Found these seriously cute pink boxes with butterflies on today - £2.99 each - good quality (well, considering!) plastic including the lids. Another variety also instore with pink circles on.
I wanted them so much I got 2 even though I was on my bike!! They were going fast.

Came up on receipt as Deco Stockholm 22L box asst.

The nearest comparison I can find online is here (pattern is different though - HB ones are more 'younger' designs, if you see what I mean!)

I found some vie products in HB Birchwood today - toner, eye cream, make up (powder, mascara, eye shadow, eyelash curlers).

Still looking for the day/night creams though - anyone seen any in the Manchester / Warrington area??

The Salford shopping city had two night creams in stock. A deep thought one i think and a overnight one if memory serves me right!

I have just bought some of the Vie night cream and it is solid, not like a cream at all. I am guessing this is because it is old or is it meant to be like this?!

Do you think it is still OK to use?!

Thank you

I think it's supposed to be like this.......I used to use Vie all the time, across the range, and can vaguely remember the consistency of one of the night creams being this way. It feels lovely on the skin though and not greasy at all x

Hi I used to be a Vie consultant the night cream should be thick a bit like whipped cream. Hope this helps, not totally solid tho.

sarah2503 and sueh6 - thank you for your help. I don't think I have ever managed to whip cream as thick as the Vie night cream I bought! Still, my skin seems OK after using it for a few nights so I will keep on using it!

Sorry this isn't about HB finds, but is relevant.

I recently found a forgotten tube of handcream bought on holiday cos I had forgotten to pack any - I think 4 years ago - and I can tell you that the smell of cream that is 'off' is unmissable!
