The Fenty colour range is amazing, and I'm tempted too, but I got suckered into an 'amazing' deal online and have a new foundation ready to use, if it's the right colour.

I also meant to say the eyeliners are gorgeous and go on so nicely. I have both on, the darker blue on my waterline and smudged a bit and then the lighter grey blue over the top.

I’m reporting back on the Pixi Vit C tonic, it’s really nice. So is the retinol one, but I like the Vit C more. It’s 1/3rd off at M&S at the moment so I bought a larger bottle for when the little one runs out, which will be soon.

Thanks for the report, Pip. I'll get some to try.

I’ve ordered the Oskia body scrub just in case there’s any danger of me getting my legs out this summer.

[Pippedydeadeye]

My legs are in dire need of attention. The This Works stuff in the M&S box was nice on them yesterday.

I nearly bought more Pixi Jasmine oil but I’ll wait until I run out.

For bloody hell's sake. I have been using up various things from various beauty boxes and am currently using Nurse Jamie Miracle Base. I generally get a blotchy reaction to using codeine (which I can bring down over a few days with various products) so I don't use it anymore, except I had surgery a few weeks ago and was "OK I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE BLOTCHES BRING ME CODEINE". But it never happened, and my skin was just getting weirdly better, and it coincided with starting the Nurse Jamie sample.

Might not have been that, might have been something else. But I thought I would buy some anyway in case it actually is a miracle.

£120 motherfucking quid.

On the plus side, it's 120ml so actually no more than DE per ml. On the minus side, I'm not totally sure it is responsible and the Kardashians like it (which makes me write it off as marketing guff). It's just a few flower oils. Surely these are in other things.

Damn nice things.

[Luna]

Damn that miracle cream! :lol:

It's so annoying when you find something that works so very well but costs so very much.

[Angus]

Totally. I love the Barbara Stern (?) Hyaluronic drops but at £200 odd quid I won't be buying them.

Please report back on the scrub, Ella. I'm in the market for a new one.

[Shoe]

I have the same issue with the Darphin 8 flower nectar which is £100 a bottle. I love it, it really suits my skin and helps it look better but it's such a little bottle and so expensive.

[Mountain Goat]

I was excited to not be that bothered by the Barbara Sturn stuff, I had no idea what was lurking in my future.

[Pippedydeadeye]

The Darphin stuff is bloody amazing though. I have a tiny sample I’m ekeing out.

[Shoe]

I've just finished my tiny sample. :cry:

[Cosmopolitan]

Totally. I love the Barbara Stern (?) Hyaluronic drops but at £200 odd quid I won't be buying them.

Me too. And the May Lindstrom Facial Dew - honestly I looked like a better version of myself. £124! Ridiculously lovely smell though too.

[Ella]

Look what I was sent free with my body scrub .

[emma_p]

Wow. What a treat, Ella. Maybe they are vintage from the actual 80s?

[Cosmopolitan]

Retro.

(I actually bought some a while ago and forgot how much more comfortable they are in my hair)

[Ella]

Wow. What a treat, Ella. Maybe they are vintage from the actual 80s?

S didn’t know why I was being a bitch about them :)). I suspect an ex-girlfriend wore them.

Do you wear them OUT OF THE HOUSE, Cosmo?

[emma_p]

You could wear them on your wrist
