    Hi newbies - welcome!

    Sawan - wear mango or pineapple BB, I'll come sniff you if you are a big portable piña colada.... :D

    on in (the s&g mascara with elle [STRIKE]magazine[/STRIKE] advertizing book - what a croc of !!!!! that is !!!) and one out - the Rimmel waterproof one that fills the bags under my eyes quite nicely, but doesnt stick to my lashes....

    the s&g one might well rival the benefit one for favouritism...

    oh - and finally finished the benefit "its potent" eye cream tiny pot i got in that freebee set last year. discovered it in the bottom of a box, and decided to use. WIBA? - possibly, but ive got the clinique one from last years Glamour promo on the go now - have GOT to start trying to get shot of the bags !!! :rotfl:

    off to do more cleaning, got a "friend" coming to stay for a few days tomorrow with his dog - hes been up north on the promise of a job, got to the yard to find that they decided they dont need anyone after all :mad: so hes been sleeping rough since Tuesday :eek: told him that Im going to get him tonight (from up near Coventry somewhere) but he said no - he will bunk down somewhere and hitch down to me tomorrow... ive not met this guy, but we have lots of (genuine!) mutual friends on facebook - having "known" him on there for two years or so, im really hoping hes not a mad axe murderer, but I really cant let him sleep rough when I have the ability to do something about it... just hope we can find him a job somewhere so he doesnt stay long!! :rotfl:

    I placed an order for Clarisonic Cleansing System, I had been waiting for it to be a TSV, so I will have a few INs to report next week.

    Does anyone here have any hints, tips, advice about what works/doesn't work with it, any info. gratefully received.

    I am also considering budgeting for a Tua Trend or similar, i am 63 this year, and although I am lucky to have good skin, it is not only all downhill from here, it is downhill at a fast pace I think!

    Urban Decay Naked 2 palette: I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of this, the colours suit me really well.

    Oooohhh lovely - I have seen this and they are SO my colours. Am trying to resist as I bought the Bobbi Brown tortoise shell palette last Summer and am reciting - "I do not need another neutral eyeshadow palette" on a daily basis!

    Another UU for me : Laura Geller Balance N Brighten. Have shopped in my stash for another. I now only have this foundation left - yay. Am gonna try to a) avoid the TSV and b) not repurchase until this new one has all gone.

    I will probably be on the naughty step on 29 Feb - not sure I will have your resolve!

    I have quite a few UU as the Forum was playing up on Thurs when I last tried to post:

    Decleor experience de l'age mask - loved the smell and texture of this and it made my skin feel lovely and soft but not in the market for any more masks at the moment. This was a 5ml size and I still have another 15ml in my stash.

    Decleor lip balm - would definately buy this again as it is a lovely texture and smell - have started another pot already as it is ideal in cold weather for keeping chapped lips at bay.

    Liz Earle Instant boost skin tonic - have some in my stash otherwise I would have already stocked up on this - a HG product that I would never be without as it smells so lovely.

    Liz Earle cleanse and polish 50ml - another HG product - still have plenty left in my stash (7 x 100ml tubes I think!:o). Like to alternate this with the Elemis pro radiance cleanser.

    And a TA
    Elemis wrinkle control sun cream 20ml - found this when clearing a cupboard and decided as I couldn't remember how old it was prob best to TA as it will be well past its best.

    Have a great weekend everyone. Hope it's not too icy where you are. Off to town for an eye test this afternoon - hope I don't need new glasses as the last lot cost me over £300 (I need varifocal lenses now :(). Then I realised I would need prescription sunglasses so that was another £250 :eek:.

    the march and september issues are always like 100 pages of mag and 300 pages of ads. they're both the start of the new season so get ridiculous. it used to be my fave mag until i got my Allure subscription on my iPad. beauty pron every month for like £10 per year :o the websites pretty good too (http://www.allure.com/)

    I can imagine it's pretty frustrating when that happens And :( My tutor was particularly 'annoyed' because they had forgotten to put the follow-on course in the prospectus :eek:

    Trudij That's not a bad idea! :D Now i just need to smell like that around a gorgeous (single) man who loves the smell of coconut and fruit :rotfl::rotfl: I hope he's a nice guy that's coming to stay :)

    I also want NAKED2. I already have the original (with the pencil), but it's definitely more a want than a need. I do have £15 on a gift card/BC card, so would combine those with a 10% off. It's just waiting for that combination & going to Oxford Street.

    Got delayed last night with mobile problems, and my foundation shade was oos :( Will pop to town to try to get it later maybe.
