Hello ladies.
Fiasco55, I too have broken into a can of Sally Hansen airbrush legs over the past couple of weeks. I realised how old my unused can was when I saw the product on sale with updated packaging (mine feature somebody wearing a faux-Burberry mini skirt, hmmmm, new can has a better outfit!). Anyway I endorse the good review. Gives a really good colour and feels nice. It's very handy when I can't be fagged putting on fake tan the night before. I want to squeeze a few more weeks of bare leg out of 2011!
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Mine too!!

Will be moving another into the car for emergencies.Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
Helen I'm SO with you on the Clinique Mousse cleanser - lo vely isn't it - I had one part used when I started the challenge and was really quite sorry when I finally cut it open and dug the last out.Thats why God invented trifle...
My oven is playing silly !!!!!!s at the moment too - think the gas bits must need a clean or something, cos nothing I put in is cooking in the time its meant to - its just not getting hot enough:??
2 UU today :j another soap (YAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and the random perfume with the faux pearl in it. that wasnt finished, but I got sick of it spluttering !! WIBA?? no to either of them - cant remember the perfumes name, and the soap was just a blue soap. did lather nicely to be fair, but didnt really make me feel clean !!
Was the perfume NOA by Cacherel (I think) by any chance? I had some bottles of that a few years ago and you've now reminded me how lovely it smelt. If that's your sort of fragrance generally then you might try Beyond Paradise (Estee Lauder?) and the new Avon Outspoken Intense.
I'm battling a bout of tonsillitus at the moment. I have work booked tomorrow (was working today too) and if it's no better on Thursday I'll get myself a Docs appointment for some anti-b's. At least I know it'll be a quick appointment - I go in, the Doc asks me what I'm there for, I tell him I have tonsillitus and would like some erythromycin please. He says "hmmm" in a disbelieving sort of way, and looks down my throat, before saying in some surprise "goodness, you have, haven't you!" and then after a brief departure along the "I'll give you penicillin" "No, please don't, I'm imune to it" (Yep, really - does absolutely NOTHING for me!) he checks my notes and I go away with the erythromycin scrip I went in for! :rotfl: Hopefully I can get it gone without that though - currently treating it with blazing hot tea and will have a whisky before bed.
No news currently on the toiletries front - splutterers are still spluttering - I did UU two of those single-use samples of Nivea Soft on a camping trip at the weekend though so that was something!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Congrats Flirtini.
DH and I are trying to move out of his parents but it's hard because there is no way a private LL would take us on (I'm disabled and DH is my carer) and we're only on silver banding so bidding for properties still leaves us at number 60 odd with 59 people before us.
New flats have just been built in the village though and are going to be for those with local connections (which DH and I have strong ones) so hoping that we'll be successful this time.

Hi ladies,
Adilade - Interesting to hear about your Alberto Balsam conditioner - I'm having the same problem! It never used to be this runny.Simple moisturising facial wash WIBA? This was the longest LHJ ever, had been open since January, bought in the Tesco buy one get two free simple deal, so still have two left might not open a new one for a bit.
Carlolyn, that's bad news- I've just started a bottle of this!!
I am really impressed by this and am definitely getting some for my hols although it won't be the QVC kit - mainly because I don't really need the tonic and moisturiser even though these are technically "freebies" there's no point in adding to my stash. Wow haven't I learnt something from this thread. So instead I'm having a nosey at Ebay for it.
Anyway, I read some reviews of this product before I tried it and most people were saying that they found it unsuitable for oily skin. I have combination skin and can be very oily on my T zone. The first time I applied it I applied too much and Emma said I looked like my face was caked in make up whilst MrM said my tone looked evened out. Yesterday, I used less and the saying less is more is definitely true. Did find that my chin felt oily towards the end of the day but that's better than feeling that way round about lunch time, right? I used the beige 02 sachet first and now want to see how bare the bare one is before purchasing.
VALM - thanks for your thoughts. Particularly, interesting as I have the same T-zone problem, so I'll bear this in mind if I purchase it.
A few more UUs/OUTs here - I'm doing well!
Travel size hotel body lotion
Unbranded soap - it didn't lather properly and I was fed up of it so in a rash moment I binned it.
LE Cleanse & Polish 100ml. This has been on the go for sooooooo long. This has been my staple cleanser for the last 5 years or so and although I'm happy with it I just feel like a change so WNBA for the moment.
Have a good dayDo nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end - Edward Whymper0
