We have moved to a new site. Do come and visit us! www.thewomensroomblog.com
Last week it was
books and TVs we were giving away, this week its beauty serums, we're working hard for you here on TWR.....
We have been kindly offered three bottles of Méthode Jeanne Piaubert's Radical Firmness Serum to test and comment on. So we need three readers who are prepared to sacrifice their wrinkles for a few words. As you know we are concerned you don't feel the need to all turn to cosmetic surgery and develop Women on Fifth complex ( see yesterday's post), so this should help keep things natural.
Méthode Jeanne Piaubert is the best selling range in France's Sephora stores (which are so much nicer that the Sephoras that popped up her a while ago). This new firmness serum promises all sorts on the press release, African papyrus to tighten the dermis (isn't that paper?) Japanese lily to 'enhance cohesion' and a revitalising of your fibroblasts ( I'm sure if I knew what these were, I'd agree that mine need a revamp too). Marvelous eh? Wonder if it works.
If you would like to trial a bottle of this (and it retails at £95 so it's a pretty cool give-away ladies) please leave a comment saying why you need firming up and the best three will be sent a bottle each. All we need in return is a few words on what you thought of it after you've trialed it for a couple of weeks. Your chance to say if one of these fancy creams actually works.
looking forward to your comments!
Well I have no sparkling repartee - I just look a bit haggard and feel a bit haggard at the mo and any help would be gratefully received!!!!!

Once a girl hits a certain age there are impressive proceedures she can turn to that do not require a general anesthetic. Just take a look at Felicity Kendall and Pamela Stevenson, pretty impressive.(Poor Patsy Kensit though,bit of a dodgy eye eh? A warning that you can get it drastically wrong).But what if, like me, you are needle phobic?Just the thought of it would add ten years to my face. So to have a pain free method that makes even a slight contribution to holding back the years, would be a blessing.

Well, this serum would certainly have its work cut out here at the moment. Quite apart from the teenage sons constantly pushing the boundaries, we have embarked on a house renovation which looked so neat and simple on paper, but in reality has turned life upside down. Everything has been covered in dust (including me) for 2 months and will be for probably 2 months more. I've had no kitchen for more than a month, so I have to go up to my mother's every evening to cook the meal. Now I'm cooking for 6 as she has Multiple Sclerosis - she will eat no fat, my sons will eat no lean.
Stressed and broke - is the serum up to it?

After reading this I just looked in the mirror. It's clear from the evidence presented that I can't fight the slackening/dullness etc. alone. Any assistance in the form of a high-end cream would be very much appreciated.

As a womens in her mid forties ,I would have to say that my fiboblasts are in need of some super-firming treatment! I would love to have the opportunity to try a little french luxury on my tired skin, and to be able to compare it to my usual Boots- own serum.

Impressive stuff ladies so far , but I'm open to more persuasion...no poetry yet I see (Beau?). We're going to leave this open until Wednesday night to see if there are any more wrinkles in need of help.....Ax

Because I look like Clement Freud's damn dog and if you can remember who Clement Freud is you will understand the need for the wonder cream.

In the warm light of my autumn years
The wisdom of Shakira echoing in my ears
I concede that hips and wrinkles do not lie,
Potions and diets for my attention may vie
But only one catches my eye.
The Women's Room once again my saviour
With Radical Firmness offers me relief
From the tiring quest for youth's flavour
I await the comforting reassurance,
the proof of my belief.

Well, if it works, I'll be the one at the Christmas pantomime shouting, 'Yes, I do believe in magic!'

Mother 53, 4 children, 1 ex husband, 1 partner (can't really say boyfriend), small furry dog and a busy job working in a primary school seeks new face!!!
Short on cash, low on confidence, and quite honestly too scaredy cat to have my face sliced up and stitched back!!
So a yummy, scrummy golden serum is my only hope.
My face really is in your hands...

I'm 66 & gravity has begun to have its way with my neck & face. I need something magnifique to tackle the problem.

I would like to be considered for your giveaway, because I don't believe that ANY of these rejuvenating lotions work. Maybe it'll change my mind? I live in New Zeaalnd, and our sun is very harsh here due to the hole in the ozone layer.

As a mother of twins who are 4, the last few years have really taken their toll in terms of lines and skin textureand I would love the opportunity to try something that might make a difference! I have sensitive skin which still feels as if some repair is possible. After extended maternity leave, I'm just about to return to teaching so something that literally and psychologically might give me lift would be welcome.
