Am already awaiting the OPI TSV on 22 May hoping it contains some of the Minnie Mouse colours.

Oohh Minnie Mouse colours - what are those? I can usually resist Nails Inc and LD on the Q but OPI is a different matter...Will be heading over to Lena White website to have a look at these.

Budge up on the naughty step as I have ordered the L'Occitane kit I mentioned yesterday. Was swayed by EP. In my defence MrM loves the Almond oil and I like the verbena. The Cherry Blossom will go to my sister for either her birthday or part of her Christmas present. x

Looks lovely but am resisting as I need to try and show a bit of self restraint (falls off chair in amazement! :rotfl:)

Have you seen the little hamper on the L'Occ website - available from Tues? Looks v nice but was alerted at the Beauty Bash to a L'Occ try me in May on the Q with a tote bag. Was hoping they may launch it this weekend but no such luck.

I have, as you might expect, bought the Elemis. Have also ordered the LiB box as I would like to try the Elemis body lotion. For good measure I added an Emma Hardie serum for £5 to take advantage of the postage. I really like this and know at £5 it is great value so have managed to convince myself that it is very MSE - hmmmmm!

Am making my way tyo naughty step with apple crumble and Haagen Daas vanilla ice cream if anyone wants to join me??!

Depends what you're in to, I'm a girl and its one of my favourite programmes but then again I'm thoroughly a geek, chemistry degree, comics are overtaking my flat and I'm like a human TV database so I tend to pick up on a lot of the references to other shows or 'online culture' that might fly over the head of 'mainstream' viewers. I have to say though, I prefer Community for those types of 'in jokes'.

Hi everyone. I Have not posted since the beginning of the month, I just can't keep up with the thread at the moment as house hunting is taking so much of my time. I hope everyone's well and resisting the temptaion of Q this weekend. Just wanted to report that I did not, and will not, buy the Elemis TSV I am so proud of myself. I really do not NEED it although I really, really WANT it, would love to try some of the products in there but have so much already. Fortunately I've used the melting cleanser before but am uncertain if it's a favourite and still have a GWP size to use up, if it was a different cleanser I'm not sure I could resist. Now I just have to resist the John Lewis GWP offer next month!

I don't get the big bang theory either though my daughter and my friend Samantha love it. Not just a guy thing then apparently. x

I'm already sat on the naughty step but am being good dietwise and have a yogurt. Can't feel guilty about everything can you??

Here's a link to the Minnie Mouse colours. Not due for release until June. Am hoping they will be in the OPI TSV but knowing OPI and the way they play safe with colours and/or never really get anything really new I'm betting it won't.

Hi Valm. I had an Elemis facial at JL last week, when the therapist was confirming my next appointment for Sun 20th May she said that would be a good day as there was a GWP. I believe it's buy two products and get to choose four travel sizes/minis. I don't know when the offer starts/ends only that it's available on that Sunday, nor which travel sizes you may choose from.

NARS black eyeliner pencil - WBA, its one of the best I've tried.


I've spent the afternoon doing a full list of my HG products. its already quite full so i figured from now on for something where i know i already have one or more HG there is just no point buying different things to try them out, i may as well use the money on what i know works and works well for me. i seem to be trying a myriad of cleansers and each one going "oh but its just not the liz earle!" when i could have just bought the liz earle and had done with it. same with moisturisers and shampoo too!
