Phew! Not tempted at all by tonights Laura Geller TSV on QVC. :j If I wanted to buy a palette I'd buy a Jemma Kidd or Bobbi Brown one.
Can I still feel virtuous about not buying it even if I don't want it?Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted. Einstein0 -

why when you can get tesco ones so cheaply(even at 38p!) do No7 charge £6.75 for what is basically the same thing?!(I only bought some to use £5 coupon but still cost me £1.75 much more than tescos:(and to be honest they are not better:mad:
Ain't that the truth!!!

I am liking the sound of those 36p Tesco Vit E wipes. Might give them a go once I get the wipes stash down a bit.
3 nail polishes chucked out due to gloopiness with one leaked out round the cap. They were all almost done anyway.

Evening all,
I love the pic of your stash, Karom! The Chanel goodies look very elegant. It made me want to go out and buy things, which isn't so good!
I received my Decleor try me kit today, and a free sample of Caudalie anti-wrinkle cream (the cheek!).I was very excited about starting the kit and have just used the cleansing water, aromessence balm and eye cream. The cleansing water is quite like the Bioderma Crealine cleanser I use at the moment - it's like water (obvs!) and you apply it with a cotton wool pad, without rinsing. I've used this type of cleanser for a couple of years now and am going off it a bit as it can drag the skin quite a lot. My skin got quite red after using the Decleor cleanser. The balm felt nice though. It all smells a lot more herbal and less 'rosy' than I was expecting. Hoping to wake up tomorrow with glowing skin though!
No UUs yet, but am thinking of chucking the Clinique mascara sample. My eyes have been quite sore recently and I think it's most probably that. I'm going to break out a new mascara and see if they clear up, and chuck the clinique one if it was responsible.
Also, resisted buying a few samples from that beauty website where you can choose them and text to pay £1 p&p. I chose some samples then thought what was the point when I'm still trying to wade through everything else?! :A0
