    just listening to Moira Stewart on the news telling of a satalite the size of a bus landing on earth today when half way through the radio went dead:eek:do you think she is ok:rotfl:
    tried batiste dry shampoo today as hair needs a wash but as going swimming later seemed a waste to do it for a short session at work this am!,smells nice but would probably not buy as I swim 3 times a week so would not often use it and as my hair is curly a dry shampoo does not help improve the shape as a wash/dry does.

    ROFL - this really did make me chuckle!

    A UU to report - Charles Worthington Frizz Smoothing Shampoo - WIBA? Well this was bought when Tesco has their lovely Glitch at the beginning of last year - once I'd cleared the shelves of John Frieda BB stuff! It's very nice, smalls great, and leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth, but whether it's any better than any other? Hmmm...undecided. Probably a WNBA, unless on a very good offer. Now onto a JF BB one. There are another couple of uses in the CW conditioner that matched the shampoo so I'll finish that up with the JF.

    Hi Ladies, hope you are all well. Work has been pretty stressful this week :(

    No further UUs or INs so far. But as September is already an epic fail, I'm going to go the whole way and buy a couple of the 17 magnetised polishes as a cheaper alternative to the Nails Inc ones. I did buy a Bobbi Brown foundation for my Mum with the help of a £10 voucher from House of Fraser. I'm also thinking about ordering a couple of Orly polishes from BrandAlley as the price is sooo much better than B**ts etc. That's my downfall though. A bad/upsetting/despressing/stressful day/week, and out come the polishes :eek: I'm wearing a delightful Orly purple today, and I love the fact their polishes dry so quickly. Will post a pic to my photobucket (username sawan82). Also got a pic for xoxo there of pink with silver shatter.

    Flirtini I'm also 29 but had my white hairs since I was 27 :eek:

    Rosemary and Helen your posts are always a delight to read. And everybody else's too!

    I've also been meaning to take a pic of the UD palette and swatch up a few of the colours so will do that. Not that I'm encouraging anybody to buy anything :o

  • Finally used up the last of my Body Shop Banana Conditioner - WBA as it's reasonably priced and did make my hair smooth and soft. That takes me to my target of 90 OUTs for the year so far :) despite September being a very s-l-o-w month! Hopefully October will be better...

    However I did do a big order of all the Lush discons so have some INs to report:

    Creamed Almond and Coconut Smoothie
    Vanilla in the Mist soap
    Lemslip soap
    Keep It Fluffy bath ballistic
    Sakura bath ballistic
    Sugar Babe scrub

    Oh well, I won't need body scrub for a while I suppose!

    I knew it was too good to be true with the absolute failure on the makeup side!

    IN (I honestly did forget this earlier :o)
    Rimmel Vinyl Maxx Gloss in some shade of pink - I won this through their website, not tried it yet, resisted opening it so I can put it up for swaps. Shamefully I still have no list yet :o

  • One UU - Elemis quartz serum. Only a trial size and it was free. WIBA? Depending on price yes. It went on well and did seem to have a smoothing effect. However I have a Decleor aromessence pot to use up first.
