“Cult” products. Are they just hype used by beauty editors? What makes a cult product a “cult” product anyway? Well I have made it a mission to work my way through the list, starting with eve lom’s cleanser.
Eve Lom is one of those skin care lines that separates the maybelline girls from the true beauty product connoisseur. Simple packaging, exclusive availability and a price tag that keeps away the riff-raff, this is a purchase for those willing to invest in their face.
I bought my first tub in London, where the cost for a 100ml tub is about US$90. I saved a few pounds by buying it on ebay, but still felt guilty.
The cleanser is more like a balm, with a bit of texture to it. According to the complex instructions, you warm a dab up in your hand then massage it over the face using a sequence of moves meant to stimulate the skin and help detox through the lymph nodes. After the massage you cover your face with the muslin clothe (included) that has been soaked in warm water.
So… was it worth it? Almost. I loved it. But when the tub was finished I couldnt’ bring myself to buy another and am now looking for a similiar product that costs less. Sorry Eve, credit crunch has bitten.
