I'm busting to finish work and go check my Adcard! Lol
Do you know what that balm is for, seems to say on Superdrugs site its a body lotion? thought it was for your face lol xx

So it does!! Right at the bottom. The rest of that range is definitely for face so I just think that's a bit of a website error.

So if it is for your face, what are you supposed to do with it? Moisturise, Cleanse, Make Up base, etc? Lol, Im usually really up to date with hair and beauty products, but this ones slipped the net! xx

Gotcha - I'd use it like I use my Avon Flash Facial, after cleansing before my spf moisturiser or night cream.

LOL - "night cream" - sounds like something my granny would use! Anyway, you know what I mean. Guess from its benefits that its best used during the day??

Ha ha, I love 'doing' my night cream when I get in bed, I am like a Granny, night cream, specs off, pjs on, cup of tea and a book! then I pop my sleep mask on! Sound like a nutter!

I see what its for, I will invest if I can find any in our Superdrug.

Whilst Im on, anyone know anything that can get rid of redness around the nose (like in the crack), my skin is spot on, but I cannot do anything about this redness! Even £20 a tube anti-redness creams dont work

If you haven't noticed, this is my favourite thread ever. Whilst it's not particularly a beauty product, I spend £££s on glossy mags for fashion and beauty ideas. Recently in London I was handed a free paper, which is on par with most of the expensive mags I read. Its weekly and free and readable online at www.stylist.co.uk xx

I have this problem and most concealers just don't stick, but I have been using a mint colour corrector mineral concealer and use a eyeshadow blender brush to buff it into the area around my nose, lasts all day. I got it free as part of my sampler kit from Signature Minerals. You only pay for the postage to the UK (about $7/8) and you can choose up to 6 items. I ordered all of their concealers which come in little jars and the mint and yellow (under eye circles) are great. I probably won't need to look at buying any for at least year as i have been using it for months now and still have over half a pot left.

Thanks for all the tips.

I tried vaseline on my feet but prefer cream. The best I've found (and I've tried lots) is IKEA NUTJA foot cream. It's £2.59 or £1.94 with a family card. I appreciate not everybody is near a store and they don't do it online but I stocked up on it when I visited my son. It's far better than any of the expensive ones I've used.

Cheers, I used to work for Guthy Renker a while ago (Sheer Cover, Principal Secret, Youthful Essence, etc) and I know how good mineral make ups can be. Have ordered a sample pack, will have to see how it goes, thank you so much for the tips xx

PS for anyone else, it's $7.65 p+p which you can pay through paypal and works out at £5.24 xx
