There is a statistic about the number of people we tell about a bad experience versus the number we tell about a good one. I can't remember the figures, but - suffice it to say - bad news travels much further than good. I think people are naturally more inclined to leave a review if they've...

Look Fantastic Day 24 - Look Good, Feel Better Eye Shadow blending brush; Day 25 - Illamasqua Eye Shadow Palette and £10 Look Fantastic Gift Voucher. Really enjoyed the advent calendar, would definitely get it again. Quite a few of the bits are already in use, in fact the Rituals Sakura body...

That's a good idea. Encourages their customers to try out new products, and - by making the 'shipping and handling fee' redeemable against future purchases - gives them an incentive to buy the full size from them. There's nothing worse than forking out on a full size of something, only to find...

Ooh yes, I will try to remember to get one tomorrow. :) Oh bless him. Is he the cutie in your avatar? That's lovely that you were able to personalise his blanket. The memory foam bed sounds good. Our dog has finished up with four beds, most of which have been gifted to us by various family...

My MIL had a knee replacement earlier in the year and had exactly the same problem with the aftercare. Thankfully, she was able to go and stay with my brother in law and his wife after the surgery, as they have two spare bedrooms. She had a lot of swelling that took a long while to go down...

Look Fantastic Day 23 - Ole Henriksen Clean Truth Cleansing Cloths

Was it this woman, Vienna? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niECL1edNP0 I actually think the gifts become meaningless when you have that number. The children can't maintain a high level of excitement for the length of time it would take to unwrap such a ridiculous number, so I should think it...

Look Fantastic Day 22 - Molton Brown Pink Pepperpod Body Wash. :happy: It's 100ml, so quite a good size. I have a tiny bit of the scrub left, so will layer it after that. I also really loved the Sensual Hanaleni that was in the last TSV, which my Mum gave me for my birthday. I'm gutted...

Very eloquently put. We have a young family now, having sadly lost all but one of our senior members by my early twenties. It is lovely with little ones, and I personally enjoy the gift buying and decorations, but Christmas does definitely have a habit of amplifying any stresses or...

Yes, they put as many obstacles in the way as possible, as they know that - statistically - a percentage will give up along the way. Similarly, they bang on and on about just getting things home and using your 30 day money back guarantee because they know that a proportion of those unsatisfied...

A friend recently bought me a fleece blanket for my birthday, and I wonder what I ever did without it! My dog (who, I might add, has more luxurious blankets than us!!) watches it like a hawk and, as soon as I leave it unattended on the sofa, he snaffles it!

Look Fantastic Day 21 - Dermologica Daily Microfoliant Have the hump with today's gift, as broke one of my nails trying to wrest it from it's very tight fitting plastic moulded packaging. It's such a trivial thing, but I'm not feeling at my best at the moment, and my nails were the one thing I...

Look Fantastic Day 20 - Redken One United Multi Benefit hair treatment. Oh, I'm totally influenced by smells, too. I think it's an important part of the joy of beauty products. I can't use something if I don't like the smell. That sickly, heady Elemis Frangipani had to go back! I like...

How bizarre. Even putting aside the fact that the bits were second hand, Hedwig and the teddy money box are very strange choices for an adult female colleague (or, indeed, a male one!) If the person was on a tight budget, just a box of chocolates or a nice bottle of bubble bath or something...

Look Fantastic Day 19 - Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream. Intend to crack straight on with this one, as I don't think my Caudalie Premier Cru eye cream's up to much. I'm ok for wrinkles and can cover any dark circles effectively with makeup, but have a bit of puffiness under my eyes because of...

If there are 5 couples in the competition, the couple who the judges place at the top of the leaderboard will be awarded 5 points, 4 points for the couple who come 2nd with the judges, 3 for the couple that come 3rd etc, down to 1 point for the couple at the bottom of the judges leaderboard...

Congratulations, Julius, what an amazing prize! I've always wanted to go to New York at Christmas, it's the '80s child in me! You could see the Christmas tree in Times Square and the Macy's parade (or is that for Thanksgiving?) and go shopping in Bloomingdales and Duncan's Toy Chest (:wink:)...

I agree. Whilst we obviously realise they are all only there to sell to us, having brand ambassadors with multiple hats undermines their expertise and affiliation with any of the brands they work with.

Funnily enough, my dog seems to have taken exception to that, too. It's the bit where the parcel sprouts legs and runs along that gets him going, barks at it every time! :grin: :mysmilie_7:
