Morning lovely ladies! Just dropping in to join everyone on the naughty step to declare my INs from the LG tsv...

INS
Laura Geller:
BnB SPF15 Fair
Baked marble eyeshadow moonstone/blue heaven
Spackle 59ml
Waterproof eye spackle fair/light

No blush as have done a swapsie for that.

Also maddiemay you asked me to report on the Emma Hardie moringa balm - I used it last night and was really impressed - my skin did feel really clean (I thought that this might just have been an overstatement on the Q, but actually it did feel really refreshed). Don't want to get a reputation as a 'naughty enabler' but noticed that the Q have got an intro set on special:
http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.226221.cm_scid.cswb/walk.html.|ukhtml|Cor_uk_MyAcct,html
(same set is currently £32 on Feelunique so it is a good price), especially if you buy thorough Quidco . HTH.

Thank you KM, I had not realised this was still listed. I am going away for a fw days holiday next week, so if I do not spend too much on treats, and it is still available, I might go for it. I am fairly new to MSE and don't do Quidco, but perhaps I should look at it, is it fairly straightforward to use?

Saying all that - i now use Boots Botanics Cleanising Balm.
It doesn't feel quite as luxurios to use (and the cloth it comes with is pants) but the result is pretty much the same on my skin. It removes all make up (inc eye make up) and leaves my skin soft and clean an not at all dry.
It shows out of stock online atm but i normally always manage to get it instore. If i wait until its on 3-4-2 which is often it works out at less than a fiver for a pot which is a damn sight cheaper than EH.
Also for some reason online it says its a 15g pot - it isn't its 70g

Oh no, now I want to try this as well - I really must be good but it looks a good price and at 3 for 2 at the moment would be very :money:(although not if I don't need it - I know, I know...). I will try to resist and add it to my 'items to try when my stash is finally used up' list.

Quidco is really simple - I joined because my BF kept nagging me to - so far I have got over £400 back including nearly £100 on our Eurodisney holiday last year. Sometimes the amount paid back is quite a small % but I have been surprised at how quickly it mounts up. I tend to buy most things online now even if I have seen something in store. Some biggies that I shop with - Amazon, John Lewis don't offer cashback through Quidco but most of my other favourites do. I think you pay something like £5 a year to be a 'member' but they deduct that from your cashback and it soon starts to mount up. HTH

After reading so many negative comments about the TSV I am now feeling very meh about it. I've given Emma the eye spackle which actually looks like a lovely a product (she's tested it on the back of her hand and the delivery system looks really good) and she needs to try the BnB. The blusher looks lovely but very similar to another LG one as I suspected. Don't like the eye shadows at all. Don't really want to stash another spackle but will do if I can't sell it. If the BnB doesn't suit Emma it's all going back and I'll buy an eye spackle singularly for her.

**tracey**

I have finally finished listing all my products and am shocked by how many things I have, I thought I had a lot but not this many. On the plus side I tend to be impatient when I get something new and want to try it asap so I have a lot of products half used which won't take too long to use up although I suspect I will not need to buy too made toiletries this year at all.

One uu to report - Skin cleanse 5ml wnba, it was ok but not good enough to want to have again although I do have another 5ml to use which may change my mind.

InaPickle

So you've made a list, you've checked it twice and you're not sharing **tracey**?

That's naughty, not nice! :rotfl:

Get your list up here now, sharpish, so we can [STRIKE]ogle[/STRIKE] help you keep on track.

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

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 would say the body shop do 3 different types of scrubs, these are:

1. Liquid with grains - such as the strawberry, satsuma and grapefruit. Perosnally i think these are good for frequent use but not that good for troublesome areas like elbows and knees.
2. Creamy with grains - such as brazil nut, coco and moringa. A bit Meh, cant decide whether these are any good but for some strange reason i still keep buying them
3. Sugar/salt scurb consistancy- such as mango, lemon and shea nut. Defo the best ones for me, the mango one is my fav and doesnt leave a horrible oily film at the end.

Hope you find a scrub to your liking, i have about 5 in my stash which i'm not looking forward to using coz i know they will be rubbish.

On another note, i have 2 bottles of TBS rainforest shampoo and conditioner that i really dont like. They leave my hair really dry and straw like, loved the old olive and nettle versions which is why i stocked up on the new ones. Any suggestions as what to do with these unwanted items?
