Don't bother!
Hecky thump - I ventured out today in a break from work - it wasn't even that late into the day either. The Boots Perfume department was just HEAVING! I couldn't believe it... I'd gone in just to get a few more sniffs in of Stella in Two (mmm) and also see what the Euphoria Blossom scent from CK was like compared to the lovely Euphoria that I have - yummm!
Well I saw the crowds and turned round, there were people just everywhere so I headed to Smiths to stock up on my tissue paper - I just love compact gifts wrapped in tissue paper - and bought some nice hot pink and aqua packs - these totally match my tags made so far so that's good. Also bought some nice smallish envelopes to get my little cards made.
Then headed to Body Shop but for once I didn't come out with anything I really really wanted, just a new scrubby sponge and some facial loofah thingies as my skin is not liking this cold weather at all! But I have had great results with my Dr Ricaud eye cream - it's even better than eye rescue and I just dab it in before bed and the next morning there is no puffiness, no dark smudges, no dry patches, just nice soft eyes! Love it! I totally recommend Dr Ricaud products, am a real convert now. And considering the items I really wanted (exfoliant, eye cream, make-up remover) were all in the half price sale I am well chuffed as they also sent me free foundation - yet to try it but it smells lovely. I had a bad experience with some YSL touche eclat that started stinking and reeking in the pen nib bit after only a few weeks of being opened. Ugh it is awful and you just don't want it anywhere near your face! But this foundation smells exceedingly fresh and is very gentle on the skin.
Am also hankering after some of that face serum I borrowed off ma recently for Christmas, it's got essential oils in and you put it on before bed, and in the morning my skin is just so smooth and still moist (not oily at all). It's £30 for a bottle so it's got to be on the Christmas list. ;o)
Anyway, where was I? Oh yes Body Shop, yes well after my little spend there I ventured to Binns where the perfume dept was rather quiet so I did lots of trying and sniffing. No Euphoria Blossom, BUT they had Stella in Two in Eau de Toilette, which I'd not tried before. And it's fab (much prefer it to the Parfum I tried in Debenhams last week), smells like a cross between Eau d'Issey and the original Stella scent. It was a bit pricey in Binns for 25 ml. So I ended up going on ebay and have purchased the 50 ml bottle with 2 free handbag spritzers of the EDP for less (including postage). Not bad!
My DVDs are here from Amazon and need watching so off I pop!
