Anyone tried that new Garnier micellar water? 400ml bottle- twice the size of the L'Oreal version - for the same price.

Someone tell me its good and will replace my beloved Bioderma?

I've found a website that ships French pharmacy stuff to the UK for like 10 euros - or free if you spend 100 euros. Super tempted tbh.

I am using the Garnier at the minute for a first cleanse, it leaves the skin refreshed like bioderma, Im not sure its perhaps quite as good as the bioderma (I only tried a few sample sizes of bioderma) but as its relatively cheap you can afford to be generous. I think it depends on what eye make up you wear to whether it would be very good in this area. I tend to wear tubing mascaras, urban decay eye pencil and no eyeshadow and its removed it quite effectively - not on the first swipe though but no frantic rubbing required either.

Escentual.com have some offers on french pharmacy brands (and they have bioderma in stock - think you can get delivery for around £2 or free if you spend around £40.


No UU today - but 2 ebay outs.

Sundaysgirl

UU:

51. Yves Rocher Nutri-Repair Conditioner 150ml - probably WNBA, it was fine but had to be careful to use just on ends as it weighted my hair down, unlike many others.

I'm onto my beloved Ojon now, 30 days to go and want to get my hair in tip top condition!

Babafette hope you're feeling ok now

No progress to report apart from the fact my shampoo is spluttering :j I am so very bored of it, this fills my heart with great joy. Mentioned it to DH and he didn't share my excitement(?!) so I felt the need to spread the news here At least I know you'll understand!

nillionare - the nails sound nice.

Fizzwhizz - I know what you mean.

I have a uu

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser - 15ml, this was for very dry/dry combination, I don't have dry skin so used it on my neck area. I fail to see what is dramatically different about it though.

rosemary - you do seem to have a lot of bad luck with ebay. I only bid if I am happy to pay the postage quoted.

Boots bullied me I went to try and buy new trainers yesterday but couldnt find any I liked boo! But the sports shop is right next door to boots...
3 ins... 3for2 and used boots points so all free (still have £16 left too )
Rimmel - Scandaleyes eyeliner - nude
Rimmel - SunShimmer bronzer - Light Matte
Collection - Lasting Perfection concealer - warm medium. < I have problems with foundations/concealers my skins a really weird annoying colour, can get the right kind of shade but my skins yellowy the benefit lady could not match me!!

And talking about that just reminded me I have a voucher for a free bare minerals consultation and foundation sample from a magazine and I don't know where I've put it I knew I should have left it in the magazine!!

( also picked up a boots magazine... theres a clinique blush in the back which looks soooo pretty I'm half tempted to use whats left of my points and get it !)

UU no 5 (I think) for March. And 20 for total

Bomb cosmetics cherry bath bomb: WNBA got a couple of boxes of bomb stuff to try out but I much prefer bubbles: lush bubble bars to bombs

Ooh an unexpected use up- 6/ 21/ Trevor sorbie volume shampoo. WNBA I fee this has irritated my eyes every time I've used it although there is a possibility I have more in the stash I don't think I do!

IN ModelCo mascara - I'm not getting along with my current mascara, so thought I'd get this one instead as it was free with this months Glamour. I'll hold onto the old one on the off-chance B**ts do another Clinique swap.

Does anyone know whether there is a Clinique mascara swap in the pipeline? It's my fave mascara and I love the minis as I never get through a full size one. I know there are a lot on the Bay of E but tbh I'd rather get one from a shop as you never know how old things are or whether they've been tested on eBa!

I've seen him a few times recently at my local comedy club, XS Malarkey. £3 :whistle:

He's very cheeky on stage but super sweet off.

He was ok. I didn't enjoy watching him "in the round" in the end as found it annoying having to switch my gaze from the overhead screen to him every time he turned around. TBH it didn't help that I had drunk so much before hand. I may have fallen asleep ...... Ooops.

Hangover was gone by day 2 though - thanks for asking Fizz.

Firstly the UU:
1. Boots extracts mango body butter (50ml)
2. Body Shop strawberry shower gel (250ml)
3. Boots cranberry body wash (75ml)
4. Soap and Glory flake away (50ml)
I love all of these products so WBA...just got to use up the stockpile I have first!

The Boots Cranberry body wash is the only one of those products that I haven't used but I too love all the rest. I used a bit of Emma's TBS strawberry body polish this morning and that was divine.
