Best sites to buy 'premium' ranged skin and hair products?

Just to try and save a little money,what are the best sites for cheaper prices and genuine products? (wouldn't touch ebay with a bargepole)

Mainly looking for my normal cleanser and toner - Clarins Cleansing Milk with Alpine Herbs and the toning lotion for dry skin, as well as Aveda Be Curly shampoo and conditioner
If women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?

    Do you know anyone going to the US? Aveda tends to be far cheaper out there!

    For Clarins, worth checking Debenhams, JL etc for gift sets - sell on any bits you don't need. I do that with Elemis sets, last time I paid £55 for two gift sets, made £65, so got cleanser, toner and moisturiser for -£10!

    I wish I knew doing going to the US,I've heard it' s much cheaper there.

    I've found a site called shoprush that have emailed me a 10% off voucher. The litre bottle of be curly shampoo is £40.80 there and the litre conditioner £58.65. So,already cheaper than elsewhere plus the 10% off and being litre bottles should last ages and already works out cheaper than replacing smaller bottles. Actually,that way it works out about the same as three bottles each of the label.m I used to use. So not expensive as it seems (justifying to myself here!) :)

    I like the gift set idea! I remember when I used to be able to get the cleanser and toner duo for £18 somewhere on offer but can' t now lol

    Yes, I use naturisimo or look fantastic, although the latter does bombard you with emails.

    I use cheap smells .com for mine.

    You can get cash back on quidco as well.

  • I use feelunique.com or beautyflashshop.co.uk and I agree with you Shegirl about ebay. I bought Dermalogica cleanser once and I'm very suspicious that it wasn't actually Dermalogica. My skin just didn't feel clean but as I hadn't used that particular cleanser before, I wasn't 100% sure. You live and learn though.
