Salon shampoos and conditioner, only 2.99 each in Body Care. Leaves my hair really shiny and fresh, good for regular washing, I only condition once a week or it is too soft, smells gorgeous.

[Kizzy]

[Josy]

I wouldn't recommend that Gosh CC cream I posted above, I didn't like the feeling of it on my face and it made me look a bit ill/washed out.

[Novo]

the Kabuki Brush looks a bit kinky

[Josy]

I was walking past a little perfume shop and noticed they had cosmetic lucky dips in the window for £5 but you couldn't see what was inside so I bought one and it was crap :laugh:

It had..

Virgin Vie Perfectly Polished Nail Polish in bright yellow
Bright Pink Eye Pigment (no labels so don't even know the make)
Collection 2000 Lipstick in a yucky dull gold colour
A hair net thing

So yeah it was crap.

It is a sweet fruity smell, not as strong as you would expect, the perfume is marketed to younger people.

What's the little free one?
I got a pot of nivea everyday primer (can't post pics sorry)
It's good but you have to wait till it 'dries' to apply make up or it rubs off.

Not for all the ones I have tried Annie so far, it's terrible with glittery stuff but still does a good job and theres no messing around with cotton balls/pads.

..oh, I don't know if it counts because they're gift sets/Christmas..but I got these today for a few of my work colleagues...3 for 2....

Thanks Josy :love: I'm really into magnetic polish at the moment but it's a nightmare to take off..I'll give it a go.

..does it strengthen your nails, Annie..?..

[AnnieK]

A little I guess, but I love it because it looks so pretty. Nail art without the hassle. I have to keep my nails polished these days after taking acrylic nails off after over 10 years of having them, my nail flake and break easily so any polish seems to help a little....but I only have limited time and patience so these polishes are great for me.

..oh, I've just googled it, I hadn't heard of it before...it comes out that way by itself..?..how clever...I've only had acrylic nails once because someone gave me a voucher as a birthday gift once but yeah, it was a nightmare to get them off..my nails weren't quite the same for around two months afterwards...I'm not really one much for fingernails anyway..(I'm more of a toenail person lol..)...I don't have any problems growing them but in general they irritate me and I keep snapping them off....there's nothing worse than constantly scratching yourself and drawing blood...it's one of the worst feelings ever...

[AnnieK]

You paint it on then hold a magnet over the top for the pattern....I have to have matching fingers and toes but because I interview a lot of people and have to point things out in contracts etc...I feel a bit weird if my nails are all broken and nasty so I keep them painted. I loved my acrylic nails but when Matthew came along the expense and time to get them done were low on my priorities....

..yeah, I can understand that you have to/want to have nice nails in your job...Annie, if you want less time and easy taking off, have you tries nail foils..?...there are so many patterns/colours etc and they really are so easy and so removable...the 'mirrored' ones are fabulous as well because you could never get that effect from a polish...

[Ammi]

I haven't tried them....do they last though?


..I've only ever used them on my toes and I know that fingers get much more use lol, so maybe don't last so long...but with my toes they have never chipped or anything and I've had to remove them myself just because my nails have grown so much..and that's also when I've been on holiday/in the sea/pool etc...I use the Minx ones only because they were the only ones to do them at one time but they are quite expensive...I know a friend of mine uses much cheaper ones and they're just as good/long lasting....

..the silver mirrored ones look amazing...

[AnnieK]

Ooohhhh...I'm going to get some today. I've just had a quick look and you can get Christmas ones :amazed: I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks for the tip :love:

i had a good splurge at body shop a few weeks ago got a couple of shower gels and another body lotion when the other ones i have run out

[Josy]

I was in Discount UK & B&M yesterday looking for a basin and picked up a couple of things from each, A nice little manicure set with a case from discount UK and also a massive pack of nail files and then just before I reached the checkout they had nail polish on a display and I picked up a blue denim effect one, haven't tried it yet.

B&M had a nice goldish nail polish for £1.50 so I took that and some nail polish remover from there.

[Josy]

Annie have you heard of or tried the ModelsOwn Hyper Gel nail polish?

http://www.modelsownit.com/products/nails/hypergel-collection.html

I'm wondering whether to try them or not.

[Ammi]

...is gel nail polish anything like acrylics in that it makes your nails weak/brittle..?...I've been using foils on my toes for a while now and they give a great finish and look lovely, especially the mirrored effect ones...

It all depends on how it's removed I think Ammi but yeah they can end up in a bit of a mess due to the harshness of the removal process, that may differ depending on removes them though.

..I only tried acrylics once for a special occasion and then I bought a soak thing to remove them because I prefer to do stuff myself and I had to soak them for around 4 hours and still had problems getting them off...my nails were awful for around 2/3 months after that, so that completely put me off...

[Ammi]

..also the fact that I couldn't pick anything up or do anything when I had them...

I've gotta find a new foundation due to finding out that MAC tests on animals :( i'm gutted

[Dominic]

NOT Mac

[Dollface]

:worry:

[Dominic]

There are tons of cheap good ones, I personally don't wanna buy something like MAC bc you pay so much just because it says MAC on the packaging

[Dollface]

I switch between Estee Lauder Double Wear and MAC Studio Fix but both test on animals so i'm going to have to find something else that's as good but cruelty-free.

[Dollface]

I've tried some cheap ones but they come out crap on my skin

[Dominic]

I can't find if mine is tested on animals or not welp

[Dominic]

I think there are only six shades so idk :ohno: The foundation is very good for me tho.

For covering up spots etc I use the bourjois foundation that has like fruit extract in it

Oh I love the look of it! Vanille looks light enough for my skin. Will have to give it a try thanks :love: Is it deffo not tested on animals?

[Dominic]

It says in the FAQ that its not tested on animals and I also found it in a list of brands that dont test on animals

[Dollface]

It says in the FAQ that its not tested on animals and I also found it in a list of brands that dont test on animals

Damn I just read that it sells in China. MAC/Estee Lauder don't directly test on animals either but because they sell in China, they're basically condoning their products be tested on animals because it's law in Mainland China that any imported cosmetic product be tested on animals first.
