    But then you could use up some surplus proper hand cream to counteract the drying! Double whammy of using up!


    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: You think like me Turtle!

    I think I'd offer them as a job lot on eBay and see what you could get Red.

    I'm a big fan of Garnier Purifying pads for spots - but they have eucalyptus in so they're a bit "zingy" on your skin.

    I sorted out my gel eyeliner lasty night and chucked all my years old ones from Smashbox and Bobbi Brown. They've both reformulated their eyeliner gels in the last two years and I know these were the old formulations so I thought I may as well get rid. I tucked them out of the way a couple of months ago to see if I would get them out to use or not - and guess what? I didn't so "Bub-bye!"

    My friend who's scared of Paypal :rolleyes: got me to buy two Go Cosmetics gel eyeliners for her off eBay at the weekend. They arrived yesterday so she came round to pick them up - and I was pretty impressed with them. and they were only about a £5 for both inc postage!

    (Don't bother with the GO Touche Eclat knock-off pen though - unless you actually like a glittery disco under eye area!:eek: A natural effect it was NOT!)

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    Jacks,

    So sorry, I didn't get home from work until 11pm and I am now back in the office (the joys of being a city worker!) so i haven't had time to check my make up cupboard for the touch eclat. I promise I will tonight though.

    No worries honey.

    Bless your heart I bet it's the last thing you want to do when you get home, and I don't want to add to your chores! :o

    I know when I was working long hours all I wanted to do when I got in was get the stuff I had to do out of the way and then veg until bed time!

    You're a total sweetie to think of me.

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    wow just think of all those chemicals that have been seeping into your body. Better off with out them. Yes all these products have been tested. And on there own there are fine.

    But put them together?? Mixing chemicals are never a good idea !!!

    Well done you, stop using them.

    They didn't work for me so I'd feel bad selling them on to some other poor sufferer - I know what it's like to keep on and on buying stuff that never works!

    No worries there - two decades of anti-acne treatments has left my skin impervious to just about all chemicals - even clinique no.4 clarifying lotion (i.e. strong enough to take off nail varnish) can't illicit a sensation!

    Right proiroteis sorted, Everything on ebay and have a few bids and quite a lot of watchers, good i think for 6 days still to go. Problem though I checked out ebay.com and found it to be so cheap I almost fell off my chair!!! So I ordered OPI Avoplex oil and an OPI black nail polish, not really ment to be buying anything, but I wanted to buy them before and I got both plus postage to the UK for £8.00!!!! It would have cost £23 here not including postage!! Will definatly be using it to reorder my make up etc when I run out!! x

    Debenhams shopping night was so fab!!
    I have really fallen off the wagon but YSL girl got so confused with all my vouchers she ended up only charing me £15 for Touche eclait and gave me a £5 cDebenhams voucher as well???
  • I love it when stuff like that happens! I'm getting near to using some eyeshadow up, only had it since...ooooh the Dark Ages....and SO excited...how sad am I?!?!

    Also took the huge step of asking mum not to get me anymore smellies/makeup for Xmas / my bday this week, since I have enough to sink a battleship...think I am finally getting the hang of this! :D

    I've just bought December's edition of Glamour (seduced by the free Kinder Bueno and clutch bag that came with it) and there are about 6 free samples stuck to the adverts in there :D Only £2 as well, bargain!
