    TiffanyJayne, I've got a Pixi pallette and don't love it, I find some of the shades a bit chalky?

    Not to enable, but has anyone seen the TSV on QVC tomorrow? I want it terribly (it's rare that I would wear every colour!) but I know I shouldn't... xxx

    That's me off to the QVC website. What is it? Nail polish is a massive weakness of mine (along with fragrance,,eyeshadow.... The list goes on).

    In my defence I don't smoke & hardly drink so make up is my thing.



    Just peeked. Oh my God I'd use all of that except one which can go on ebay. Wonder how much it is....

    I have just lifted this info from QVC on Shopping TV site,

    OPI 7 Piece Ultimate Nail Treatment & Lacquer Collection
    Item Number: 205400
    QVC Price: £42.00
    Today's Special Value Price £30.48
    P&P £4.95

    I think I will pass on this, don't need nail envy or avoplex and already have a glitter base coat I bought from Sally Magpies, will watch the presentation and perhaps pick off the couple I might want from *bay at some stage:)

    See, a glitter base I don't have, and would be v useful, my cuticles are all dry and peely so the oil would be useful (urgh!) and I'd use both the nail envys. I bought an alternative to the nail envy and it was a total non economical buy as literally lasts a day without peeling! And also the coloured ones are all ones I'd actually use which is useful (and rare!). Oh god I've basically already decided haven't I! xxx

    Back to the cracked heels. Not sure how deep the heel crack was in my friend's case, but cellulitis is a subcutaneous skin infection that only needs a break in the skin to get a foothold. I must emphasise, that is if the circulation is compromised (as it was and still is in my case, and my friend's).
    Most people won't develop cellulitis from a skin abrasion, but I did. It's not worth the risk, when regular pampering can prevent it.

    PP UU of Schwarzkopf Gliss Volume Conditioner for fine, flat damaged hair.
    WIBA? Yep, if it's still made. I've never seen it in the shops, this was a £land buy. Meanwhile I do need a decent conditioner to help me to use up the 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioners, which aren't really conditioning enough.

    Looking for some advice on a [STRIKE]few things[/STRIKE] lot of things

    Palettes, need a long lasting eye shadow palettes that's less than £20, MUA were all sold out and the W7 have bad reviews on longevity so i'm stuck

    Pix! - anyone used their products? i got sent a lipstick duo and it's fab but i'd like to try their palettes and foundation, just don't want to waste more cash on stuff that won't suit as it's online purchase only for me.

    Firming creams, i need a good firmer for breasts and bums/thighs, i'm losing weight and it's showing on my skin so i need some help but don't know where to start.

    Sorry for all the questions, i was going to start a new thread but figured more people look on here :) xx

    Have you tried Superdrug or MUA online for your palette?
    Postage is free for orders of £10 at Superdrug.
    Never tried Pixi make up.
    The new palette everyone is raving about is Make Up Revolution. I believe they have a website and I think Superdrug now also sell it online. No idea on longevity, though.

    Firming creams, never found one that worked. Sorry.



    No UUs here but a couple of splutterers so hopefully soon.

    Still waiting for my YBD box which I ordered on the 1st. :mad:

    TiffanyJayne - I think BarryM are doing palettes now, I've seen pretty good reviews. Also UD Naked Basics is only just over your budget, so if you keep an eye out for a sale it'd probably go under £20.

    1 IN, 1 OUT here, both nail polish remover so nothing to say.

    I know i shouldn't but! for those with bad feet boots have a BOGOHP on at the minute making the heel repair cream just £4.04ea not much of a saving but worth the cost if you plan to have your feet out over summer.

    I have 2 ins

    Argan oil conditioner and cocoa body scrub - no cost here, i cleaned the hallway cupboard out and found them in a bag but thought i'd better add them to my list.

    Used up my second
    Soap & Glory Make Yourself Youthful Rejuvenating Facial Serum serum today, smells lush and makes my face really soft but the tiny samples aren't enough to tempt me to buy it

    and finally marine cream.....i'm told it's the HG for most people, not sure i need it but my mums just hit 50 and going through the MP, could this help her dehydrated, loose, smoking aged skin? not sure what it does but i'd like to treat her and think this might help cheer her up.

    I had a Pixi quad and it was rubbish imo, if you go with the MUA palettes invest in a primer like UD primer potion and they will last really well. UD Naked Basics is a fab palette, I also love Too Faced which are a bit more money but really lovely.

    I wouldn't waste your money on a skin firming product my advice would be to use a body brush on dry skin or scrubby gloves in the bath/shower then moisturise every day the rubbing in acts as a massage.
