    Oh you'll have to let me know how it compares. I've been using the collection one but the crappy packaging makes me despair! I swear I'm losing the majority of the product on to tissues, around my make up bag.

    Yeah I will let you know, have been too lazy the past few days to bother with concealer. I have looked a mess :eek: The collection one annoys me that all the writing rubs off onto your hands when you hold it!!!

    honey - oh your poor son. I hope the MRI went ok today and that he is feeling better.

    LOVE your cat lilly he is gorgeous!!

    Exciting kadison - not long to go now :)

    Hope you're safe away from the fires wondercollie

    Welcome to any newbies - kiss prudence I have really been enjoying your posts :)

    Oooh! Thanks for linking to the vid. I didn't even realise I could use the shadows wet or dry! I'm looking forward to using them in the 'proper' way...

    It must be down to 2 days until you see Jon now? :)


    I have a small UU to declare

    TempleSpa Skin Truffle Total Facial Rejuvination (S 15ml) - WNBA as it was too rich for my face and is v v expensive (this came in a beauty box). Used up on my neck like most of my rejects :rotfl:

    OK so some use ups to report at last! :D

    Firstly Dead Sea Source De-stress Ginger Body Souffle 50ml from my previous Project Pan list. I bought this for 50p from a charity shop and I liked it a lot. It smelt comforting and nice and had a lovely light consistency. I'm not sure I would buy it full price though as unfortunately the ginger scent wasn't strong enough for my liking.

    L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Light Shine Shampoo 250ml - this is the shampoo I probably reach for most often. I like the smell of it and it's not too heavy but my hair still gets greasy quickly after using it so it's certainly not my holy grail. I have another one in the stash.

    L'Oreal Men Expert 48h Anti-Perspirant Deodorant 150ml - purchased for my OH very cheaply using a voucher but he didn't want to use it so I had to. It was nothing special and didn't stop me sweating and I wouldn't buy it again particularly as it's for men and last time I checked I was female! :rotfl:

    Lastly Sure Women Crystal Clear Aqua 24h Anti-Perspirant 150ml - not much use, didn't stop me sweating and I wouldn't buy it again. I prefer roll ons.

    Night all.

    Hello everyone! :wave:


    Finally, some non-dental UUs!


    S&G Clean Mary: according to you lot I can't buy this again, even if I wanted to! It did the job, smelled nice but unusual (like most other cleaners but with a slightly woody undertone) and I like the fact that it came in a pump as it meant that it lasted longer. What's not to love?


    Lady Gaga, The Fame (30ml): bought this as part of a set in the Boots new year sale. It's nice. It smells absolutely identical to some other perfume I've owned before minus one ingredient and it has annoyed me no end that I can't figure out which one! WMBA if the price was right.


    Right, that's yer lot. Hugs to those who need them (although this month seems to be a little better for us all!) and slaps to the back of the head for those on the naughty step! ;)

    I must apologise to everyone for my tunnel-vision at the moment, I literally can't think of much else at all!

    I am flight-tracking again but only the end bit as he left the US at 3am our time so I was fast asleep! Apparently he flew right over me on the way there so I'm tracking it to hopefully hear when his plane flies over again.....so I can wave :rotfl:

    Hi all.

    Willowbee - Oh dear, me and DD have been in hysterics, we don't have a dead hedgehog in our car, we walk to school and it is in a hedge on the way there:rotfl:.

    I haven't tried much else in the Lancome set yet but I can never resist opening an eyeshadow palette straightaway.

    Lilly - your kitten is very sweet. I really miss having a cat but am being very sensible and not getting one even though we all want to have one.

    Kadison - I am having visions of you running down the platform in a lovely suit, with your hair in victory rolls straight into the arms of your lovely chap as the steam clears away.

    I have a uu

    Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm 20g - I liked this apart from not being able to use it to remove eye make up and for that reason I WNBA, I have another one which I have opened to replace it for now though.

    Kiss Prudence - shame your perfume has gone off, did you have to wash it all off before you went out?

    Clutterfree - you must be quite a bit fairer than me, what a shame it didn't suit you as it is a lovely product and such a good price, hope the other one is better then if you decide to go for it.

    Ooh, just watched that, her makeup looks lovely. I think it must be the highlighter but I have just found it a bit of a sandy, weird, glittery texture rather than the smooth lovely effect she got on the video. The glitter particles seem quite big rather than an overall shimmer iyswim. Thanks for the link though, I might try that palette again today.

    You keep thinking that, it's better than the reality of what I'll look like and what will happen :o

    I had an idea of looking out for him and surprising him on the platform but it's not really feasible, the platforms at Reading go on forever so I'm just going to ring him once I'm there and tell him to get up onto platform whatever sharpish! :D

    Just a little UU to report: Estee Lauder Age Reversing Wrinkle Cream 15ml although I don't suppose any actual wrinkles were reversed, I absolutely loved this cream - so lovely and light it disappeared without a trace. This one was a GWP and if I didn't already have a gallon of other creams to use I would definitely be buying some.
