    1 almost UU for me - Boots No 7 gradual facial moisturiser, well I say almost, I cut the end off it about 3 weeks ago and now have cut further down the tube to get the last bits out.
    WIBIA - probably not, it is SPF15 which is good but didn't give me a gradual facial tan. (Also I have sseveral more moisturiers in my stash to use up first! lol)
    Bought it a few years ago with a No 7 £5 voucher and it was reduced. I also got the matching overnight facial moisturiser which is going much more slower!
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    I used this as had a £5 to spend but agree the tan bit does not work:(

    @Tara Get the No7 set, it's a rather nice thing to get with points. I got the No7 big light-up mirror with mine.

    Fearne Cotton is a DJ/TV presenter on MTV I think. Her best friend is Holly Willoughby. They also have a book out for Christmas. I love the box too. Hoping to get it in the 75% sale.

    Right, I will!

    The Fearne box would be £10 in the 75% off sale, still really dear for a nice box and a makeup bag but I could eBay the contents I guess.

    lol :) nope didn't wreck pillows or leave me with patches! TBH I felt it was ok as a moisturiser but that was it.

    Well my plans for the evening are scuppered! Work just phoned and asked me to work tonight. I said "No, I don't want to" as I didn't get a break last night. Then she said I could come off Saturday night so that swung it :) but it means I can't do my sorting tonight.
    I'm off for a bath now, to have a pamper before work (bleurgh!).
