    Has anyone received their Amarya box yet? I've had a card through the door to say that there's a parcel for me at the sorting office and I can't think what else it could be!! I'm sure I haven't ordered anything else :o

    On a separate note I tried TBS Brazil Nut body scrub today and was distinctly underwhelmed! Not enough scrubby bits :( are all TBS scrubs like this?? Have a fair few to get through...........

    I'm using the Brazil Nut scrub at the moment, and weirdly I've actually found it to be the most effective BS one I've tried! I've tried the strawberry, satsuma and cocoa butter ones too and they weren't very effective, I thought. Doesn't bode well for the others I'm afraid!

    not had mine yet but we don't get parcel deliveries on saturdays. I'm sure they mentioned on their website that estimated dispatch was the 7th thou. it usually goes out the first mon/tues in the month.

    Oh dear, what have I ordered now and totally blanked out?? It's bound to be more toiletries or makeup I don't need!! I'll never get off the naughty step at this rate (sobs in to, now cold tea....) :D

    I usually use Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub which is fab and scrubby! That'll teach me to be drawn in to TBS promotions, I suppose less scrubby bits means more product usage so they'll be used up quicker :D

    oh how disappointing - sharing bathwater is VERY good for the environment you know... ;)

    Tongiht I painted DD's finger nails as she has got terrible nails. She's been biting and picking them something rotten and they have flaked terribly so I am hoping that a bit of nail varnish on them will stop her getting her teeth on to them. I have ordered her some stop'n grow so hopefully the taste will be so awful it stops her munching. I then painted my own nails in a pink glittery No7 varnish and DH made me help him put the duvet cover on so it smudged. So then I started the bath running, took that NV off and put on base coat, and 2 layers of a nice midnight blue (revlon I think?). I dangled them in the water to dry the varnish off. All went well and then I scraped the whole length off my Right middle finger. Numpty! So I took it all off again! and will hopefully re-do it tomorrow.
    I am getting on ok with the epilator. Am managing a little more of the bikini line each day (sorry, TMI :o) and hopefully will get there eventually. I have opened up the Sanctuary body souffle (which I love) as someone had righted the shea whip body lotion which was inverted in the bathroom so I was unable to get any out. Hopefully I can finish it up tomorrow or Monday.
    My hands are in pieces, lots of weeding today but lovely weather!

    Well i have had an absolutly horrendous weekend. Power went out about half nine on Friday night and wasnt restored till about an hour ago! Scottish Power couldnt find the fault. I have a horrendous cold/flu which stopped me from being at placement on Friday and the tech rehersal for the show im in yesterday. Im still not ok but i can't miss the dress rehersal, even though i feel like someone has been dragging barbed wire through my throat!

    Few INs Estee Lauder Even Skintone Illuminator, 1.5ml (found this hiding away in an old copy of The Stylist lol)
    Epaderm Cream, 25g (Free Sample)

    Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Perfumed Shower Gel, 30ml - WNBA, can't say it's my fave scent in the world as a perfume, so didn't translate too well into a shower gel!
    Lavera, Handcreme, 20ml - WBA, lovely handcreme, makes my hands really soft! Exactly the same smell as the Madara Eco Hands

    Sorry have to report 2 ins that I have to blame some lovely ladies on this thread for.

    I bought the Glamour Magazine so I could get the free Percy and somebody hydrating mask
    The Mag is rubbish, probably because I'm far too old to be interested in any of the articles
    I used the Mask tonight, it is very good but I dislike the scent so I won't be rushing back for the other products in the range

    I used this product yesterday and I too didn't like the smell of it. I'd say my hair feels bouncy now but when I was rinsing it off and shampooing my hair didn't feel clean and it took several shampoo applications to remedy this! A better result than Ojon but not (from memory) of Aussie 3 minute miracle which I'm going to return to once this is gone.

    Percy and Reed review, today my hair looks lovely, bouncy and thick and healthy. Its pretty thick hair anyway. HOWEVER my scalp has been itchier than usual, and the perfume is VERY strong. So nice for £2 but not for the regular price =)

    Which product was this Adela?

    I don't like TBS body scrubs because they are too dry in consistency. I much prefer Soap & Glory Sugar Crush as it is more oily.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
