Liz Earle TSV 26/02/17

Another bargain! I shall put that on my shopping list and give it a go. I don't really have any in-date eye m/u remover as when using a cleanser like Decleor or Elemis I just use that over the eye. Fiona says you can!!! Honestly!!! But this is certainly a lot cheaper than the famous FLoracil!! Thanks Breeze.

Floracil was always rubbish for me. Everyone swore by the Simple one, but that Boots one looks interesting.

Unfortunately, I cannot use any of the SD or Boots No7 or their Age thingy range as my rosacea breaks out. I bought and had to give away, really liked it too!

I can use M&S cleanser thing like C&P and most of their skin care funny enough.

Another good budget brand is the Nspa range from Asda. It`s nearly always on offer and the products i`ve used have been really good. They do a hot cloth cleanser which is around £6 at the moment but is often on the 2 for £8 offer, some of the other items are in the 2 for £8 offer at the moment.

Just goes to show, doesn't it, that contrary to what you're told you don't always get what you pay for.

Yes well said Breeze, I used the Boots eye make up remover, and have done for a while, I also suffer from facial eczema from time to time and find this is very gentle but effective, and I like the fact it is not a liquid or oily, it also is so cheap, so what's not to like!
I have not used the superdrug cleanser but am going to give that a go, think C&P isn't that special anymore,

 

[Susie Wusie]

I like the Superdrug's ones too. They're even cheaper than the Boots one, smell nicer than the Boots Hot Cloth one( one reason why I use the one I said instead )& come with a better muslin than the Boots Hot Cloth. It's virtually the same as the Liz Earle one but with a pink edge instead of turquoise. The Boots cloth is smaller, more flimsy yet a bit coarser.
I can't get to Superdrug as easily though.

Bought SD one yesterday and very impressed with it, took off heavy black eye make up easily and only cost £2.95 as on offer, highly recommended, thanks

I'm going to buy the Boots eye make-up remover and Superdrug C&P equivalent this afternoon, thanks to all these recommendations. Sounds like I'll make some nice savings, too. Thank you!

 

[Radiomike]

I had one of those Boots £5-off-No7 vouchers burning a hole in my pocket a while back, so I used it to try their version of C&P. Smells nice, does the job, muslin cloth not so great, but overall I do prefer Liz Earle.

However, I discovered the No7 one is brilliant for removing paint off your hands if you've been decorating. Rub a couple of pumps on your dry hands, then wipe off with a thick dampened cloth or an old flannel. Works a treat.

Both are on my shopping list for Friday's trip to the DHS!

I am enjoying the fact that the Liz Earle TSV thread has been entirely hijacked by cracking recommendations for considerably cheaper and more effective C&P dupes - this forum is so helpful!!!!

If you have a superdrug beauty card then there`s 10% off skincare today. If you don`t have a card then register for one before you order online and not only will you get the 10% discount but you`ll get free delivery too, no matter how small your order. You have to register first though or already have a beauty card.

Oh, Vienna! I placed a small online order last night. Why could you not tell me before, even if it wasn't known about?! :wink:

But seriously, I went in the shop yesterday and one of the assistants directed me to the Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser*. I now realise everyone's talking about the other one so I've ordered that also from the website - ridiculously cheap.

Even though I wouldn't have saved a lot with 10% off, I now want to get something from Superdrug's skincare range so I can save a little on that (this is the sort of bargain-obsessed logic I use!). Any recommendations, good people?

*Mr Marple, what didn't you like about the Vitamin E one?

LOL Andi well every Thursday is members day at Superdrug so each Thursday they do either a special offer or a special discount just for their Beauty club members. Keep your eye open because they do some really good member offers especially around Christmas time. I`ve had discounts off gift sets, off dental products, soon there`ll be a member offer on sun lotions etc and they regularly have member discounts on skincare, hair care and toiletries.

Thank you very much. I've had the Beauty Club card a few years but I wasn't aware of the Thursday thing. Is it online only? I have only fairly recently started more frequent visits to Superdrug - I was shopping there so rarely that my Beauty Club points kept expiring. They do have some great offers, it's true. Last year, they had an offer of 2 for £10 on some of the makeup brands and I couldn't believe it when two items at over £10 each went through the till at £10 for both! I'll definitely start checking on Thursdays from now on.

I always order online Andi because my local SD is only tiny and they quite often don`t have what I want. Delivery is always free and their website has more items. I tend to look online every Thursday and if the offer is for something I need then I do an order. The other week i stocked up on handwash which was on BOGOF and I do the same with toothpastes, toothbrushes and anything else we need. I don`t go through skincare items as quickly as we use other things but there`s always space for more toiletries in my house, especially when they`re on offer.

Honestly, Andi, I can't remember. Ha Ha
I know that it's advertised as for Dry/Normal skin, and as I'm oily, I think I'd convinced myself I wouldn't like it before I started.
I did go and buy a bottle of the Radiant one yesterday, and used it last night.
Okay, I prefer C&P, but I'd forgotten how nice it smelled. Quite herby, with a bit of fruitiness in the background.
Absolute bargain for under £3.00, even if I only use it once a week.

i must try this can't use liz earle skincare its too scented with essential oils and irritates me.

A woman after my own heart! I can't resist toiletries bargains. I'm lucky enough to have a decent sized Superdrug and Boots within 3 mins of my front door so I'm spoilt but I still sometimes shop online for collection in store as better deals are usually to be had. Anyway, I'm definitely going to be looking at superdrug.com on a Thursday henceforth. I'm going to have a browse this evening too.

That is encouraging, thanks. I'd say I'm dry/normal so maybe the Vitamin E HCC will suit me then. Can't say I love the smell in the tube but I've yet to actually use it. The other one does sound lovely - the scent you describe sounds perfect!

I am very influenced by smells, which I know should not be a main consideration but I can't help it. I'm using a Flora Mare eye cream I got in a TSV last year - it's nearly gone now and it's a bit of a relief because every morning I have to hold my breath, even though it's being applied in tiny amounts and not right under my nose, because it's like a cat's rear end. A pity as I do like the product itself.

As I have the lurgy at the moment and couldn't go out, I have just had a look at Superdrug online, and ordered the Naturally Radiant Cleanser and the simply pure hydrating serum. Got 10% off, free postage, and used up the £1.00 which was on my card so got both for around £4.00. Bargain. Just hope I like them but at that price it does not matter if they are not for me. The Liz Earle c & p I am using at the moment does not have a smell at all, and I am on the lookout for a new cleanser.
