Bigger tube today, happy to try, but still waiting for a nice handcream.

I have the eyes of a cobra at the moment so all remedies welcome.

Hello!

Ooh another thread 😁

Was this eye cream in last year's calendar? I've got the same one on the go already anyway that I'm trying to use up. Never mind - I do need to get eye cream into my permanent skin care routine so this will get used. Really need a handcream next....

Thank you, Milly, for this 2nd thread! Thank you also to those who did the value updates in my absence. Had a lovely weekend with my son but he's not as interested in the grand opening of the boxes each morning as you lot! 😁
Going to save today's eye cream for when my Body Shop Vitamin E eye cream is finished. The value is £13.33 which brings our running total to £207.95.

Today was a real let down. Why two eye creams? This is really highly scented too which is odd for an eye cream.

I agree with others that some makeup or normal moisturiser would be good.

I'll definitely be buying the mascara and the elastisizer again. But I'll be actively avoiding absolutely any product from dreaded Skyn Iceland.

Thanks for new thread!

Bit disappointed to have another eye cream but it seems to have good reviews on various sites and saves me buying any for a while (so I can justify spend on make-up that we didn't get in the calendar )

Am I alone in enjoying the Skyn lip balm?

No, not alone. I like it. It’s had no particularly positive or negative effects on me and appears to just be a normal lip balm.

Just place marking really - quite pleased with another eye cream. The Filorga one is coming to an end for me so nice to try a different one.

I found the nail polish chipped really easily, even with top coat on it. Did anyone else find that? Great colour but needed a LOT of upkeep.

I like the lipbalm apart from it being too hard to squeeze the tube, it takes a lit of squeezing and then only about 1mm comes out.

I agree about the polish chipping too, Input it on on Thurs (I think?) and had to do major repairs the next day and the day after. Lovely colour though.

MeetOnTheSledge I thought it was just me with the lip balm! It's nice but blimey it takes some effort to get it out of the tube.

Interesting what you are all saying about the Leighton Denny polish - I've always said that his polishes are 'one night only' as they chip really easily. Same with Nails Inc. However the LD polish remover is one of the best I've ever tried and I have repurchased several times.

Overall am liking the contents so far. Love the Pixi Glow Tonic and will repurchase. Would definitely like a handcream somewhere along the line.

I don’t mind another eye cream but I’d prefer something for the face - mask or moisturiser, I don’t mind.

Trying to think of brands that might pop up but haven’t yet. Gatineau? Korres?

The first eye cream in almost used up so please for the 2nd.
Have found the neck cream from last year so I am using that before I use the new one.

When should you use the eye creams? Morning or night. I could not find any specific info for the filorga one

I am delighted with another eye cream as I use it morning and night.

I like the lip balm too. Also liking todays eye cream more than the earlier offering.

Morning! I really wanted a make up item today too! The eye cream is at least a make I have wanted to try something of.

With the state of my under eye area, I'm more than happy to see another eye cream. Maybe I should be hoping for polyfilla.
