    Do you have a recommendation for a good nude eyeliner to be used in the waterline?

    Charlotte tilbury eye cheat or benefit eye bright but that ones more of a light violet than nude, it does brighten eyes though and the colours not as scary on as it looks in the pencil! Both do need reapplying though, I've not found one that stays on all day yet.

    And - you are doing really well with your freebie trial products at the moment.

    Oh and not one single in yet for August:j.
    Thank you, rather than jinx me, that comment has had the opposite effect. :j:D
    I've just been offered Murad Age Reform Time Release Retinol Concentrate 15 ml
    I took it, of course.
    Always wanted to try Murad, which is WAY out of my price range. It's for use specifically on wrinkles.
    I've noticed that the lines around my mouth are more noticeable these days, the crows' feet aren't too bad, but anything that makes skin creases less visible is to be welcomed.

    VALM - I have the Rimmel scandaleyes nude eye pencil, it is very good but does disappear. I am using a Bare Minerals Round the Clock waterproof eye pencil at the moment, it is a plum colour but lasts amazingly well on the waterline so if they do a nude one that may be worth a look.

    Thanks. Emma has had the Eye Bright one before but it seemed to stark white for me. I had a Laura Geller nude one previously but it was scratchy on my lower lid.

    Following your recommendation re Hawaiian Tropic body butter I have picked up 2 tubs at Tesco as they were £5 and on 3for2. Also got a bottle of dry oil spray. It smells devine and I'm hoping I can make myself save them both for my hols.

    Thanks I've seen the Rimmel one on You Tube. Will have a look at the Bare Minerals one as well.

    2 TAs today:-

    sephora by OPI mini bottle of I Don't Bite. A metallic purple that I never really liked.

    Leighton Denny Supermodel. Bottle was low on product and had separated. Decided to chuck it as I have another two bottles of this.

    My nails look s mess with the Supermodel on so I'm going to repaint them with LE Signature colour and if I'm not sure about this put Snow Globetrotter on top. Have very little nail polish remover left so let's hope there's enough to get all the lacquer off!
