    Any idea where that might lurk on their website? Been searching all over and can't find any mention of it :*(
    hi well took me a while to find it but think you need an account(don,t know if that means a store card but should not do)if you go on the website on the top right of the page is a link to "my john lewis" and think you sign in for an account then can get on the beauty club bit....as am already signed in can,t do any more hope that helps,also when I found my original email I saw it said samples ended on the 30th of sep so I did well to get mine in Oct:)

    One of my friends has just mightily peed me off (whole body chill of fury!), so I'm going to have a very long relaxing shower, scrub and cleanse, then moisturise.

    Might have to wait as I haven't had breakfast yet and low blood sugar could be contributing to my rage :mad::mad::mad:

    evilsquid - I think a divorce is as good a reason as any for a treat.

    Kadison - your friend must be in shock, hope baby comes home soon.

    sam.4000 - 900ml of Tresemme, I feel your pain, that stupid little cap which is fixed on so you can't decant and have to balance it upside down halfway through.

    I have two uu

    Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - 30ml, really enjoyed using this again, have more in the stash so no need to buy just yet. Don't like the cloth though and always use a flannel, by the time I have unravelled a wet muslin cloth it has no heat left in it.

    BS Hemp Moisture High Balm - 40ml - This is the most horrible product known to man, I bought two pots of this for DD's eczema but she couldn't bear it, unfortunately this is the first one. I have used it as foot cream. Firstly it forms a thick skin on top very quickly after opening, it is mega greasy and never absorbs and lastly it smells like turpentine or gloss paint or similar - really vile. I love the hemp hand cream and foot cream but this is dreadful, however my feet are super soft.


    I also have ins

    Avon Cuticle Pen - this cost about £1.50 so no complaints there.

    MAC Kohl eyepencil in Powersurge - I have wanted this for ages and it doesn't disappoint, beautiful, flattering colour. You can use Debenhams beauty club card points online now so I used those to pay for this.

    Philosophy Sweet Gingerbread Cookie Shower Gel - also used points for this.

  • I got fed up of having haircare minis floating about, so I used them all up!

    4. L'Oreal EverRiche Shampoo sachet
    5. Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo 75ml (1/3)
    6. Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo 75ml (v little left)
    7. Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner 75ml (full)
    8. Superdrug Naturals Coconut Shampoo 50ml (nearly full)
    9. Superdrug Naturals Coconut Conditioner 50ml (2/3)

    And I also used up my Hand Food mini! :)

    :eek: in awe of your lush stash!! It's almost as big as mine! Happy days :j I like that I am not alone on this one. Luckily for us baths are more of a winter thing so we should manage well with our stashes.


    Haha, for me that looks really small! I mean, I only have four bath bombs, and three of them are the same! :P
    I'm moving back to uni on Sunday, and I may or may not have a bath tub in my ensuite (I took the room 'cause it had a bath, but they couldn't guarantee me it wouldn't be changed to a shower over the summer) so I've got my fingers crossed that I do and I can have all the baths! :)

    eek that's not very good. I have this but not got round to using it yet :o not sure if I want to after reading your review :) what a vile today today, hasn't stopped pouring all night and day
    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

    My friend is now close to becoming an ex-friend if she carries on like this! She was on her last chance as it was! :mad:
