Tara, did you ever get my email?

Have a great time in Paris! I want to go too.....next time I'm in Paris I plan to have the famous curry and La Coupole, while I pretend to be Josephne Baker.

Er... I don't think so! Which email? Sorry if I've missed it.

I forgot to confess purchasing an Avon white tea peel off face mask - 75p in the CS. I tried it this morning and it's FAB. :T

I also used up the end of an ANCIENT Avon Africa Spa (?) shea butter body lotion. I'll put £3 in the pot for it. WIBA: no way, the smell was sickeningly sweet, bleurgh!!! :eek:

I lurve Paris, I think it may be my spiritual home. I always come over all floaty and dreamy when I'm there. Just trying to decide what outfits to bring atm, need to try to be chic ha ha! Boo to only bringing carry on baggage!

I'm hoping - no actually I am going to join the buy no toiletries in June thread:) However I am practicing now and want to know how everyone else uses up their serums that are in glass bottles? The Boots time delay night serum in particular.

Is there a little gadget or gizmo that I don't know about to get the last of the serum out? The pump is no longer working (it doesn't reach the bottom properly) and I can see loads left in the bottom if the bottle if I could only reach it:(

Any advice greatfully received:)

I'm pretty sure you can twist the top off that one (think Tara may have mentioned it?) then you could decant into a wider pot and finish off lke that? I've got one of those serums too and it's what I'm hoping to do with mine now it's nearly finished. hth!

No use ups to report but now I have an extra reason not to spend - just found out I'm 2 weeks pregnant Not telling anyone except DH yet in case it doesn't stick but I need to talk about it and here is as good a place as any!

Congrats!!! That's fab news! You must be so excited!

Roshydoshy, hope you are feeling a bit better now

Tara, have a fab time you lucky thing! I'd love to go to Paris but my OH won't get on a plane :eek:

Few use ups to report - BS vit e day cream wiba? yes but on if on a good offer, it sinks in beautifully and smells lovely but I think £9 a jar is pushing it a bit! Might try the Boots one that has been recommended. Also finshed off a Dead Sea Spa Magik face mask wiba? No, didn't smell nice at all!

Am off work for 11 days now, yay! Am off to see my Daddy next weekend in Devon for his birthday so will take lots of samples and some bits for my Mum too!

I would...but as I've already succumbed it would be a bit hypocritical of me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I didn't buy much though! Detangling comb, aloe deodrant, the new orange shower oil and amilka leave in conditioner

Congratulations! You can start stocking up on baby products guilt-free after 3 months!

I got my skin analysed the other day (hence the LRP samples) and apparently my skin is the most hydrated and least sun damaged the girl had seen in ages!!! She said that my 'skin age' was 24.6 years, which I was well chuffed about as I'm a bit older than that! :beer:

Ooh, where do you get that done?! Me wants, me wants!
