  • Pink body cream yesterday. Today got the ivory foundation which looks far darker than my ivory Maybelline regular.

    It smells horrid. Far too strong, and like a kids product!
    I think they are meant to be a kids product due to the colours and flavors. I think they were trying with the yellow for some kind of candy type smell. It turns out like fly spray and is really quite vile. I have used the body cream that came today just the once and then returned the form straight back telling them I didnt use it cos like the last lot of flyspray stuff I got last year from them, the smell actually makes me feel sick._pale_:silenced: But I am worried now that I may be penalised in future cos I only used it once..

    I've got a big feeling it is a range I have seen before - is it Boots Fresh? I had a set a couple of years ago that was the same colours and the bottle was the same shape etc. They did a gorgeous strawberry pink one and I remember having a chocolate and a blue one, but can't remember what the blue one was.

    "Buy me, Lady", said the frock, "and I will make you into a BEAUTIFUL & WHOLE & COMPLETE human being".
    "Do not be silly", said the Man, "for a frock alone cannot do that".
    "True", said the Lady, "I will have the shoes and the bag as well".

    Lucy I would be very surpsied if it was Boots Fresh. I used to buy a lot of stuff from that range when it was on general sale.Green tea , fruity cranberry, milky,etc in shower gels and soaps etc. Now it only comes out at Xmas in gift sets so may have changed.

    Last year they sent me a lot of shower gels, face creams and body creams which all were of a similar colour and absolutely reeked of fly spray... They actually really did make me fell ill.
