How do I use the Superdrug vit e oil? I got some too when it was half price. Do I use it before moisturiser?

I thought I'd open up the Ted Baker lotion to go with the shower gel last night and it's a tanner. I didn't bother with it then and just used the suncream again. Awful stuff, I can't wait until it's gone. I feel it soaked in a little better last night but even so...... (bleurgh!).
Tonight I promise I will shave my legs pits and bits and will then crack open the fake tanner! Mind you, I still have half a bottle of dove left too. I stopped using it when I realised it actually worked a bit so I could save it for spring/ summer. Well, that time is here now so I can start using it in the hope that I'll take the blue tinge off my legs in time for summer!
DH keeps getting out another toothpaste and I keep putting it back and sqeeeeeeeeeezing the old one. I really don't know if I can get any more out of it after today. When it's gone we will be onto our last tube (I will check before I buy another don't worry!).


ETA: combined 2 open baby oils so one less in stash. Finished the toothpaste- YAY!

Forgive me for I have sinned

I went to Boots today and got tempted by a section down the back,where they had a load of reduced products. I have been putting together a basket for my daughter for when I next see her (she's away at Uni) and saw some reduced styling product (James Brown Heat styling protector) and a Sanctuary Bidadari Shimmering body dust. They were reduced to a £1 each. But.............I knew this thread was bad for me! I also ended up buying the 3 for £3 cosmetic pads offer. I am annoyed,as I normally buy really cheap ones from Wilkies! Oh,the shame...So I ended up spending £5 in there,sniff.

Am I forgiven?

Yes, it's for your daughter and she will be so happy with her pressie (plus you probably needed the pads, right? ).

Then I saw you were raving about superdrug vit E oil so decided to buy some (when it was on offer of course) instead of my normal Decleor and its almost as good.

I've been using the Body Shop Vitamin E oil (from a mega glitch of course) and find that I need to wait about 5 minutes before applying moisturiser otherwise it makes my face veeery greasy!! And I need to wait till I get to work to apply foundation, otherwise it slides off. I don't mind this actually, it's becoming a nice ritual in the ladies' every morning. But my skin does feel softer afterwards so it is a good product. How much is the Superdrug one?

After my current stash of moisturisers runs out, I will defo be rebuying the Boots Vitamin E range. I've tried the day and night creams and they are FAB and super cheap. Must try the eye cream sometime.

thevicster - yes, you put the Vitamin E oil on before moisturiser.

I intend to banish my Klorane shampoo tonight, can you believe it is still going!!!! Gaaaaah. More pampering is in order, I think. I'll be listing some stuff on eBay (think it's a free listing weekend) and then covering myself in toiletry goodies!

Goodness, what a rambly post!!

Have a lovely Sunday ladies.

Thanks for that Tara, can't wait to try it! It's £1.22 at the moment half price. Thanks for the review of the Boots creams too, think I will try them when my other moisturisers run out!

Yes, another one here interested to see your comments about the Boots Vitamin E stuff Tara - it is a great price isn't it, and I see that, like the Expert range, it's another that they sometimes put on 2 for £4 making it even better value.

Managed to walk straight PAST Lush the other day!
Whoo!

Yesterday had a bath and nearly finished Aussie mega shampoo, and a L'oreal Shampoo (hair was quite manky as I'd been really ill and not able to wash it for a little while, so I shampoo'd twice).
Used some L'Oreal Conditioner, though there's loads left in that.
I think the next hair wash might finish those two shampoos.
My hair's dyed Red, so I'm trying to not wash to often - it's mostly nice and clean and I can get away with once or twice a week, it was quite horrible yesterday because my blood sugar has been consistently low and I didn't dare get in the bath or shower for a while.

With the dreaded No7/Ruby & Millie vouchers, when I've accumulated any of these (buying phone credit eg or odd bits of make up) I've redeemed them against accessories - like No7 cotton/moisturising gloves £6, and a magnifying mirror (£8 I think) - that sort of thing. But a pencil sharpener is a good idea too, or a towards a make-up brush. But only if you need it of course

I really do need them this time lol. My eye shadow brush fell apart and I tried to sharpen my pencil with a knife and that just didn't work At least I wont be adding to the stash of carp I don't need for once!!

More decorating today so I'll reward myself with another long soak in the bath. I'll scrape the last dregs of my hair repair so I can move onto the bigger size. I couldn't be bothered last time so they're both in the bathroom atm, which I can't stand :mad:

Hope everyones having a nice day today :j

Finished a tube of Shine Shock today. I don't use it much, don't know if I'd buy again, but I have more waiting to be used up anyway And I gave away my only No 7 voucher - quite surprised that I managed it, tbh!

Finished a Tigi curl's rock this morning, d is going to take the rest of the boots curl cream to see i he gets on with it any better than I.

I've got a few ingrown hairs ATM, despite regular exfoliating and moisturizing, never had much of this this problem shaving/waxing, so must be the epilating. very annoying. Still, spen a ouple of minutes wih a needle this morning and all fixed (for now)

also finished another body butter (tesco roase and jasmine). I love the smell of this, i think its been discontinued. It no thebest moisturiser and is a heavy texture, but I love the scent and old fashioned feel. I think I still have three of these left.



Tonight will be using a bath bomb (only three left)
