    Catriona_P sorry to hear about the exam and i hope things with hubby improve quickly.

    Same goes for me Catriona_P.

    One LHJ UU today. Elizabeth Arden Skin Simple Eye Crealm. This lasted ages and worked really well. Picked it up in the States after it was discontinued here, so not much chance of being able to rebuy. I WBA if I could.

    I am now down to 4 eye creams. I can't remember the last time I had so few :T.

  • I'm struggling. Our "posh" store is having a 175 anniversary this year. They have special issue cosmetics in fuschia to celebrate!!! Sparkly magenta nailpolish is calling me, and they have a fuschia NARS lip colour....

    I keep telling myself not to do it because it's a horrible place to park but if I go early in the morning and I have a friend who's depressed and a NARS junkie. I'd be a good friend, right????

    Morning all.

    Have uu to report today -

    Mandara spa Amber heaven bubble bath
    Mandara spa Amber heaven body wash
    Mandara spa Amber heaven body cream
    Dermalogica special cleansing gel

    The Dermalogica cleanser was a 5ml size and I am not sure what was supposed to be special about it, just seemed like any other face wash to me. Maybe if I had a full size I would know but I don't intend to buy any.

  • cherry red hair and pink sparkly toes ....OH did not even notice:mad:when i pointed it out said ,its not that red......oh yes it is and can't get excited about painted toes.....why do I bother??????
    some ins today as ordered Espa using £30 gift card from spa trip ages ago as they had 4 free samples offer on plus free del over £40 so got two shower gels at £18 each and two sachets of salt scrub at £7 so cost me £13:)gave OH some shaving mud for this travel bag and kept 3 things for me to try.

    looked at elemis after beauty room gave me samples but thought it very expensive even with the three for two offer they have on.
    hope all well and welcome back to those who have been on hols(hope they had a better time than me:rotfl:)

  • and FINALLY a Laura Mercier eyehadow UU :j:j got loads in the stash (inc a repeat of this colour in another set :rotfl: ) but a step in the right direction!

    Hi All,

    Extremely excited as first day off work and I'm not going back until 1st Oct :j:j:j:j:j We fly to Crete tomorrow afternoon, soo looking forward to it and OH definitely needs a break to relax and unwind, he's been so grumpy lately! Its a massive complex so if he annoys me I'll just reposition myself somewhere further away with my book and my cocktail(s) :D

    Still got to paint toe nails, do individual lashes and a whole host of less glamorous things like put the rubbish out!!

    If I'm not back later, see you in a week :wave:

    I was in the Med too x It was beautiful! Have a fantastic time xx
