    Huge virtual hugs to Willowbee, I think that the post from the Argan Oil people comes under the category of "best form of defence is attack". Bearing in mind the huge counterfeit business that operates in the fields of consumable goods, beauty and even medicine/drugs, I applaud you for bringing your concerns to your friends here in as tactfull and guarded a way as you could. Don't let the b*ggers get you down. xx

    P.S. I did not purchase this box.

    Nooooooo! Mind you I only really use the cleanse/tone/moisturise essentials and they never have full sizes of all three in a TSV so I'm probably safe.

    Saw your comment re: the Leighton Denny TSV. Have just been having a look on shoppingtelly to see if there was any more news on the Elemis TSV on29 April and saw some comments that LD has not been behaving himself on facebook. Apparently some people were posting that they didn't think much of the TSV and he has been deleting their posts!

    I'm even feeling meh about the Elemis TSV as yet again it contains Bliss Capsules,Nourishing milk bath and Quiet Mind Bath Elixir. The price of it would have to be less than the value of the tub of PCMC for me a buy I think. MrM will be pleased. x

    Surprisingly I'm feeling the same about the Elemis TSV, I don't need any more bath/shower products!! I was hoping for the eyecream and/or the serum! Luckily I ordered the Elemis stuff from Feel Unique when it was on offer so I don't need the TSV!

    I'm going to wait and see the price of the Leighton Denny stuff before I decide, I have been very restrained on QVC recently though :rotfl:

    HappyTorty - Ha! How brilliant to be able to get Advantage Points when buying a fridge :T

    Itzybitzy - you have some very exciting ins, especially the OPI Muppet varnishes :-)

    Dollypop - I kind of wish I'd bought that Elemis set when it was on offer. I was trying to be 'good' but then I bought the Origins things less than a week later!

    Willowbee -Poor you, huge, huge hugs heading your way from me. You have done nothing wrong, you only stated your thoughts. You gave others the oppertunity to decide for themselves after been given full information. As has the lady from Argan oil.

    I say - ignore the blighters! You know we all think you're marvelous!!!!

    I also did not purchase this box.

    Anyways, feeling a bit on the 'low' side today. It's come as a massive shock to me just how your mind/body reacts to stress. I thought I was doing OK, then suddenly think of something work related and burst into tears. I cannot believe how my own mind seems to 'ambush' me when I'm least expecting it. I know I'm feeling 'off' as my Philosophy TSV arrived this morning and it's still on the table - unopened..........

    I have had no in's this week, as I have lost my bankcard and so have no cash!!!! That's on way of achieving this challange!!! New card is on it's way. No idea what I have done with the other one - I had it on Friday night, did not take it out of the house all weekend, come Monday morning it's nowhere to be seen. I'm sure I will find it in the most unexpected place in a few months!

    I'm going to try and get an early night - might open the box and take a nice shower first with my new Grace.

    Hope everyone else is doing well.

    Hugs to Scrappie, sorry you are feeling low.

    Now go prepare for your shower, clean PJ's or whatever, warm towel, best candle ready to be lit, get out all your HG products and open up that box of "Grace". Well that's my personal prescription to you, enjoy and take care. xx
