    Hmm, I do have a big nose but it's the first thing anyone notices about me anyway and I've come to terms with it. It's part of me! vI've had short hair before and felt fab with it. I reckon I'll go for it!
    I've not had a flake either btw!
    It's great that you feel that way :) In that case, I reckon the haircut will suit you really well! Especially if it makes you feel good :)

    I am fed up of my current bottle of Time Delay night serum, have been scraping the ends out for WEEKS (I hate glass bottles, can't cut them open lol). Can I finally admit defeat (even though there *is* still a little left around the sides) and chuck it??? Opinions please!

    p.s. WIBA - yes, and have one in my stash (got them for £1 each with the skinnies, yippee).

    Haven't finished anything off lately, but I'm nearing the end of a small Lush Snowcake soap, Aveeno moisturising lotion and Boots Intensive Softening Foot Cream. Had to throw out a Keratase hair masque (prob only one use left in it anyway) as it looked a bit funny.

    Aveeno WIBA? Definitely, didn't irritate sensitive skin, absorbs quickly and doesnt feel greasy. Unscented so doesn't clash with perfume.

    Boots Foot Cream WIBA? Another thumbs up. I've been using this every night - a little goes a long way - and my feet are in better condition than they've ever been. I'll be all set for sandals when the weather gets better. I liked the Liz Earle for the fragrance, but this has given better results and it's only around a fiver.

    Keratase Masque Age recharge WIBA? Won it in a comp, lasted for ages as I've got a short bob and only used it on the ends. It's very light so doesn't drag down fine hair, but left it shiny and healthy looking. A bit pricey, but I might be tempted as a treat.

    And now confession time. :o I bought two Too Drunk emotibombs from Lush on Saturday BUT I've had the most horrible cold (so bad I couldnt actually smell anything in Lush when I went in) and find these really clear my head and nose, even if I can't actually smell them atm. I chuck them in the bath rather than the shower though.

    Oh, and I also haven't bought a flake either - I keep forgetting about it actually :o

    WELL DONE trudij!! :T:T:T I remember you talking about that stuff, seems to have lasted ages (always the way, isn't it!). By the way, you were so right about the Botanics body butter, it's not that nice so my unopened tub shall be eBayed! Thanks for sending me the sample xo

    judgejaq, thanks for all the reviews :D (we'll overlook the Lush incident lol)

    I chucked the Time Delay serum (with trudij's permission), it's fab stuff and a definite WIBA but it was driving me mad scraping around to get the dregs out and I can say with a clear conscience that I have got as much out of it as is humanly possible! :rotfl: That's £6 into the savings pot (though I got it for £1 wahoo). I also FINALLY (drumroll and ticker tape please) finished the horrible Klorane mango shampoo. WIBA: well, it's not as useless as the matching conditioner, but no. So that's £3 into the pot as I got them on BOGOF and they're about £6.

    My Hemp body butter is sooo thick, I'm sitting here in my robe waiting for it to sink in before getting dressed! I don't mind though, it feels lovely. I also LOVE my new Body Shop Vitamin E neck gel (got 2 as part of a glitch a couple of weeks ago). It gets amazing reviews and is actually making my neck look and feel better, so thumbs up to it. I'll be buying it again in future glitches!
