Hi Part Mouse, I'm using Avene it the minute. I've got quite sensitive skin, which is prone to flare ups now and again, and I never have any trouble using Avene, even when my skin has broken out. It's very gentle, the only trouble I have is the light moisturiser is a bit too light for winter, but I think they've brought out a much richer one.

Jacjac, I've got the Benefit brow pencil, and while it goes on really easily and looks good, it doesn't last two minutes, and it's so easy to accidentally rub it off.

Thanks for the reply so far so good for me,acne is such a pain and after trying pretty much everything the doc has to offer its back to Boots for me. Glad to hear its working for you.

Finished the dregs of TWO conditioners last night. Its pretty likely I'll have to buy some more soon....but I'm going to get ''normal'' ones not hugely expensive ones, as I get through a lot now I'm using mainly conditioner to wash. I did actually shampoo last night as well and my hair felt dreadful after wards. Looks ok but not its best this morning.

morning all

ive used up the last of my avon planet spa foot and elbow cream, WIBA yes it was lovely so rich and creamy (its a cocoa butter) lasted ages and i was quite liberal when applying it - i was stingyer once i realised how good it was and i wouldn't need so much to do the job, i have other foot creams in my stash so wont be getting it yet but think that will be my 'regular' foot product once my stash is used.
used a couple of sachets over the weekend so the stash of those is going down nicely:T

PYNM, nails are a pale apricot colour - Sunnin by Sally Hansen

have a good monday all

after throwing out the dove leave in conditioner(WNBA as it smells awful and the pump stopped working:mad:)I started the James brown free from magazine one at the pool last night,now my hair is as flat as a pancake and straight instead of curly/wavey depending how it feels like behaving on the day:rotfl:WNBA,think I will go back to the tressemme which I find really good and use at home from huge bottle bought when bogof:j

am struggling to find time for a holiday in May at the moment,my busiest time is from the 11th May till 30th June but then OHs assistants want to take the time off as they have school children plus I somehow managed to buy tickets for 3 shows in may and 1 long day out.OH will not go abroad in summer as he does not like it too hot so ideal time would be june but i am too busy:(
trying to save money too with a Tesco holiday but thye make it sooo complicated with you having to go to each holiday company web site and figure out what the price would be if not booked online and then OH says no to early flights(which they all seem to be:mad:) so I end up doing my own thing again usually in Portugal as this year he won't go to Spain because ETA might blow him up or greece because of the state they are in and so it goes on.......enough to send a girl to the B shop for mass comfort
buying of toiletries(can't even be driven to drink as given it up for lent!)

at the rate I am going the holiday will be a daytrip to the seaside:(....in the rain:(:(:(:(

p.s now broken 3 nails so tonight will file all short and paint with clear polish,off to Clarins red room tomorrow for She treat so will let you know how I get on:)

PYNM - first time in weeks as I've been a busy wee bee - No7 Speed Dry in 'Blackberry'. Looks a bit vampy for daytime, but what the hell!
Organising a car boot for the weekend, and would like some opinions girls, I am going to fill a box with loads of nail varnishes (I must have about 15 No7 varnishes used once or twice and god knows how many other brands...) and maybe ask for say, 25p per bottle. Would any of you buy these or is that a bit you know, skanky? I'm not sure, they're all perfectly useable and I'm loathe to bin them but I know I won't use them again. Any input would be fab ladies!
I popped round to my friend's house this morning to drop off a hat she left here last weekend (freezing in Glasgow this morning and I thought she might need it!) I slipped a John Frieda Serum inside it, so that will be a wee surprise for her when she goes to put it on (and lowers my stash!).
Hope you all have a fab, pampered, beautiful skinned week girls and that the sun is shining wherever you are!

stock up!
I also heard a rumour it was being discontinued and emailed Benefit who assured me that it wasn't. I have only seen it recently in bigger dept stores' Benefit concessions.

i'd give it a try at that price you should easily sell most of them. Had to smile at a carboot i went to last year a lady stood apinting her nails at a stall the seller was getting really annoyed saying the woman should pay but she just said i dont know if ill like the coluur till i see it on and it might not dry properly if its been opened:rotfl:.

I reckon 25p for nail varnish is a good price. Can you not advertise them on your uni board?
You could always go with 50p each or 5 for £2.

NaB- It could well have been me misreading! Was it you who tried the hair remover thingy (not an immobiliser but that's the word that springs to mind) on your bikini line?
If not (snigger!) Kaz has got it wrong again!

Err that might be an epilator and if it was then it could be me infact yes I tried to use the epilator on my bikini line!! Why? Because the instructions said I could, even though it did warn me it would be more painful compared to using it on my legs :rotfl:

Won't be painting my nails today because they still haven't grown back from me biting them off and I've still got plenty of sanding/decorating to do so it won't be worth it.

Over the w/e we've finished off the dregs of 2 different shampoos and a bubblebath :T I'm really enjoying not buying anything atm, just a shame I'm having to spend on other things or I'd actually be saving a bit of money.

I hope everyone has a great week and the weather stays as lovely as it is today... a bit warmer would be nice but hey the sun is good enough for now

Painted my nails blue this morning. Finished nothing in the last couple of days. Some sachet of something or other came in the post, so I put it in the sample basket Very exciting :rotfl:!

I'm desperate to finish my Clean, Girls body wash as I really want to move on to a Sanctuary one but I'll keep on persevering with it. I've realised boredom with products is my greatest challenge.

I'm the opposite, I'm sick to death of Sanctuary, to the point of hating the smell now and I got loads of it for Christmas. I'm going to stop using it and go onto S&G, maybe later I'll like the smell of Sanctuary again.
