Ok I think I need some hugs or I might cry.

I treated myself to £50 worth of MAC makeup the other day. Then realised I had some perfectly good elf blushers sitting at home. Returned the lot, £50 refund.

Is this my lightbulb moment?

I am one big raw exposed nerve tonight. I genuinely think I've hit burn out. Have made poor OH sit in silence since I got home because I just can't stand noise or giving my attention to anything.

One UU from me: Nivea express hydration primer 1.5ml sample

Free sample with mag, decided to try it under foundation today. Saw no change or improvement to my usual moisturiser under foundation, WNBA

Hope you feel better in the morning

I've painted my nails both toes and fingers .... probably better to not look at the toes i think i missed them nails :rotfl:.

Got Rimmel "posh trash" on my fingernails quite like the understanded pinkybrown it doesnt highlight the fact thats ive biten them to shreds in the last few weeks and they are the shortest i think they have ever been... the nail polish is to make me conscience of the fact that i keep nibbling them... hopefully it make me stop.:o

I had a very pleasant surprise when using the 400 ml Avon Care Nourishing body lotion (cocoa butter and almond) - this was a bargain basement four - items - for - a - fiver buy.
It's absolutely lovely, very thick and rich, holds its shape like a cream rather than a liquid lotion. Rubbed in so well, pleasant, light fragrance.

Half of me is a bit annoyed I didn't order another bottle on three items for a fiver this month. However, I will never graduate if I keep on thinking like that.

That's two recent bargain buys that have proved to be great, the other being the 50p Palmolive Delicates Almond Shower Milk from Wilko's.

I am rather proud of myself, went into TKM** and B**ts and did not buy a thing (not even a lovely Cashmere cardi), lot of nail polish and lovely bath things, but managed to walk out with wallet intact.

H cycling this morning, so off for a pamper, face mask, mani and pedi (cuticles are a bit gross) and may even get to repaint nails.

Damp and grey here, hope it is better where you are.

I was like this last night as well whilst painting my toe nails. Need to scrub excess polish off my feet this am in the shower. I have just repainted my finger nails as well as I didn't get the chance last night. Am now wearing Leighton Denny Leading Lilac on my toes and OPI Pink Friday on my fingers. I like the colour Pink Friday but the formula is rubbish - is very thick like tippex. It's a mini bottle mind you and it has been in residence in Emma's room for a while so there's probably not much of it left!

Sounds very much like it. Well done you on returning the goodies. x

Welcome getting there slowly. What are your weaknesses then?[/QUOTE]

Weaknesses are boots Sanctuary stuff - all of it! body shop japanese cherry range, make up that I hardly ever wear - but I dont have that colour, lip balm/chap stick style that I seem to use for a while then lose it then find it again after buying another.

The wrost thing for me is special offers! where i live there is a boots and a superdrug across the street from each other so there is always something on offer.

My family also buy me smellies birthdays/christmas and although the gifts are all very nice they arent what I would buy myself so I tend to put them to one side, special offers creep in thus the stores never deminish.

Luckily I dont have expensive taste or financial situation cold be lot worse:rotfl:

Morning All.

Painted my nails last night with my new Nails Inc Primrose Park with a coat of the Nails Inc Glitter free with Glamour and they look really pretty and sparkly.

Have a uu to report today

Estee Lauder Daywear - 15ml, WBA and for now I have replaced it with another one in the same size so I will see how I feel after finishing that one as it is more like having used a full size pot then.

Quite a few other things spluttering so should be quite a good month I think.

A few weeks ago I bought a pot of PK Elasticizer based on recommendations on here. I followed the instructions the first time I used it and was sparing as I have short fine hair and I could see no difference. I tried again on Saturday and just applied as I would any other hair mask and my hair is AMAZING. It is soft and shiny and so bouncy and I can't stop touching it. Worth a try for anyone suffering with dry, brittle hair at this time of year.
