My skin doesn’t like it for some reason :lg:.

I use that and really like it. I bought the summer version and absolutely love the smell of that one. They last ages too.

This might be the summer one actually. It does smell really good which I'm pleased about as some REN products I find too much.

Does it make you break out, Ella?

It does, which is a shame because I like Ren products on the whole.

I’ve just gone to the JL site to see if there’ was any of the summer limited edition tonic any left in the sale but there’s not. There was a set in the sale with the dark spot :granny: sleeping cream and a large bottle of the regular tonic for £40 so I got that. The sleeping cream is usually £49 on its own! I’ve had a few samples before and really liked it.

Costco here had the Foreo UFO on their online specials today so I’ve ordered myself one.

I don't mind being Toast.

I haven't bought anything for ages.

Aw, that made me smile, Bean :love:

I forgot to check whether mine was the summer edition. The Christmas gift sets can be really good value, can't they?

I bought some Votary super seed facial oil in the Anthropologie sale (before christmas) and have been using it every day and really like it. It's fragrance free but not unpleasant smelling in the way some fragrance free things are (if that makes sense) and you can use it in the mornings not just at night as it sinks in nicely. I might try their day cream next as I've been looking for a new one since Caudalie changed their formulation on my favourite again.

I love a good oil. I've started putting them over my moisturiser in this cold weather. I think it makes a difference.

I have also been using that Votary oil and it seems to have made a big improvement on my dessication.

I've had that oil before, it came as part of a beauty kit from Liberty I think. I liked it a lot.

I currently have an Aurelia oil which I got the same way and it's also very nice. It's a night one and smells of rose and neroli which is lush.

The Votary one is in a Cult Beauty box at the moment.

I have been doing this for about 8 months and I entirely agree (body and face).

My UFO (not the 2) arrived this week and I’ve used it twice (with a Make My Day mask) and even MrE, who laughed heartily when he saw it and told me I had bought the most expensive torch he’s ever seen, has conceded that my skin is looking pretty glowy now.

Wow Est - seeing results after 2 uses is pretty astonishing!

There's an offer on the Votary website for 25% off so I just ordered the day cream to try.

I can’t remember where I read about this stuff last night, but I decided to do some more research this morning and found it half price on the Stila site so I’ve ordered it to try.

I'm absolutely loving the Lisa Eldridge foundation. Cos, emma_p and I queued at the Covent Garden pop up before Christmas so I got a perfect colour match. I'm only using a tiny amount and it looks so good.
