snowleopard · 17/06/2008 21:08

Whoever recommended Bobbi Brown stick foundation (sorry can't remember) - it's great! And actually comes in Pale'n'Pasty.

margoandjerry · 17/06/2008 21:09

I'm all about the body shop hemp hand cream too. Though my boss accuses me of running a cannabis factory from my desk

spicemonster · 17/06/2008 21:12

I would also like to thank cod for the vitalumiere tip - I love it and I've been trying to find a foundation I like for years. I will check out that Barbara Daly concealer (is that from Tesco?)

spicemonster · 17/06/2008 21:15

margoandjerry - you're wanted on the meet up thread btw

LyraSilvertongue · 17/06/2008 21:15

WWW, what's Flexitol?

Pippo · 17/06/2008 21:17

WideWebWitch · 17/06/2008 21:27

Flexitol is fab foot cream that sorts out cracked heels and crappy feet

Miyazaki · 17/06/2008 21:37

Dunno who it was but the person who told me to kick my reeeedickuloss eve lom habit and try ultrabland.

my dh thanks you. and I look just as beautiful of skin.

And yes, Cod for flexitol

And WWW for Blinc

And MaryAnnSingleton for the nice coloured tights too

Piffle · 17/06/2008 21:47

I also ditched eve lom for ultrabland of my own volition. No change but the money.
But thats significant in itself

brimfull · 17/06/2008 21:49

link to ultrabland please girls

AitchTwoCiao · 17/06/2008 21:51

hmmm, i may try the ultrabland then. how much? is it from lush.
MI told me the M&S Eve Lom rip-off is more htan acceptable, i was going to try that next.

expatinscotland · 17/06/2008 21:54

it's about £9 in Lush, aitch.

their Dream Cream is FAB and, for a quick way to scent your room or wardrobe, try one of their bubble bar slices.

every time teh scent starts to fade, just break another piece of it off.

i take their bar soaps on holiday or for camping - have done for ages - because they're great not just for your hair but to wash clothes in a pinch.

not really a beauty tip, but for those of you who need a toothbrush holder for your electric brush, try this one:

lush do a brilliant face mask as well, i think it's the grape one. totally calms your skin if you have become a bit sensitised.

expatinscotland · 17/06/2008 22:03

i'm currently using this to scent my own wardrobes and drawers.

brimfull · 17/06/2008 22:06
