glad to know I'm not the only who succumbed to the loccitane sale Kadison... and this is bit enabley but if there's something that someone NEEDED then I'm not doing anything wrong right? There's a code for £10 off a £25 spend at feelunique - WAHANDA10

I have ordered some shampoo (I dont count shampoo as I constantly need to buy it) and the Naked basics palette which I did not need but have wanted for months so..yeah still pretty bad!

Also 2 Outs
Katy perry perfume 2ml - was ok?
Strawberry bath foam from wilkos 500ml - wnba as dont like the smell of strawberries

Which Katy Perry was it? I have Purr and Meow.

TBH of the two L'O orders, one was mostly a present set for a friend of mine who loves Cherry Blossom......(it's £39 now but it was £26 or £28 during the flash sale)

killer queen? oh you're much better than me, I ordered all for me! That's a lovely set though, I bet she'll be v chuffed! I ordered 2 of the ultra comforting cream and 2 of the bonne mere creams, and got 2 goodie bags. Initially I was going to order 1 of each of the creams, but then I got enticed with 'freebies' and needed to up the spend to get to the threshold and this is probably why I have a stash as big as it! xxx

Thanks Kadison, that guide is really interesting. I use the 'right' amounts for my face, but I see that I am using too much shampoo and conditioner. As for my body, I'm 5'9'' and size 16-18 so no way is a 'grape' enough!

Am@zon came up with various goodies for me to try for this evening - I missed the ghds which was probably just as well, but I did get some Scholl overnight foot moisturiser.

I'll use this during the day as my legs get more exercise during the night than they do in the day, some nights.
Often I just can't get my joints comfy, (hip/knee), so there's a lot of moving around, bed socks come off and so would any cream, all over the sheets.

It will work out much cheaper once I factor in all the freebies.

I got my stuff in the second order, mostly shower gel as I can justify that, I go through it very quickly.

Hola Beauty Queens :wave:

UU #67: Garnier Nutrisse Ultra Color 2.0 - Intense Black; intense black you say?! Why, that's odd because my freshly-dyed roots are very obviously dark brown :mad: This was on sale for £2.6something in Bodycare and now I know for why. Think they have changed the formula since but I won't be repurchasing to see if it's any better now. I usually use the Nice n' Easy semis which stick really well on my hair but as this one was permanent I'll need to wait an absolute minimum of 4 weeks before I can recolour, otherwise I'll fry my delicate hair, tbh it already feels a bit rough

Anyway, we were out at a gig last night and I took AGES applying my makeup and I actually felt pretty for the first time in a long time Base was ELDW and the matching concealer, I used a velour puff to apply powder on top which is a technique I'd forgotten about and it made a HUGE difference, my pores just disappeared. I got a bit carried away with my contour (MAC blush is Harmony) but with lots of blending it actually turned out great and I used L'Oreal Infallible shadows to do a bold black, silver and grey smoky eye -- this stuff is amazing, it does not budge.

Had heaps of fun but by the time we got home my head was migrained to the max and I felt so sick I fell into bed with my makeup still on :eek: but I've just looked in the mirror and it's all still there! Mascara has bled slightly but that's just enhanced the smokiness and the foundation has rubbed off my nose slightly but that aside, I could probably wear it today. I won't, but I could Let's hear it for long wearing makeup :T

Styling cream = one or two pumpkin seeds

!!!

I'm closer to one or two pumpkins :rotfl: and I STILL need to add more to get halfway acceptable second-day-hair. I agree about the sunscreen too, I would fry with that amount and I'm only a size 10 But I guess it serves to make us think about how much product you're using rather than getting squirt-happy in the shower?!

sounds like you had a good night fizz, hope you migraine has cleared this morning.
went into town with DD2 and her little family yesterday nipped in lush but was really good didnt buy a thing, i only went in with her so she could swap the empty pots i'd given her for a free tab of face mask.

have had a couple of UUs but ive just edited my list on page 1 as they weren't very exciting

1 IN, Weleda calendula baby oil. Going to use this for oil cleansing.

I also got the urban decay naked basics and the Stila stay all day liquid eyeliner pen thing. I don't count make up in my stash (mwah hah haaaah) but I anted to tell you guys about these. I used them both today, and I am loving the eyeshadows, and the eyeliner is seriously the best I've tried. I think no more wasting money on cheap liquid eyeliners that are rubbish.

That guide is interesting but not sure I'd take it as gospel. My dry skin takes about a packet of raisins for moisturiser rather than just two. And I definitely use more than a grape per body part for sunscreen (very pale skin). Interesting though!

My stash has now dipped below the 200 mark for the first time ever. Proof the system works! :j

Hope your migraine has cleared up FizzWhizz! I was also out last night and fell into bed with makeup still on (I'm blaming the alcohol). Mine didn't hold as well as yours though!
