3 uus for 2day
mitchum 48h deoderant `150ml-would buy again depending on price,not so fussy with deoderants,i like them to be smell free and long as they leave no white marks
in a blink eyeliner -avon- a grey/silver colour not sure of the name because ive sharpened it that much. i do like this and maybe in a couple of years time when i am allowed to buy again avon will either still do it or have something similer.
spell eyeshadow in the shade "do i dazzle you" a lovely pretty pink colour which i have a backup off-this goes lovely with the avon eyeliner
nothing else to report i have about 4 spluttering body lotions,they will prob all go around the same time as i rotate depending on what perfume i am wearing. tried to login to halfpriceperfumes (out of interest you understand NOT TO BUY ) my account wont even let me do that and funnily enough i had loads of points....oh well

Oooooh your eyeshadow/liner combo sounds lovely

Need to repaint mine tonight as well. Going to use my favourite OPI red - An Affair in Red Square.

Possibly a board nail painting party tonight? And with our aim to post more pics, pics of done nails as evidence or at least colour chosen?

I really like the Avon Planet Spa, I think its sugar scrub (at work so can't check). The Planet Spa stuff is usually on offer too. Maybe EH could let you know how much it is.

I think that's the my spluterrer :mad: I also like the Lush scrubs. Can be a bit rough but do the job nicely. Just keep away from water when not in use!

The Avon In-A-Blink liner silver one was steel smoke. I loved mine. Then I lent it to my mum or sister, and never got it back. Never loved the espresso smoke as much

I'm taking a week out this week, naughty I know but will hit the agencies with a vengence next week. For those that asked if I got a good sending off thing, well I'm actually shocked by admitting no - they just kind of said good luck and if we have any problems finding anything relating to your jobs/files can we give you a call? I'm still a bit shocked by it, especially as I know them!! Oh well can't dwell on that, my friends took me out for a good old fashioned night out instead, so was in the company of people who appreciate me!!/QUOTE]

Thats awful roshydoshy. You deserve a week to yourself. When I left my job to have a baby it was like that, bunch of old miserys. One woman who hated me for reasons unknown to me refused to put in for my collection and wouldn't even sign the card. I cried for the rest of the day about that, not for me but because it felt like she was being mean to my baby IYSWIM.:(

Hello Ladies im back in this month i think i will be in for the next 2 years, and i brought some more things yesterday, im still feeling like carp so i decided to buy some things from Lloyds pharmacy buy 1 get 2 free so here is what i brought.

Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Gift Box x6 = £15.98 = 66p a bottle

Black Pepper and Ginseng Gift Set (Baylis & Harding) x3 = £3.99 = 44p bottle

Your Organics face cream x3 =£3.99 = £1.33 bottle

Tresemme shampoo £1.99

Tresemme Conditioner £1.99

Enliven Shampoo x4 49p = £1.96

Enliven Conditioner x4 = 79p =£1.96

Hot water bottle x3 = £9.99 =£3.33 each

not all of it is for me i got the 4x shampoo's & 4 condioners for my mum. one of the Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Gift Box's i will put away as a gift. 2 of the Black Pepper and Ginseng Gift Set's i will put away for my dad 1 for fathers day with some other bits and 1 for xmas. and i cant live without my hot water bottle as i have endrometrioss in my leg and really bad back pain still waiting to find out what is wrong with it, so i thought at £3.33 each it was worth it. i made sure my order was over £40 so that i did not have to pay p&p.
so that only just comes under Febuary i will try not to buy anything this month.

I have the same problem. I'll have to do my nails every day for a year I think to finish my varnishes

PS Am in for the nail painting party tonight although it may be clear nail varnish as my nails are rubbish, but that still counts, right!

ooh, big nail painting party, I have no excuse to not do them now! Loved the suggestion of pics too, though I'm slightly worried I'll get colour envy if I see what everyone else has, and want to buy more :rotfl:

@fixx I'm surprised that cosmetics are so expensive in Switzerland, mental note I can't afford to go there, and I :heart2: Cadbury Dairy milk too. If you run out send me a PM and I'll send you some, Ireland is the home of Cadburys after all!

Most things are more expensive here, but I'm lucky in having fairly regular excuses to go back to London for shopping I've got a fairly short shopping list this time, but it'd still be about a £100 saving on buying things here :eek: If it's a big clothes shop, I'd save several hundreds of pounds!

Having said that, lots of things can be done cheaply here if you look about - MSE has been a really good influence on me over the past couple of years, and I do look out for deals here, and think more sensibly about I want to buy. Hence not wanting to leave the site! And obviously because of all you lovely ladies

If anyone is ever visiting Geneva and wants tips about decent, not overly inflated prices, let me know!

As for the choc, thanks for the offer! I'm actually Irish (just been working in London for quite a while) and used to remember laughing at all my north american relatives who would go crazy and stock up on all the varieties you could only get in Ireland - and now it's me doing virtually the same! My trip back to the parents at Easter is going to be messy

Oooh, and now I have a massive craving for Top Deck :rotfl:Daydreaming about cadburys is not productive!

Lush do sell a cute little tin to store it in - I got mine free with two bars. I would try and dry it as if you don't you get bits stuck to the tin.
Because my hair is spaghetti straight I found that just wetting my hair and stroking the bar down it three times generated enough lather for my whole head. You can also work up a lather between your palms and rub in more conventionally.

I've tried a few of the bars, I currently have Karma and are saving what's left for holidays, as it's so portable.

Godiva was the bar I didn't get on with, a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, it had huge lumps in it and disintegrated easily. It was really wasteful.
