As you may have heard, we’re having a bit of a party next Saturday, and so the lovely Lou sent us some Linden Leaves products to help us celebrate. Not one set, or two, oh no. We have TEN full sets each valued at $31 to give away at our party. Except that I decided that’s not really all that fair, since not all of our readers are in Wellington, so we’re going to give five packs away to people who can’t make it to the party, and we’ll give the other five packs away on the night.
Natural cleansing and hydration in a smartly boxed set. Ideal for on-board travel or as a starter, this kit contains three 20 ml bottles of herbalist cream cleanser, toning reviver and daily facial moisture, neatly boxed together with two spatulas.
Admittedly, one of the packs has been broken into so that I could provide a proper review. In fact, took it up to Tauranga with me because it’s totally perfect for travel – just a little bit bigger than a tampon case, you can just throw it into your suitcase and not have to worry if you forgot your cleanser or your moisturiser. The creme cleanser is really soft and gentle, definitely the kind of thing you could use every day. The moisturiser is quite light, with a delicate scent. I need to be responsible and point out here that it doesn’t have an SPF in it, so you would need to either only use this at night (which is the optimum time for cleansing away your day anyway) or wear it with additional sunscreen. I have never been much for using toner, but tonight I was taking a bath, so I had the great idea of cleansing before the bath, and since i knew I’d come out feeling a little greasy again from the steam, toning afterwards. It worked great, and my skin is now feeling taut and smooth and soft. That’s how we like it.
So, if you want to win, and you live outside Wellington, leave us a comment telling us what we should do at our party. What fun game or activity do you think we’ve failed to consider? And if you want to win and you live in Wellington, as well as party game suggestion, we need to hear your excuse as to why you can’t make it. Entries should be in by 5pm Saturday April 18. And if you ARE coming to the party, we’ll see you then!
A pinata is always fun…and you can make your own shaped like anything.
Sorry can’t make the party…washing my hair…have fun though!
Get everyone to pick a theme from a hat (like 1960s, glam rock, goth, etc) and then they have to make themselves up to look like the theme. Even better if you have costumes or accessories people can use!
Sounds like a great party but I have in-laws staying so can’t make it. Hope its lots of fun!
How about pass the parcel – with the prizes you are planning to give away?
YES! I’ll be attending the party
at this party you ought to play the chocolate dice game..
each person takes a turn rolling the dice, and if you roll doubles you get to use the knife and fork to cut one square at a time from the chocolate, eat !..
meanwhile, the rest of the groups keeps rolling the dice. as soon as someone else rolls doubles you swap and the lucky roller takes over cutting chocolate with knife and fork.
The reason i’m not at the party? I’m stuck in Hamiltron, city of the (post nuclear holocaust) future.
I feel guilty that my ideas are all slightly filthier than the ones mentioned above. You really shouldn’t use adjectives like “taut” “greasy” and “smooth” if you don’t want me thinking that way.
At the party you should play the f*ck/marry/kill game. That’s always a conversation-starter – and as a bonus you’ll probably get some awesome 90210-style girlfights. Isn’t that what everyone wants out of their parties? Then someone can spill their diet pills and start crying about their lack of body image.
It looks like I won’t be there, (damn!!)
I love Maria’s idea of pass the parcel.
Reaching back into the days of my childhood, I remember truth dare, or promise as being a good slumber party game.
Except, now the dares should be more like “I dare you to try this cocktail I just made up”, or “I dare you to let me make you up in the style of Joan Holloway”
Thanks for your suggestions so far, all very good, except Chelsea – Front/Back is the new Marry/Fuck/Kill. Read about it on Hubris.
How about playing an old fav board game? Cluedo was my absolute favourite as a kid… Charades is a good one too.
a funny game is to stand in a circle and have a cerel box in the middle each person has to pick it up with their teeth no hands are to touch the ground, after each round tear some off the box and start again and keep going till only one person is left
this is so funny watching just how far someone can bend over without falling over to pick up the bottom of the box
Nice thought of party. But hey, I want to try that herbalist facial care pack. Where can I buy one?
