    Dolly, I watched the clip this morning, the finished effect is lovely, but without being at all overdone. I had an attempt at copying the eyes, looked OK, but hopefully will improve. I am pleased to say that I have very few wrinkles in comparison with the model, but she has a natural beauty that I am envious of:)

    She did look great I agree, very glowing and I was very envious of her bone structure.

    Had to go into Boots today but came out without anything to add to the stash so still no ins at all this month.

    1 in - clinque cleansing balm - seeing as how i love this stuff and im due to run out i got another on yestrerday.....was going to wait and get one in duty free when im away in a few weeks but that would cost ££ so got it now but used boots points to pay for it

    Two uu's to declare: Percy and Reed wonder balm, a magazine freebie. I am impressed with this, it does seem to make other styling products much more effective, glad I stocked up when it was free.

    Also uu a mini Philip Kingsley moisture balancing conditioner (20ml), this was part of a gwp, I don't rate this at all, there are many cheaper and more effective products available.

    Happy pampering xo

    This is the one Am@zon gave me the other week. Definitely much better than the previous model and well worth getting in my opinion. Easier to use and far more effective - the abrasive surface is tough without being lethal.

    I'm wondering if you could use the replacement heads for the new one on the old one? Probably not but being as you have and have tried both I thought it was worth asking:money:

    I'm wondering if you could use the replacement heads for the new one on the old one? Probably not but being as you have and have tried both I thought it was worth asking:money:

    I've given the old one to my daughter now so I can't make a direct comparison, but I'm fairly certain that you can't as the design does vary. The new one resembles a Y shaped veg peeler with the file head positioned in the same place as a blade on the peeler.

    The old one resembles a shaver in shape, with the file head partially enclosed, which makes it a bit tricky to use.

    Edit: No Lumea to trial yet, but my freebie Sarah Beeny DIY book arrived... handing that over to DS with various pages highlighted. :D

  • 3 outs! Sold a few minis on eBay, think they cost me about 50p each and after postage etc I think I'm getting 70p each, so a little profit as well as clearing some space in the bathroom :)
    Ordered some makeup on Amazon but I don't count that, got Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, Rimmel Stay Matte powder, and a Bourjois powder brush. Looking forward to trying it all out, didn't technically need a new foundation but it's one I've had my eye on for a while and for 30p after vouchers I couldn't really resist!

  • Finally got my box out to declare my outs:

    Avon naturals strawberry body scrub, WNBEver!again! this stuff is disgusting, it's sticky, it leaves your skin greasy, the scrubby stuff sticks to your skin and in the end i needed to use my other halfs coltar soap to get clean :(

    Avon foot works - wnba, greasy, runny and I think i declared this but in case i didn't i'm including it.

    Soap and glory Make yourself youthful sachets x2
    WMBA, it made my skin feel really soft and clean but it's expensive and didn't help my fine lines

    Garnier moisture match
    WMBA, i have been using the dry to very dry, it's great for the dry spots on my cheeks but it's a little too greasy for my nose and chin so i think i'll try the normal to dry and see if they is a happy medium for me next time but i have another in the stash.

    La roche posay - effaclar duo, WMBA, left my skin soft and fresh but it's not an everyday need and i'm not sure what benefit it would have long term.

    Calvin Klein x2 1.2ml testers, WNBA, lovely perfume but i have so many i'm on a ban and they'll be another i like before i use them up.

    avon in bloom 1ml tester, WNBA, not my cup of tea
