...including an update to one of last week's stories (mea culpa), a look at what constitutes "normal" when it comes to skin, some chat about "chicken skin", and a different take on perfume...
Ameliorate .... I don't have KP but I do have a huge weakness for hand and body lotions. I read about the Ameliorate Tropical and purchased. It arrived last week and if you want to smell as if you've had a very strong curry the night before that's seeping through every pore then Ameliorate is the answer. I contacted the retailer and received a refund. Have since read other reviews and the smell is commented on.
As for hand cream recommendations Beauty Pie's Retinol Hand Cream is the thing to use at night. Not super greasy but my hands look and feel like a five year old. May be I should use it on my face LOL. The results are very quick and last and I'm on my second tube. Also "Hello Sunday The One for Your Hands" with SPF 30 is great. Small tube but ideal when driving.
The idea about being able to buy a cap is a good one - I will flag to them. I hadnāt thought about the travel aspect but equally I feel like a perfume spray is less likely to cause me drama than say, a fake tan bottle - which has happened in the past š
Interested in your thoughts on those Prai products. I always thought their neck cream results looked impressive but I also am one of those people who donāt really believe in neck creams (or eye creams) - I know, I knowā¦ but interested to see what their body stuff can do. They sent me a new tinted leg product the other day that looked a bit like the Vita Liberata Body Blur (that I love) but with more skincare actives so may have to give that a goā¦
How weird about the Ameliorate Tropical! I wonder if it was a bad batch, or an interaction that some peopleās skin has with it. Because Iām not getting curry at all! Thanks for the hand cream tips. I am so bad about applying it when my hands arenāt dry and cracked - I know I need to do better
Something arrived yesterday from QVC- Prai Ageless Upper Arm Creme and Ageless Crepe-Correct Body Creme. I forgot I'd ordered it but ordered it after the retailer refunded the AmeliorateI. Both smell lovely and a great texture. i like the Prai neck cream and serum so hopefully this will be good too.
Thanks for the suggestion about Idiom - the Discovery Pack arrived this morning along with the full size of the 3d Amplifier. The Pepper Solstice will probably be another purchase and likely more to follow as I work through the others. I (almost) understand why they're not doing a cap - but I want a cap. I don't want to pack an uncapped bottle in my luggage and this is going to sound sexist but only a man could think it was a good idea .... it's absolutely not. Just give me the option to purchase a wretched cap at checkout. Everything is beautifully packaged and the delivery service is ace.
Just to let you know I passed your cap comments on to Mark from the brand and he said āWe have taken on board your readerās comments and will look into adding a cap to the site.ā Thought youād like to know, @LesleyC19
Happy Holidays! Some interesting recommendations that Iām going to look into. Thank you!

Going to have a look at the perfume website.
Have a good holiday.
