They had the Collection 2000 Skylash mascaras back in my local today. I got one of these last time they were in and it was the best mascara I've had in years...so had to get another this time of course!

Still no Neutrogena face wash/mask, though I did pick up the pink grapefruit Neutrogena face wash in 99p stores a few weeks back so can't complain

It just tittles me when you get that little insight into someone else's life and it isn't what you expected to see, it reminds you that stereotyping on appearance is a pretty silly thing to do. The older lady who feels sexy and treats herself to toys, the niqab-wearing girls who might be bejewelled underneath their black cloaks... we're all people and we all have our secrets!

Just realised my old one is called Skyscraper. Same packaging design so hope it's the same formula. They had a choice of regular and waterproof.

Thanks to those who mentioned the Flexitol oil spray. I wouldn't have given it a second glance otherwise but picked some up on your recommendation and it's gorgeous! Not at all greasy, blends in very quickly, full of natural ingredients and smells lovely

Also picked up some of the Rimmel Lycra Pro Nail Polish and Collection Skyscraper mascara - both of which I've used before and really like.

Picked up some of these colour-changing LED Lily lights for a garden party but they also make a sweet little bedside ornament. I think they look a lot more expensive than 50p each (£1 for 2pk) and will get some more to add (unpackaged) to gift hampers as a pretty decoration which can also be used:

Was contemplating the Flexitol so I will give it a go now it's been tried, tested and recommended by a fellow MSEr.

The only thing I'd say is that those who don't like the smell of lavender might be put off by the smell - I found that the lavender fragrance comes through fairly strongly when first applied but that smell does fade quickly and doesn't linger on the skin.

The bottles come sealed so it might be hard to 'try before you buy' but I'd say it's definitely worth trying. The oil is absorbed into the skin so much more quickly than other similar oil products I've tried. I've only just started using it so can't say how well it reduces the appearance of wrinkles/scars etc but it does make my skin feel soft and nourished and so far I'm impressed!
