As soon as i hear Jill Gauntlet say 'its so classy' i look up from what i am doing just so i can point and laugh. The cutsey ornaments, naff lights, and that dreadful projector thing they are pushing this year... I have tried a couple of bethlehem lights things, and always been terribly...

I wear the Amazing Grace for work. I've had some pretty unpleasant encounters with grotesque perfumes in offices in the past, and don't want to inflict anything in-yer-face on my coworkers! So i get through quite a lot, and stock up each year with the xmas philosophy tsv. And this year i also...

The robe is 100% polyester! At that price it should be cotton towelling, at least. Mr C was given a robe just like that from his brother. Well, perhaps not just like that. It was polyester, but it also had Rocky Balboa written across the back, and a gum shield in the pocket. Apparently all...

I like the new Philosophy lady presenter. Gently informative, softly spoken, knowledgeable and not at all pushy. She is the first P presenter i have liked!

I love green gems, and i really regret not buying some russian diopside when it was on the Q. In gold. Nowadays they are just plating other metals, because of the prices at the mo.

The eye creams are great. Easily a match for far more expensive brands. And they are twice the size too.

I'm safe. Still got 95% of the weird smelling rose oil that doesn't smell of rose oil. I will pick up some of the eye cream cheap on ebay. And maybe the rose cleansing water - if it actually smells of roses.

I've sat through 2 demos now, and i still have no clue what on earth could justify the ridiculous price. What is the betting they are still trying to flog leftover stock, on easypay, next Summer?

Its the flirting and the girlish coquetry, and all that hair flicking and head shaking. It gets old in women on their 20s. Seeing it on someone pushing sixty is mutton prancing as lamb. Such a pity, because she knows how to do it very well - sizes, comparisons, colours, fit, fabrics... She...

I totally take all your points about high street can be as good, but for me, until i found the Q i couldnt use anything on my face. Literally. I used to wash my face with luke warm water and then scrub/exfoliate with a flannel. No makeup, cream or anything. I had sore eyes with anything from...

I tried her eye and face moisturisers a while back and was very unimpressed. They seemed to sit on my oily skin like barrier creams. Also had her cleanser with the wee particles in it. Too rough for my skin on a daily basis. I have just assumed that her range is not designed for my oily...

I would say you need to buy it on your bust size. If fits me from neck to just above waist, where the ballooning starts. But I am quite plump, so if you are slimmer around the ribcage, it may fall from the bust. No idea about the fit on the arms, though. If this is a different fabric from my...

I have the sleeveless version of this, in grey. Love it. Excellent fabric quality, and creases drop out if it is hung up straight from the wash. I'm 5'7" and it comes to just below the knee - which is too short for my legs. So i wear it with leggings or skinny jeans, or a slim fit jersey maxi...

I like her too, although there was a while when i wanted to throw something through the screen when she grubbled through handbags. Turned my stomach, for some weird reason. I realise that sounds ridiculous. But it has been ages since i saw her with a handbag in her hands, and i do like her.

Jill Franks: i only put the best on my skin. Why are you making me present this cheap (£60/5ml) moisturiser? And i lost track of my lies years ago, so don't expect any of it to make sense. Julia: do you think, if i flirt endlessly with the camera, anyone will notice that i am wearing a dress...

And it is STILL on!

Our local garden centre was setting out the xmas decorations this weekend. Very depressing. I can't stand the QVC Xmas Girls cheap sparkly tat, and frenzied bonhomie. Xmas music in shops brings me out in a rash, and i really hate the advice to buy party clothes, makeup and perfume. Abby...

I think it is about as welsh as anything else made in China. But if there was a design I liked, at a price i was willing to pay, i might buy. But so far, I haven't liked any of it enough. And i must confess that i rather resent the way they constantly harp (pun!) on about the royal connection...

Its a great kit for me. Have bought it in Fair. I love the mascara, face defender, brown eyeliner, the lipstick looks like it is just on the edge of what suits me - worth trying) and the shadowstick may be useful. Will wait and see. That is much better useability than most of the kits...

I've had neck ache (related to lower back pain) for about 30 years. Tried pillow after pillow. Eventually, as a kind of desperate last chance, i bought a buckwheat filled one. OMG. Had it 2 years now, and havent had a single night of pain since. Even bought a travelling one because i was...
