Thankyou so much for you really helpful replies Iambroke and cat72.
I will give the lemon aid Benefit a miss and am just going to check out the Clinique eye base you recommend on the Boots web site.:beer:

ALSO...

Re £2 luxury bathing voucher, when I used it from the wrap it went through on all the Soap and Glory range, not just bathing stuff.
I used it on the pack of lip plump glosses and hand cream.

I wanted to ask you bootsers about YSL touche eclat - have you used it and does it really make you look awake...is it the magic wand it claims to be? Im only 22 but some days i feel 92!! Its £23 (cheaper on ebay!) but not sure if Boots sell it and if its any good -

Comments welcome! X

I was given a demo in Boots by the YSL ladies, and liked the effect, but couldn't justify spending £23.
I later saw an offer on MSE re BuyCosmetics.com I think it was, getting loads of Nectar points, and £25 of freebies. for spends over £10....so treated myself to some TE - cannot remember how much, about half the RRP.

Used it a couple of times, then one morning woke up looking like I had an eye infection. All skin under the eye was all puffy and swollen, took a good few days for it to settle down. I didn't think to connect it to the TE, but every time I used it again the same thing happened ! :mad:
REALLY annoyed as I had been so impressed by initial results, I had sent off for another one :eek: .

I have had pms from others who have also had a bad reaction, so I would advise to make sure you sample it first a couple of times at least 'in store'. It is an expensive mistake to make if you find you cannot wear it.

If I had bought it in one of the dept stores I may have been tempted to return it, but never thought to send it back to BuyCosmetics.com. Anybody tried to ? - anyway, this was months ago, so probably wouldn't take it now as it was so long ago that I bought it.

By the way, I am an OLD BAG, - won't see my 20's again, so I don't know if that would make me more prone to having an adverse reaction. Cannot say I have ever had a bad reaction to skin products or cosmetics before, and I have used LOADS of diff makes over the years, and cannot afford the REALLY expensive ones.

I got some of the free SS skincare range (from Times mag), so will report back if I have any bad reaction to that.

Just like to add I think Ethel looks FANTASTIC. I see the straightening even cured you eye-sight !! - good old Boots

boots are big fat liars-i went in today and no sign of any freebie when you spend £5 on 17 products(i made my sister ask as i didn't want to spend money) so just got a twirl and some coke to console myself-plus i sprayed myself liberally with a new perfume aswell -well actually all over my jacket bag and myself so that made me feel better-my mobile smells nice now!

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sorry i just found this sooooo funny, i'm glad its not just me that consoles myself with chocolate if i can't get a boots fix...and the bit about your mobile had me in stitches....my purse really does smell nice, my b/f got some money out of cash machine the other day and when he went to put it in my purse (well trained, he doesn't own a wallet:rotfl: ) he actually sniffed my purse!

Just noticed on ebay someone selling the lilac bag free gift with a trial perfect & protect, so it looks like theres some in there as well. I didn't get any of these but for those of you who did it might be worth digging them out to check one has sold for £16.

I use the YSL Touche wotsit and had no problems.. then again my skin is as tough as old shoe leather and I rarely have a reaction to anything, lol
I would recommend going into a store and getting a SA to give you a demo how best to use it cos the results are amazing, although I had thought it was pretty expensive crap til she showed me.

Thank you.. takes a lot of slap to look like that tho :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
The hair aint too bad after sleeping on it, had to get a few kinks out from the bedhead but if that's all I have to do then I'm happy If only my eyesight was cured.. twas the vanity that made me leave the goggles off

Going to straighten my hair this afternoon, fingers crossed can do it all ok. Thanks for the advice ethelbloggs.

You can cure your eyesight - I have, just had laser eye surgery and its the best thing I have had done. Wish I had done it years ago.

EthelBloggs

oooh good luck!!! You won't need it tho.. tis easy peasy, just time consuming but soooo worth it :D:D:D:D

I've thought about the laser eye surgery but not sure if my eyes are compatible with it, cos I've got astigmatism (wrong shaped eyeballs) :eek:

look on ebay - someone has bid £135 per bottle of serum on an auction ending in 2 hours - i think they probably think they have bid £135 for 3 bottles but didn't realise cos its one of those multiple auctions

:eek:

Its probably a Boots SA,auction wrecking!
