    You can buy kits from John Lewis online and its free P&P. Cleanse and polish and 2 cloths is £11.50 inc delivery.
  • Have been using Liz Earle C&P and their moisturiser for a couple of years now and I love it. Have ordered it from both from QVC (via Quidco) and Liz Earle direct depending on the deals, and with LE direct they've always sent me a 'free' gift -usually a 15ml of something or other. Just thought you'd like to know.
    Still looking for the perfect foundation, I'm 37 with combination skin (in quite good condition) with a 'medium' tone,so any ideas welcome.

    TIA

    I love it that Liz Earle always include a free gift. I always sell the freebie on ebay and that covers the LE postage.

    I have started using YSL Perfect Touch foundation and absolutely love it. If you can go into a department store and ask them for a complimentary make up using it, they actually did a full make up on me, I am now on my 3rd tube. I just love the stuff.

    I used to use Kerastase for years and LOVED it, however they reformulated it and put the prices up hugely and I fell out of love with it. It works out as £25+ for shampoo and conditioner. I then tried cheaper S&C like Pantene but my hair hated it. At the moment I am using Regis Olive Oil S&C from Regis hairdressers and quite like it. It hasn't got silicone in to gunk up my hair. I think the reformulation of Kerastase increased the silicones and my hair hated it.

    I am with about the silicone gunk; I didn't know about all the horrid stuff in pantene until fairly recently. It is expensive and I am not sure my hair is £25-worth happy with it! It is was amazing- like the creme de la mer for hair I could be happier.

    SURELY there is some hair range somewhere!!?
    Green and minimal chemicals is the new black- I know a fair old bit about sustainability, specially energy and transport stuff. If I can help- please ask!

    Oooh and everyone keeps commenting on my lovely skin - which may be alot to do with pregnancy skin but I think it has a lot to do with the new foundation I am using and its a bargain ( currently £2 off at superdrug / boots ) Its the new Rimmel renew and lift foundation - I love it CLICK.


    The shampoo and condtioner I always go back too is Charles Worthington moistureseal - I really like it and my hair always smells yummy. I have tried lots of posh and not so posh stuff and I really like it. Conditioner and Shampoo

    I love Mac and Stila eyeshadows, very soft and no wishy washy colours!
    Shu Uemura eyelash curlers really are fab, not sure why they do a better job but they do!
    Another good find is 17's Metallic Eye Pencil-they go on softly, give great colour, can be used as shadow or liner and last ages-you wouldn't know they cost under a fiver!

    If anyones an expert, I'd love some advice!

    I'm after a good bronzing powder-I'm very pale, found a couple but they seem to look quite sparkly ??
    I'm also after a foundation, my skins combination, fair and quite clear but I'd like something that evens out my skin (mild blotchiness and fading acne scars) and adds radiance?
    If it hurts no-one, let it be :beer:
