Question any ideas for the Argan Oil still not sure what to do with it.

I'll be using mine on my hair, work through dry hair, concentrating on the ends, wrap in a warm towel for 1/2 hour, shampoo out. Not tried it yet so not sure of the effects, all online reviews seem good though

Another UU, liz Earle smoothing line serum 10ml.

WNBA- although I love the liz Earle range, I don't feel that this serum made much difference to my skin and it feels quite sticky too, so won't buy again.

I've been using SBC collagen gel under my moisturiser instead, and my skin is feeling quite nice and plump, so will go with that for a while.

A wee IN to declare too - batiste dry shampoo, bought at lunch time to prepare for a night out straight from work

Hope everyone is well, my work has been mad busy recently, so have hardly had a minute to catch up with everyone. Soooo glad it's Friday tomorrow xxx

Advance warning - need to make space on the naughty step. Philosophy TSV coming up in 2mins. Not sure I will be able to resist...........




OMG - auto delivery............ what's going on there??? Was not expecting that!
Ah, well, now I have calmed down a bit - have decided I don't need AD - but I do need summer Grace!!

Don't do it, Scrappie! :rotfl:

(Unless it will really cheer you up. I was so sorry to read that you've been so stressed & upset by work. I hope things improve for you soon )

I have resisted sending for shampoo samples that I don't need. Go me. (L'Oreal Everpure, which I'm using anyway.)
Enjoyed using my St Ives scrub, this may be a purchase once I've dug out the other scrub I've had since last year and used this up.
I had some safety grab rails fitted for the shower yesterday - my balance has deteriorated badly over this last year, so I can now hang on in safety if my hip gives way. I used them this morning and it was a joy to move around freely, I hadn't realised how much I wasn't moving. I'd stopped washing my hair in the shower as I'd noticed not all the conditioner was washing out, now I realise why. I'd blamed lack of power from the shower but it was me not directing the water on to the right places.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH help me girls! I really, really want this!! Note the use of the word want, not need!!

I have enough showergels to supply a small country if necessary but I like matching sets so would be good to be able to layer. I'm not to bothered about the lipgloss but I really want the perfume and the miracle fix all 27 wishes.

Right, deep breath, new plan................I will go to John Lewis at lunchtime, try the perfume and then make a decision. That's the mature and sensible thing to do right???? :rotfl:

You can find out when the Clinique Bonus Times are here:

To all you Amarya subscribers - still no Amarya box - how long would you leave it before ringing them up to query?

Also, can anyone suggest a really good lip cream to help with little wrinkles - have noticed that I am getting a few wrinkles round my top lip and want something to help with that? Any ideas anyone? Thanks. I know Clarins do one - anyone tried it?

pollyfilla works for me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:If you do find anything that works let me know as I hate the lip lines more than laughter lines as think they make me look sooo old:(:(:(:(

Morning all!!

I'm not having much movement on the toiletries UU front. But I've come to confess my INs

Amarya Box: Same as everybody else: Full size Argan oil, Jurlique sachet, Evolve conditioner sachet.

Sister went to Dubai and bought me back a couple of bits from a makeup store I love over there:
Minx Sealed with a Kiss Lipstick Duo in Breathless
22k Baked Eyeshadow in Wild Orchid

I went to both Westfields at the weekend, from Stratford I only bought one nail polish. From White City I bought a couple of polishes (which I no longer count because I think we'd all pass out from the number):
Kiko Petal Highlighter in 2 - this is so beautiful! Sister bought one and I put back a double ended shadow pencil I was about to buy to get this instead!
Kiko Glamorous Eye Pencil in Avio Blue
Inglot 2 Eyeshadow Freedom Palette with a turquoise & a light grey/silver
(Total £25.8)

NPI
Flora by Gucci Gardenia Gift Set: I really want this, but I really don't need any more perfume. I walked away from what could have been a bargain, as it was 50ml EDT, body lotion, and a mini EDT (which was super cute)- with 10% off so about £44, and I have £13 on a gift card. At least I resisted this if not the makeup!

Also somebody hit my brother's car while it was parked on Saturday afternoon, causing major damage. Luckily in a way the other guys car also had heavy suspension damage as it meant he couldn't drive off, which my neighbour said it looked like he was trying to do! Then Tuesday I was leaving for work, I saw somebody trying to seal it!! I know the recovery driver who was meant to be collecting it, and it definitely wasn't him. So I called my brother & we chased after the car! I was driving, and honestly I was in serious shock! Eventually caught up when he'd pulled over, either to secure it properly to disconnect the battery as the alarm was blaring. We had a discussion, then he offloaded the car, and left, but the police were 5 minutes too late

Sorry for the essay! I thought I'd share my 'Gone in 60 Seconds' moment :rotfl:

OMG what excitment!!someone crashed into me years ago in a car park and drove off....opposite the cop shop but as it was private grounds they did not give a s***:mad:

also DH had someone crash into him at the supermarket with my DS3 onboard,he came back full of it "daddy got out and then the man got out........." sounded like gunfight at the OK corral the way he told it:rotfl::rotfl:

back on toiletries! just checked my neals Yard berry cream(free with mag) and it has indeed gone out of use by but as I have not openned it yet I will take a chance.Also using up Clarins santal oil,smells lovely and seems to be ok for my skin BUT am annoyed that the pipette(? right word) does not reach the bottom of the botttle and there is about a tenth left and at £32 a bottle this amounts to £3.20s worth:eek:so now taking top off each time to use it all,dont know if WBA as only bought to try and get the GWP at bonus time,I have another oil that was a,lot cheaper and actually smells the same!
