    Use this quickly as when it goes it really sticks :mad: I have 2 that have now became my foot cream, even then it's a thought to use it as the smell stains my hands. :(

    yikes! Better make sure I slather my hands copiously from now on!!

    A plea! I finally got the Pantene Pro V survey out to those who I posted samples to. Has anyone else used the new Pantene Pro V products? Did you get samples in the post?
    Did you rate them or hate them? Could you spare five minutes to complete a survey that I can PMM you - do PMM me!
    If anyone liked it and needs shampoo/conditioner, I have some £1 vouchers for Mr T's only, expiring March.

    i keep adding things to my watch list on ebay, and then feel extremely guilty and then delete them.
    This is getting to be tiresome LOL!

    Must....resist.....lol!
    Is anyone else going through this?

    I did that today!! Had 8 toiletries items in my watch list all ending today...but guess what?.......I didnt buy any of them!! :j I ummed and ahhhhed for ages, but kinda realised that I didnt really need any of them right this minute. I'll probably buy them at some point in the future though.

    Did you buy these from Ebay? Only asking because I wasn't aware that Boots sold the Gok items singularly. Do Boots only sell Gok products at Christmas as well? Only asking as Emma has developed a fondness for his products. They smell too floral for me though.

    Yes, they were off ebay.......there's a fair number on there at the moment that are "unwanted xmas presents" I think sometimes ppl just keep the itens they want and sell the rest of the collection.


    An unintentional and unexplained IN - because in my daughter's room a bar of Cusson's Pearl soap has mysteriously appeared - alongside an ancient bottle of Olbas Oil (costing 46p)! The Olbas has been binned, but I now have an extra bar of soap in the stash - although I'm considering telling OH to use it because it smells similar to Dove which he likes (and I dont)

    I really rate them on my skin, and you can get little sets to try it out , I originally had mine from QVC.

    I feel so smooth today ;)

    And oi, YOU LOT, bad influences... got my first Kipling Bag today... I needed a laptop sleeve and it was so cute, and so purple, and had extra pockets for BITS which most laptop sleeves forget about. And was in the sale.

    Another UU! :D Clarin's Creme Blusher.

    WIBA? Yes! Easy to go on, gives a great colour, and the first blusher I have ever used up in its entirety...ever! (I even got a cotton bud out to go round the lip of it to catch any offending little bits that were hanging round.)

    I just look up how much they cost nowadays and it's £18, which is a pretty penny, but worth it, I think. It just made me angry to think how much I spent on Benefit Sugarbomb and Benetint, though, and they don't suit me anywhere near as well! :mad:

    Oh, also, I managed to sell a TBS body scrub and body butter on Ebay as I know there's no way I will get round to using them before they go off. Happy days! :A

    Oh, forgot to ask - I did the L'Occitane free 30ml handcream thing on Facebook yesterday and I haven't had the email yet - was this a number limited thing? Thought I could pop into the L'Occitane shop in Islington when I go to the QVC Beauty Bash. Anyone else had their email?
    good point not got mine yet either:(
