Clarins Extra Firming Body Cream, 30ml - This stuff doesnt last long with me! To much skin to firm haha! WNBA in full size though, too expensive
Burt's Bees, Radiance Eye Cream, 1.5g - WBA, love eye cream....ANY eye cream haha
Sopyhto Purifying Silken Cleanser, 15ml - WMBA. Didn't particularly like the smell of this but it worked really well and my face felt nice and clean after using it. It wasn't expensive!

I was price comparing online, and noticed Charles Worthington shampoos and conditioners at boots are 3 for £10, or around £5.20 individually

In Home Bargains, Charles Worthington full sized shampoos/conditioners are £1.99 and the travel sized ones are 99p. They're just in old packaging. HTH.

Hi All,

Been away on a course today, got home a little earlier than usual and used this as an excuse for a random stroll around Boots for nothing in particular which pretty much always leads to trouble! Found myself next to the reduced shelves.... You can see where this is going! Anyway I'm rather pleased with myself as spotted some Olay Regenerist Night Renewal Elixir for £7.49, usually £30 full price, there was three there so I got them all..... :eek: Must admit I've never actually tried this, if you have please let me know what you think of it. Planning on using one and Ebaying the other two so only one IN really and very MSE it is too. I had actually run out of specific 'night cream' but obviously had other moisturisers I could have used. Cannot resist a really good bargain though, I get a genuine rush of elation, which clearly is why I'm on here!! :rotfl:

Another tiny IN too from Home Bargains, Montagne Jeunesse Passion Peel off face mask - I've really nothing like this in the stash (off the top of my head, the list may say different), saw someone talking about face masks on here and though I fancy doing one so picked this up - not tried it before but it was only 79p I think.

Off work until Tuesday now :j:j:j

re earlier posts about ungrateful nieces! have now sorted out a pile of goodies and put them in the SSB boxes ready for next birthdays(they are the same week so not a problem to have similar stuff tho I have varied colours so they can swop/share,really pleased with them and all it will cost me is postage:j
Also as Dh brings me arran aromatics goodies back from work travels I have made up some gifts to sell at church coffee mornings...mini soap/bath foam/shampoo and lotion wrapped in organza fabric with a base of a circle of card and some sisal for decoration and tied up with beads on wire(used some of my flower arranging stuff Dh was very impressed but just need to think how much to charge as mostly older people on pensions go there ...I said £3 and Dh said £5 or less so will have to show friends to see what they think...feeling all creative now:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Those sound really lovely little gifts. Worth more than £3 but if you sell them at £3-£4 they will probably go, as people will put them aside for stocking-fillers.
Perhaps they would make suitable tombola, bingo or raffle prizes, I'm often on the hunt for those myself.

Has anyone used the Perfume Parlour, I saw it on another thread but thought I would try it before the postage price goes up. :mad: There is a discount for liking it on facebook but can't seem to find it, can anyone help?

Off topic I know but we are in a recession and the postage prices goes up, which will be a huge reason for everything to up apart from our wages.

I used perfume parlour a few weeks ago and I have to say they are really good. I got the 3x6ml for £10 so postage was free anyway. I don't have facebook anymore so I would give you my code, it should come up on screen as soon as you like them.

I have hypnotic poison, miss dior cherie and very irresistible and they all smell great. Look on the cheap smell alikes thread for recommendations I've had more compliments on these than the real things:rotfl: I used the very irresistible at 7.30am and I can still smell it now, I haven't topped up in the day either:j I want to buy some more but I should be using up mini/samples before buying any more. How much has the postage gone up to?
