright pink pacakaging from many years ago...

I suspect this is priced to sell steadily rather than rapidly... and in not-to-high volume.

It's a big, fat, no from me... I include a fair amount of Gatineau in my mountain of beauty products...

I presume they will be trotting out a Melatogenine one a bit closer to Christmas that may well be priced to sell in volume.

A big fat no from me as well. I prefer melatogenine to this, plus there wasn't there one called active Eclat which smelt of oranges.? I really liked that one.

I know Andrew always tells us that the saving on an AB TSV is several hundred pounds-ish, but when I did get an earlier TSV I really did not find it any more effective than the normal stuff, or PCMC, DEcleor etc.

I have seen a couple of presentations and do not understand why they have not quoted the full price of the eye cream. It is £95+£152 for the two serums but I looked on the Gatineau website and the full size eye cream is £60. Even allowing for the combos etc that Q get, I would have thought it would be at least £30 for a pot. But if they used full prices it would go from a value of £247 to £307. Seems odd not to include it IMHO.

For me it just speaks volumes about the mark up on expensive (overpriced...) skincare if the RRP is £250+ and they can afford to sell it at the £70 TSV price and still make a tidy profit.

20 minutes after reading this, I'm still recovering.

:mysmilie_15:

Just succumbed to this - I do like the eye cream and I'm coming to the end of a 30 ml night elixir I got in a previous TSV.

I feel the same about Elemis' pro collagen marine cream in particular - it's rrp is £50 for a 30ml pot, yet they throw it so many collections that are either TSV's, OTO's, bargain hunters, at an introductory price, or an event price etc.

There is no way this cream costs half as much as they sell it for, and I'd be surprised if it costs even a quarter of the price!

It would be interesting to know the sales figures for the Pro collagen marine cream 30ml pot sales. I wonder if anyone actually buys it on its own at the allegedly £50 rrp? It would seem an odd thing to do since, as you say, it's included in most tsvs or other collections.
