    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.


    I use this to take off eye make up and I've never had a problem - does it cause you issues?


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    thank you everyone for the kind comments about Sage she has turned into a right little B....r, she is like a tornado around the place and has decided that 3am is a good time to wake sooty up and play on the bed for an hour, I do put her out of the bedroom for a while but she starts crying and running around making a lot of Noise and I live on the second floor so I have to let her in again so that the neighbours don't start complaining.


    has anyone seen the Elemis TSV I want it it has Frangipani body cream in it I love the shower cream so want to try the body cream but I don't want anything else in the pack.

    I'm a blue-eyed, redhead so yes, I am pretty fair!
    I am currently using a Bourjois CC cream in ivory which I love but it only has SPF 15 which is why I was tempted by the Garnier one with SPF 20. It's because it's on offer at the mo...

    Lilly, cute kitty.

    1 UU - Pixi Glow Tonic - WBA and already have.

    Feeling down today so I am relying on Kadison's love story to cheer me up. Have fun!

    Dolly 84 asked shame your perfume has gone off, did you have to wash it all off before you went out?



    It was already getting late in the evening by the time this happened. I got hold of a face cloth in the bathroom and quickly did my best to wash off any rank perfume off my skin around my neck. Of course this did not remove any that had sprayed onto my clothes.


    In the car on the way to the restaurant and during the meal I kept getting whiffs of that rotten fly spray smell. The place where we ate had an outside table next to the water. It was a lovely warm evening. We could see many mosquitos and other flying insects around, but strangely enough none of them came anywhere near and for once in my life I was not bitten!!!!! :eek:


    The rotten perfume had doubled as the most effective insect repellent I have ever used. :D


    My husband and I are now considering retrieving it out of the bin and taking it on holiday with us. Just a thought.

    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



    Instead of phoning him could you have a quite word with one of the guards and see if they'll put an announcement out for him to make his way to a certain platform and then when he gets there you'll be waiting there to surprise him?

    Chin up Clutterfree, have a mini pamper session and put some of your favourite music on. I hope you feel a bit brighter soon. jhy41y.gif

    hieveryone - I have used the Elemis balm over my eyes but I have removed my eye make up beforehand, I seem to remember it said not to use on eyes, I like the Liz Earle and Emma Hardie ones as an effective one stop shop. I don't have any problems with my eyes after using it or anything.

    Kiss Prudence - a result in the end then, I get bitten by everything going too.

    You might find this an interesting read about migraines

    http://www.allaboutvision.com/conditions/ocular-migraine.htm

    I get occular and normal but never had total vision loss though just flashing lights

    Thanks for posting that link, interesting reading, I spent most of the article thinking "Yes… yup… had that one too… ooh, that's a new symptom, wonder how long before I suffer with that as well… oh, that old chestnut" etc :D I'm generally a very fit and well sort (apart from mild IBS); I rarely take colds, catch viruses etc so I'm not used to being "ill", therefore my frequent migraines are the thorn in my side.

    UU #120: Carex Cola Bottle Handwash 250ml; WDNBA, the boys chose this and it honks. The only good thing I can say is that it's finished ;)

    I have now officially graduated in toothpaste and handwash :T In fact, I need to buy toothpaste today as the Superdrug stuff which we're using is bogging, it has a horrible bitter aftertaste :(
