    Another OUT -

    BS Blusher - thought this was a good colour at the time, but recently thought it went on a little strong and looked a bit like face paint. Have got some Bourjois to be getting on with now.
  • Hugs to all those who need them x

    UU

    sachet Elemis foot balm - hard to tell if it was any good from one sachet. It was nice enough but did smell a bit medicinal - probably WNBA but would happily use if given.

    Elemis trienzyme resurfacing mask - WBA.

    Had my first in of the month -free Clarins serum! Think it's for the best that I've not bought anything this month as I've bought a ridiculous amount of new clothes (and two bags!!)! I might have to find a no more buying clothes forum too!

    Hope you get a positive outcome from the meeting today asset. Very unpleasant to have to go through something like that.

    Lovely words Tigerlilly7 and I hope the situation you are in is resolved quickly too.

    One UU today - Sure Crystal Roll on deo which has now been replaced by an IN of the same.

    Also picked up this Garnier eye roll on with caffeine. Hoping this might help my dark circles. Got it out of Home Barg@ins for under £3.

  • Thank you for all your lovely messages. Honestly, how nice is it to have anti-trolls online? A forum of great people who all care.

    Asset, I hope today went ok for you. My situ is dragging out, but tomorrow will really be the last day to know either way. Horrible, horrible experience. I really want to turn the page and move on.
    Asset, I'm sending you good vibes, let me know if / when they arrive.

    Would anyone be kind enough to bring me up to speed with the lingo here? What does UU mean etc?

    And I like the idea of an Excel sheet. I have an enormous drawer full of bottles (to be fair, it's very organised!), which could house my winter jumpers instead. I'm ready to listen to all suggestions!

    Hi Fiasco,

    Thanks for your lovely message.

    Quick tip, under eye circles can be a result of three things:

    1. Lack of sleep (classic)
    2. Thin under eye skin
    3. Food allergies!

    For thin under eye skin, try patting pure vitamin E oil under your eyes at night (rub some gently into your eyelashes too - it makes them strong) and see if that helps.

    Also, google "allergy shiners," sometimes wheat / dairy can trigger under eye circles.

    You may be able to tell, I suffer from under eye circles.

    Ps. Drink plenty of water too, this plumps skin but also gets rid of any allergy residue build up (not a scientific expression).

    UU is use up - I think there's a dictionary on the front page of the forum if you need it (can't remember). Hope everything goes smoothly today and tomorrow, it doesn't sound nice at all!

    My mum has been through that a few times actually, unfortunately is seemed to be common in the line of work she was into. It's never nice, but usually the HR discussions help significantly so I have my fingers crossed for you all! At the end of the day, toxic people stand in the way of their own progress.

    I gave myself a challenge 2 years ago of decluttering one item a day, I'm still going! :rotfl:It does make me think and pause before buying anything though.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
