Mine was over a year ago. Someone on here was talking about not buying any more beauty products until they'd used up their stockpile, so I thought I'd do a list of what skincare I'd actually managed to collect in the last couple of years or so, Big Shock! I had absolutely loads of stuff enough...

I had a vertical split in index finger nail which always broke down to the nail bed (sore!), I didn't do anything about for over 2 years as I didn't realise I could treat it, but it has finally gone. Found that Nailtiques formula no2 and Trind Nail balsam sorted it after a few weeks- I got both...

Like this thread, makes me realise I'm nearly cured! Used to buy Elemis/Decleor/Liz Earle/Gatineau TSVs, but (not so) soon sussed out that actually this stuff is not that fantastic and too expensive. Gradually working through my rather large stockpile, how come when you are trying to use...

Wasn't the primer in a jumbo size the Beauty Pick of the Month fairly recently or is my memory failing me? I seem to remember it being flogged relentlessly not too long ago so surely people who bought it won't need more and won't buy this TSV? They must have tons of it!

Boots are doing an eyelash boosting serum in their No7 range, called 'fanomenal', costs £22 I think. I don't know what it's like and haven't heard much hype about it, just saw it in the shop before Christmas.

Fabulous news! Isn't it strange though that I'm sitting here feeling all emotional and choked-up? I don't know Graham or the mods or any of the forumites and I haven't even been posting on here that long (I have lurked awhile) and yet I feel so happy now! I was thinking I'd be quite sad if...

Everybody has said everything I wanted to say and I can't think of anything original- so Ditto!

Good grief!

I can't say anything about P&R volumising products as I my hair is way too thick and I need the opposite (always wanted shiny smooth flatter hair) but I got a tube of 'Finishing Polish' with a magazine last year and it was awful, very disappointed as everyone seems to rave about them. I thought...

Don't you just hate that? Decleor, Gatineau and Elemis are the most annoying with their exaggerated claims. I suppose you could argue that if you had really dry/dehydrated skin then of course applying moisturiser/serums or something makes it look better, less dull and will now look moisturised...

Well this is very shocking! I haven't been around here very long but am quite distressed that QVC would do something so low. I have admitted on here before that sometimes I've not bought things from them because of good advice on here so maybe they see that issue as threatening their precious...

Hi Tristar, you are most definitely not the only one and I can absolutely relate to your feelings. I need some noise in the house so always have radio or TV on in the room I'm in. I also find QVC comforting but do try to limit my viewing to things I'm actually interested in and definitely limit...

Thanks Marina but I've decided I don't really really actually need it, I've got a store of other stuff I'm determined to work through before I buy more. I have used PCMC and thought it was Ok but not fantastic and wasn't knocked out by Elemis cleansers either, so am not convinced that Elemis is...

Thank you for posting that! I was wavering for a moment and you saved me.....I'm trying to not fall for pseudo-science skincare rubbish and I was starting to get sucked into the anti-sagging blurb. I know in my brain that you can't change the structure of the skin with creams but my...

I saw a couple of bits of Perricone sales pitch yesterday, actually thought Alison was going completely over the top with her raves about ingredients lists/fact that he is a doctor/premium quality/stepping up to products that work/celebrity clinics. Amused me as she seemed to be suggesting...
