It's that flipping time of year again! DP and I write each other a list of things we would like to receive and then we pick stuff off each others' lists up to the value of about £100. So what should I be asking for, dear ladies?
I am almost 32, fair combination skin, curly hair that's prone to frizz. Favourite products are lip gloss, blusher, powder, mascara, lush facial stuff (oil, serum, anything vvvv moisturising) and anything that makes cuticles behave. Could also do with a nice eyelid primer that stops shadow and liner creasing within nanoseconds of application
All suggestions gratefully received! Smile
Thanks

Josie I have my eye on a few items too DH family all create lists which I find most bizarre concept

Clinique gift set of chubby lip pencils all in nice colours
Clinique gift set of 4 Happy perfume in hard bag sizes perfect for work

You mentioned an eyeshadow primer, I would highly recommend the urban decay one which is great making eye shadow last all day.

Thanks girls! Sweetie, I am both lazy and extremely fussy so I insist on lists - it makes sure I get something I want and no-one has to rack their brains thinking what I would like/want, and also means I don't go insane trying to come up with presents for family who say 'oh anything at all really' when I ask what they would like. I know, I'm a diva! Grin

ohh another diva here
in our family we always circulate a 'wish list' of about 10 things and really look forward to getting something I like and have hankered after! I find it a lofe saver when shopping - we have huge families on both sides and it s silly how many we have to shop for.

monica vinader mini marie pendant in gold is on my list!

I m such a saddo I have the larger marie pendant but would love thie mini one too as they re such an easy neckpiece to wear ...

I swore I would never do lists but after my dear dad bought me the most heedeous coat made from an unpleasantly coloured and smelling llama 3 years ago, I have relented.

Oooh theseventhdwarf, I love those Monica Vinander pendants. I have never heard of her before - where did you hear about her jewellery? My jewellery box is utterly lacking anything like that, and they aren't crazily priced for a special piece either. Did you choose the pendant and stone yourself?

Came across her stuff a year ago - love it ! have the marie pendant in rose gold.
Really would love the other pendanty one witht he stone in it the looksnslightly 'hammered' or the othe small version of the marie pendant.
Their stuff is fabulous and comes in a beautiful presentation package a real treat and so reasonably priced.
I m not on commission!
If you pm me your email - i ll send you on a mail i got from them recently - i think if i nominate you you get a discount code or something.
