    Morning all

    Have a few outs

    TA - No7 Lift and Luminate foundation in Cream, I have tried this a few times but it is too orange for me so as much as it pains me i have binned it.

    TA - Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection foundation - This just doesn't blend on my skin, it sits there very visibly and it transfers to clothing too easily - collars on coats etc - yuk. Again I have binned it.

    Nspa - Apple mint crunch bath and shower gel - into the handwash dispenser. This was only £2 for 500ml so I thought that was fine for handwash.

    A wonderful surprise package from one of the Toiletries Girls here who wanted to send me some goodies... not a swap, just a lovely, lovely gesture. I now have some super new things to try. I am a happy, happy bunny. THANKS AGAIN!!

    Welcome back Rosemary - glad you had a good time.

    I have an itty bitty in - MUA Eyeliner in Malt Chocolate, I had one of these but DD decided to borrow it, forever it would seem. It was the grand total of £1 and even has a sharpener on the lid - amazing.

    I returned my L'occitane facial moisturiser with SPF from the shea butter range earlier this week. It made my skin itch. It's a shame I love their range of moisturisers (the 25%% one is my HG night creme). I have never returned an item before which has been used. I expected to get a refund but had to settle for a credit note to be used on future purchases. Is that the same in other shops?

    Afterwards I went to Boots and bought with my points an SPF facial moisturiser from the eight hour range from Elizabeth Arden and that one I get on fine with. Bought a sample box with a 15 SPF moisturiser, 30ml hand treatment and a 15ml skin protectant.

    The skin protectant is an absolute brilliant night hand creme my hands are feeling soft again.

    Well I've had an interesting weekend. Went to the doctors last night to get pre Japan vaccinations, went to reception after to book in for the second course, next thing I know i'm seriously wondering why I can see the light fittings and people's faces at the same time...

    I managed to pass out and crack my head open like an egg, blood everywhere. I got to ride in an ambulance which I never have before :D

    On a beauty related note, they've managed to superglue me back together to save having to shave chunks of my hair off for stitches.

    Anyone any tips for getting blood out of hair? My hairs solid with it but I cant get the wound wet cos the glue will disolve, grr.
