Tut tut! Good on you for trying to stop shopping there though You must have a serious pressie stash by now!


Just checked my reflection in the mirror at work to see how a foundation sample I'm trying is lasting (quite well actually) and noticed I've got really dry skin on my chin again, drat! I thought I was doing really well, and the combination of oil cleansing, my new serum, and a sample dior night cream leaves my skin feeling incredible every morning when i wake up, so I'm so annoyed about this.

To be fair, i've always had issues with dry skin patches on my chin, and I have a lovely LE moisturising mask in the cupboard at home. So i'll slather that on tonight, and when it's done I may have to follow the recommendations for the Origins mask

I suffer with this, have you exfoliated recently? Nothing too harsh but enough to freshen things up.

fixx - I have switched to just jojoba for oil cleansing with a tiny dab of castor for any breakouts, as I was finding using a mix all over my face was too drying for my combination skin. (I have to say I am still switching between OCM and using up my Eve Lom cleanser so perhaps not the best person to advise)

Er, yes I do.

Have you tried sweet almond oil (on its own) for the OCM? It is great stuff.

And I think that's about it, unless DH has finished off the Origins ginger shampoo.

I would kill my OH if he used any of my fancy toiletries!! :rotfl: Just as well he doesn't, I think he associates them with all things girlie lol.

Nothing used up for the past few days but I am perilously close to the end of an eye gel - maybe tomorrow?

Think I might have a bath bomb later to get rid of one? Not fussed on Lush stuff really but don't want to waste them.

I bought a new bottle of conditioner and a new hand wash today. But I did need both so I don't feel too guilty

I only let him use the Origins because it makes my head itch if I use it for too long. :rotfl: He knows when I'm getting sick of something when I say "By the way, there's xyz you can use" :rotfl:

Anybody want to fess up to buying the Philosophy TSV on QVC today? Not for me thankfully, I've tried the three skincare products before and they've done nothing for me. Have come a long way though - there was a time when I would have probably bought this kit to try the new mask, shower gel and lip gloss justifying to myself that I would put the other items on ebay or makeupalley.[/QUOTE]


I would have stayed up for the midnight launch in the past, as you say would have ebayed what I did not want. I cannot remember the last time I purchased from QVC it must be at least over 6 months ago.

Update!!!!

VISP Primark Exfoliator WIBA YES smells gorgeous pitty its a small container!

Venus Shave Creme WIBA NO smells lovely does the job but bit pointless really

Body Shop Eyebrow & Eyelash Gel WIBA NO used mainly as an eyebrow gel and it went all flaky when dry ---not a good look!
