Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

Don't you just hate it when you can't squeeze everything out of a tube of beauty product.  You end up in all kinds of shapes trying to force the last bit out (it's not just me is it?) or asking someone to try and squeeze the last bit onto your hands.  I could cut the end off but I just don't want to as it ends up messy and going everywhere.   Well I found the answer to my prayers (well for metal tubes anyway).  I went to a beauty event at L'Occitane last year which I really enjoyed and as I was browsing around the store I noticed The Magic Key.   You just put the end of the tube in between the 2 metal prongs and twist. It's that easy.  I've used it on a couple of tubes - Jurlique Hand Cream and Davines Authentic Moisturising Balm and it got every last drop out (maybe not every drop but pretty much everything).  There would be no point in cutting the tube as there's not going to be much left to get out after using the Magic Key.  It onl...

I just wanted to let you all know about a great Gift With Purchase offer that Marks and Spencer has on at the moment.  If you spend £45 or more on nightwear you receive a Box of Beauty containing REN Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial 40ml and NUXE Huile Prodigieuse 50ml together worth £38.  This offer is available in store and online while stocks last.  I wish I needed some new nightwear as it's a great offer, but to be honest my mum buys me some PJs every year at Xmas so I really can't justify getting anything at the moment as I have loads.  Details of the offer can be found here .   Let me know of any other good gift with purchase offers.

I have seen so many people write about MEMEBOX that I thought I should order one for myself. MEMEBOX is a South Korean Beauty Box Service.  Its not a subscription service, you just order a box as and when you feel like it and they have so many to choose from.  I chose the mask edition, because I like masks and also I thought it would be hard to get items that were not suitable, so the chances of being disappointed were slim.  This box (which is now sold out) cost $23.00 plus $6.99 shipping.  I also had a $10 discount for creating an account and a $3 referral discount which meant that the box only cost $16.99 (Approx £10.50). I received the box this week and I am really happy with the contents.  The box is quite compact and a really cute pink colour. Then I opened it up and it just got better.  Products were just packed into the box and there was a card in English explaining what the products were and how they work and their value. The first ...
