    We are off out tonight to see an Oasis tribute band and away to the rugby tomorrow so I need to get my hair shipshape before DH gets home.

    Have a lovely weekend! xx

    How was the gig? We're the called "Faux-Asis"? LOL?

    I need to colour my hair today. It's very overdue.

    Have caught up now. No UUs to report. Have bought cotton wool as predicted.

    Just wanted to give you all the heads up on another feel unique Groupon voucher again. Same as last time : spend £15 and get voucher worth £25. I've bought one to get my Elemis cleanser. Probably still have a couple of weeks worth of product in mine. I was going to wait until next month to buy but getting it for £15 is a bargain.

    Am going to put one of my new OPI Lacquers on the fab page I belong to for beauty sales and swaps : lost my bikini in molokini. Colour is just nit me.

    Hi all.

    I am reporting a uu in advance, it will be finished later today:

    Lush Mask of Magnaminty - I bought the smaller size pot of this which I am glad about as the big one would last too long just using it on my face. This stuff smells gorgeous and leaves my skin soft due to it being a scrub when you rinse it off, it doesn't dry on the skin so it is easy to rinse away. WMBA.

    Still no more ins or money spent on beauty products apart from the Nails Inc - YAY.

    sorry been awol as RL just getting in the way :o
    I have a UU (almost) an Aldi eye cream, but I can feel there's still a lot left in the bottle but the pump isn't working and I can't get it unscrewed. Reluctant to throw it away but can't work out how to open it without injuring myself :eek: any ideas?
    I bought it on special offer and I think IWBA, still have another one to use first though :p
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

    Just a small GA as I have taken a bit of a reaction to Clarins Flash Beauty Balm. Very well received by the recipent. I am having a make up free weekend to try and reduce the reaction on my cheek. The small bumps must go.

    Uus to report:

    Sleek BB cream: WBA. I've received so many compliments since I started wearing this and it is a HG as it's really difficult to find foundation/bb creams for dark ebony skin. Only let down is that it contains mineral oil.

    Beauty Protector Protect & detangle leave in conditioner: Part of beauty box, WNB as I'm not sure whether it did anything for my hair.

    African Pride Braid sheen protector

    INS:

    Beautiful textures Tangle taming leave in conditioner.
    African Pride Braid sheen spray
    Sure Shower fresh antiperspirant spray
    6 x beauty uk nail polishes received as a gift Might re-gift it as I have so many polishes so won't be able to appreciate them properly.

    I have another uu to report

    L'occitane Shea Verbena Shower Gel 75ml - I had high hopes for this but it was just a pleasant shower gel. WNBA unless it was on an amazing offer.
