Now I am starting to get really exhausted, but I need to try to stay awake for a few more hours so I don't end up turning my sleep patterns completely upside down. After the exam I went and bought Suave Intentions e/s as a little reward for myself. Oh and the stupid snow from yesterday is melting away nicely today

i hope the exam has gone well for you hun!

Hello bimbos! im back!

hope everyone is well, been so busy since before christmas!

went to lady gaga last week (amazing, totally recommend, she is an amazing live singer!), and hauled at the only pro store in our country.

Susanne, i see you are getting into lush - totally recommend ocean salt scrub, and the skins shangri la face cream (i use this at night and it is heaven!)

am glad to be back!

 

[Susanne]

^^^^

Now spring is here and I will start going by bike to school again

 

[LMD84]

welcome back Sally!

i'm pleased you enjoyed gaga! i'd love to see her concert one day!

and i also reccomend ocean salt! it looks like it'd hurt but it doesn't. and even nick likes to exfoliate with that!

 

[Holy Rapture]

Sally! So glad to finally see you here

 

[Holy Rapture]

Sally, Lou, what is the scrub exactly for?

it's an facial exfolator but i have also used a little on my legs and arms before

it has huge chunks of salt in it and smells kinda like vodka!

 

[Susanne]

I will try Ocean Salt if I use up my VAE!

I used to buy lots of shower gels, body lotion, exfoliators,.... and storaged them in a drawer in my bedroom. Today I just have what I really use in my bathroom and buy new products when the others are used up

This way I can enjoy it more buying new stuff.

As some of you may remember I bought a L'Oreal Studio Secrets primer last week (I think?). It's the little jar one, that's pinkish in tone. I thought I'd post my thoughts on it, now that I've used it a couple of times.

I like how it sort of smooths out and mattifies my face. It also makes my mineral foundation give better coverage without me having to buff on a ridiculous amount. Since this is the first primer I've used ever, I really can't say much more. One place I have noticed I shouldn't put it is under my eyes. I experimented by putting a little under my eyes, but it made my Touche Eclat look weird and almost creasy.

So there's that. I've just spent the day in bed today, reading March Vogue with Tina Fey on the cover and watching YouTube vids. My body is still kinda out of whack from yesterday. I must be getting old, getting this messed up from a single night without sleep.

I have the L'Oreal Studio Secrets primer in red against redness as we haven't got MUFE and its primers here.

I really like it under Studio Fix Fluid foundation!

I used to store quite a few shower gels and lotions too but now I try to use them up before buying new ones because if stored for long period of time, the fragrance and consistency of the products change. However, it is difficult to finish up bottles of products that I don't really like. Usually those will be around for a long time.

My cuticles are peeling and hurting. I need some heavy duty hand cream!

 

[LMD84]

yes i agree, i have got so many bottle of body creams and shower gels at home, i need to use them up before buying more! i even have lots of soaps that need using!

my mum always buys me lots so when she visits i end up with loads of philosophy and l'occitaine products!

perhaps i shall try out the l'oreal primer at some point!

if you guys get on well with it, it must be worth a go. but first i must get the mac prep and prime spf50 for my holiday

 

[InspiredBlue]

I must admit that I buy my shower gels at the supermarket. There's one brand that has nice scents and doesn't feel plasticky and super cheap like some lines do, so I just stock up like 4-5 bottles of that every now and then.

But I bet all it would take is me getting one shower gel from Lush and then I'd be hooked.

It's a nice sunny day here today. Maybe some more snow will melt away

she also goes to the cco before she visits and gets me some mac goodies too which is awesome. i only see her a couple of times a year though. i'd rather no gifts and to see her more often... but that's the way of the world i guess

Do you have access to L'Occitane? Their shea butter hand cream is brilliant. I also love Aveda's Hand Relief.

I also just started using Dior's Creme Abricot and it is genius for the cuticles. Super intensely rich, so best for evening before bed. Sorts super dry cuticles right out.

I know you like Dior, so thought I would mention it.
