  • I jinxed myself by posting about migraines. My last bad one was xmas day when i didn't even open xmas presents. So today i had to go home from work at lunch as head was killing and room was spinning. First time I've had time off sick from work in over a year. Had to lie in a dark room for a few hours. Feeling well enough to pop online tho tonight so already much better yay

    Still no chubby sticks here :(

    I gave used up yet another original source coconut shower gel. Love it. On to a nivea fruity one now and its quite drying. Will not buy again.

    I hope your migraine has gone now Dazedandconfused.

    I've still been looking out for the chubby sticks for those who want them but no luck so far. I'm glad I decided to buy mine as soon as I spotted them rather than dithering over them for a while like I usually do!
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    dazedandconfused - hope your head is better, I've suffered with migraines since I was 5 and they were particularly regular and bad until my late teens. I can function almost as normal with an excrutiating headache as I am used to them but sometimes they just get me like yours did.

    willowbee - I have the Korres Cedar shower gel in the stash too. I agree the mint tea milk doesn't smell of mint tea but I still love it, in honesty it isn't a milk either, definitely a cream.

    KT2802 - I haven't heard of that palette thankfully, I am currently coveting the Too Faced Chocolate one, I really love Too Faced eyeshadows. I might get it as a treat for not buying hardly anything this year but then again I have so many lovely neutrals already.

    This! 90% of the time I just pop pills and get on with life (albeit with a grouchy face) but sometimes it's like I've been hit over the head with a cricket bat and I know I just need to go to bed and try and sleep it off. Hope your head is all better now Dazedandconfused xx

    I have UU one of the EL sample sachets.

    UU #122: Estee Lauder DayWear Sheer Tint Moisturiser; remember when I said DS2 had called me a sucker?! He was right :rotfl: I LOVED this. I got three full face and neck applications from the 1.5ml, it looks greyish but turned my face a lovely bronzed shade when rubbed in. I have been very good at applying my SPF to my face and neck this summer :A but I've picked up a little bit of colour across my chest and shoulders through incidental sun exposure (school run etc) so my face is looking rather pale in comparison. This moisturiser "matched" perfectly and offered a little bit of coverage, enough that I could get away with a medium coverage foundation on top :) I suspect for those of you with good skin, it might be enough without any foundation.

    Anyway! I can't afford it, I haven't even looked to see how much it is but I still know I can't afford it :( but maybe if I have any birthday cash I could treat myself next week.

    Still persevering with the HCC - Elemis resurfacing wash - EL ANR - EL moisturiser and eye cream nighttime routine and my skin is looking better than it has in years :D
  • Hi All


    Been MIA for a few days.


    Have a couple of UUs to declare; another Lush bath bomb, no idea which one this was as it was a bit battered!! Getting through them now though, much prefer the bubble bars as I like a foamy bath! Also used up a S&G Good Hair day conditioner, will probably replace with one from the stash although tempted to try my Creighton's Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner as have heard good things about them.


    I have had to cut open my tube of Superdrug HCC so that only has a limited life span but loads more in stash. Can't believe I used to just throw things away when they spluttered thinking they were used up, its quite horrifying when you cut them open and realise how much is left inside!


    Hugs to all that need them and Kadiston - where are you ;) x

    Hi all,

    I have UUs:

    14/159. Percy & Reed Finishing Polish 100ml - this was a magazine freebie but WDBA - only needed a teeny bit so this has lasted me for the best part of a year, it controlled flyaways without weighing down my long fine hair once I got the application right. Love it.

    15/160. Mark Hill Sexy Stright Re-Hydrating Shine Conditioner 75ml - WMBA, this was a sale bargain and didn't wow me but did the job and smelled nice. So whilst I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it, I would happily use again.
