    I stumbled across the Jouer counter in Henri Bendal whilst looking for a brew and some sort of chair to sit and drink it in after walking 20 blocks with nary a Starbucks in sight and caught sight of the vanity case I saw online in jan when I was looking for a new one and fell in love with. Only reason I don't get it was cz nobody shipped it to England. It was filled and worth over $300. Should have been $200 according to my research but the SA insisted it was $150 with a free $32 bronzer and I didn't feel much like arguing lol.

    This is it and it came with all the make up in the photo :o
    I'll admit to never having heard of Jouer makeup, but I just love that case!

    Evening ladies. Hope everyone is doing fine.

    I have to UU's -

    Olay Facial Wipes - WMBA. I got these for £1 and they do the job just not very exciting.

    Ultra Swim Shampoo - WNEBA. Another hated product gone forever :beer:. Repurposed as shower gel.
    Also I have two splutterers - my mini Elemis cleanser & toner.

    I love the Weleda Pomegranate body oil (an HG for me :)).

    I'm just starting to use the Weleda Pomegranate eye cream, serum, day and night cream. I'll let you know how I get on with them! :)

    I have this, received through a magazine subscription offer, but so far untried, I will make a point of trying it soon. :p
    It's the Wild Rose Weleda products that I have, nice scent but so far unimpressed.


    I have looked out 2 gifts I bought in the Boots January sales to give to BF's mother and sister :Aas we are going for dinner there tomorrow. It's all about earning brownie points ;)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    That's interesting. I've never tried the Wild Rose products but they always sounded nice :o I didn't like the Pomegranate Night Cream at first because I thought it made my skin shiny but it turns out that it just takes longer to sink in than a normal cream. (This would be v annoying in a day cream but fine at night).

    The body oil is lovely. It smells of oranges to me :) I think you're meant to apply it to damp skin so that it spreads more easily/you use less product. I'd been merrily applying it to dry skin for ages before I read this! :rotfl: It sinks in really quickly either way. I hope that you like it :D

    I hope you get lots of brownie points thanks to your gifts! :rotfl:

    Well done for selling 5 things! :T

    My auctions end tomorrow. Two things have bids and the rest have watchers :j Any money goes straight to my overdraft :rotfl:

    Very sorry to hear that you've had another argument with your D(?)H :( I hope that it's sunny where you are so you can get out into your garden and forget about him for a while.

    Oh Rosemary. That's horrible :(

    I hope that he is much nicer when he returns from his swim. (Sounds unlikely but I just hope it happens...)

    Maybe he meant he hoped that you would be? Hope your holiday is better than you think it will be.

    Failing that, don't try to drown him if he can swim :D
