I bought one in the 50% off sale -- how often do you use yours? I admit I'm pretty bad and only do it every other day or every two days, so obviously haven't seen a difference yet.

I've only used mine once so far - but I did do a good scrubbing!! Used it on dry skin before I had a bath. After bath I used Nivea Goodbye Cellulite gel (currently £5.04 in Boots) - can you tell I'm on a mission to have nicer legs before I have to brave bikini!!??

The gel is really nice too - again don't know if it will do as it says. But I've been using the gel for a few days and it was only after using the body brush that my skin felt so soft. Even said to DH "feel my leg" and he said "how did you get it so soft??"

Personally is stopped using cheap brands ages ago, and now use only either Gilette or Wilkinsons Sword disposable razors.

If it helps I get gilette blades from Costco. Can't remember the exact price but you get like 24 blades for half the RRP.

I just tried M&S nail varnish for the first time and that seems like a pretty good buy. Painted my nails on Sunday and no chips yet (Friday) - not bad for £2.50!! Can't remember if anyone else has posted this, but at the moment if you buy 2 bottles of diet coke in Boots you get a free Nails Inc nail varnish. They've only got a few shades, but I got a lovely pink the other day, and they've also got one that looks very similar to Chanel's Particuliere (is that how you spell it!?) that sold out a while back. I'm going back for that this weekend!

I've just bought three mascaras from Natural Collection based on recommendations but the lash length one is very dry - is it supposed to be like this? It is like it has been sat in my make-up bag for 3 months instead of being brand new!

Don't think it's been mentioned but I use eyelash curlers everytime I do my eyes. I only use a cheap pair from Wilco's (99p). I curl my eyelashes before applying mascara and if I am going out and therefore want a more extreme look I curl them again after the mascara had dried. You must make sure it has dried though otherwise all the lashes will stick together!
