    Feeling sorry for myself today as I tripped over yesterday and have injured my left foot. Can't see any bruising at all but it's very painful and I'm hobbling around.

    Hope its better soon hun
    - 1 x Avon Foot Works Scrub - been using this as a body scrub too as I hate the feel of my current body scrub (boots mango sugar scrub :( ) so have relegated that one to my feet only. WIBA? it was ok, got it on offer bout 3 years ago.

    I'm using this at the minute and my feet are feeling really dry for using it.... I'll persevere for a while longer....

    Sawan - Hope you have a lovely time at the wedding, and Immy Lou is back to her happy self :D thank you for asking!

    Another b****y BS 1/2 price sale ...... whats going on :eek::eek:

    UU for me this morning - Ghost shower gel - was ok, smell was overpowering, was part of a set a few years ago so WNBA

    Given Mum my 14 day trial of Garnier and some other samples she liked the look of, in exchange she gave me a Leighton Denny nail file, 2 Boots No. 7 nail enamels, a teal one and a Betty Blue and a Nails Inc Belsize Park (I think!) :T

    My sachets arrived (sorry Sarah), it was freebie morning, with a pack of coffee from Taylors of Harrogate, some very useful pdf conversion software and a lovely photobook of the Olympics, the last two from Amazon Vine.

    So a Non Bought In - the Garnier Ultra Lift cream -21 ml in 14 sachets.
    My Aqua Physics serum in a pump bottle is at the stood upside down and being scooped out by pump tube stage. This is Day 4 of this stage and we may well go in to Day 7. Conversely, the125 ml Simple Moisturiser which appeared to have loads left by weight appears to be in a very thick heavy bottle, as it spluttered today although stored upside down. This has been a LHJ that is wayyyy outside its use up range.

    On the subject of LHJ's I will be using up a shampoo bottle shortly. I'd worked out it would run out end March, but thanks to freebie sachets and mini bottles it's only due to go now.

    Ooohh, thanks for that Vicster. Might pop in this weekend! It's the same polish. It's a double ended one, so grey at one end and white at other! So you can use grey, white sparkle or layer them either way. I did the grey (first pic) with white sparkly one on top (second pic).

    Bev we can resist the L'Occitane sale... :o

    Got to decide what I'm wearing to this wedding tomorrow so I can do my nails... :eek:

    ETA:
    UU
    No7 P&P Beauty Serum 5ml - WIBA? I never buy this, I just use the sample sizes from GWPs :o I think I have another one somewhere. HG still EL. Just waiting for a good GWP!

    Thanks for the support sawan - haven't gone through the L'occitane checkout just emptied another basket. Checked bank balance and can't afford anything until next month anyway.

    Hope the wedding you have been too went well.

    My Avon order is due on Monday and I've ordered one of the new hair colorants as well. Can't wait to try it. Let me know how you get on with yours.



    I love the Ccutex Ultra Cleansing one (blue bottle). Doesn't the drag the nails or leave sticky residue.

    I tried the LE hip and thigh gel once and it actually felt like it burnt my skin when I applied it.

    Have put a face mask on this morning and will paint my nails later (out of cotton pads at the mo). Is the extent of the pampering for today.

    Sorry to hear about your foot hope it is feeling better.

    Thanks for the info...will look up the nail varnish remover on boots.com.

    Has anybody tried anything from Natio
    I tried a tester in Debenhams of this:
    http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_123963902599_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7Etxtnatio+body+lotion

    My friend tried it too at the same time and it must have gone off - luckily I carry around wet wipes and used several just to get off the horrible, vile smell! I took the bottle to the counter to explain to the assistant that no one would want to buy it from this tester and she apologised and thanked me for bringing it to her attention.
    Then again, maybe it wasn't off but is just smells digusting!

    Thanks for the recommendation. I didn't buy any today (check me out!) I had a look in boots at the S&G ones but my friend has a travel one she said I could try before I buy. I was tempted by the Sanctuary Salt Scrub in the pretty jar as there is an offer on of free gift with 4 things (shower gel, scrub, lotion and hand cream maybe?) but the were out of the GWP!

    i love the Sanctuary salt scrub, i know others don't but i find it really good, doesn't leave a mess and the salt does my excema good.

    I hate Wish Upon A Jar!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It made me break out so bad! I threw it straight in the bin after the 21 days!


    Oh Vicster - poor you :(

    Can I be really nosy and ask what skin type you are and how far through the 21 days you started to break out?


    I've oily/combination/red/very sensitive skin so I was a bit dubious about trying this but so far so good (been nearly a week now). I've had a couple of spots but I can't blame the cream as I get them during the month IYKWIM;). Having said that I haven't noticed any improvement yet either!:(


    Also got the 14 day Garnier Ultralift samples this am :)


    And.....I'm soo proud - I've spent the day at the Trafford Centre with my buddies today and all I bought in Mr B or SD was a bottle of pop :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
