Did you like the Basil Lemon one? I am about half way through my "Pink Rose Candle" set of Korres Wild Fig, I love the body butter too as it is very rich but absorbs well (I loathe anything sticky). When I have got through my stash of gel I think I would like to try something non floral.

Yes I liked it its got a very strong Lemon scent (couldn't smell the Basil I'm afraid) very refreshing. I know some people don't like certain lemon scents, so it might not be for everyone.

I'm on the Vanilla Cinnamon one now, can't smell the Vanilla, but it has a very strong Cinnamon scent, could smell it all the way to work this morning.

I loved the Body butter as well had the Guava one, which one was in your set? The set I have is the best of Korres got it for my birthday earlier in the month just have the mosituriser and the eye cream to try now.

Wondercollie - I really like Clinque take the day off, everything comes off super quick. I don't find the oil a problem but I also follow with a hot cloth cleanser so that probably removes any residue.

VALM - Wishing you all the very best of luck in your new job.

I went to the shopping centre this morning to get some PJ's for DS from Sainsburys, they do lovely ones, really thick and they have 25% off. All would have been well had I not popped into Debs with £5 on my beauty card burning a hole in my pocket. I was beyond excited when I saw that they have a MAC counter, it has just gone in and is pretty big. I have never bought from them in the past I don't think but I have now. I am now the proud owner of Naked Lunch and Satin Taupe, I have coveted the latter for a long time.

It just gets worse though as I then went to Boots to try this voucher and 3 for 2 combining thing and came away with the make up remover, a cream eyeshadow in a wand applicator and a cream blush in romantic - it came in at £8.50 - a bargain. I have two more sets of these vouchers but will try to resist.

Wondercollie - Another yes vote for Clinique Take The Day Off. This was my HG as it took all eye make up off without rubbing. Didn't have any problems with it feeling too oily. I now use the Garnier one as my HG due to cost/LBM. I am sure your sons GFs will love this nice gift.

Another UU - Elemis Skin Buff. WBA - really liked this. Just the right amount of scrubby bits.

Have you ever seen anyone spend so much on a shower gel.

Blimey!! that's an insane price, I thought my elemis shower gel was expensive but that's in a league of its' own :eek:

uu Liz Earle Botanical shine intensive treatment conditioner - was rather underwhelmed by this, I had to use my frizz ease spray to get the brush through my hair after this, didn't condition my hair at all, wnba

happy pampering, xo

Thanks for your kind thoughts dolly. I'm really looking forward to Monday.

Wow I wonder what it smells of?? I have been shopping for new shoes and clothes for work. I too took advantage of the Sainsbury's offer. Shame I hadn't known this was coming up as I bought 2 x pairs of pyjamas for Emma and I a couple of weeks ago - the lovely Boofle ones. Got some shoes from Matalan. Very pleased with them.

Went into Boots. Didn't buy anything but enjoyed mooching along the Christmas gift aisles. Seemed to be a lot more Soap and Glory and Gok Wan sets than usual.

Bought some V05 Give me Moisture shampoo and conditioner (2 x bottles of each). Sainsburys have it on offer at £3.90 per bottle buy 2 for £4.00.

Another UU: Bottle of Cutex Ultra Cleansing nail polish remover. Have another ready to be opened. Am going to repaint my nails with OPI Fly and Metallic for Life.

i had a look the other day, the food stuff seemed ok, wouldnt pay full price for it though! i may have a look on our traditional boxing day 11am trip to Boots :rotfl: not much in the way of toiletries though. i think boots have kind of shot themselves in the foot with the 3 for 2. the first few years, we all thought it was brill getting one free but now everyone knows it from boots and cant help think "was i the free one then?" to every one you get.

Hah! I have used it for years but Bioderma is so much nicer and you don't have to tissue off excess!

Some in's to declare I'm afraid!

3x Champneys Thai Royale Body Polish, got a great deal on these in Boots, reduced to £2.50, on 3for2 and a 400pts coupon - effectively £1.

Beauticology Gingerbread/fudge/chocolate bath set - part of the Boots xmas range, £4. A big Philosophy rip off but I thought I'd give it a shot.

No7 wipes, No7 eyeliner and No7 nail polish in a berry colour (on trend apparently).

Dirty Works Body Butter sample, smells pretty good

That has to be fake, there's no way a bloke would spend that much on shower gel :rotfl:or would they :eek:
