Hi

1st post so be gentle.

Sainsburys in Forestside has some of their Champneys Spa products reduced to half price. Picked up 2 skin soothing Rose bath cream and body lotion sets 300ml bottles in gift bag for £4 down from £8 - also had loads of the "oriential" sets down from £18 to £9 also in gift bag.

Nice wee treat for yourself if like me you cant justify spending full price on their products or as a gift for someone special.

HTH

    Nice stuff but can be pricey - sort of stuff you drop hints about to other people but really looks the part if you want to impress someone with a "looks more expensive than it actually was" present when reduced to half price
  • Might look nice & seem good quality - but all marketing. Common cheap & nasty ingredients quite likely - look out for sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, parabens, propylene glycol, DEA, TEA , liquid paraffin etc - if it has some of these you're just paying for a name & nice packaging. Only my opinion of course - but also likely to give anyone with sensitive skin a bit of a problem.

    what do all the nasty ingrediaents do to you if you dont have sensitive skin?
  • Some are thought to be linked to causing cancers. (eg paraben preservatives) & are also hormone disrupters (ie mimic oestrogen) - so its your choice!
