Frittered Away - PLEASE put your first paragraph in white text! It is a spoiler for anyone who hasn't received their box yet

See this post for spoiler warning advice.

Thanks

Oooh! I wish that I'd got the Layla D Natural Beauty Honey day moisturiser.

I hope that SSB don't go down the GB route of offering too many variations...(That is why I left GB)

Sorry! Wasn't thinking hope no-one saw.

Thanks hun - don't worry, we've all done it at some point

On a completely different note; I watched the 80's film Electric Dreams with hubby last night. Neither of us had ever seen it (although we both remember the song) and that energy advert keeps coming on and reminding us about it.

Anyway, it is quite possibly the most creepy, bizarre, mental film I've ever seen. Really. It is just plain ODD. However, it does end with an 80's montage that is to die for and so was well worth watching. We are now hunting down other childhood films such as "Mannequin" and reliving our childhoods. How sad :rotfl:

I've seen Electric Dreams (great 80's song too)....:D

Love Mannequin too - an utter classic. Along with St Elmo's Fire and The Breakfast Club.......:p

I am still trying to not read the spoilers (but keep teasing myself by visiting this thread ). I'm hoping I get a box.....any box.....tomorrow. I'm getting box withdrawl :eek:

Oooh, thanks for the reminder - never seen St Elmo's Fire but The Breakfast Club used to be one that we could recite word for word when we were about 13.

Then I saw it again a couple of years ago and thought "what utter brats. I'm completely on the side of the teacher"..........and I realised that I was getting old :eek: :rotfl:



Can anyone recommend a good nail strengthener for soft, flaking nails? I've tried OPI Nail Envy, all the Sally Hansen ones, Dr Lewinn's, and others that I can't even remember. The best one for instant strength is Sally Hansen Diamond Strength but I want something that will make the new nail growth strong at the same time.

I thought about Mavala Scientifique but it seems to be almost pure formaldehyde and surely that is only going to dry your nails out? Suggestions?

Rosemary - I wonder if they just missed your box by accident? I would email them because I'm sure you're meant to have both items. (The acne face wash might even be worth a try as it's also anti-ageing )

I wasn't that wowed by SSB but I think it might be a grower :rotfl:It's a shame that I had just bought a heated eyelash curler but that isn't their fault! I would normally run a mile from any bronzer but this looks light and pinkish enough for me to try it. I never use a nail file, so that is a bit of a loss to me (I will try it). I've had the face wash before and it's quite nice (not as nice as the Vit C version that came in a box ages ago).

Still no JB here! It's a shame they won't be personalised now

the card in the box only mentioned one so don't think it was missed out:(I find it confusing as to what items to expect as it is not clear at all from the website and I have emailed them ion the past to say so.am beginning to think i should not buy anymore after the next one comes as have so many boxes in the stash and lost count of what I ordered:eek:,also a lot of the stuff goes out as pressies so not trying it....just like the thrill of parcels coming:rotfl:

Leighton Denny does some great renovating cream. It is a tiny tube but you use a teeny tiny bit on your nails, buff it in and then paint/use nail envy type product. I had really short bitten, flaky nails 18 months ago, started using this once a week and now I have to cut my nails constantly because they grow so fast and are really strong. Lovely having pretty nails for once!
