    Oh dear!

    Ummmm...If it helps, I bought mine in Jan for that price so they have had it at that price for a long time, so I don't think it's just a Summer sale price. (less reason to rush? On the flipside, it was a limited edition)

    It is a very fresh scent - cucumber & mint but with a sweet background. (My sense of it, not the official description ;)) It lasts for a surprisingly long time and the bottle is going to last forever (in a good way :rotfl:)

    Ok here are my UU's for tonight:

    Malin & Goetz lip moisturizer - very soothing, but too petroleum jelly like for my taste.

    Tonymoly floria cleanser sample - I really need to find a way of getting my hand on this, this is just a lovely scented and moisturising facial cleanser

    Large bag of cotton balls - I go through these so fast as I do my nails almost every day.

    Have just looked this up. You lot are such a bad influence. I don't even use Liz Earle products, would love to try them though. Will stay strong until the stash is significantly reduced. It does look like an amazing offer, but I was appalled at the thought of adding 11 whole products to my already huge collection:eek:...maybe I'm cured.:)

    Hi everyone and big welcome to indiepanda. I stayed home today and can declare DAY 7 as a NO BUY, in fact a complete No Spend. On Q** the TSV is Liz Earle, but I have not weakened.:j

    ValM I read that too about Smashbox, then I read somewhere else that they were not leaving UK and offering a free Primer sample in an attempt to get people to sign up to their on-line store. I like some of their eye products and have several great brushes too. When you hit the store locator button, it says no details of stores at present, but they "will be coming to the high street late summer", it has been muted on some blogs that this would be in the form of a presence in B**ts.

    Hi maddiemay. I only managed to catch a small clip of LE yesterday whilst waiting to go out and it wasn't the TSV. I think the problem now with the Q is that the TSVs come around too quickly. It's not that long since the last one which I got on Advanced Orders. These kits are great if you are a newbie to her range or know you love the majority of the products in them but I now only buy her cleanser (for Emma), toner and moisturiser to use regularly. The last kit also contained the Nourishing Body Cream which is still the only moisturiser that keeps me moisturised all day and I always mean to repurchase it but then don't as it is that bit more expensive than other body lotions/butters. There were more full sized products in the last kit as well.

    I hope that Smashbox does appear instore at Boots. I've noticed that it's gone from Debenhams in the Trafford Centre.

    I've just seen on ST.com that there are going to be some Philosophy Outlet shows so I wonder if their relationship is coming to an end. Very sad. The Q always managed to get something a little different than the High Street. Maybe Boots and John Lewis can now expand the range though.

    If it's a fab deal to you and you use all the products, why not?

    I will probably be out for the OPI shows today so will have to set Sky to record. Want to see the Minnie Mouse demos. I'm looking forward to the OPI Autum Winter collection due for release in October I think.

    I can't remember who posted about it but have had a look at that Undressed palette online and it looks gorgeous. May see if I can get hold of one today. The only eyeshadows I own are contained in a Smashbox palette that I bought on impulse inflight a couple of years ago and I haven't really used much of if because the colours are too bright. I've recently had the Clinique freebie trio in nude colours and like this. The palette would be great for travel though. Does anyone know whether you can use the colours wet?
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
