It's regularly on 3 for 2. Last time I got 2 day cream and 1 night, this time 2night and 1 day, so I've now got 2 complete sets in stock, which will last me until end of summer I reckon. Don't usually stockpile it, but it was the most useful thing I could think of to get with the stuff I had to exchange.

have you got a cream you're using atm? Don't want to be responsible for leading you astray!...............on the other hand if it's a points purchase........

It does make sense to buy when on offer Just maybe not as much as I had been buying before :rotfl::o

I have a simple cream at the moment, just a daycream and it's not even the anti-aging one (not that my skin should really need that at the moment :undecided) so it's really quite light. Also have a dermalogica one upstairs, but again it seems a bit light at the moment - skin is really quite dry/dehydrated.

And I do have something (also a pedicure set - to get the free bag ) that I could take back... oh Bronnie, you've twisted my arm :D

You have no idea what getting older is FM:D

You know what I mean

It is though, was never terribly greasy as a teenager, and certainly combination but even my forehead is dry at times now. I'm guessing (hoping!) that it's dehydration due to central heating and -14 conditions outside (!) and not enough water (having a glass here as I type :T). Failing that, I'm gonna slather it in cream and hope for the best :A

Also, inspired by michael pollan, I'm looking at my diet (eleven o'clock fruit, anyone? ). Really like his simple, but really rather obvious, 'eat food. not too much. mostly plants'. But that's another thread!

Well another day stuck inside here... booooooo!

Our city is covered in black ice and the cars are slipping down our road so not risking it in the slightest. It's probably a blessing as I got £200 of expenses back today and a cheque for £100 I put in the bank cleared- before this challenge I would've headed down to Boots and blown a good proportion of it on stuff I didn't need so it's going in my savings instead yey!!!!

Still don't NEED anything- think I could actually get to the end of the month without buying anything :T 18 days to go!!!

I must admit to really liking the FCUK toiletries. They seem to always have a lovely light fragrance.

Ohhh, I love the body souffle and the body cream that comes in the pinky coloured tubs. They smell divine and make my skin feel amazing (sis didn't like it though, she said it made her skin feel 'waterproof', whatever that means I did resist temptation to point out to her that her skin was already quite waterproof ).

i was looking for a stapler in my desk and i found a load of hair products and my heart sank .

This happened to me too! I was looking for an ingredient in the kitchen and discovered that I'd used one of the cupboards to store products in - mostly moisturisers, hairsprays and shampoos, and then forgotten all about them . I was horrified.

Did you read my post the other day about returning the pedicure set?? !!
That pedicure set turned out to be such a bargain!!

How old are you FM?

What I like really like best about P&P are the firming and lifting qualities. I find it brilliant for this. If you're not sagging yet (:rotfl:), I wouldn't spend the money on it to be honest. I would suggest it's really for the over 40's. ( I don't know how old that damn irritating woman they use in their commercials is??)

I know a lot of younger women use it too but I believe, manufacturer's play on the insecurities of younger women too. I only believe these creams have a temporary lifting and firming effect, it's effective, but stop using it and your skin is the same as if you'd never used. To me, having been through this stage, using an firming and lifting cream for years when you don't need it , won't make the slightest bit of difference to when you do need it!!

If your skin hasn't yet started to sag/lose firmness (and believe me you'll notice when it does :eek:), I personally wouldn't pay this much for this cream when basically you need to just moisturise and get an SPF.

Sorry if I go on about it, but have you tried oil cleansing? It's wonderful for balancing the skin. My skin is very even, dare I say, 'glowing', now and no dryness/tightness issues.

That's my opinion, for what it's worth!!!

Bronnie

Oh that's interesting, just read the advertising blurb for P&P in the link on freyasmum's post. They hardly mention it's firming and lifting powers, mainly it's moisturising, wrinkle reducing qualities!

They're obviously targetting it at a market across the range of ages. It is a good product!!

Maybe best to just ignore my ramblings! Think I'm just confusing the issue!!

I might have to unsubscribe from the MSE newsletter. I avoid the grabbits board but now Martin has informed me of various offers via the newsletter. BAD MAN!!!!

Ok just decided to check my make up cupboard out and I am VERY ashamed to report that I have counted 25 Juicy Tubes :eek: Plus all my other lipglosses/ lipsticks.... I am actually shocked at his and dread to do the maths!
