Be quick they only have 500 packs to giveaway! Conditions apply."

I just got this so be quick as they only have 500 to give away. No idea what the sample size or if maybe it's a full size as I couldn't find the details but but at least you get a chance to trial it I guess. It sounds interesting :)  It didn't work the first time I tried fyi but the second it did.[/color]

I tried to edit that coding out but it wouldn't let me.

just read the articles, are you going to try it?

I just ordered one - I think it's the 50 ml size. It was $7.95 for shipping. Be interesting to try it.

Oh very interesting. I'll admit, i didn't even read the article. I just jumped to the page and brought the item  since i only had to pay shipping. From what it looks like on my order recipt, the item i got really is 50ml, so if that turns up i will be pretty impressed.

My impulse side got the better of me again haha because i would be a bit dissapointed if i only got a sample sachet! Now off to read that article

Heya peeps :)

Yeah I'm going to try it Macs and try to reverse engineer the stuff and make my own hah - I live in hope but I have been inspired to do stuff like that lately.

I'll ask BR if they'll list it and then I'll write a review. If it's the 50ml it's well worth the cost of the postage which is three days by courier. Looking forward to receiving it, I think it looks good :)

Pithifrin - thanks for the info. I'm using Safari and its sucks as a browser, I didn't seem to get an order confirmation as such, just a number. I'll be interested to read everyone's results.

BinaryBeauty - I will be dissapointed too! That's why I jumped on it, too good to be true normally but I think this might be for real. 

*happy happy joy joy* hehe. Gawd I'm in an odd mood today! I think it's called 'happy' lol 

Thanks for sharing. Been wanting to try this for a while now! Can't wait for it to arrive.

I'll watch out for your review. It sounds really good from what I read about it.

I got mine this morning and it's the full 50ml size, beautifully packaged too. I haven't opened it yet. I hope it lives up to the marketing promises :)

I am having a bit of a dilemma over one of the ingredients though, hrm.

I keep tryingto get a sample but they code doesn;t seem to work as I still get to the checkout with the charge -Don;t know why -Have any of you had same problem ?

Hiya, I had that problem too when I first tried but tried again in succession and it worked. Its been a week I think now, I hope you manage to get one and that they haven't all gone already :(

Hope it works for you. Mine arrived last week and its such a great deal, when normally this is so pricey. The only worrying thing is if I love it and want to repurchase, the price tag is pretty high! 

Mine arrived at the start of the week, and i have to say i was really impressed that it was a full size bottle for only paying shipping. Thats a steal. AmandaJane, can i ask what ingredient is concerning you? I have to be honest, i havent even read the ingredients list yet

Here you go BinaryBeauty:

Ingredients: Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe), Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower Oil), Isopropyl Palmitate (Palm Oil), Glyceryl Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Glycolic Acid, Squalane, Lactic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower Oil), Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Stearyl Alcohol, Sodium Hydroxide, Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (HyalurosmoothTM, R Lipoic Acid, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber Hydrosol), Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate (Syn®ake), Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10), Acetyl Hexapeptide?3, Wildcrafted Resina Propoli (Propolis), Wildcrafted Mahonia Aquifolium (Oregon Grape), Organic Olea Europaea (Olive Extract), Wildcrafted Melissa Officinalis (Lemon Balm), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Phytic Acid, Phospholipids, Tocopheryl (Antioxidant), Lecithin, Pyrus Malus (Apple), Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon), Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane), Cymbopogon Schoenanthus (Lemongrass), Butylene Glycol, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Palmitate, Sclerotium Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Xanthan Gum, Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea), Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Citrus Sinensis (Sweet Orange) Essential Oil

It's the palm oil that concerns me firstly. I might email them and ask them where they source it from. This list of ingredients is on a forum online, not from the MitoQ website though. I must do more research.

I am not noticing any difference yet after five days of use but will keep on applying it twice daily. If it has good results it's not cheap to purchase afterwards and that concerns me too. The thing is they recommend it as a supplement to your usual skincare routine rather than a replacement. It's also a shame the product is not recyclable.

I suppose it would work out less expensive than buying other brands that don't work anyway. I'm tempted by the supplements too and wondering how well they would work together.

How are you ladies finding it? 
 

I'm confused, so you put this expensive thing in the cart, and the discount makes it free? And all you pay is shipping?

Yep. I decided not to get it in the end because I still have quite a few samples to work my way through. But I'm keen to read people's reviews on how they found it.

Yup that right shazatron! You add the product you your cart, and put the discount code in, which makes the product free, and then you just pay around $7 for shipping which i thought was a steal.

I havent started using mine, but will start next week and let you know how it goes. 

Yeah and keep trying it if it doesn't work the first time. I had to try it it twice before the discount was applied.

I'm really glad that I started using it now. I just went and looked in the mirror (shock horror lol) and I can honestly say that *something* I am doing is working, since Monday when I started using it.

My fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes are minimised and the marionette lines between my nose and mouth are significantly less. I don't know if it is this product but I will keep using it twice a day and update my review in a month or so. I don't think the claims they are making are unreasonable and I sure will be buying it if it works well. I just quit smoking early this year so will be trying to undo some of the damage I've done with that for all those years. With the money I've been saving I will buy this I think :)

Hey ladies,

Just a tip - check the expiry date on the product if you're not going to use it straightaway.  I'm currently using MitoQ (I fancied a change from my usual EA capsules) and noticed the use by date on the last one I picked up from the pharmacy is September this year.

I'm not sure if they all have a relatively short shelf life, I never checked on the first bottle, but thought I'd let you know :)

Love Nat xx

Ah thanks for that info. I think the reason the serum was free is because it's dated as of later this year too but I didn't realise the supplements were the same.

I will check it out before I buy. Apparently they have only just began to be available through pharmacies too, previously only available online.

For anyone that is interested if you go to their website they have a link to the TV review too.

Edit - it was Tuesday that I got it, not Monday. The days blur sometimes lol

Thanks for the heads up Nat, I'll have to check the expiry date asap! 

Wow! thats, for lack of a better term, cray cray. Hahaha. Will remember to check use by date, danke Nat! I should check the useby date for the Kiehls one I have... :| why must things expire!!! 

I know right?!

I have a Lush solid body butter that I shoved in the fridge in January and have just re-discovered...can't find a use by, so I'm cracking into that after my Dragon Egg bath tonight!

xox

I didn't know Lush made solid Body butters. I probably should know that though haha they make everything else. I want to try that dragon egg bath bomb! It looks so preeetttyyy

I've never tried solid body butters, so I'm quietly happy I re-found it.  Will it be like soap?  Will it be slippery?  I'm a-gonna find out!

I love my Dragon's Egg bombs, it's my GOT ritual, (Picture a Sean Bean meme - "one does not simply watch GOT, they experience it") Although now I'm just mourning 10 months until the next series.

xox

 

God, don't even mention GoT at me. Georgie boy better get his a into g and get the next book written!! Even though the show has gone off tangent and isn't even really following the books any more (cue fiance and I in bed watching 'that never happened in the books' lol). That does sound like a pretty amazing bath, though. Would be even better if there was a toy dragon inside! Mother of dragons anyone? Hahaha 

I love the King of Skin body butter. It's the original in shower body conditioner. If you're using it in the bath, don't leave it in the water or it will melt away to nothing!

Firsty Lady this Dragons Egg sounds amazing, I must have some in my life lol.  And even though we have moved, I am yet to have a Lush life changing experience.  I am wanting to try those new Bossy Cosmetics bath scoops, have you tried those yet? xx

Oh and I just purchased one too, couldn't resist at the $7.95 courier cost.  So excited to try as I love serums.  Can't wait to review it and also read all your lovely reviews too.  Eek, now to play the waiting game, I also have another Bossy Order coming too.

Oh just remembered I bought some serum from Oh Natural that I need to use too, oops, shouldn't really have purchased this but for the price how could I not.  For those that are using it, any differences in skin texture or look etc yet? xxx

Oh and I was looking on their site, the product they are giving away has an expiry date of September this year because it states stock clearance on the actual product.  Check it out here if you want to have a look xxx

I have the bubble scoops and I love them - I have lavender. I have reviewed them I am far too lazy to link them to you right now :-) Also thanks for that info! I checked my Kiehls spensy stuff (luckily I won it mwahha) expiry is 18 months. So it's still good for another year-ish. YAY lol I've used not even 1/4 of it :D

hmm i'm not quite sure if thats right Mumof3munchkins The one i got was from this link, and it is not discounted for clearance because of the expiry date, so if the date was that soon im sure they would have stated it like they have on the one you found ? I could be wrong though, so still need to check my date but here is the one i got http://www.mitoq.com/nz/free-serum.html
 

Yeah I clicked that link too and it had a different price and everything - but then I used Amanda's link and it was normal. So I have no idea hahaha. I wasn't going to tell mother, couldn't be bothered - but now I have and she's getting one too (thanks to me cos she's lazy and won't do it herself lmfao)

Sorry hun, I kind of just put 2 and 2 together when I saw it and thought it tied in with what First Lady said he he he, sorry sweets xxxx I could be wrong and it would be great if that is the case because it gives me longer to use my other products lol x

shazatron101 - I'm totally GOT obsessed too.  And seriously, I don't want to order Mr Martin around (he might retaliate and kill off Tyrion), but dude needs to hurry up.  I mean I know the show writers say he's clued them in a little on what's happening, but well I'm old school.  I like to read the book before watching the adaptation! 

I also need more episodes in a series.  Give me 20.  I just want to rewatch it as soon as it's finished.

Ah can you imagine, little dragons in the dragon's egg.  Or a GOT inspired egg, so it looked, well, real!

worldofsooziewong - Ooo so you use the solid butters in the shower?!

Mumof3munchkins - how do you feel about glitter?  There's a fair amount in the Dragon's Egg, The Husband laughs when Milky's been in there with me and we both all sparkly.  But it's a gorgeously relaxing bath, I'm a huge fan of this one.  Some of the other bombs I'm a bit meh, but this one just feels so special!  I haven't tried much Bossy yet, none of the new ranges - I really must place an order, I read the reviews and well at this rate it might as well be '1 of everything please'!

xox

He he he I love glitter, just not on my nails as its a bugger to get off lol.

I so need to get these Dragon's Eggs.  Sorry, where did you get them from again hun?

You totally need to make an order hun, and the aromatherapy inhalers are so good especially the anger and PMT one, amazeballs x

I think he needs a bit of a push, I swear to the 7 gods, the god of light, the many face god... if he doesn't get the next book out before the next season there will be BIG trouble lol. I'll riot (in my backyard... with the cats). Fiance and I have already come up with our own theories as to what will happen in the next season ;-) But there definitely needs to be more episodes, 10 is not enough to cover one book! It drives me insane they miss so much sttuuuuffffff. Hrmmmppffff. 

Nat, yes I use the Lush body butters at the end of a shower, rub over wet skin and it's like an in shower conditioner. Most of them, like Buffy, are also scrubs but King of Skin is smooth. Do you know which one you have? I couldn't find any expiry dates on mine. I don't think they really go off, being solid. I did have a Buffy go mouldy once though as I didn't let it dry out before putting the lid in the tin. 

I've been trying to get Buffy. Is it back in stock yet, have heard really good reviews.

Oh and guess what was shipped this morning, my free sample, super fast, and a $25 off discount. Amazing x

mumof3munchkins, I've had my Buffy stashed since the Boxing Day sale so didn't even know it was out of stock. 

OMG its back in stock, dang I may have to make an order but I just bought a new pack of Bossy Scrub lol.  Will buy some when its all gone I think x

Really would love to get this but I have so many other products sitting around.... whaaaa!!!! Im liking the sound of this Lush stuff though? ??? Ohhh dearrr..

I gave up on trying to order this as the code would not work -I even emailed the Company and they cam beck and said yes the code is working ??? Still didn't for me -I will watch and see what you guys think of it before I purchase.

Ahhhh so I ordered for my mum... Somehow she got two bottles of it. !?!?! I hope she hasn't been charged again, she said yesterday she hadn't... But that's so weird lol

That's odd Shazzatron - maybe they are dealing with a lot of orders and they got mixed up. I can imagine the process could become a bit of a nightmare though, so many people ordering etc.

How's everyone doing on theirs? Would love to see some befores and afters :D

This is definitely my last post for the night lol. I just finished my bottle up this evening and thought I'd come and check out the date I got it so I know how long it lasted.

I've been using between two and three pumps morning and night time and covering my face and neck. I have seen improvement in my skin but I don't know if it's the MitoQ or other things I am doing differently, like using the Olay brush and organic products I didn't have when I first got the MitoQ. It's probably a mix of everything.

I like it I must say as it's so easily absorbed but it's a tad on the pricey side to keep up long term. 

I just checked the date of this thread. It says I posted it a month ago. Wow, I thought it was at least two months, just goes to show I have time distortion lol.

I'm interested in reading how other people got on with it as well :)

I haven't even opened my bottle yet. I don't know why, but think i might pass it onto someone who might really enjoy it!
