After having my baby boy and taking on a much larger mortgage than we probably can afford, I thought it was time to swap my favourite, yet most expensive, secret beauty product - my Clarins night cream for a much cheaper yet still effective alternative.

The Verdict

Soap and Glory: I'll be honest, I chose Soap and Glory Night in Shining Armour night cream as an alternative for no other reason than it's funky, retro packaging and the fact that it was £27 cheaper. I was pleasantly surprised. This night cream has a thick texture but applies really well. A little bit goes a long way. The main thing I notice is that my skin feels really moisturised, smooth and soft in the morning after applying the night before. The pastel, metallic pink jar looks funky on the dresser too. I am not so keen on its perfumed scent but I'm happy to compromise this for the price. It is definitely a great cheaper alternative and good value for money. 7/10.

Clarins - You still can't beat this night cream! Whenever I applied this god send of a night time beauty product, I always woke up with radiant skin. Skin felt velvety smooth, was visibly glowing and hydrated. Elasticity restored. The texture is gorgeous, light and creamy to apply. Clarins describes it as 'eight hours of sleep in a jar' and I couldn't agree more. What more could a thirty year old mum need? The real deal. 10/10.
