And a Boots time delay instant eye brightening cream - WIBA - Yes, if I could, but think they have discountinued it. Bought with a voucher about 2 years ago, shame it was really nice. Anyway off to update my sig...

I love that eye brightening cream too. Wish they hadn't discontinued it! Luckily, I think I have one or two in my stash Must get round to doing a picture!!

P.S. Sorry for all the posts I've done just after each other.. I'm catching up before going to bed, and keep telling myself I'm going after reading just one more post.....!

I got the M&S foundation brush too (read a review on this forum!). Well actually, bf persuaded me that I should get their set of 4 brushes, as I'd then get 4 brushes for £15 rather than 1 brush for £8. The brushes are all really nice, and I'm very glad I bought them.

Wish my OH would make suggestions like that!!! :rotfl:

I just finished a wee mini tub of 'the righteous butter'.
I'm starting to think I maybe use too much? The minis only do me two applications, is this normal? It's not like I have a particularly large area to cover either...hmmm....
I also finally got round to replacing (well sort of...) my lost foundation. The Benefit girl in Frasers stopped me and I just could not resist, so i thought here's an opportunity to try something new, never had Benefit foundation and only use their 'You Rebel Light' tinted moisturiser. Anyhoos, the very flattering assistant suggested my skin was 'good enough to get away without foundation' *blush* and I am now in possession of 'Some Kinda Gorgeous', a sponge on make up that turns to powder on your skin. I have to say it really is rather lovely on. Maybe it's been all the pampering recently but my skin is particularly clear and I never even had my monthly breakout this month! Result!
So, hopefully I'll get on with this new make up and maybe be able to drop foundation altogether, I'm quite embarrassed to say I've now been wearing foundation for 23 years more or less everyday
So, off to bed with me, been a long day and I think I feel a cold coming on.
Also, apologies to Tara, I really should stop posting Body Shop glitches, sorry toots!

You're forgiven!!!

That's lovely about your skin, that 'Some Kinda Gorgeous' sound like good stuff! I have Dr Feelgood and hardly ever use it... must start.

I agree about the mini products. I found that my mini Righteous Butter (50ml) only lasted me about 3 applications!! But a big tub of Body Shop body butter (200ml) will last me for about 16!!! Weird!

I just sold a Primark dress I didn't expect to sell on eBay... will only make about £3 after fees/costs but think it cost me £1 on the clearance rail!

I'm torn between selling my Red freebie (full size) Aveda shampoo and conditioner after seeing how much they go for, could easily clear £20 on them! But I kind of want to use them as I never buy luxury haircare brands for myself. What should I do? Stop being silly and just list them?

So did you like it?????

Although my eyelashes are quite long, I think they're not as thick as they used to be:(, the Superdrug 2True masacara says on the side "lengthens and separates" but the L'Oreal one I've been using is volumising and thickens my lashes in one swoop. So for me, it didn't do as good a job as I really need some thickening power too!!!

It actually reminds me very much of Maybelline Greatlash, in the pink tube, which doesn't really suit me either for the same reason, but I know lots of people really rave about, so maybe people who like Greatlash would do well to try the £1.95 Superdrug one.

It's fine for work though, so I will finish it off and the No 7 mini too and treat myself to the L'Oreal Volumising one in March!

Thanks for the recommendation though tara, hope my review will be useful to others, definitely worth a try at that price:)

Glad you liked it, though shame it wasn't as good as you'd hoped.

I have very long lashes so just need a thickening mascara, and this works well on mine! Weird. It also never flakes, which is crucial - I like a mascara to stay on my lashes, not my cheeks!

Thanks for the review xoxo

Bronnie

You're right the 2True one really doesn't flake off at all and scores quite well in my absent-minded-late-night-at-work-eye-rubbing test too!:p

Funny Bronnie, I find that I have no problems with the no7 ending up all over my face when I'm on nights either. I do rate this product despite the weird wand it has! (Even though I did poke myself in the eye with it the other day lol!)

Will catch up later on the few pages i've missed, but wanted to say i finished a Liz Earle Tonic this morning. I've got another bottle in stock but am saving it so have started a body shop cucumber water instead.
