Well afraid I'm on the naughty step yet again, I enjoyed the Ren anti-aging concentrate so much I had been trying to decide whether or not to purchase as had 15% off from Amarya if purchased before the end of the month. In my defense I was going to be good and wait till stash had gone down before purchasing, but Amarya sent me an email saying free gift with purchase over the weekend. Sorry couldn't resist discount and free GWP. So I gave in and ordered on Sunday. Parcel has now arrived so I will now list all my ins I've estimated Freebies to be worth approx £22 based on selling price of full size items on Amarya website.

Ren Bio Rentinoid Anti-aging Concentrate 30ml

Free gifts below
Caudalie Gentle Cleanser 30ml
Ren Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask 5ml
Ren Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel 3ml
Ren Bio Rentinoid Anti-aging Concentrate 2ml
Jurlique Purely Age-Defying Ultra Firm and Lift Cream 5ml
Dr Hauschka Facial Toner 10ml
Dr Hauschka Regenerating Day Cream 1.5ml
Dr Hauschka Regenerating Serum 1.5ml

All the freebies are items I haven't previously tried.

At least its cheered me up.

Men!!!!!, or in this case my OH.:(

Before we moved home, I was convinced that I had a 500ml L'Occitane liquid soap in the kitchen and bathroom, with another one residing in the motor home. All winter I have just about convinced myself that I was wrong. Each time OH went into the van I asked him to check if he could find the missing third one - no def not there he said, today whilst equiping it ready for first trip this season I find it stowed away in a bucket in the bathroom. The good news is that it is 7/8 full, so I will not have to break into my last refill just yet.:j

Although this is expensive, the Lavender one is my HG, it is very gently on eczema hands, and indeed feels very healing.

I have a TA - my Clinique High Impact mascara. Only started using it the other night but it is clumpy so I have left it too late. *Sigh what a waste of money. I have another one in the stash so will dig that out and hope it has not went the same way.

I am not liking my foundation at the mo either. I am onto the last of my Clinique super balanced but don't feel that is giving me the coverage I need right now...that or it is too old as well. Not much left in the bottle but I'm seriously considering tossing it. I have much newer foundations that I bought in the states I want to move onto. In writing this out now I have made up my mind - onwards and upwards. Another TA.
