I love free delivery offers, they probably tempt me more than any other despite not always being the most ‘saving’. I guess it’s ‘cos you can make a small order, sometimes just to trial a brand… and not get that ‘stung’ feeling when you get to checkout… £6.95 for the product, £3.95 shipping? *closes window*. We all know that feeling right?
Anyway, go fill yer boots at Avon, voucher code AVONUK Expires midnight tonight!

Now’s the time to dip your toes…
On April - 17 - 2010
…into beauty brand Elemis!
I’ve mentioned before that I’m a fan of the British luxe brand, but it’s definitely on my ‘treat myself’ list rather than my ‘repurchase regularly’ list. This stuff is pricey!
However, from the 3rd till the 31st May there’s a rather good deal going on:
The Elemis Rose and Lavender Recovery Regime is a collection of four of Elemis’ top-selling detox products, with some significant savings to be made.
Excuse a little c&p whilst I tell you what each product claims to do:
Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules (60 capsules / worth £58)
These little gems counteract the damaging effects of pollution and help repair the visible signs of ageing. Each capsule contains Moringa Oil which is clinically proven to have 1700% more anti-oxidant power that Evening Primrose Oil when applied to the skin. The pink Rose Absolute ‘day’ capsule restores a youthful bloom, whilst the green Lavender evening’ capsule helps to balance and repair stressed skin whilst you sleep.
Gentle Rose Exfoliator (50ml / worth £25)
Gently exfoliates the skin, smoothing and revitalising the skins surface and is excellent for use before a treatment mask, it removes dead skin cells making the surface of the skin appear smoother and brighter.
Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (15ml / worth £26)
This is Elemis’ no. 1 best selling product globally! This super lightweight anti-ageing moisturiser is perfect day and night. Containing revolutionary Padina Pavonica, a marine algae that has ability to mimic the skin’s function to boost collagen in the skin and give you youthful skin and is proven to reduce wrinkles and increase hydration.
Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream (15ml / worth £31)
Apply before bed, this oxygenating night cream increases oxygen levels and in the skin by up to 41%* to help it regenerate speedily. *Independent Clinical Trials 2006
RRP £58.00 / worth £140 / saving over 55%
Available from 3rd May until 31st May 2010 at Elemis’ official online retailer www.timetospa.co.uk, spas, salons and selected retail stores.
.
I’ve personally tried the (infamous) Pro-Collagen Marine Cream and became a huge fan…. but at retail price, I can’t really afford my habit… so continue to look elsewhere. I am very tempted by this offer though… If you do take advantage yourself, have a quick google for a discount code for Time to Spa, I know there are some around… but I think they all expire at the end of this month – boo!

On April - 9 - 2010
Available until midnight tonight, Nails Inc. are offering a lucky dip. 5 polishes for £15, that works out at £3 a polish!
I’m very tempted, but a bit worried about getting a envelope full of ‘wine’ coloured polishes… I don’t like maroony, clarety shades.
Are you tempted? The 4 year old in me loves lucky dips!

How do you spend yours?
On March - 24 - 2010
…your Boots till spits I mean!
If you’re not a UK lady, let me quickly explain…
Boots have a rather fabulous promotional period every couple of months that goes something like this…
If you spend over £5 you get a voucher. The voucher entitles the holder to £5 off Boots No7 or Ruby & Millie (a British cosmetic brand).
That’s it… no catches, nothing. How lucky are we?
The current promotion runs out on the 28th March, which means that I have 4 days left to spend the 3 vouchers I’ve rescued from the bottom of my handbag. Which brings me to my original question…
How do you spend yours?
As there’s nothing specific I want from either of the permitted ranges, I’m thinking of plumping for some of the following items – note, prices shown are after voucher redemption:
Boots No7 Eyeshadow Blend and Contour.
I have a few of these (ok, about 6) that I grab from my brush pot when I’m too lazy to go and wash my ‘good’ blending brushes but obviously don’t want to muddy my eye look. They’re not the softest nor the most well constructed, but for £1.50, they’re pretty darn decent backups!
Boots No7 Quick Thinking 4 in 1 Wipes.
Love these wipes, they really do a stand up job at removing makeup. I mostly use them to clean off swatched hands or if I’m playing with my makeup. I prefer a proper face wash before bed! These are great for travel too, but I wouldn’t pay the full price.
Boots No7 Ultimate File and Buffer.
You can’t get a better bargain than free! I have one of these in the glove box incase of an emergency broken nail. Don’t laugh at me, you’re not even a proper GIRL unless you have an emergency nail file set. Go redeem yourself down at Boots immediately!
I haven’t tried this one, but I used to pick up ones from the No7 range which looked simillar (except they had black bristles) and I swear by them for depositing a healthy amount of colour on my lids. Unfortunately, they’ve been discontinued and I’m wondering if these are the replacement? Anyone know the old ones I mean? They used to come in little black cardboard boxes (usually found on the bottom shelf of the No7 stand), I think they were £5.75 each (before voucher redemption) so they worked out at 75p each after, total bargain! Anyone tried these white bristled ones?
I haven’t been hugely impressed with much from the Ruby & Millie range and some of the brushes are (imho) pretty awful. This one however, I like. It’s great for pushing gel and cream liners right into the lashline slightly under the lashes. Don’t try and line above the top lashes with it though… well, not unless you’re incredibly nifty with an eyeliner brush.
Boots No7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser.
£3.75 for a Hot Cloth Cleanser and muslin cloth is a total bargain I reckon! I’m currently trialling the original Liz Earle version (review coming soon) and I’ll be picking one of these up in the next few days for a bargainous comparison. It’s worth noting too that this No7 version has clocked up no less than twenty 5 star reviews on the Boots website. Having said that, if it’s anything like the Boots Time Delay Cleansing Balm (Eve Lom ‘replica’) then it’ll leave me in tears. Literally.
.
So, that’s my ‘picks’ for your £5 “till spit”. What do you rush to stock up on everytime the offer rolls around? Don’t keep your bargains to yourselves, did your Mama never tell you it’s good to share?
