    Latest NBI, my luck ran out with this one, really not impressed.
    I'm not sure how you get this to look natural and stay on. Glad I didn't buy it.

    Rimmel Brow Shake Filling Powder, Dark Brown.

    Finally a UU to report!
    UU: Decleor body oil - WDBA, loved this, smelt so lovely, did the job and although expensive lasted really really well.

    I've been doing the same re crushing the little bits round the edges, should have an eye shadow UU tomorrow.

    Yay. Don't mind crushing but don't think I could be bothered re-presssing like I see YouTubers do. Which one will you have UU?

  • thanks for the kind words about the missing make up bag. I felt like an idiot ringing places as most people dont view make up like we do here. I keep a lot of memories with the items. I travel so much and see so many different ranges some of it will not be easily replaced.

    I know there was some lancome, estee lauder and mac concealer, blushers and a new bottle of serum from caudalie that cost a fortune. The wetnwild stuff is harder to replace and some elf brands. It is the feeling of not seeing the reminders of places and people i associate with the times i purchased items that grieves me sore.

    So i replaced a concealer and eyeliner. I hope it does turn up but i have learned a massive lesson and going to down size on cosmetics and stuff in general as it only seems to hurt my shoulder.

    Savingfortomorrow that's not a nice surprise!

    I went to Boots today and buy my HG Clarins toner for combination skin and make-up fixing spray. Current bottles will be UU soon. Got £10 worth of points too.

    Also in TK Max, they had a stock delivery recently and had lots of high end make up. I treated myself an Illamasqua powder blush.. Color name is Thrust. For £7, it was too good to miss :o I don't have any blush similar to this colour either. Also found&purchased No Concealer Concealer from Perricone MD.

    Thanks asajj I've signed up :o
  • Hi ladies,

    Thanks so much for the link to the Elemis panel thingy, just signed up! I love that brand! Fingers crossed some of us ladies get on, when asked about skin concerns or results wanted I was like 'can I just put EVERYTHING' I think I have high expectations!

    Speaking of skin is starting to settle down again. Thank god. Still have a few angry ones to go down completely. Still feeling stressed at work. Need time off very badly but can't take any until June due to staffing shortages.

    I have a UU:
    Lush soak and float shampoo - WMBA although not sure if it made my scalp itch a bit. Hair feels good for it though. Replacing with another lush bar for now and then plan to buy shampoo that matches new conditioner at some point as conditioner is amazing.

    I'm so sad for the makeup bag loss. Any loss of stuff can really unsettle you. Happened to my friend and she was so annoyed she had to buy all new (her stash was smaller than say us, I think she lost it all!!).

    Payday yesterday so plan to have a few ins at weekend. Stash is under control so any ins likely to be needed replacements or the only other back up in stash. I have one shower gel and want another one'!
