(1) I drink at least 1.5 litres of water a day

(2) Loreal Facial Skin Wipes (the one that foams up with water) absolutely brilliant, I have combination skin which is very oily in the t-zone. Since using there has been a major reduction in the amount of greese on the face.
(3) Loreal Anti Regreasing Moisturiser, again brilliant at reducing oils
(4) Forever Living Aloe Vera juice in the morning and before bed
(5) Forever Living Body Scrub - seen a reduction in the appearance of cellulite
(6) Forever Living Lip Balm for dry lips and smells really tasty
(7) MAC cosmetics (carry it with me wherever I go)
(8) Plenty of fish, veg and fruit
(9) Last but not least, a nice bit of loving from the hubby, very good for that permanent glow!

The Things l couldn't live without are

1. Gatineau skin care products- smell beautiful and they do what it says.
2. foaming cleanser from the above - rids your blocked pores and leaves the skin soft as silk
3. solar oil - for soft subtle cuticles - and encourages growth.
4. Erdic - natural boob enhancing - the thought is cool but has anyone else used it?
5. lip ink by avon it lasts ages
6. cellulite cream a tiny tiny bit on your brow helps them grow again -no joke l shaved my eyebrows off for a dare when i was younger (and stupid) and only half grew back - now they are coming back - yipee
7.And the biggy is in the morning laugh/smile about something and it gets you ready for the day

Strange but True.

Smiler - have to say I haven't tried Erdic, I'm not sure if they're the one that was on TV recently for not doing what it says on the tin Did try QuickBust though and it seemed to make a difference, but ran out and haven't had the £££ to order more. Was gonna try 'The Perfect C' which Tara P-T has used, supposedly to good effect, but it more expensive. Can PM you the link for QuickBust if you like...

I couldn't live without my oats lol............ and no it's not that kind of oats LOL

When my son was little he suffered from bad excema, so my Mum told me about this tip.......28 years ago lol........
It worked a treat......... but he hates eating them even now he is nearly 29 lol...

Fill a stocking with Oats ,tie it up and then drop it in the bath, run the hot water first and let the oats swell up.....................
Makes the water lovely and soft and I still do it to this day, I have very dry skin in the winter, must have been the for runner of the bath bomb....... So I call it the sock bomb lol................
Then I finish it all off with a nice Solar Silk smothering xxxx
Thats my must have xxxx Oats and Solar Silk, how cheap is that lol

  1. Chanel Toffee Brume Lip Liner (my desert island must)
  2. Dermalogica Barrier Repair Cream (make up goes over it beautifully)
  3. Chanel Cream to Powder make-up
  4. Touch Eclait
  5. Lippety Split Gloss (all colour ways are gorgeous)
  6. Exfoliating Enzyme (Nimue)
  7. Solar Silk as body moisturizer - brilliant. I only like body cremes that smell of my perfume so do not like to wear very strong lotions - Solar Silk does the job and the smell dissipates quickly allowing your perfume to shine through!!
  8. Chanel blusher (they last years - I have had 3 for at least 10 years which makes it THE BEST VALUE for money - 10 years later! )
That's me done

bimbogeri - thanks for your reply. That would be great if you pm me about the other one - never heard of them. l bet you need golden items to afford it - thanks again especially if it does work. That's what happened to me after 2 babies like l have said previously (in a very old thread) if l wanted a cleavage l would have to put a wonder bra on my bum!!

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream....bet there has been a 'rush' on this product lately!!!


Where can you buy it from / how do you apply it.

I gave my mum a facial yesterday and used a collagen face mask (like a cut out fabric thing soaked in all manner of things ...inc collagen)

Skin looked amazing after.

Thanks

...feels tingly and a bit numb, not sure if i actually look much different tho - maybe I'll have to do a street poll, like they do on that programme; '10 years younger'...!
You know, I've heard the same about the hemmoroid cream, heard it's good if you have bags under your eyes and things like that...you guys think it would work for stretch marks??
