    Hello! Haven't been posting much lately, stupid work gets in the way!

    Vikki, I hope you manage to avoid the Avon temptation!

    Vatic, I quite like the Lush eye cream, unfortunately I dropped it down the loo before I could finish it, but it was nice! Whether it's natural enough I'm not sure! I also like Eau Thermale Avene (sp) and Body Shop Aloe ones, again I'm not sure if they would be classed as natural?!

    Few use ups to report - Trevor Sorbie repair and protect shampoo (wiba? Yes if cheap), Dead Sea Spa Magik face mask (wiba? Noooooo smells icky), No 7 Age defence cleansing lotion and No7 Foaming cleanser (wiba? Probably with a voucher)

    Hope you are all well xxx

  • Just gave in to the Boots santurary glitz on grabbit. Still now have lots of room to keep the stuff .I like the Sanctuary hydrating toner which is half price, and now going to try the half price eye brightening gel (Plus free gift with product). I'd do better if I stayed away from grabbit.

    I think many of us here would agree with you on that one - I certainly would! :o

    Another use up to report - S&G "The Scrub of your life" got cut open and the dregs dug out in the shower last night. WIBA? Definitely, yes, it's exactly the sort of scrub I like, nice texture, the right size grains, and smells delicious! I've got another S&G one to go on to now - Might be called Scrub, Actually?

    That is scary. My Avon Lady gave it up because it was so hard to get money out of people on time and I suppose it's got harder because of the recession.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I can't find my epilator. I might have to dig out and use a disposable razor tomorrow. DH must have hidden it at the weekend.


    I think I deserve bonus points for not yet caving in and buying a new liquid foundation. I have occasionally been using up samples stretched with moisturiser, which is fine as they are too dark as is but I'm out of them now.

    I used up both of the dove conditioners I bought recently (I condition a LOT ;)) and bought 2 VO5 ones on special offer. I've never used a VO5 product.
