    Hmm wonder what make it is. Still, it's better than the teething toothpaste and bin liner trials I had before...Ugh dunno if I can use it though, the smell is really bad. Smells like something you'd buy down the market with a name like Nevear instead of Nivea, lol!

    Lol, your post made me laugh. It always makes me chuckle when I see the fake perfume names - Channel for Chanel etc, some of them are very inventive :rotfl:

    I didn't think it smelled too bad at first sniff, but it leaves a really odd aftersmell, sort of plasticky.

    Incidentally, anybody else had any invitations today? I had three earlier this morning but when I logged on there's absolutely no sign of them, not even with a "full up" cross next to them. The invitations were slightly different as well. I'm wondering if they've changed things so they won't show up in your trials once they're full up.

    If you look up plasticky in the thesaurus, I think it translates to 'cheap and nasty' :rotfl:

    I've had the bubble bath trial.

    Bit stingy with the amount - half a teeny bottle of each type, but smells good.


    I've got this and it is also MDS. Smells lovely and looks good quality too, a goldeny pearlised colour.

    Yep. got this too -for vitamin C stuff. Emailed them and they said "if you are already doing a trial for face they wouldn't show up". I'm not though. Think they sent the email to the wrong people.

    Same happened to me. They said they will look into it. Shame, sounded like nice trials.

    Have you tried yours yet? I tried it earlier and my skin feels really lovely ... my make up went on great afterwards too! :D
