I tried that stuff
(for free) and it's rahbish.

[edit]Clarins, on the other hand... :)

She likes that
as well... every flat surface in the bathroom is covered with this frickin' stuff

arg yes
and duty-free compounds it - "Look darling, it's cheap - this one's only £15 for 15ml! - we can buy 20 bottles"

ACK! ACK ACK! ACK!

tell her
the less she puts on her face, the better her skin will be. Honest.

I wash my face in the morning and put on a moisturiser and an eye cream - in the evening I wash it with just water and leave it one day and use a cleanser thingie the next. It's a whole lot simpler than a lot of girl's routines and my skin has magically cleared up by huge amount.

Sorry. I don't know what came over me then. ;)

Have you got
any knitting patterns you'd like to exchange? ;)

I found that it was lovely
for about 3 days and then made me feel like my face was on fire. I believe that's not the right reaction.

That'll be
the corrosive acids they add to it, so they can then sell you 'Soothing Balm' or something for thirty quid a pop...

I resorted to
some stuff from Lush that was made of roses and bee poo.

Lush
as in The Stinkiest Shop in London?
(Cattleprod_hasn't_been_here_for_ages, Fri 10 Jan 2003, 17:23, archived)

this one
was the stinkiest shop in Sheffield.

I don't bother with call their fancy pants stuff, but if they stop my face from burning then I like them.

Let's face it
who wouldn't ;)

It's amazing
how easily my liking can be bought.

I still maintain that for a pint of john smiths and a curlywurly I'm anybody's.

We do still have it
in a cupboard. It's been there since 1995.
I'm going to ask if we can flog it.
I'm not promising anything, but I'll have a go.

Ah you confused me
the Alpha, yes?
(Cattleprod_hasn't_been_here_for_ages, Fri 10 Jan 2003, 17:11, archived)

Yup.
It's a very very VERY old alpha.
( itwontbeeasy, Fri 10 Jan 2003, 17:14, archived)

That's a good'un.
