hi guys

hope your all ok

hi tara nice to see you on this thread , glad you managed to fleece MR T as well. Don't listen to anything they tell you about me i am totally sane and fit to practise.......you saw the thing about my experience with ghosts then......still sleeping with the lights on!!

swan LOL :rotfl:for your concern for Mr T!!!!! He better watch out!!!

charlie so sorry to hear about your experience with the implant, i apologise on behalf of the medical profession for what you went through, i am trained to fot and remove implants-if you decided you didn't want it anymore i would remove it simple as that. Do you know which pill you had the awful reaction to? Yasmin is the most modern and most expensive combined pill-it is NOT a progesterone only pill like cerazette, the combined pills all vary in the type/amount of oestrogen and progesterone they contain so don't let one bad experience put you off. As well as yasmin the other combined pill godd for skin is dianette which has an antiandrogen in it-i took it for yrs as i have had really bad acne into my 30's-it works wonders-the only problem is it has a slightly higher thrombosis risk that normal combined pills (most women love the cure of their acne so much are prepared to accept that). Go and have a chat with your dr again re your options. xx

Mariella great stash!!! fragrance collection coming close to mine, whats the colleen smell like? i have bought one (in my stash of 97) and not sure whether to keep or give away

Now that would be telling

Basically they are on 2 for £7.50, so I added 4 to my basket and then used the 10% off womenswear code on the discount board, then on the website, there is a £3 off £15 spend on beauty code, which worked aswell :rotfl:

and somehow it came out at that amount

Well done holly! It is difficult and if I'm honest if you had said it was a really good offer on 2 I probably would have encouraged you as you want them so much *hangs head in shame*. But 6 is a lot. Oooh.. a thought, keep 1 for yourself and give the rest to family/friends? Not necessarily as birthday presents, but more as 'I saw this and thought you'd like it..?'

Also, I can't believe I forgot when I just posted to report my INs. Admitedly, I'm not adding much except 1-2 packets of wipes.

I took my niece and her friend to Costco. They're 11-12, no idea why they wanted to go, but hey, when I was that age I would have appreciated it. So I wondered around toiletries section (mistake I know) whilst they're looking at clothes or something. Why do I do this to myself?? Well I know why. My emotional state is pretty carp. This shouldn't but it makes me feel a bit better. When it rains it pours kind of year for me so far

Anyways, my [STRIKE]bargain [/STRIKE]naughty INs:
Olay Age Defying Wet Cleansing Cloths £5.96 (inc VAT) for a pack of 4!!
Olay Regenerist Eye Derma-Pod £5.96 (inc VAT)!!!!

Going to split the wipes with 1 or both my sisters. And bought us a pack each of the eye-pods.

At that price you can't really leave them and you did only buy one pack, not 20 like I would have done

Hi everyone
Question for the panel....
I had to chuck my eyeliner pencil last night as i'd dropped it and the core appeared to have broken up when i tried to sharpen it. Does anyone have an recomendations for someone who's an absolute beginner? Last wore liner in the 80's when you painted the inside lower rim of your eyes. I'm looking in the Avon book at work (Brochure 7) and am tempted by the Anew Smoothing eyeliner, or the 24k gold eyeliner. I know there are some offerbut i don't actually want the free gifts so i thought i'd be sensible!!!!!! Only other place i'm likely to go to over the weekend is Asda or Aldi if anyone has any other recommendations.
Unless there's a boots skinny out at the moment that i can get with a top up and can use on one.
Thanks in advance

Hey Lemontree, I'd recommend looking at the GOSH eyeliners in Superdrug. They cost £4.99 and are really soft, so they're really easy to use. My HG is the Golden Moss pencil (I have brown eyes) and I just smudge it around the outside of the top and bottom lashes. Liquid eyeliners and hard pencils are just too difficult!

I'm thinking of using up my No7 voucher on the hand saviour, after hearing Sarah*a's comments about it. I need a new handcream and was tempted by Clinique's one, but No7 will save me a few quid in comparison. :money:
