Botox in a bottle

A quick report from the land of the erstwhile consumer where sentiment, like the dollar, is in the doldrums. Although not advertised in the windows, there are quite a few sales on within the shops and I managed to find a Diane von Furstenberg suit for under £100. One thing I have noticed in my brief (honestly!) retail research is that a few department stores are promoting a face cream called Freeze 24.7 which they claim "diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles within minutes of application." The shop assistant persuaded me to try some around one eye and it did seem to do the trick. The only problem with this skin improving scam is that the better one part looks, the worse the rest seems to be. Let's not get into the debate about the merits of liposuction in St Lucia versus tummy tucks in Trinidad.
