    I am a Clinique Dramatically Different girl - and I think it's worth the money :D My Superdrug often has Lancome products at good prices
    Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!

    Well done on the ebay sales sarah, am in awe of your parcelling, but sadly just as pleased with my charity bag packing skills ;) congrats on the weight loss too.

    I use the No 7 Protect & Perfect range, but have fairly normal skin although rather too many lines for my liking :(

    Gwen, get your goop from Boots with points & freebie - no contest :D

    Argh! It's out of stock! I could go in and get it though, if they've got it in store I guess :huh: I will investigate new cheaper moisturisers. I thought I'd try Soap and Glory's Glow Job last month...after all I like their stuff...and a bit of colour will be nice on my pale skin in Spring...tried it once...I looked like I'd been Tango'd! :eek:
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    The thing was I tried it when I was away for the weekend with friends. They saw me putting it on and the light wasn't too good in the bedroom, so I couldn't see what it looked like very easily. I went into the bathroom to have a better look, but on the way there one of my friends looked at me in horror and sort of said 'Erm, I'm not sure about that...maybe you should just wipe it off and borrow my Clinique...' That's what I did, but I tried to palm it off on them and they weren't having any of it, so I'm still stuck with the stuff (although I haven't used it again) :eek:

    Gwen, do you have a Lush branch nearby? Almost everything I use comes from there now - I have dry and very sensitive skin plus eczema. Currently using Skin's Shangri-La which is expensive but v v good - they also do other moisturisers for dry and combination skin. If you pop in and ask, they will usually give you a tiny pot as a sample to try for a couple of days.

    (I love Lush as the ingredients are properly natural, not just the usual chemical nonsense with greenwash branding - I have some training in this area so get fussy about it! And they are very ethical about their sourcing and testing.)
