    On this topic - how many of you use toners? And if you do use them, any recommendations?x
    I use the Liz Earle skin tonic. Whether I need it is open for debate. It is the scent that does it. Compared to other toners which always seem so chemically, it is just heaven.

    Does anyone use Muslin Cloths instead of cotton wool for Cleansing/Toning?
    I use them with C&P, only at night so 2 cloths do me a week. I use a seperate eye make remover so they don't get that dirty. I think it's far better for the environment too.


    Only 5 days into May and an IN on the horizon...well, 2 actually. I sent my poor Mum on a mission to get me In Style with the free Nails Inc. I have more than enough nail varnishes but how can you refuse them at that price? I think this is my downfall, I just love a bargain too much, even if I don't need it, which means it isn't a bargain in the first place.

    Still, I won't count them as INs until I get my hands on them ;)

    Hope everyone is having a good evening

    It's in grabbit- basically you can get a shower gel, body lotion and body butter for free with a £15 spend. It takes a little bit of time and messing but it's good. I'm not sure if it's still working though.

    Hope this helps. xx

    Oh no!! Haha, just intended to get gifts for people!! But then thought about the hemp lip stuff, so added that, then I thought about the body scrub I've been wating for AGESSSS, so added that, and THEN thought I really should add some sort of gift in there for my best mates 21st, and it was a strawberry one (I lovvveee strawberry!!), so [STRIKE]it may not reach her[/STRIKE] I may have to give it to her early so I dont steal it :whistle:

    I think I may have to take a pew on the naughty step =[ But I'm on a toiletry high!!:happylove I swear I never used to have SUCH a problem with buying toiletries before this thread :smileyhea ahhh well!

    So, heres my order:
    Satsuma Shower Gel 250ml
    Shea Whip Body Lotion 250ml
    Shea Body Butter 200ml
    Hemp Lip Protector 4.2g
    Shea Body Scrub 200ml
    Strawberry Gift Bag

    -£5 discount

    So all for £21.50 (I couldnt remember my TCB details and I'm too tired to fish around for them)

    I feel so bad
