Another UU for me
Garnier pure 3 in 1 face wash - WBA and already have - has improved my blemished skin a little and have had a few less outbreaks since starting using it - small steps!

Have some more items listed on ebay to balance out my mammoth ins.

Very unhappy with my nails, its two weeks now since i had the gel colours removed and my nails seem to be getting worse rather than better. They still keep breaking despite being filled all the way down, and they are painful due to the breaks being so high up. I used to have lovely nails and a couple of years of using the gel colours has completely recked them and I've even had quite a few breaks from it in the last year. They are in such a state i can't even paint them at the moment. I desperately hope they improve in time for my holidays at the end of May. Any ideas what i can do with them in the meantime?

Even a short period of wearing gel colour caused me some problems, added to that I have some difficulty absorbing nutrients, so although they look fantastic on I don't go that route now.

Have a look at this LEF article (reputable organisation), not suggesting that you buy all the nutrients listed, but you may be able to tweak your diet to include more of the relevant ones. Personally from time to time I use a good multi vit and mineral and also biotin - although Biotin can increase hair growth, so anyone who has a problem with facial hair might want to avoid it.

I would also suggest using a good cuticle oil/cream as many times a day as you can fit in, as well as the hydration, masssaging it in will help blood flow.

TA - Anais Anais Eau de Toilette, 50ml - I've been wearing this every day for a couple of weeks and I noticed that it's given me a rash on my wrists and neck! It might be because it's old. Decided to TA. WNBA!

TA - Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara full-size, this is over a year old so really needs to go!

Hope you're feeling better Moromir

So sorry for your losses Rosemary and Mccullough

Have some INs - Crest Whitestrips - you get 7 in a pack so counting as 7.

I've had a really rubbish week (has basically added onto an awful month tbh) - Bf's in hospital, can't visit him as I'm ill and don't want to make him worse, and lots of family drama...I'll be glad when this month is over! And (as usual) I've had a comfort buy, I'm afraid! None of it has arrived yet, so will list it when it arrives!

3 UUs - Sanctuary Microdebrasion scrub - WBA but have other things I need to use up at the moment. Bit pricy but lasted forever!

Clarins Skin Illusion Foundation sample - WNBA - bit too thin for me.

Crest whitestrip - WBA - saw an instant difference to my teeth!

Have had a bit of a wallowy night and painted my nails and watched a film - they're a red sparkly colour I got given for Christmas.

Question for you - you know when a powder crumbles in its pan, is there anything you can do, or do you really need to throw it?

Hope you're all well!

Rosemary and And I'm sorry to hear that you've both lost a friend.

Helloooooo!

A couple of things to report from me!

I have moved a couple of things into my presents stash to add to another present of the same brand...

Along Came Betty Skin Tone Corrector Shine G'One 50ml
Along Came Betty Night Cream The Night Shift 50ml

I also have 3 GAs, some hand creams that I found are just too greasy, the Nivea one was especially awful! These are going to Give and Make Up, hopefully they can be used by someone else, my hands are not that dry and the Nivea one is for very dry skin so that might be the reason....

Nivea Q10 Plus Age Defying Hand Cream 100ml x 2
Ted Baker Hand Cream 125ml

TA from yesterday- Avon Shower Gel in a purple bottle. I'd turned it upside down as there was just a little bit left and it leaked on my bathroom shelf cos the lid wouldn't shut properly. It would have been a UU this morning anyway. Going thru my make up bag this morning and going to TA anything I haven't worn lately/looks old/lots its lid etc.

Off to Freeport in a few mins, the Body Shop outlet is calling my name;) I'll try to be good but I doubt it. They have such amazing discounts I'm sure to slip up but I've been very good lately and it will get used by the whole family. I'll be back later to report my naughtiness.

Morning all.

And - very sorry to hear about your friend.

Happytorty - congratulations - keep us updated.

Had a bath in my newly re-surfaced bath last night, it is now slippy again so we will have to be careful with the kids. I had a uu aswell

No7 Blissful body wash - WBA as I really love this fragrance and the creamy texture of this wash, I don't need to though as I have a couple in the stash.

Also have a NBI - a friend gave me a tube of Garnier BB cream, the new one for oily/combo skin. She used it once but it was too light so she has repurchased in medium. I tried the original version and it oxidised on the skin and went orange and also it was super greasy. This one is gorgeous, really light and easy to apply, stays the same colour after applying and was nice and matte but felt comfortable. I hope it doesn't cause any breakouts and then I will be very happy with it.
