Charlie huge dodgy group hugs for you :grouphug: How are you feeling today?

Thank you so much for all the tips on the tweezers. I really like the look of the Tweezerman ones and the reviews are all good. So going to either buy them with AC points in B**ts, or get the MisterMascara ones and get the Tweezerman ones in the next set of sales. Kicking myself now for not buying them when BrandAlley last had them on! I usually get my eyebrows threaded every 2-3 weeks, but I always need tweezers for the stragglers or when I don't have time to go get them tidied.

Seconded - charlie do pop in when you get the chance and let us know you're doing OK, won't you.

Re the tweezers - I think those Mister Mascara ones look like excellent value - I have some mini ones that I got at Sephora years ago and absolutely love them - they are so useful to keep in my travel washbag!

UU - FCUK whipped body cream. WNBA because it smells a bit sun-creamy and leaves my skin feeling like i've taken a bath in a deep fat fryer. Sadly I have another to use up yet.

Just tried out a No7 np for the first time. Not too impressed, it seemed a bit runny. And I'm not sure I like the colour (betty blues 110), I know it's supposed to be very dark but it looks black unless I hold my hand up to the light.

I got a lot of the residue out by storing it upside down and using the tube as a kind of spatula when unscrewing the top.

I think I'll have to try that - someone needs to invent a tiny little silicon spatula just for cosmetics/skincare bottles

[RANT]Got a Merc ML in with fuel smell reported. The car is p****ing petrol when started. Taken off the wheel, arch, filter to find the leak is a pipe above tank. Customer doesn't want it done today/tomorrow because wants to drive the car to take kids somewhere or other. HELLO?? One cigarette and kaboom. Why are people so willing to risk their own & others lives?? :mad: [/RANT]

That's :eek: - some people have no sense whatsoever :mad:

Were they allowed to take the car? You should have some sort of legal requirement to hold it for safety's sake

Sorry for the rant guys. But I think that's pretty irresponsible. To know, be aware and still drive it

You UU an eyeshadow??! I'm aiming for that, but I have so many. The favourite base/shadow of the moment is Benefit's Bikini Line. And I've dropped it somewhere :mad: It's great for everyday use no matter what I'm wearing!

*Scuttles off to look at Benefit website*

And a quick review (so far) of the Lacura Multi Intensive Serum which I've been using for a few days. So far I really rate it - goes on cleanly, soaks up well, no greasy residue - I like it. Maybe not as much as my HG P&P but certainly more than the Olay 3 Point Serum :T. In fact I'd say my only criticism so far is that it comes in a glass bottle which will be impossible to get those last bits out of - which we all know is usually at least another weeks worth of product

That is good to know - thanks for feeding back. Think I might be tempted.....

No other UU's but did PYON last night a lovely deep blue - Nails Inc Hangover Sq.

I know! :rotfl: I was expecting it to taste sweet but instead it was gross :rotfl:

I don't think i'll ever be tempted to taste any toiletries ever again:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Just think how much faster we would get through our stashes if things did taste nice though :rotfl::rotfl:

Absinthe Fairy and xoxo are now asked to please leave the naughty step and make their way to the funny farm A pair of wallies :rofl: Anyone else like to admit to having eaten any of their smellies? Are you two the reason that my bottle of radox says on it please don't eat me?

Really cheesed off tonight. Been clothes shopping with the kids and KH. DD is trying to dress like a prostitute and when I say no to something KH just says "Don't ask me, my opinion clearly doesn't count" then he made DD cry by telling her that her favourite Aunty was mocking her clothes at the weekend. DD has loads of clothes and doesn't need anything more than pants and socks. DS just needed trousers. Both need pjs. £75 later and no pants or socks for DD and no pjs for either. KH kept picking stuff up for DD and saying "what about this?" and when I said she didn't need it he'd get the hump.
KH, I'm the one who does the washing and the ironing. I know what they've got. He said she was always coming down in unsuitable clothes and I said that it was because someone else bought her the skirt that she always wears (really really short denim) and I've told her she's not allowed out without leggins on with it because it's too short. He let her out at the weekend with just the skirt . It doesn't mean she doesn't have any other clothes, just that she has no taste. That's where we have to guide her !!!!!!.
Anyway, I'm going to sulk for a bit longer and then go to bed. I've got a terrible headache
