QVC Today's Special Value - Fab Philosophy Amazing/Pure Grace Fragrance Sets!

You may remember that I reviewed the Philosophy amazing Grace Body lotion last year, and if so, you may also remember that I absolutely LOVED it!! Well, I've just noticed a Philosophy Today's Special Value on QVC, right now; and, never the one to let a bargain I see go unreported, I thought it was only fair that I shared it with you!

The set looks fantastic, but it's also great value at £39.96 (plus £5.95 postage), especially considering the retail prices of each product, just take a look:

Spray Fragrance included is usually around £32, then there's the Bath, Shampoo and Shower Gel that retails around £19, Body Butter £30, Hand Cream £14, and the Purse Spray Fragrance for which I can't find a proper price for, but judging on it being 25% of the volume of the spray, I'm going to say £8. So a whopping £103 worth of product, for £45.91, which is amazing (grace)!

Not only do you have the actual value of the set, it's made even more affordable by being available on 2 easy payments, which means you can spread the payment over this month (initial payment plus postage taken straight away - £25.93) and pay off the rest (£19.98) next month, with no credit, no interest and no hassle. I love when things are made available on Easy Pay!

I might have to treat myself to the Amazing Grace set, although I'm tempted by both, but have never smelled Pure Grace and my bank balance is already under pressure with my recent spending. :-( x

Ola Jordan's Halloween Make-Up on Strictly Come Dancing... Illamasqua Inspired?

Anybody else think that Ola Jordan's makeup on Strictly Come Dancing last night was a bit similar to the make-up from Illamasqua's Toxic Nature collection in the eye department?

I've grabbed some of these images from the internet, but they're not as clear as they could be and they don't show the make-up that well, so I've just took a couple of screen shots on my phone, which I think show the look better.

Whaddya think? Also, isn't she beautiful? I have a massive girl crush on her.

My screen captures.

Ciaté Nail Polish Before Being Bottled!

I saw this photograph on the Ciaté Facebook page and fell in love with the glitter and sparkle, it's beautiful! I know at 31 I should be growing out of glittery/sparkly things, but I am just too much of a magpie for that to happen - my mum is 65 and she's exactly the same, so I expect there's no hope for me haha.

Just imagine having these big jars of nail polish! Do you think you could ever get through that amount of the stuff? I think I'd be tempted to paint my walls with it! ;-)

Xen-Tan 'Fake Tan Friday' Spray Tan Offer With Saks Salons!

With winter getting ever closer, and the nights getting darker, you may be thinking about covering up with lots of layers... especially as the temperature is already plummeting - not that it was that warm to begin with. It's all too easy to let things slip when you're covered up to keep warm, and I know this from experience!

I regularly forget to paint my toenails in winter, unless I'm going out and remember they'll be on display, which is mostly because I don't see them as much when they're covered with tights and/or boots; and before at home laser hair removal products came about (which I'll be covering in the near future), my legs may have been known (to myself) to be sporting a little more stubble than I'd normally allow... again, because I'd usually be wearing trousers/jeans or tights, and what you can't see, can't hurt, right?!

So maybe you're also thinking about sporting a paler complexion to complement that look? Right again, I mean I'm pale and interesting at the best of times, so why would that change in winter? Well one reason to change would be this fab 'Fake Tan Friday' offer from Xen-Tan and Saks Salons, as they're offering a spray or hand applied fake tan for just £15 (RRP £25) every Friday until the end of November, with the last day being on Friday 30th - not bad, eh?!

This is perfect for weekend partying, and even more so for people like me, who never seem to leave enough time to apply a tan and let it develop - especially as they say you can have your spray tan and then go 'straight out on a night on the town'. I now have no excuses to be pasty when I'm off out for the next month or so.

All you need to do, is fill in some details here, print off your voucher and then take it with you to your appointment. Simple.


Fake Tan Friday Terms & Conditions:

Selected salons only, please contact your local salon to find out, and mention the offer at the time of booking.
Not valid on homecare.
Cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
Services may vary from salon to salon and are subject to availability.
Only one redemption per person, per week.
No cash alternatives offered.



Psssst, there's also a competition to win the ENTIRE Xen-Tan range here!!

Boots 10% off £100 Spend Code!

This is just a quickie post as I've just had an email come through telling me about this fab little offer. I like to post about these offers when they come through as I know that money saved at this time of year is always helpful (well, it is at any time of year, but in the run up to Christmas, it is especially so)!  I can easily spend £100 at Boots... Chanel/Dior etc, anybody(?!), so this is perfect for me.

You could even use it if you have their Star Gift of the Week offer in your order (or at least it doesn't say that you can't in any T's&C's) when it comes back in stock - should it be within the next week, meaning you have even more of a saving on that! Not bad, eh!
