Just that- I loved the Avon mascara( green tube) with Marie Claire. Didn't find the Neom Violet handcream good at all ( can't remember which mag) but i do love Neom Morocoan Rose candle lovely.

The Balance Me Rose Otto lip balm is pretty good.

The Balance Me facial wash is lovely. The Ren hand cream/eye serum/moisturiser not so great.

Hated the Jemma Kidd mascara - flaked all down my face. Think it was with Red magazine.

Nails inc polishes with InStyle - always really good. Particularly the 'bluebell' shade recently

Couldn't find an Elle with darker version of St Tropez,unfortunately.

MorrisZapp · 19/07/2012 22:46

The St Tropez was fab. Will buy full size.

Morris why not just buy multiple copies of Elle if it means that it is cheaper than buying a fs product?

MorrisZapp · 20/07/2012 07:51

Ooh not sure if it is cheaper that way? Will do the math...

Also hated the Jemma Kidd mascara.

Liked the REN eye and face cream, but thought the hand/body lotion was minging smelt like old lady.

Love the Avon mascara (black tube, for curly lashes).

The Ciate (sp) nail varnish that came free with a mag was great quality, but the colour made my nails look like a corpse (beigy neutral).

good thread!

Hated the REN stuff - smelt so weird

Rose Otto lip balm OK but so smelly. Wouldn't buy again.

Levantine · 20/07/2012 10:59

Avon mascara in a yellow tube was fab

I loved the Ciate nail polish, Jellybean. The best nail polish I've ever tried.
