How on earth do you manage to leave naturally curly hair unconditioned?! :eek: I have to smother mine in tonnes of 'dish every day just to fight the frizz monster, I'm seriously envious!

Ladies, I have disgraced myself I saw a freebie offer in the Grabbit board re: MakeUpRevolution and I bought so much makeup, I am actually ashamed. I *only* spent £32 but there are 11 (yes, ELEVEN) eyeshadow palettes in amongst various other bits. I swatched a bit when I opened the parcel and it seems very hit and miss. Yet again, the "I've seen a bargain and I can't let it get away!" monster has bitten me on the 'arris. I don't count eyeshadows in my stash (thank the Lord :rotfl:) but I'm making an executive decision not to declare any of it as INs; if and when I finish any of the products I'll let you know but they obviously won't count as OUTs either.

I am so peeved with myself. Silly girl :mad:

I'm naturally curly and have to use loads of conditioner just to get a comb through my hair too.

The same monster regularly bites me too, I don't go near the grabbit board anymore.

Welcome back roguey - hope you are feeling better today.

VALM - maybe you should tell Emma if she uses up one whole palette by Christmas you will get her the UD one.

I have a couple of uu's

Garnier 2 in 1 Eye Roll On 15ml - this stuff is HG for me so obviously Garnier have stopped making it. I have replaced it with another I bought when I realised I wouldn't be able to get it again although I have since seen it in Wilkinsons but it must be old stock. It lasts forever as you only need a dab and it is very thin, in the past I have heard of it being likened to Touche Eclat.

Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliant 75ml - I have been using this regularly for 2 years. WNBA as I prefer a traditional face scrub plus it is £40 ish.

Does anyone keep getting a timed out message when they post?

Been getting an evil message when trying to load pages / post messages since Monday. I'm sure they're trying to [strike]shove me[/strike] persuade me to move over to the new format, but they're not succeeding

I find conditioner makes the curl too heavy and so doesn't curl as much. I only brush it before I was it (about every 5-6 days) and use Tony & Guy Sea Salt Spray to fight the frizz.
Seems to work for my hair anyway!

Was that the offer get 20%. Spend £25.00 and get a kit that contained amongst other things two palettes. Emma wanted me to get that and I said "No". Maybe that's the way forward for me, hope that Emma asks so I can justify saying no as she has very bad eyeshadow fetish. She was waving a picture of the new UD palette under my nose last night.

I TA another mini lacquer last night. Was OPI Metallic 4 Life - one of the Nicki Minaj collection. I remember that I was given these as a leaving gift when I left my last job which was about 3½ years ago. It was so gloopy that I'm amazed that I managed to get a coat onto each nail. Am wearing Avon Gunmetal with M4L on top on most of my nails but have Gunmetal with OPI My Signature DC on my ring fingers. Look OK. The M4L has started to chip already though.

Use seche restore into gloopy polishes to bring them back to life. I love this stuff

UU
Herbal Essences Hydrating Conditioner for Dry Hair Sample size - I er ... didn't use this on my hair, I used it to shave my legs My hair is on the greasy side so didn't want to use a hydrating conditioner, so WNBA

I was naughty yesterday and bought my very first beauty box - The Heart box from Latest in Beauty :D I like that it's subscription-free and you can see what you're getting. There were a lot of products in there that I fancy trying.

Thanks for the recommendation. I do have the OPI nail lacquer thinner but this mini bottle was past saving.
