I have some coupons for No7 - so what recomendations do any of you have me  I am particularly interested in the make-up, sunscreens and the self tanning products.
Has anyone used the No7 Self Tanning? |

| I haven't tried it but I think their cleansing balm is supposed to be like Eve Lom's. I remember Guapagirl using or commenting on some of the No7 range so I'm sure she'll have some good input... |

| Guapagirl, could you describe this cleanser at all. I don't know the original Eve Lom either. I really like the J&B organic if you've tried that, but I want to see if I can stock up on something cheaper when I'm home. Thanks |

Are the vouchers specifically for the No.7 range? If so, then you probably won't be able to get the cleansing balm as this is from the Time Delay range. 
I've never really tried any of the No.7 stuff. I did, a few years ago, have a phase of using their tinted moisturiser. It was alright. Had to stop using it though as it would react with my oily skin and turn a lovely orange colour. 
I'd probably play it safe and just buy some make-up. Lip gloss, lipsticks, eyeshadow etc. |

Toe's right, time delay is separate from No7, sorry  I'd spend the vouchers on body lotion or a face mask, I don't really rate their stuff much, though they do a really nice gold shimmer after-sun lotion.
Molly, the cleanser is a balm type, that is it is a thick gunky cream, a bit like grainy vaseline. It has some botanicals added and comes with a couple of muslin face cloths. You basically massage a tiny amount into your dry face and then soak the cloth in hand hot water and press onto your face for a few seconds. You wipe the stuff off, rinsing the cloth frequently till your skin is clean. It isn't drying and it isn't greasy (even mini-me swipes it occasionally!), but it makes your skin very soft and comfortable. It also lasts for ages! I use a microderm flannel instead of the muslin cloths for extra exfoliation |

Thanks everyone I am thinking the the shimmery aftersun looks good and maybe some make-up, either lip gloss or eye shadow.
The lipsticks by the way are crap, you put on layers of the stuff and within half an hour it's gone  There was a £5 off the Time Delay range as well on Sunday, I've had this before and ended up using it on the face cloth thingies. Why is it only in the tacky tabloids you ever get any decent money off coupons  |
