What are the brown bottles on the left of that Lidl photo? I can see “aromatic body cleanser” on the label but are they new and meant to be copies of something as well? The article you posted a link to mentions Lush and Aesop, which I don’t know that well. Oh, and the Sol de Janeiro fragrance...

Thanks, Marina and LV73. Lidl don’t seem to be quite as blatant in the way they copy the look of the originals as Aldi, but I do see the L’Occitane similarities and I’m definitely interested in seeking these out. I’m not sure they will have them here as the diffusers, etc, just opposite the...

I visit Lidl more than Aldi, which is quite a bit further away, so I know the Lidl range of goods well and I must say I have never seen these L'Occitane things. Are they in the middle section in your store or over near the Cien skincare and bath products? Also, are they packaged in a similar way...

Well, that’s not very exciting. Must try harder, Marina! Have a word with them!

I see Shay & Blue have put their prices up. The 10ml bottles are still £25, but the 30ml have gone up to £40 (£35 before) and the 100ml bottles are now £70 & £90 (I think that’s £10 more, might just be £5?) They do have some good offers online and with QVC, but I expect the days of the £40...

We all have different views of people. Jemma is not my cup of tea but I don’t have to watch her, so all is well.

I think Jemma is good for her knowledge of the brand and fragrances but I’d happily see the return of Jill Goldsmith.

Welcome to the forum. Are you a long-time QVC shopper or a newbie? Please excuse the cynicism on here - we’re a nice bunch really but some of us have become hardened to the QVC sales pitch and we moan about everything but many of us still buy copious amounts of certain things. You will...

Right, I’m picking up on a mood of serious capitulation on this thread. A couple of you (naming no names) are starting to weaken and talk about maybe buying after all. Just stop it! Stop it, stop it, stop it! I’ve found it easy not to be tempted because I can’t watch for more than a few...

I think Jemma’s been washing her hands too much this weekend. Either that or she has been sunbathing with gloves on.

Has anyone here bought these and can you tell me what they are made of? It’s not mentioned in the description online and none of the demos has mentioned it. I assume the base and pole are metal but the shades?

Wow! You can be overlord of the new penny-pincher thread! Poor old Sunday Riley, wondering how far she’s fallen when a thread dedicated to her premium wares has descended into a discussion of how to scrape out your yoghurt pot and the best way to extract the last millilitre from a bottle of...

We should have a new thread on here, headed Penny-Pinching Tips or Waste Not, Want Not or something.

I’m not sure if they often do this when a TSV has been available a few days in advance, but I just saw a quick preview of the MB TSV in the middle of the garden show (Miceal just showed it and gave the price but didn’t talk about the smells, etc). I thought they might be getting desperate and...

Yes, it doesn’t look the same, plus it’s 70ml. Thanks.

👏 Likewise!! I don’t know if you’ve tried this, but I managed to prise off the top bit of a pump bottle of Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish once. It took some doing (don’t know if they’ve changed the packaging now) but it was a waste of time because the inside was completely clean, dry even! Amazing...

I wouldn’t know as I’ve not been studying Lacura for long 😁 but the video shows the mask has a gel-cream consistency so it could be the Laneige one, whereas I thought it had similar ingredients to the Elemis. Anyway whichever it s, I’m sure it’s lovely. Wonder if they’ll have the rest of that...

Thanks, Marina. Does this usually mean quite a few beauty items that day or do they sometimes announce it when there’s just going to be the odd item on a particular date? This Sleep Mask looks to be a dupe of Elemis Peptide4 Plumping Pillow Facial.

A woman after my own heart! In the case of big plastic bottles of body lotion where the product won’t all come out even when you stand it upside down, I have been known to saw the bottle in half with a serrated bread knife, scoop the cream out and decant it into an empty face cream jar. I say “...

I think TK Maxx devalue brands, including Osprey in my experience, similarly - they do admit that they get manufacturers to make items especially for them so they can commission in bulk, buy cheaper and sell for lower prices. I don’t know for sure whether they have such an arrangement with...
