    I must say I'm very tempted by some of the new Models Own Speckled polishes KT2802. :) I haven't succumbed yet........ :D
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
  • Me too! I love the duck egg blue shade. Trying not to buy any nail polish at the moment though...

    hello everyone! was just wondering, I have some Elemis pcmc in the stash, but is it for morning or night? and how 'heavy' is it? xxx

    I use it at night as I have to use SPF day creams due to pigmentation 'issues' and not wanting to look like a leather bag when I'm 60 :rotfl:

    It's very light though and would be fine as a day cream, though I don't like to recommend any non-spf cream for during the day as I think UV filters are important, but it's down to personal preference, either way, start using it and you'll see a big difference :beer:

    It's not bad, certainly a good deal if you want to try out/use all the products in it but adding the products up, the total worth is £92 not £116 so factor that in x

    Yeah they are factoring in the cost of the case too! I may go for this I like the idea of trying the different bits in it and it's not a huge amount to shell out to do so! I REALLY have to have a no spend April though;)

    Can anyone recommend a good eye wrinkle cream? I'm only 20 but I have a habit of squinting a lot (nothing wrong with my eye prescription I get them checked regularly and have contacts and glasses to wear) and really want a cream to help combat the lines I'm starting to get! Also if it has like a cool soothing feeling when you put it on that's what I'd love :) not too fussed on price if it's higher end or drugstore but obviously the cheaper the better :P

    I love the Aldi Lacura eye creams, cute little pots with a pump. At your age, go for the green Aqua one, which does have a nice cooling sensation. Or the caffeine roll-on. Another thought is that anything is cooling if you keep it in the fridge.

    You could also try Olay's eye-gel which is definitely cooling but a lot pricier than the Aldi £3.49 one. Still cheaper than high-end though. Both 15ml. The gel lasts ages as it's in a little jar that you can control the dispense rate of, rather than a pump.

    I have a TA I hate to throw things but this had to go!

    Avon clear skin immediate response blemish remover face wash.. Was awful caused my skin to feel very hot then made my skin feel so tight it gave me a headache! So straight in the bin it goes! I have a few fact washes to replace it so onto the next one!

    Also just wondering if anyone can recommend a good under eye cream/thing to help with dark circles? I'm only 22 but get terribly dark circles, I don't sleep we'll (haven't since a child!) so could use some help! Does anyone have any ideas?
