Sigh....... Where's a 'rolls eyes' icon when you need one...


(Your definition of basics and mine varied just a little bit, I feel.... )

I'd say it's something really low like £20 because it's probably calculated on Tesco value type products rather than Soap + Glory or Clarins. I'd need razor blades and toothpaste too. And moisturiser and probably a million more things, I can't do low maintenance

Oops

I didn't do any maths, just plucked a number out of thin air.

Are we talking cheapest ranges of everything, so like tesco value kind of basics?

Sounds like it Wouldn't be too enjoyable although I do love lots of Aldi cosmetics.

This was using the most basic products that are widely available in supermarkets.

Oooh!

Then i'd guess about £50 for the year.

I know I couldn't do it though. The very thought makes me itchy and want to reach for my S&G! :rotfl::o

I went to buy this range for my sister on Sunday and found they only had cucumber. I did ask them whether they'd stopped selling it and I was told that they weren't sure if it was being discontinued or it was being rebranded. I was recommended the cucumber stuff instead as a good alternative (this was by the beauty adviser who happened to be working in store that day). Unfortunately, like I said it wasn't for me so can't recommend if it's any good.

Hiya, Im using this cucumber moisturiser as day cream at the moment, I really like it, very light goes on nice and doesnt smell too much like a sandwich:)
2 uu to declare, 1, avon am/pm face wash, label came off so not sure which half ive been using:o no outbreaks to speak of, and got all my make up off too so am pleased with that. 2, tesco finest bath melt, this has been in the cupboard for ages, and was delicious, but so old probably isnt avialable.
no ins to declare yet for april, my avon orfer isnt coming till next week...... so im using a mr M basic bubble bath, do you know its not bad at all, nice and sudsy, and a real cheapy:T

just checked my spam before deleting it all just in case and there was an email suppossedly from the tax office saying I had a refund due of £178 and to fill in the attached form:eek::eek::eek::eek:am sure this is spam so please lookout,it also said you cannot phone up about this and the money is paid into your bank or credit card.
DH has just had a :eek:refund and it was sent by cheque without him having to do anything !

DH away tomorrow so will do the full beauty treat (bath/face mask/pedicure etc and phone sister:)

toe nails currently a lovely bright pink which looks good with my tanned legs BUT the colour does not suit all my clothes colours and is on show more now sun has arrived!

avon order came today so another in:o:

eternal magic perfume-was hoping this would smell like lancome hypnose which I love but is so expensive. Smells a bit like it and reminds me of vera wang princess (which I also love) so overall quite happy with it. Might try perfume parlour oils next.

Almost finished curious and BS japanese cherry though :j

ooh also emailed Lush about the shower gel and was really impressed by the customer service as they replied so quickly and were so nice this is what they said:

If you would like to send your Yummy Yummy Yummy to us at Customer Care, this will help us investigate the matter further. Please include your address and we will send you a replacement along with some of complimentary items to cover your postage and to make up for the inconvenience. Please obtain a proof of postage when sending the item, for your own records. I'm not sure if you're aware, but this has actually now been discontinued for the past year or more so I won't be able to replace it directly. Please let me know which other shower gel/alternative item you would prefer to receive instead? You may want to check the ingredients of your chosen item, too as all of our shower gels will contain SLS and parabens.

so shower gels are out of the question, but what should I get instead?
