May I also recommend the Dove Beauty Bar (soap?) Nicely moisturising and only 99p a bar. Also given a rating of 1 for safety by the Cosmetics Database (http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/index.php?nothanks=1) where 0 is the safest and 10 is the worst.

I try to get around it and save money by using fewer products: using a washcloth to exfoliate my face, pinching my cheeks rather than using blusher, &c

Hi
I have currently found an amazing shop in York- The Designer Outlet! It has all the designer make up Mac, Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder & Clinque for discounted prices! I was amazed as i currently bought an Mac eyeshadow for £10 they had the exact one for £6.50!!
Get ya selves off! Its near Claires Accessories!
Also i find that ASDA'S own dark hair henna sham,poo is amazing and loads better than high street brands! Also Home Bargains is brilliant for high street brands i.e shampoos, n tolietries at cheap cheap prices!!!

If you register with the site you can enter the ingredients on the packaging and get a rating for yourself. It's an American-based site so they do not have too many UK brands there.

The tesco finest exfoliator (in the self tan range) is now half price in my store (assume in all stores) A bargain at £1.50. I recommended this earlier in the thread.

This might help: http://www.cosmeticscentre.uk.com/?config=4707&src=WC-191154aaaCD22319:161339:

It's the chance to get a free MAC make-up kit . There's a few web-sites if you try Googling 'MAC cosmetics'.
