I’ve had an eBay alert forever for my favourite blusher (damn you M&S and your insistence on discontinuing good things!), and it finally came up trumps so I’ve happily snapped it up.

Result! I hate when good things get discontinued (I still miss Lancôme Flextencils!)

I’ve ordered this as I was running low on sunscreen. It looks quite nice.

I also really love the Naturium serum I posted on the previous page.

I'm also loving vitamin c atm - it's not something I've used much before but my current Pestle & Mortar and the previous Balance Me ones have both really boosted my skin in terms of glow and general evenness.

I got a sample of the Allies of Skin vit c and its really made a difference to my skin. It's hideously expensive, but you only use a tiny bit and it's really thick, which I like, I realise it might not work for everyone.

I ordered the new Clarins cleansing oil but I’m not a fan. It smells awful and is thin and not very effective. :mad:

I said something to this effect on fb and Clarins immediately contacted me. They are exchanging it for something else :perky:

Great customer service! Shame about the oil though.

My mum gave me half the contents of her Clarins advent calendar.

I’m not the only one to say it smells dodgy. Hopefully they’re sending me the updated milk one.

Anything exciting from the calendar?

The blue orchid face oil that I love, and my favourite body lotion ever, among other bits.

Thank you for the Wonder Water recommendations from a few weeks ago, it is finally available here and worked beautifully. I was quite sceptical but used it today for the first time and was very impressed

I ordered a REN hand wash and body wash from M&S yesterday and got a glow set free. They do have great offers.

Boots have 20% off premium beauty brands so I have spent some of my points on Drunk Elephant protini powerpeptide resurf serum. God, that’s a mouthful. Anyway, it’s free, and a little bit freer with the discount. :queenie1001:

Oooh, have you tried it before, Pip?

I wonder what ever happened to Queenie10000011001. I was fascinated by her.

I have a sample at the moment that I really like. It’s like Good Genes before it was reformulated.

I really want to know what that's like please, Pip.

Pip has made me order this pressed powder while there's a discount on. She was very insistent :mischief:.
