    TA- umberto giannini overnight beauty moisture balm- WNBA (although I don't remember ever buying it in the first place). Made my hair feel matted and lank. Still doesn't feel right this morning. In the bin.

    I have plenty of other foundations to UU before repurchasing any more, I think I have 9 full size and a few samples stashed :eek:

    :o

    IN #40: Vichy Dermablend Corrective Foundation in 15 Opal, 30ml; popped into the big Boots on the retail park and they had samples for all shades, looks like a decent match and it was 25% off so £11.62. I'll feedback to you in due course, KT, just waiting for the inevitable hormonal breakout to rear its ugly head(s).

    ETA: as if by magic, a big spot has appeared at the corner of my mouth over the course of cricket. Looks like my review could be forthcoming sooner rather than later :(

    And the reason I went into Boots in the first place…

    IN #41 and UU #78: Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner; the last one didn't last as long as usual, mainly because I put it through the WM in the pocket of my dressing gown and half the liner ended up in the lid thanks to the spin cycle :o Love this and great value for under £3.

    100ml Cyclax Gentle Eye makeup remover. WBA if I came across it anywhere.

    Bodycare sell Cyclax stuff, don't know if they have the gentle eye make up remover though. Worth a look if you are passing.
    HTH:)

    My In's for this week are...

    goodie bag from I love... (Free)
    coconut and cream hand cream
    mango & papaya lip gloss
    mint choc chop lip balm
    mango & papaya bubble bath

    Stargazer (Free)
    4x lipsticks
    1 nail polish
    2 eye dusts

    1 casting creme hair dye (Free)

    Nivea roll on - pearl (Free)

    Since I've not bought anything i'm not feeling too guilty, in fact I've saved £40 for my wedding fund and bought 2 plant pots all of May thus far so feeling pretty chuffed.
    UU's

    Tresemme keratin conditioner - WNBA, really dislike this stuff, it did nothing for me

    Thickening conditioner sample, WNBA, i have super thick hair so don't need this

    I've had an allergic reaction to a mac primer i've been using and have had dry, cracked skin for 4 days, it's got worse and worse and now i have a white face covered in aqueous calamine cream so i've not used anything else :(

    I would take the primer back - you should get to swap for other products or gift card. I have done this before and staff have been very kind

    1 teeny UU 5ml Guinot Creme Extra Protection, WBA great on delicate or sensitive skin, can use it without it stinging when I have an allergy type breakout (as now:()

    I spent some time this morning sorting out all my sample and gwp sized pots of skincare, it seems that apart from serum, I have enough of everything for the rest of this year (so that means I cannot have the Gatineau TSV right?)

    Next Black noir perfume (in my defence it's to keep in my handbag as I don't like carrying pricey purfume in my bag)

    So May in numbers thus far

    You poor thing, definatley go and see them. I'm sure they'll take it back and if you're concerned, a little telephone call first to check.

    I've had to do this before and most brands are really helpful about it (apart from Avon who were horrid and rude and grrr).
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
