*NOTE TO ALL TOILETRIES LADIES*

It is possible to get prescriptions filled in an ordinary pharmacy, it is not obligatory to go to Boots you know.

Wow, what a haul!!!!! :D:D:D:D



I didn't know that the Nazis had started doing cosmetics :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

This whole post made my day! :rotfl::rotfl:

Do you like the UG stuff? I'm tempted by the 3 for £10 offer.



I was totally :eek: too when I read your post!!!!! Take care in future xoxoxo

I never used to cut up tubes either, I'm annoyed at all the products and money I wasted before this challenge!!!!!!! :eek:



What a lovely point re decluttering. I have numerous other addictions too, such as Cath Kidston bags and retro teacups. And I need to keep decluttering my house!

Hope you find your Pandora bead xoxo

I LOVE UG stuff, it just smells so lovely! Particularly the Pure Beauty range. Not entirely sure that the overnight stuff does anything (but I'm not sure that anything does anything for me at the moment!) but the smell is just gorgeous!

I recommend crying! :rotfl: Lucky her.



Yes, I always moisturise my neck and decolletage morning and night.



Oh, shame. FWIW, I do think that my skin looks better since finishing the 21 day regime, so be patient and hang onto it a little longer. :A It is a very heavy cream, and made me break out as well - but the spots have totally gone since I finished using it. I have about half the pot left and will definitely use it again, probably in the summer (in answer to sofababe, I think you just use as much as you need and then keep the rest for another 21-day treatment in a few months' time).

p.s. happy belated birthday to trudij, and also I think I missed VALM's birthday! Many happy returns ladies.

:bdaycake:


trudij - lol at your tips on feeling a younger man and :eek: at the half million pound horse!

I'll keep on until Monday with the S&G then, glad your skin has got better, hope mine does too, it looks :eek:. I've been using a primer with spf as I don't have any day cream with spf, so hopefully that was the right thing to do! Maybe I should have bought new day cream...:D

I wouldn't have thought of looking at creams in the next age bracket.

Sorry to ask a stupid question but what is the difference between that and the night cream?

Great idea about the starter packs.

Ummmm....? I think that the idea with the night emulsions is that you use them in "bursts" of 14 days - and the rest of the time use your regular night cream. In common with a lot of Avon products though I'm sad to say information on use is a bit thin on the ground! It would be likely that would be the case though as they contain AHA's apparently which can make your skin a bit sensitive if you use them too much or for too long.

DD1 wanted to go and see that - unfortunately the subtitled showing was at a ridiculous time, so we couldnt make it. Sounds like we didnt miss much then!!



I believe its in Campaign 7 for £1.00 but.............unless I'm wrong, its only in the book for Avon sellers which is soooo not fair!

I paid £4.78 for the 3 tubes - which I can live with.

I'm sure it is also coming through one of the upcoming sale brochures, although where I saw the link to think I can't for the life of me remember! It's not often that only reps get clearance items, normally they come through the brochures first and then our clearance after that. That's a pretty fair price you paid for three tubes of it - fair play!

Just had an Avon Lady round last week , first one in years and although I didn't buy anything from the brouchure I said I would still like to receive one in future. Now I will definitely get the Anew starter pack - its sounds fab and I will tell a friend about it to.
Do you think it is worth asking if they have a separate leaflet with Liz Earle stuff in (seen as Avon own it now). Maybe it would only be for Avon sellers?



Love the LE Energising body scrub - just used the energising hip and thigh gel last night after my shower - I think the range is really good.

I think it's unlikely that Avon are likely to start doing anything much in the way of promotion of the LE range - at least at the moment. First I even knew of the aquisition was when someone mentioned it on here - I;ve certainly seen no mention of it from Avon at all I'm afraid - sorry!

Does anyone know what this is :

Sanctuary Mande Lular Mini Sensuous Bath Crème

I thought it must be bubble bath but looks like souflle i.e. cleanser as it's in a tub?

aha i think i had this a couple of years ago as a set, you scoop some up and put it under the tap, it was lovely. That's if it's the same stuff.



As to where i store my stash.... i have a 80lt tub on top of the wardrobe, another tub (smaller though) in a cupboard, some things in a draw to replace some things which will be used up shortly and stuff in my bathroom or bedroom which is in use. i'm working on emptying the box in the cupboard but it's going to take some time as there's about three huge tubs of body cream/souffle/butter in there and it takes me ages to use them.

I've had a monumental fall off the wagon this weekend :eek: I fell sooooo far I'm amazed I didn't break my neck :rotfl:

IN
- CK Euphoria Blossom 15ml bottle for £8 inc P&P on eBay. I lurve this and just had to have some. Twas a bargain tho!
-BS Rainforest Radiance S&C minis. While I was browsing I decided it'd be rude not to get a Moringa gift set (for myself) as so many of u love the smell. So 2x £2 + £5 -25% - free delivery= £6.75
-Naked Richness Revealed S&C at 2 for £6 on boots.com
-S&G Clean Mary, Butter Up & The Daily Smooth on eBay. With combined postage I should get all 3 for less than £10 delivered from the same seller.
-S&G I-Foam, Clean Girls & Scrub Of Your Life 3 for 2 on Boots.com
-And I intend to get the discontinued FCUK stuff at some point this week too, so a confession in advance:p

If anyone wants me for the rest of the week I'll be over there on the naughty step:o:o:o

It is quite orange! :rotfl:

Right, bit of a dilemma! I've saved some money in my paypal acc by ebaying to buy myself a little treat! But what to get! I've narrowed it down to either;

Benefit One Hot Minute face powder
Benefit Georgia face powder
Benefit Girl Meets Pearl
Benefit Get Even blotting powder

Does anyone have any suggestions? I had all these used on me at the Benefit counter and loved all of them but am going to be very good and get just one at a time when I've ebayed enough! I already have the Benefit Powder TIme collection, and a pressed powder, but think the things above are for a bronze type look which I would like to try

PS where's Kaz?

:wave: Hello! Been dipping in and out over the last couple of days.
Funnily enough, read that and thought, where's Jacksxx? And there she is!
I've been trying to get sorted with all of my ebay sales. So far I have sold lots of items. Didn't even occur to me to sell the Avon roll on perfume. Might stick it in the box to go on the next free listing weekend. Anyone know how much they are usually?
No ins for me (of the toiletry variety- but spent all of my not yet recieved ebay proceeds and more on bits such as wallpaper and paint for my dining room. It's going to look beautiful when it's done ).
Congratulations SJP.
Belated Happy Birthday Trudij and Valm.
No more UU's at the moment.
Tried the Olay freebie. It is very thick isn't it? My face needed it though today and it has soaked in. Shall see how I go over the next couple of days as I'm spot free at the moment.

Bit of a random question for all the lovely people out there.

My question is how much body scrub do you use in one wash/bath?

I've just used a fist full of the sancutary hawiian body scrub and though i might have gone too far.
(This might also have something to do with the fact that i'm a tad bit lazy and dont tend to work my products in correctly)

Back from weekend in Scotland. A fist full seems a lot -also it can't work if you don't work it in, surely? But I tend to use non-toiletry exfoliation, so not the best person to comment. Keep posting, NuffinisFree!

If this is the perfume rollettes you mean, the Aromadisiac and LWD ones have a normal brochure price of £4, but have recently gone through clearance at £1.50 each - HTH
