Did i miss my own birthday? :rotfl:

Oops, A very happy unbirthday to you then xx And happy unbirthdays to everyone else and me included. I'm so glad it's Friday.

No further UUs however it seems we will be going to JL on Sunday as MrM needs a replacement Elemis Sensitive Shave Gel. Will see what the GWP is when I get there. I am getting low on my Papaya Enzyme Peel though so will see.

I'm also quavering on the OPI TSV. I've seen the colours and out of the kit of 5 (although QVC say it contains 6 - so not sure what the extra product is (bet it's a bag or nail file) I really love 3 of them and don't have colours like them. I was talking to my nail lacquer friend at work yesterday and reckon she would buy the other two lacquers from me so am thinking this is very :money:. Roll on Tuesday. x

re age spots ...think I have found my HG!

Vital Light Serum

Dark spot correcting, age repairing ,had a tube as a GWP in april and have been using on my hands as hate my age spots esp one on the right....well even with my specs on(when it looks worse!)I can see it is definately getting smaller and lighter:j:j:j:j:jI think it is meant for the face as says use a walnut size blob but one smaller squirt does the job on my hands.It is not cheap...£57 for 30mls:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:but if it works!will of course buy when GWP is on,think they have an online one at the mo for jubilee.

Murad Skin Perfecting Primer, 5ml- WBA, but a cheaper version....never thought i would buy into the whole primer thing, but it works. Less foundation needed aswell

I so wanted the Emma Hardie TSV, but managed to resist, have bought a couple of sample sizes from *bay, but have yet to get my hands on the balm. The OPI does not call me, except for the Blue, so if I like the look of it on the TV (my pc is sooooo out on colour) I will hunt it down later, even if I ended up paying full price, I would still save a significant amount:money:

Rosemary, thanks for this,:A I will add details to my "wanted" list, I have a bit left in a Boots one and a Clinique unopened, so if they are not successful, I will look out for it. Hope the exam sitting goes well.

hello everyone

this thread inspired me to think about my hoarded cosmetics so I started on my nail varnish collection (76 :eek:). 6 were fit only for the bin so they went but I was wondering how well some of my other unloved varnishes would sell on ebay. I've got revlon and bourgois, 2 pretty much new and 4 with some used but not a lot, would these sell do you think?

Xaniwoop, they might sell, why not wait for a FLW and list them. Then if they don't sell, you haven't lost anything
So, yesterday I had a lovely long bath and used lots of my sanctuary souffle. I'm down to the bottom on this now so will be starting on my TBS body butters soon . I also packed my hated deodorant in a bag yesterday for when we went to the BRI for DD's # clinic appointment in case she was admitted for an op. she wasn't (phew!) as she has some new bone growth showing. There's still a little bend in one of the bones but the consultant is fairly sure that it will straighten in time. She has to stay in a full pop for the next 3 weeks though. ANYWAY, my point... I can't find it now (the deodorant) so can I replace it guilt free? Or do I have to actually look in the bag and dig it out to UU?
I'm relaxing today and trying to finish knitting my cardigan. I can't wait to wear it
Happy weekend all

Hey everyone. Remember me?

I'm not "in" for May because I'm really unwell at the moment (early pregnancy and M.E so a big double whammy!) so haven't been managing to use anything up because I don't have the energy, but I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is.

Congratulations on the pregnancy. I had my little boy 4 months ago and enjoying every minute.

Congratulations LadyMorticia, hope you don't feel to unwell, will be worth it though.

Have tried my Double Wear foundation sample and love it. Applied it with a brush yesterday but found it a bit heavy for me so did it with my fingers today and it looks great. This is the light version that I am trying not the original one. Really want to buy it but I have several foundations waiting in the queue.

I am also using a sample of EL Idealist, gwp size and am finding that the few scars I have on my cheekbones seem to be fading, want to get a full size but it is very expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions for something cheaper to fade scars?

Congratulations - hope you are not feeling too icky.

I have ordered the Emma Hardie TSV, I figure its a good price to try some of her other products....off to the naughty step.

Yes, well I will keep you company - decided to go for this as my May TSV especially as I love the moringa balm, serum and am/pm moisturiser. I was keen to try the night time cream so it seemed too good an offer to resist. Pity no microfibre cloth included though. Will have my eyes closed and my fingers in my ears for the rest of the month now **la, la, la**

Its my birthday soon and OH wants to know what I'd like, for the make up addicts amongst us, the burning question is NAKED or NAKED 2?? I think I'm leaning towards 2 at the moment but having fun musing it over! x

I got Naked for my birthday and I love it - have now put Naked 2 on my Christmas list.

Plus, have another UU to report:

Vie energizing foot cream - WNBA but presumably wouldn't be able to as I think they have gone into liquidation. Did a decent job but have other foot creams that I prefer. Have now started using a Margaret Dabbs one which I love.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
