I'll never forget when I was about 13.had on thick black eye liner and took it off using Ponds it made my eyes sting a bit,infact I thought i had gone blind...the bulb had blown lol.
Never used it on my eyes again lol

I remember when my nan used to use that. She wrote them saying how smooth her face was and she swore it was down to ponds and they sent her a huge free Jar. Gosh shes been gone almost 20 years now so that was a long time ago..... she then tried it with Oil of Ulay lol.

>>>runs off to write to Ponds to get some freebeebies for Rose.
Maybe try the same for Tennas pmsl.

Wasnt there a thread ooh a long time ago on face creams? I think something from Lydls or aldi was limited in stock cos it won loads of awards and only cost a couple of quid? My nan used Ponds and had lovely skin - I wont stray from my Clinique though - too scared to change brands in case I grow old overnight lol.

MarionfromScotland Report 4 Mar 2009 19:24

Must try it, see if it will make me look ten years younger ;)))). wont use it on my eyes though lol.

I didn't know there was still Pond's.There used to be two sorts as I recall,cold cream and vanishing cream.Now there's a concept to conjure with.

MarionfromScotland

MarionfromScotland Report 4 Mar 2009 20:17

Maddiecow

Maddiecow Report 4 Mar 2009 20:24

tho if it only a tablespoonful in a jar how long does it last,
