  • I managed to get two of the hatboxes. One for me to try and one as a birthday present for my sister. I was considering "accidently" leaving the £50 tag on it! ;)

    I thought I'd see what the fuss was about and I have to say I'm unimpressed. The cleanser was ok to start with but now stings my skin. The rest of it is ok but nothing special. Some of the body lotions smell nice but not enough to convince me to go back to normal products after using only natural ones for that last 18 months or so.

    I've not been impressed with any of the sales this year. I think I'm becoming a fussy shopper and have finally managed to wean myself off the "but look, you save more than you spend" habit!

    My only one peice of sales tat this year was a cellulite massager from Boots. It was half price and as I really can't get to the gym at the moment I thought I'd give it a go! Will make the husband laugh if nothing else! Thing is, we've now decided to try for a baby and you can't use anti-cllulite gels when you're pregnant so I need to see if it will work with normal body oils, otherwise that will be going back too! :o

    I want to spend money but I cna't find anything I want enough to spend it on - darn you Martin MoneySaver, you may finally have weaned your way in!:rotfl:

    So Im taking it soap and glory is good?

    Never really looked at it as only use cruelty free stuff but then noticed it says not tested on animals on the packs, I need to go and look at the ingredients see if Its animal product free too as Im vegan. Is it a Boots own range as I dont use those or an independant company?

    Should really do some googling to find out but sounds like its very popular on here!

    Not that I can order any as need to sort virus protection on here before I can spend online again!

    Its an independent company, their products are stocked by Boots and Harvey Nichols. Here's the link for their website, it may help you with checking out the ingredients or at least in contacting them about it.

  • I picked up the No7 heated eyelash curlers for 6.50 rather than 15.00 in the sale and I love them !!! I nearly bought the ruby & millie ones for 20.00 but I'm pleased I got the No7 ones, they are fab and come with a 2 year guarantee. I have bought a couple to put away for pressies throughout the year. I hate to say since I discovered this site I've become even more obsessed with shopping ;)

    I dont blame you. I think Id leave the price tag on too.

    Ive never tried S & G but was thinking about it because a lot of people love it. Im going to get my friend one for her birthday but when I went back to the store they only had the fresh stuff left. :rolleyes:

    I got my e-mail Tuesday and picked it up today, well part of it!! They told me to call after 3.30pm and it was there. Only problem is, because it's a small store they don't get another delivery until Monday, so the 2nd part of my order will be there then :T
