    Ohh! Which band? One of my favourites placed at Reading 2009 and have been around for AGES and are huge in the US. If it is the same band then I will get tickets beg, borrow or steal!

    New Found Glory :)

    Probably worth checking around on the ticket sites even if its a different band as I think a lot of the US bands are doing an kind of UK mini tour before the festivals later in the year....
    That's how I ended up seeing Brand New twice back in '09 (not them is it?) - booked tickets to see them in Birmingham and then after that they announced they were playing at Reading too..

    Have INs

    3 perfume samples - all the same perfume though. Freebie from internet I ordered months back. Stupid thing is I ordered a different perfume sample before the same company before and these new fragrances smell exactly the same....Not really that nice. Bit kind of like lavander

    Helen E lip crayon my lip crayon I ordered from OH's email came today, not tried it as to be honest its not the kind of thing I use but it was freeee. Might put some of my freebies aside for my sister for christmas :p

    I always use the Schwarzkopf Live Colour XXL - they do loads of shades of red. I tend to either go for either Red Passion for a brighter red or Cyber Purple for a darker one....

    I tried cyber purple a few years ago and it came out really really bright purple. Like a cadbury's chocolate wrapper colour! It faded to a much more subtle dark red after a couple of weeks but not the best colour to use if you don't want to risk temporary purpleheadedness :)
    Personally I liked the purple too but it did look a bit OTT :p

    There. That's newly died (or maybe washed once or twice) on the right and after about a month on the left.
    And I know it's mega vain but it's blacked out cause I didn't like my face in the pic :o


    I think i'm going red haired again soon :) Almost decided :p I always just go for whatever brand's on offer though!

    *waves* Afternoon All :D

    Had a lovely day yesterday with OH's family and it was great to see his brother again even if it was just a flying visit. The dogs didn't wreck the house - which was a bonus :p

    One UU - Paris Hilton 'Fairy Dust' EDP. WIBA? At a good price :D I think this is possibly the first ever perfume I've actually finished :p I do like it but very rarely buy perfumes. OH has taken the empty bottle off me so he can 'replace it' but he was a bit drunk so probably won't remember :rotfl:

    Hugs for all :A


    ETA: I've just been accepted for a handcream trial with clixresearch. I haven't had a trial off them for ages but I was lucky as I got the email within 10 minutes of it being sent :T

    NFG -

    August 18th - Cardiff Solus (Tickets £15 + £2 booking fee)

    August 21st - Birmingham 02

    August 22nd - Glasgow The Garage

    August 23rd - London Electric Ballroom

    August 24th - Brighton Concorde

    Not sure if there are many tickets left but it seems some sites are selling them even though advertised as sold out elsewhere. See Tickets said the one for Cardiff was Sold out but TicketLine UK (cardiff based) had tickets left.

    Might be best to check direct with the venue if no luck online

    Whenever I dye mine with it, it comes out reddy - more like your pic on the left but saying that my hair never seems to change colour no matter what colour I dye it. It never comes out like it does on the box

    Flying visit before I'm spotted, OPI on sale at Lena White (saw it on the Grabbit board). Personally not a huge OPI fan after trying the minis, but v tempted by the Serena Duo (though I do have a Barry M black shatter already). I should be ok to resist. Almost gave in to L'Occitane yesterday though :eek:
