Me too and he is becoming an endearing character, looking forward to the mixed doubles now.

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eye Liner - this has been on my wish list for ages. It lives up to all the great reviews

/QUOTE]

Interesting - My Benefit one is drying up and I think I will have to bin it soon, I have been using pencil ones for speed (laziness) and don't think I can justify another expensive one, although I have to be a bit careful with eye makeup because of allergic reactions.

How was your visit to London? hope you are not too tired:D

Here is the link to the eye liner:

The little brush that it comes with works well I put it on my list ages ago because Lisa Eldridge recommended it in her 'favourite high street products' video (you can skip to the 9 minute mark for the review)

(link: http://www.lisaeldridge.com/video/16253/some-high-streetdrugstore-make-up-favourites/).

Very recently a blogger that I like said that it worked as well as her Bobbi Brown gel liner or Mac Fluidline in Black Track but that she would stick to the Maybelline because it didn't dry out as quickly as the Mac one and it was far less expensive that the Bobbi Brown. It's very smooth and easy to use and a really inky black. It seems to set well but I need to test it more thoroughly to be sure. (It's much nicer than my ELF version and better than a purple Dior one that I have).

I seem to have survived my jaunt to London well, thank you :A The show was really good. I felt really anxious whenever Derrren Brown picked seat numbers out of a tombola though! :eek: I absolutely did not want to take part in the show! We had really great seats as they were a gift to my friend that has just started working with DB (as unlikely as it sounds :rotfl:). I managed to get the last fast train home so that helped as well

Oh! I read that if you keep the Benefit shadow/liners upsidedown they dry out less quickly. It even sounds like they might 'recover' as well but that may be wishful thinking. I have mine glass side up just in case it makes a difference. :-)

The thunder and lightning and rain here in Glasgow is EPIC

I was trying to get to Silverburn and one of the main road's have been completely flooded - with a bus and a white van stuck under the bridge too. I wished I had got a photo as I have never seen this myself - only on the news!

I have a UU - Clinique Clarifing Lotion 500mls. This was a LHJ and I WBA as it does work for my skin.

I still need to post my updated stash list which I will do when I get a chance.

Hello from New York!

Well, as predicted I have been in sephora and I'm def on the naughty step BUT all I got was what I had planned to buy and one extra set :j

Also, two things I was going to buy got put back for not being that impressive in real life!

Was going to avoid it from now on but I'll have to go back. I got some tweezerman really pointy tweezers as they are £22 in boots and $22 here but DH has decided they are better than sliced bread and stolen them declaring them amazing for Ingrowing hairs. They are not going near my face now :rotfl:

I hope that you continue to have an amazing time in NY. :beer:

No ins, no outs, not nuffink - just a quick question (which will lead to a brain pick if there is someone!!) is there anyone on here who is (or whose OH is) a lawyer/solicitor/legal bod? Ive got a thing that I could use a sensible head to help with....


Hope you have a fantastic time evilsquid !!
