It's Back: Formula Absolute Ultimate Sleep Cream

In the Marks & Spencer beauty advent calendar my Mum kindly bought me last year, was this rather inconspicuous looking tube of sleep cream. Now, I do plan (have been planning for months actually, but crappy health got in the way), mini reviews of each of the products in this calendar (because there were some real gems). Anyway this cream, I liked the sound of, but the plain packaging wasn't doing much for me, so it's likely not the type of thing I'd be attracted to try normally. How wrong I was! I would actually buy this for it's divine and dreamy scent alone. Applying it makes me all warm and fuzzy and I feel like I'm proper pampering myself, it feels so luxurious. I was hooked from the first application, so before I'd even finished the tube, I went online to buy more. I had to have it! I couldn't, it was sold out. This stuff has since been impossible to get hold of, like it's gone from everywhere and has a waiting list of thousands apparently! If you read the reviews, you'll see many similar stories to mine, having searched for the full size after trialling it and not being able to get hold of it. Weeks turned into months and I'll be honest I'd kind of given up hope that I'd get my hands on it.

This week though, I heard it was to come back online, but a quick check this morning and as usual I was directed to the waiting list page. I decided to check out the rest of the range and lo and behold what do I find? The Formula Absolute Ultimate Sleep Cream £22 (50ml). The exact stuff I was looking for! Well, I actually questioned it (and myself) like I'd stumbled upon some secret that was just too good to be true and I read and re-read the info multiple times to try and convince myself! I have no idea why, when you type it into the search, it takes you onto that holding page, instead click the link above and you'll be taken directly to the product where you can skip to the checkout with a jar (or two in my case) happy in the knowledge you'll be faking the 'good night sleep' look for the next wee while. FYI I would skip btw or maybe run, because I have no idea how long it'll stick around. Such is my obsession with this stuff, I kept the finished tube (above), because I have issues with throwing away things I can't get hold of and y'know sometimes I just need a wee sniff to remind myself how good this was!  Sidenote, I also added eye cream from the same collection (Formula Absolute Total Lip & Eye £18 for 15ml) to my order as it had good reviews too. I've been feeling like an old hag this year and really noticing the lines around my eyes, so I'll let you know how I get on with it!
