    Happy Thanksgiving! The turkey has been cooked and eaten. Pumpkin pie is loved by the kids and hubby, I just don't get it.

    Happy Thanksgiving. Sounds like a wonderful holiday. We are planning a trip over to Orlando again next October/November and I love love love all the pumpkin scented/flavoured things you can get. Love visiting Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and Barnies to try all the pumpkin coffee/goodies. Shame you can't put some pie in the post for me!! lol

    UU - Elemis Pro-radiance Flash Balm 15ml This has shown me the hidden MSE value of GWPs as this saved me a fortune, cos now I know I never need to buy this product. I quite liked the powerful smell, but would be more fitting if it were a mens aftershave balm rather than a cream for my face.

    The tube lasted ages and ages as I used it so sparingly due to the heavy / sticky texture and still it sat like an oil-slick on top of my skin all day. Glad to be shot of it!
    Pleased I'm not the only one to think this about the scent and consistency - mine is almost UU'd and this is one Elemis product I won't be sorry to see the back of!

    Am glad I've seen your reviews ladies although I don't think I would have tried this anyway. Did it replace the Visible Brilliance cream? That was a complete waste of money for me as I invested in a full bottle and it did absolutely nothing.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Canada does Thanksgiving in October, Americans at the end of November.

    I just treat the meal as a dress rehearsal for Christmas Dinner/lunch.

    Nutmeg and cinnamon will help you get the scents you love.

    Received my two Dior lipsticks today and the Diorific one, while gorgeous colour and packaging, stinks! I've looked online and it seems to be the norm with this one, someone said it has a 'distinct French fragrance to it', I thought "Oh, that's why it reeks the same as Bourjois then!".

    Why put a scent in a flamin' lipstick?! :eek: *Urgh*

    Sorry but it would be perfect otherwise, I had to chuck a L'Oreal lipstick once because it had much the same 'scent' :(

    Rant over. Otherwise very very impressed with both :D
